:lol no it's just I watched four series back to back and the more streamlined, beetle centred designs bled in together.

Things like the Wizard suits and that Cop suit just stood out because they had a completely different design, obviously all those riders have different designs but they are more in the details than the entire suit being reworked from the ground up.

That's ironic, because G3 is designed as a "Mecha-Kuuga", while Agito and Faiz aren't beetles (Dragon and shark (Though the shark reference is VERY weak, admittedly), respectively) :lol

so i think i am gonna watch W and Fourze at the same time, just saw episode 2 of each now on 3 of W, might end up finishin W first for some reason i am likin it better than Fourze.

I really loved the Cop suit, shame he was shit.

And really? I think they both look like beetles.

It's the bug eyes.

Bug eyes on Riders is like black visors on rangers. It's easier to count which series don't have them in some form. Also Agito is a dragon, but intentionally designed to resemble Kuuga, so they take the same basic shape and slightly morph it into different ideas. (Agito's dragon motif really comes out from the frilled crest and teeth-like mouthplate verses the bugly maw of Kuuga)

What is its connection to Kuuga?

And honestly, and I'm not complaining I'm getting it for free and all, but most of the older Kamen Rider subbed series are released in such poor quality you can barely see the finer details.

It's been a bit of a pain with Kabuto, because it likes to show off the time mechanic (which I don't blame it for) when it's got like all that frozen rain on the screen it all becomes so pixellated I can barely see anything.

It's a sequel, and a lot of the backstory sort of elaborates on Kuuga.

BUT I haven't seen Kuuga so don't hold me to that. I just know what I am told.

Maybe if I continue to be bored by Kabuto's repetition, I might move over to Kuuga, I really liked the fight scene in that opening episode, even if the budget constraints were a little glaring in places.

Yeah. Blade's video quality is terrible.

And from what I know (Having never seen either :lol), the connection is that G3 (The cop mech) was designed after Unidentified Lifeform No. 4, Kuuga.

Here's the statement from the producers, who consider Agito and Kuuga to be separate.

As stated and clarified by the Kamen Rider Wikia:
"The reason why the producers want us to think Kamen Rider Agito is an independent story is because, "Yusuke Godai fought so hard to put smiles on everyone's faces that if another conflict were to break out afterwards, it would diminish the value of everything he fought for." Thus the Kamen Rider Agito staff want Kamen Rider Kuuga to be a standalone, conclusive story in which at the end, Yusuke Godai protected our smiles."

That's actually a really good explanation. Afterall, kind of drops a green one on your rider if it turns out he didn't actually destroy all the bad men.

Also two things about Wizard: Those rings are GIGANTIC. I get why they need to be big so we can see them in fights, but I wish they shrank to regular ring size when he's a person. They look so unatural and "hey look at this toy on my hand it's like wow" I just wish they were either real ring size or shrunk is all.

Also the theme song... kinda blows. It's generic, and the intro sequence is dumb. I guess I got spoiled by most rider series having awesome theme songs and cool intros.
