I'd go with excite

In his defense, that's literally all the show gives you. He's not glossing over anything, that was really as deep as it got with Ghost.

RTA sub is the quickest, if you want to watch them as soon as possible.

Does anyone know which episode of Amazons did Iyu (or her dad) sing that "One day, the stars will fall" song fully?

I know, I did watch Ghost I just though I must have missed something

Which rider is the best dressed when not fighting and selling toy belts? Personally I think Kota/Gaim. His overall wardrobe I think is the best. Also, Kiriya manages to pull off his retro-esque leather jacket, Hawaiian shirt, round shades, partially-rolled-up-jeans-that-survived-a-meteor look.

I think I'll go with Gentaro. I love the delinquent look that he has going on and, while I'm usually not a fan of the kind of pompadour often used for japanese delinquents, I actually like the look of his and think he pulls it off really well. Then again, I have a thing for school uniforms so...

I do like Takeru's wardrobe though. Its really simple but I think it works really well with the modern buddhist priest look they were going for.

Probably Haruka/Amazon omega as well as Kota.

Haruto. The dude just looked cool. I especially liked the jeans, which reminded me of a slightly less silly Iori Yagami from King of Fighters. Shotaro is pretty high on the list, too, with his snappy outfits and fedora. And finally Yoko, because I am shallow and legs.

Personally, though, I like it more when the characters don't have a set costume when they aren't transformed. You saw this more in the Showa and older Heisei eras with characters who wore different clothes every episode. It adds a nice touch of realism to the show. Like, I love Kotaro, but he only had one outfit for the entirety of Black RX - Eiji had more costume changes and he was literally a hobo.

Anyway, Takeru is easily the worst. I freaking hate all of those gaudy print hoodies he wore.

How can we forget the man, the myth, the legend....Tendou Souji!

Tendou's style is smart (and he is just the greatest), but I have to admit I love Takeru's gaudy print hoodies the most. :p I'm watching Ghost right now and I want a few of those hoodies for myself (fun fact: I'm often told I have a bad fashion sense). Oh, speaking of Ghost, the uniform that Alain/Necrom and some other Gamma guys wear looks fantastic.

I also love Eiji/OOO and Kosuke/Beast's hobo looks! No one else really stands out to me, except maybe Shotaro/W because of the fedora. He would look dapper without that damn thing (it's just an unfortunate connotation my brain makes when I see a man wearing a fedora, sorry Shotaro).

I think it's the villains and comedic sidekicks that tend to have the most eye-catching fashion styles.

Shotaro wins the fashion competition for me. So dapper!

oren pierre alfonso!

Anyone else notice that Ex-Aid's hairpiece is starting to get sunbleached into a orange / peach color?

Hey guys what websites do you watch kamen rider? List me as much as you can

So it has been, however long ex aid has been airing, since i was last here in which leads to my question how is EX aid and how does it compare to ghost?

Ex-Aid is fucking brilliant, the only major complaint the fanbase has about it is the suit design, it completely shits all over Ghost according to most people

well better than ghost is all i need to hear, my apologies to those who liked ghost, I was not for me.

Okay so hate to just keep asking question, this is around the time of the final suit form..... I dread to even ask but how is it?

No bug themed but rather anime-esque. Think Akibaranger but with goggle eyes.

Imagine if Ex Aid had gone Super Saiyan 3

Ooooh I JUST read final form. It's a Super Saiyan

That does not seem so bad

I am not quite certain how I think about that, I think super Saiyan 3 was a tad over the top in terms of design and Ex aid looks a bit to silly for me already but I guess I will see.

It's every bit as terrible as 90% of the other suits on Ex-Aid. You do get used to them, though, and the story is more than enough to compensate for crappy suits.

You know I still really don't understand the hate Ex-Aid's suit designs get. Like I understand that they're the exact opposite of traditionally cool, and I didn't much care for them at first myself, but they're so well thought out it their craziness, and so perfect for the show they're a part of, I just lost the ability to look at them with anything but fondness around 5 episodes in.

Same here. The weirdest parts are the parts I like the best - Ex-Aid's eyes and hair are just so geometrically satisfying.

I remember being extremely bummed over the LVL 1 suits but, damn if those goofy-ass things didn't end up being my favorite part of the show. It's really the context that makes these things work; doctors using video game battle suits to kill digital viruses - it's just so, so wonderfully bizarre. There's a great sequence when Brave (I think) is i LVL1 form battling a LVL1 bugster in the ER while Emu or Poppy watches from an observation window - it's just friggin' nuts.

The suits are cool but, only in how ridiculous they are vs how good the actual story is. That's "Ex-Aid Cool".

For me it's a combination of a large array of factors:

- The big anime eyes generally look really bad.
- Ex-Aid's helmet with the funky anime hair (and the various Ex-Aid repaints by extension)
- Everything about the level 1 suits (which, thankfully, rarely show up any more)
- Almost every suit is a mishmash of garish and clashing colors: magenta and lime green, navy and neon yellow, canary yellow and pink, neon blue and neon orange, etc.
- Most of the power-ups consist of attaching giant blocks of stuff to the base Rider suit. The vast majority of them do not color match the Rider they're attaching to (Ex-Aid and Snipe's red armor, Brave's yellow, Genm's pink and green). Several of them also fail to match up thematically, Brave's baseball cap and turntable being the worst offender.
- The proportions on Maximum Mighty X and the fact that it's just regular Ex-Aid wearing a big suit.
- The sparkly dreadlocked wtf-ery that is Muteki.

To be fair, there are some suits I like - most of Brave's power ups, for example. Out of the entire show, though, there's only one suit that I would say is legitimately great: Dangerous Zombie.

Traditionalism. That's all it ever is with things like this, for any series, in any fandom, ever.


On another note entirely, I had a thought about another anniversary rider, should they ever do one. Since legend rider forms have kinda been done to the death by now, what about a rider with forms based off previous collectibles? Like, an Eyecon form with ghost summoning powers, a Gaia Memory form with USB plug fingers, etc.

I love all costume designs in Ex-Aid Riders, I love character development, and storyline too. But some things I dislike about Ex-Aid is :

- Some forms like Level 3 become rarely used and Para-DX never uses his Level 50 forms anymore.

- Ex-Aid never use Bike Gamer again for transportation and for combat.

- The energy items usage also become rarely used.....

- Boring battle against weaker Bugsters because they always killed and then revived again. I really want new Bugsters born from some game like Dangerous Zombie, Pefect Puzzle, Taddle Fantasy, etc.

One of the best post-Decade shows so far, and much better than Ghost IMO.

I see what you did there ;)

I think the suit is fine, the dreadlocks are something new I haven't seen much on Toku hero suits yet and the golden star motive fits the video game theme very well.

Agreed 100%. It's a real shame that some people didn't even give this show an honest chance just because of the suits. I still painfully recall the "This show is garbage" - shitshow that happened when the first scans were starting to hit the net.

Not gonna lie, this show being as good as it currently is makes me glad I was on the "Give it a chance first"-side back then.

Since I know a few certain people will think I'm talking about them, no I don't mean you guys, you tried watching it and it wasn't for you. I'm exclusively talking about those who never even watched a single episode of Ex-Aid and think the show is terrible based on promotional images. And even if you decided not to watch Ex-Aid based on the looks, that’s fine, again I really only target those who were vocal about the quality of the show based on the promo material here.

I understand the hate. They are some incredibly goofy designs, with an obnoxiously bright color pallette and some weird anime eyes.


But I friggin' love them.

What I want to say. The aesthetics meld very well with the show.

I find it so weird how they don't spell it "crusade."

Its a pun on Poppy's role as a nurse I believe.

Well, a lot of your problems seem to be against the show's overarching 90's 16bit console / action figure aesthetic which was incredibly garish, stupid and OTT*. If you weren't around to experience these things, thereby getting a nostalgic kick out of it - yeah, I can see the obnoxiousness being on the annoying side.

*See pretty much ALL Batman figure lines 1992-1999

I was around then and I hated it all back in the day, too.

So did I buuut now it's pretty funny.

Yeah, but Laser Batman though.

Why is Batman wearing a quilt? :confused:

At any rate, the 90s action figure aesthetic is not a good look. That's the same reason why I've always hate Sasword's Masked Form: it is every terrible 90s action figure design decision rolled up into one awful suit.

Eh, it's an acquired taste.

Yes and a bad one, at that! But, what can I say? I love me some bad taste!
