fixed :p

Doesn't everyone? :P

seriously though, Phillip does grow as a character and, initial impressions aside, becomes just as endearing as everyone else in the cast.

I'm sure he looks better in a dress than I would......

I just don't get the dress.... apparel. I mean, is his look ever explained? Do I need to pretend he's my son and just accept him for who he is, and only then will I see how awesome he is?

Any way I'm starting with Kuuga and moving on forward, so I look forward to W.

I would say consider this. W has two main protagonists.

For lack of a better phrase,

The entire Kamen Rider Double series is centered around a 'bro' theme.
Just wait for the character development. Hopefully you won't be disappointed.

Philip is one of those characters that grows on you over time. Yes, at first, when you wonder what is so important about him, you realize he is a great foil for Shotaro, and an excellent compliment to his character.

Yeah, Phillip has the most character growth in the show, only rivaled by Terui's character growth. I'll say this, if Phillip hasn't made you cry a few manly tears by the end of the episodes, you have no heart :lol.

Its not a dress. Its just...flamboyant Japanese fashion. Crazy-weird stuff you'd see on a Harajuku street show.

It's only awkward when you see that Toei sells the wardrobes for the two main guys, where Shotaro's look is modeled by a guy, and Philip's is modeled by a girl. Yup.
