The characters are all flat and/or annoying, with Wataru being the biggest weenie to ever put on a Rider belt and Nago having a personality that swings wildly based on whatever the writers need him to do. There are multiple occasions where the Riders pull new powers or weapons out of their butts with no explanation - most of which are only seen once - just so Bandai can sell the toys. The writing isn't quite as over the top as Faiz, but it still carries all the hallmarks of post-Agito Toshiki Inoue and the crapiness that entails (the most annoying being that Kiva has absolutely no traces of Wataru's personality in battle - it's like they're two different characters). It's probably not the worst Rider show ever, but it's a real close contender.

I wouldn't call dropping you into drama without any set up or introductions "done well." I'm sure it becames a watchable show, but that begining is awful. Probably the worst begining to a Kamen Rider show I'vew ever seen.

2 episodes in with Kiva

Pros
1. Kiva is easily the most badass looking Rider
2. The Wake up Rider kick looks sweet.
3. I can see me liking Kivat throughout the series. vampire bite henshin is a nice touch!
4. The Chopper type bike he rides. The only Rider i am aware of with that type of bike. It fits the theme
5. I like that Wataru is eccentric. It certainly sets him apart from everybody else i've seen. He is the polar opposite of Gentaro. Quiet and anti social, I can relate

Cons
1. I literally have no idea what is going on....at all
2. seriously ....what is going on?
3. I am assuming the 1986 Japanese Buffy the fangaia slayer gets explained at some point?
4. Dragon castle?

I want to see where it's going. It captured my attention , even if it has slower parts.

Well, Super-1 rode a Harley-Davidson... Which, for all I know about motorcycles, is the same thing as a chopper. :p
