Giving this thread a bit of a title change.

Yep, and he used that a fair bit. Just because he didn't use it to transform doesn't mean it wasn't practical.

It looks like episode 1 is 46 minutes long and there are apparently going to be 13 episodes?

So, two Kamen Riders running concurrently. I'm tentatively thinking of Amazons' relationship to Kamen Rider like ZERO to GARO.

Yup, looks like we got long episodes. Sounds great to me.

It also means that, despite its shorter episode count, Amazons may in fact end up having a longer runtime than Amazon. So that's weird.

Strange. Surely someone will sub this, right? I still need to watch Amazon. I've long been interested in that one. This only increases that.

Anyone post this yet?

ETA: I'm guessing the main crop of suit actors was too busy with Ghost to work on this as well.

Wow, that really doesn't look like a normal Rider show. The cinematography and music are really different. I hope we get a way to see this outside of Japan because now I'm really intrigued.

Neat. I'm interested in watching it.

Over-Time will be subbing this and have the trailer up. However, they will only be releasing scripts right now as the available raws have poor video quality.

That was a nice pro tip on how to eat raw eggs in style. :lolol
This really feels like they are trying to also appeal to the Netflix/Hulu streaming service crowd aside from the conventional rider fans. Now that I think about it Kamen Rider 4 must have been a test bed of sorts. And seeing how they are doing those legend rider eps for Ghost on YouTube I guess Toei is looking for other new places to showcase their stuff other than tv and the silver screen knowing that there are other outlets aside from tv and theater.

Subs for episode 1 are out from both TV-Nihon and Over-Time. We got options, folks. Go grab 'em.

I really liked the first episode. It pretty much went exactly as I expected, and left off at the point I was hoping for. Definitely feels like a return to form for Kamen Rider, at least reminiscent of the early Heisei shows I've watched in its grimness. But it's not totally humorless, and it has style. I thought it was pretty fun.

The opening theme (which plays during the credits) is pretty good.

The cgi blood does look pretty bad, though. Really should have gone practical for that. Outside of that and some wonky looking lasers, this series looks really good.
