Okay, I was pleasantly surprised! I really enjoyed that.

...Probably a little too much, because now I want the belt which I wanted to skip. The sounds sound a lot better now that I know what they actually, well, say.

I also totally just got the joke of the magic words being "Please" after my second viewing. I'm pumped for more, and I like that there appears to be a second Rider right off the bat. And considering Haruto already had the Land Style ring, maybe that yellow/orange ring the shop owner was grinding has something to do with it?

I doubt it, I'm pretty sure the other Rider is the White Magician, and that the scene in the preview is a flashback, I would think that the stone the shop owner is grinding might be for the Drago Land ring?

Oh, right, the spell rings are orange too. I haven't done a whole lot of reading on Wizard, so I'm completely in the dark on this whole White Magician business.

I guess I derped a bit there!

Just watched the sub and I honestly didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I did. The effects were pretty nice (by Kamen Rider standards) and all in all I found it to just have a nice flow to it.

I'm not sure why though, but I did get a slight Tsukasa vibe from Haruto. I'm sure that'll fade as soon as I get to see more of him though.

Now all I need to do is get used to the lack of compound eyes.

You and I are complete polar opposites then. I just couldn't get enough of the damn thing! I kind of want to get the DX belt now. :lol

I really enjoyed this first episode. And with everybody complaining about the belt being to noisy I'll say that I felt the same way before I saw the episode and only saw the toy demos and now I really want that driver. I have a feeling that we are either going to see a lot more conflict with Haruto and the Dragon and maybe an episode or two where he fails to save someone. All in all I'm really excited for this series.

I just went through the opening sequence, and I must say that Kamen Rider Wizard really makes up for the lost time caused by Fourze. Will definitely follow this throughout 2012-2013.

that dragon is mind me of magidragon from magiranger

Okay, so after watching it subbed, there was not too much I really ended up missing beyond that Haruto became a Phantom himself. The episode was still quite good but I swear, that is the most proper henshin device ever.

BTW, I have a question about Over-Time's release itself. Is anyone else having moments where the picture seems to get dark, then light, then dark again? It seems weird and is most noticeable when Haruto is in the jail cell talking to Rinko. Secondly, the subs seem to cut off and continue on the next line a couple of times mid-word. Did anyone notice this? For example, the last word on the top sentence will be pro and then the first word on the bottom sentence would be tect.

Kinda psyched to see Wizard's powered up form,which I'm guessing will be all his henshin rings on one hand.Love the plamonsters.Kind of thing going there.the little gadget machines from joker,the candroids from ooo's and the foodroids from fourze.The belt saying magnificent during the kick was hilarious.Really hyped about this series.

The first episode left a very good impression on me. Suddenly, the doofy hand belt doesn't seem as doofy anymore, though I got a chuckle seeing that the gun asks you to shake hands with it.

The CGI seems way better then what we saw in series past, thank god because Wizard seems to be using quite a bit of it. I'm liking a lot of the characters so far. Haruto seems way more interesting then Gentaro, at the very least he's not too overly obnoxious with the "I'll give you hope" thing, versus Gentaro's "I'LL BE FRIENDS WITH EVERYONE!"

I wanna see Haruto VS Homer Simpson now in a doughnut eating competition. :lol
