It's a great design and theme. I'm feeling a lot of the hate is stemming from people just not getting the concept. Or they just hate everything, which I've seen alot in the KR fandom, some folks you'll never please.

I like the shape and lines of the suit designs, and I like the theme. I just don't like the colors, that's it. Pretty much everything else is fine, I just can't get passed the colors just yet.

I have to admit I really like the idea of a cheesy looking hot pink main Rider. I'm feeling pretty excited and the general concept sounds interesting. As a big RPG fan I'm particularly interested in Brave out of the ones we've seen so far. Really curious about who will be the main writer on this season though. Does anyone know roughly when we'll get that information?

Well, I know Yasuko Kobayashi, Riku Sanjo and Takuro Fukuda will NOT be the main writer of Ex-Aid

Kobayashi might do a second season of Kamen Rider Amazons, Riku Sanjo is taking a break to write his new manga and Takuro Fukuda is not writing Ex-Aid because he already did Ghost!

I'm not sure if someone posted the story synopsis already, so just in case, here it is.

I have to admit it is creative. I like the idea of him creating the driver himself. I'm calling it right now. If he creates the driver then the other riders are just going to be his nerdy gaming buddies that he gives drivers to.

I wonder what Racer's voice will be like.
My speculation is that they either go cutesy like Datas from Goseiger or the direct opposite and go gritty dudebro.

There's a difference between not getting something and not liking something. If some people prefer their Kamen Rider shows to not be about weird neon video game dudes with anime eyes, I think that's understandable.

I mean, Gaim had an orange slice for a sword, but he was also a cool samurai, which I think balanced out the weirdness for a lot of people.

I'm catiously optimistic about the show, but I don't think it's exaggerating to say this is the most out-there set of costume designs Rider has ever had, and they've some pretty wacky ideas before.

For me the aesthetic just works given its theme.
And I could use a magenta-colored rider by now after two shows that failed to grasp my attention for the whole year.

The story bit of the main page in the catalog doesn't mention half of what's being claimed. The only things I can outright make out are that it's about a genius gamer named Emu who uses the Gashats to become Ex-Aid and fight Bugsters/Bugstars.

I think Emu is like Tony Stark of Kamen Rider because both of them are brilliant, creating their own equipment and inadvertently created the villains (Unless you prefer Hank Pym being the creator of Ultron in comic than film)
