They were among the earliest releases in the Shodo series, and CSM belt line, which makes me think they are just flatly popular. If Hiro Mizushima wasn't blacklisted by Toei, I bet we'd see as much of him as we see Kento Handa in the crossover movies.

They are also just really good looking suits!

Yeah it does seem that in Japan outside of Den-O, Faiz is the most popular series. And Kabuto probably because it's a modern take on karate bugmen theme.

So... how're people liking Zero-One? No spoilers, I swear I really will get to it eventually.

Very good. 8/10 so far. Beautiful suits, great characters, simple yet interesting concept.

There's a spot where the plot lags pretty badly, but overall it's a fantastic show. The main character is pretty screamy, though, and I can see where that may not work for everybody.

I suppose it has grown on me and isn't particularly bad, even considering how annoying Aruto's voice is and in terms of recent years I was admittedly more a fan of Ex-Aid,Build+Zi-O. That contest arc thing was of course annoying though.

So, like, what DOES a drill have to do with a rabbit or a tank, anyway?

I just watched episodes 28&29 today and I am LOVING it! Some of the best suit design ever, great theme and some nice character work, plus the fight choreography has been top notch. I've enjoyed it so much I'm actually nervous for Saber to start (in case it's, y'know, not as good).

I think it's suppose to be a general "science" weapon that any form can use... maybe

Drills have the same coolness factor that tanks and rabbits do.

I'm less concerned with how drills relate to rabbits and tanks, and more with how a drill can also be a gun. I mean, what's up with that, right?
