other then the usual suspects, he used Chain Array in this week's episode. I don't really get the impression that Gentaro doesn't know what he's doing though. Mostly because it's already been established that he knows how to fight, plus it's usually Kengo/Ryusei that tells him what switch to use and in which combinations. |

I didn't like the show at first and then it grew on me. But the new rider... I can't stand. I can't stand the person nor the powers or suit. :/

I've lost a lot of interest in Fourze. As others have stated, we spent the first 10 to 12 episodes getting to know the Kamen Rider Club, and now that we do, we've completely abandoned them to nothing more than comedic background spots. Ryu's storyline is now predictable - it's going to take a story-arch of 5 to 10 episodes for him to reveal himself to Gen and it'll have to do with his friend in the hospital. Then they'll team up to beat the Virgo and Libra Horoscopes.
The suits look cool but there's absolutely zero choreography with them - jump, wave your arms, fall down, flip a switch, CGI/blue-screen victory, rinse, repeat. |

My biggest problem with Fourze, the same with OOO is the fighting. These shows are supposed to be about cool choreography and killer fighting, right? OOO was thrown into it the same way Fourze was and neither knew how to fight at all. The suit actor doesn't get to show of all the cool stuff he can do, all he does is dodge in a cowardly way and look scared, and fall on the ground a lot.

I'm not sure why you guys are moping about the choreography. This is a guy who has little to know martial arts background duking it out with monsters. Of course the suit actor is going to have to express this gung-ho kind of fighting style in such an uncommon manner.
We're all so used to having a Rider transform from an average dude to a savant in combat that we forget most of the characters aren't really "fighters" per se. Look at Ryuki and how Shinji fights (literally like crap). So Gentarou's little Vale Tudo approach to things is a lot more refreshing. He's a brawler, and it works for him. As for the KRC, I'm really okay with them as a permanent cast. I mean these guys are essentially in every show, whether its the Santa-Chan, Queen and Elizabeth, Watcher Man etc etc from W, the ORE Journal crew in Ryuki or even Grandpa, Natsumi and Yusuke from Decade. You need a solid cast aside from the Riders that they can use to propagate the story. I won't say "give it time" because I feel the patience of the average viewer has decreased as more series debut. I for one think the pace of story-telling is a HUGE step up from OOO which was dead to me. Like all other Rider series, you either like it or you don't and I'll proudly say I'm pretty happy with Fourze so far. |

This show only started to lose me once around the Fire switch episodes but since has picked up greatly. It's been a fantastic ride so far (forgive the pun). Need we be reminded that Gentarou isn't exactly the first Rider to not know a martial art? Kuuga, OOO, Den-O, those are just the most obvious examples I can think of. I think an awesome foil to Gentarou being such a brawler type is that Meteor is highly trained and skilled yet they generally accomplish the same amount in battles.

As loathe as I am to admit, it's beginning to grow on me. Last night, the director of the Gun Caliber film, went to great lengths to give Fourze another shot. @#$%...
