It'd be kind of hilarious is Ex-Aid was in any way similar to Faiz...imo, of course. Honestly I don't really care what tone ot has as long as it's well written. If I had to choose, I'm personally hoping for it to be batshit insane myself. The G Gundam of Kamen Rider.

Maybe not storywise, but tonally it seems like it. I feel like the Imagin were more of a threat than the Gamma lol.

Sure, they were always kid shows but, I don't think there has ever been a Kamen Rider show without some kind of goofy comedy for instance but there IS a notable shift in tone over the years. Whether it's a valid reason for liking or disliking a show or not is whatever, but I don't think claiming Toei's lightened it over the years is inaccurate.

If it's like Faiz, then it'll be year 3 of me skipping Kamen Rider. I just can't deal with the melodramatic bullshit that is forcing aggression because 2 characters refuse to have an actual conversation for 30 episodes.

Like I says, it's most likely to be Gaim-Like Show. It will have a humor but have a dark storyline

Even they says Ex-Aid feel like Ryuki meet Drive Show

We don't have any real basis on what the tone will be like at all, though.

So there are rumors of Gen Urobuchi returning for Ex-Aid on the web. I'm going to take it with a huge grain of salt. Urobuchi seems pretty busy to do another show.

I wouldn't be surprised that Gen Urobuchi is the head-writer of Ex-Aid

It like if Toshiki Inoue might write Ex-Aid instead of him!

First I've heard of it. Whose the source?

Wow, you skipped Drive? Because I think it'd be a pretty good show when edited down to no more than about 15 episodes.

I'm tempted to watch Faiz just so I can have some context for this discussion. Also, to give me a reason to stop watching Hibiki now that I've reached That Point.

I was commenting to a friend that I really like the design for Kamen Rider Brave, and would've preferred that as this year's main Rider. He killed it by pointing out how much Brave looks like Accel Trial.

Grain of salt? I'd use a jumbo shaker. Wish-fulfillment rumors always strike me as incredibly suspicious.

THe rumor has came from Heroshock website, saying that Gen Urobuchi (Kamen Rider Gaim) can be the writter of this new show, and also that Koichi Sakamoto (Kamen Rider Fourze, Kyoryuger, Ultraman Ginga) can be the director.

So far, these rumors are coming from Facebook. I'm 99% sure that they are likely fake.

As much as I'd like for Gen Urobuchi to write for another Kamen Rider series, I'm pretty sure he's busy with Thunderbolt Fantasy and the second season of Concrete Revolutio.
