We'll find out in due time.

I guess I do like the colors. It reminds me of the 90's during my childhood. It would cool if our main hero is a retro Otaku that becomes a Kamen Rider. Having Toshiki Inoue as a writer would be cool. It can give me hope that the show will be good.

Looking through this thread really highlights why I tend to only stay in the Figuarts threads around here nowadays. This has been the same song and dance every year for a while now. Tons of complaining and whining about how "the old Kamen Rider was better" and how "Kamen Rider's gone to shit" and so on and so forth.

I get these are mostly opinions, but they tend to be worded in such a toxic manner sometimes that you can't help but get aggravated at it. And if that's what some users are hoping to cause, then that's nothing but sad.

Is it okay to be apprehensive about or just not like the suits? Yes. That's down to opinion and taste, which is all different. But can ANYONE say this show is terrible based literally on the suits and what we know of the gimmick? No. Because we've seen nothing put into practice at all yet. People need to stop seeing changes to the Kamen Rider franchise and formula as ruining anything and more like possibility. This is so different from what we've ever gotten so far that I can't help but be interested in all of it. I love the concept. I love the suit themes, I love the extremely eccentric and unique suit designs that practically stray from your typical Rider designs in ways that haven't been seen since probably Hibiki at best. I'm going in optimistic, not dreading every single thing. I honestly believe more people need to do that here.

And at the end of the day...it's a kid's show. This is no different from stuff like Transformers or TMNT or anything. If you're fond of the franchise, one series or series aspect you don't particularly like should be the bomb that detonates your entire interest in everything.

I love everything I see. Amazing concept, wacky designs, it all just seems to work so perfectly.

Oh, and apparently we're getting an Ex-Aid Eyecon

I think it's less a rumor and more that whatever it would've been, it became a Rider series so early in production it doesn't matter. Certainly the suit wouldn't have been designed yet, and if they wanted to change it to be more traditional, they could've well before the suit was made, so it was all very deliberate.

I have an easier time accepting Hibiki as a Rider though, for some reason. I actually like these designs just fine, but I can't help but feel just a couple tweaks would make them fit in better with Kamen Rider. Replacing the SD Gundam eyes with normal, compound bug eyes would do wonders for them, even if it sacrifices a bit of the really unique identity they have.

But then again, when you look like an explosion at the Crayola factory, how much more identity do you really need?

And now for the really important part- the story!

*Our hero's real name is "Emu" (likely pronounced "M")- a brilliant computer genius who creates a new series of artificial lifeforms named the "Bugsters," all of whom regard Emu as their father. But when the Bugsters go out of control, Emu creates the GamerDriver & Gashats in order to stop them.

So, a bit of GoBusters mixed with a bit of Gridman...

Oh My God I Love These Suits. It's like they said "Let's make a KR for this girl" And I said yup.

Basically our Main Rider is one who inadvertently created the villain group! What an idiot he is! :lolol

So for the first time, Our Main Rider is the inventor this time around because most of past rider have people created a belt for him!

Anyway! Where is your source for this?

Oooh I love the sound of that plot synopsis, I can't wait for this show to start up!

So like if Krim Steinbelt became Drive to stop the Roidmude. I like this plot.
