I tried that January 2016 and could not get into it despite trying a second shot. I'm happy you're able to find enjoyment in something I wasn't though!

I just finished Heisei Generations yesterday. It's actually a really fun rider movie. I especially liked Shinnosuke and Haruto in this (I've never seen Wizard). I like all of the little callbacks, like Wizard instantly knowing who Gaim is, or Drive commenting that it's "just like a god" for Kouta to show up in the nick of time.
And the fight scenes are some of the best I've seen in Rider period. All of the untransformed fights (and there's A LOT of them) are awesome. I also like the main villain's monster form, and I wish we could get a figuarts of it.

Finally got around to watching Kamen Rider 4.
Honestly, I'm starting to wish I'd watched Den-O before Faiz. It's not like Zeronos is that plot-relevant and at the very least there's no spoilers for the show in either SHTGP or KR4, but still, having more context on the character would have been nice. He's very prominent in both but as far as I care he's just some dude whose belt makes cow sounds. Still, this was pretty cool. Not entirely sensical, which I guess just comes from how closely tied it is with the Taisen, but still a pretty cool crossover story that made good use of the characters involved (i mean, i guess, again, i don't really know about the den-o side). Have no idea why the wiki is so convinced that literally all of Takumi's friends died, though, because that's apparently all they got from this special. Turns out the wiki is fucking stupid, although this comes as no surprise. I'm just dumber for trusting it to not misunderstand shit. |

I'm almost done with Faiz. Almost. I'm at episode 39 now.
... Am I dead yet? This show is so... argh. Why the fuck is Takumi an Orphenoch? It makes absolutely no sense. Zero, nada, null. Why do they even have him go through multiple phases of questioning if all Orphenoch are evil if he himself was one all along? That is so damn stupid. |

To be fair, I think that's the point. It's pretty much implied (though not very well) that the reason Takumi can be such a loner is because he's intentionally pushing people away. Him questioning whether Orphenochs are all evil is a question that also extends to himself personally and something he struggles with because if they ARE all evil, then that means he's also evil. What he sees in Yuka and Yuji are Orphenochs that can live in peace with humanity. It comes to a head later on in another episode when Smart Brain convinces Takumi that he was behind the massacre at the school that Kusaka and Mari were apart of. I see what they were going for, but it doesn't necessarily work well because IIRC, it was never stated that Orphenochs suffer from a lack of control, like what we see in Amazons. Perhaps it's supposed to be implied with all of the violent fits of rage we see from Yuji's group that Orphenochs are naturally violent, but meh.

There's plenty of OTHER aspects of the show that aren't justifaizable though.
