Medical interns aren't the same thing as interns in other fields, though. Medical interns are paid during their internship (the first year of their residency after completing medical school) for one thing. Also, in the U.S. at least, interns aren't allowed to practice medicine unsupervised, as Emu does in the episode. I don't have any idea what the laws are in Japan for that sort of thing, though.

He isn't unsupervised though. The one scene where he's doing legitimate practising there's a nurse and an older doctor in the room with him.

Oh man, I enjoyed this. The humor worked for me. Even if it's the same slapstick we've been receiving since Den-O, at least the characters are actually in funny situations and not just making dumb, goofy faces like Onari.

I like the main character well enough. The action was insane. I loved it.


The giant CGI monster...yeah I could have done without.


So far, so good, but I'm still cautious since I liked the first episode of Ghost too.

Am I the only one who see's the video game setting as a better justification for the terrible CG monsters than Kamen Rider has ever had?

I mean, come on, they're digital monstrosities manifested in reality. It kind of makes sense on some level that their initial forms would be a poor simulation of realism. In that regard, the blatant use of computer effects didn't bother me so much.

You know, I was thinking. Since Emu is a Pediatrician, will that mean the "Victim of the Week" will have a likely chance of being a kid?

OMG! This thread got more people than Drive, Ghost and even Zyuohger! OMG! Ex-Aid might be Gaim of 2016-2017!

I guess we don't have to deal with the whole Asuna Karino/Poppi thing because Asuna confirmed in this episode that SHE IS ACTUALLY VIDEO GAME CHARACTER NAMED POPPI!!!! I guess Writer thought this revelation is too obviously to be a story arc.

Anyway, So It been 5 years since a tragedy? I wonder why?

I wonder if Doctor from Emu's flashback playing a major role in later episodes because they hiding his face! Why they hid his face? A major role?

I think Ex-Aid will be darker than Ghost. Ghost wasn't a dark show because they got over-the-top character like Onari and they don't have EVIL Rider!

Maybe they probably stop using Level 1 Suit in later episodes because that monster was CGI and Toei don't want to spend their money on CGI.

I am hopefully that they don't use that 2-Part Episode arc for this one because it doesn't work for a multiple rider show! They don't need to stretch the whole episode into 2 part! No 2-Part episodes for me!

I like the opening because it's NOT another big battle or a villain introduction. It just a very simple opening

Edgar Wright would be pleased with this one! JewWario would love to watch this but he's passed away :(

Okay, but if this show betrays my unconditional love and trust by self-destructing halfway through and only I notice I'm gonna be real angry.

Seriously, I wanna just enjoy the ride with everyone but the atmosphere of Ghost->Ex-Aid is freakishly similar to that of Wizard->Gaim and part of me is super paranoid about it. This didn't exactly end well for me last time.

I guess worst case scenario the lack of Urobuchi means at least I won't have to deal with Madoka fans insisting it's the most transcendent, original show ever, right?

Am I coming off too bitter? :confused:

Haha I was thinking the same thing. But I still didn't like the CG, and I hope they don't use the LV1 form battles all that much...

Switchblade should be pleased with this one because NO ONARI!! I think they kindly tone down the comic relief character.

The director/Brave's father and Poppi are kindly comic relief but NOT MUCH AS ONARI

ORRRRR
Maybe it will be abysmal to an extreme that only you could love. And it could be yours, all yours. You and your one and only, sweet, sweet, misunderstood Ex-Aid... no one knows you like your Fishypoo...:p
