No, he looks like a children’s Tokusatsu character. That's what they all look like.

And people also flipped their shit once they saw a "Fruit Ninja" who transforms by getting his head replaced by a giant fruit. Turns out the show was good. So no, you can’t judge a show by its design.

No they are not. Drive is a solid show. Ghost is trash, but Drive was good. You just had to stick around a bit to witness it, which sucks, but the show wasn’t as bad as Ghost.

I’m sure Toei’s marketing board is shedding a collective tear because a grown ass man in America isn’t taking Kamen Rider serious anymore.

What? How do you now it can only work through comedy? Are we ignoring the countless shows that worked without heavy comedy or…? Oh I forgot, the suits look a bit silly and the theme is videogames, there's no way they could make that work without relying heavily on comedy, right? Much like they couldn’t make street dancing fruit warriors work without relying heavily on comedy?

Watch Amazons.

Nope. Even with Ghost's heavy focus on silliness, Den-O was a lot more silly and soap opera-ish. Unlike Den-O both Drive and Ghost also have a working set of antagonists and a story that goes somewhere as opposed to Den-O's nonexistent plot.

How strange, because Zyuohger's actually good.

With Ghost that’s the case yeah, but Drive was much more mature than Ninninger. And just because the design of the suits could interest younger kids doesn’t mean the show will be lighthearted.

Also I hear the "Sentai and Kamen Rider target different audiences"-argument a lot but I never saw a source for that. I’m pretty sure it’s not really the case for a long time now, if it ever has been.

I grew up in the 90's and have fond memories of them, wacky colors and fashion are not among those. The suit colors of Ex-Aid are horrible.

Didn't say it was an excuse or an argument, I was honestly curious if people weren't around to witness the glory that was 90's fashion.

And you're more than welcome to be wrong, my homie.

Welp. Another shit Rider show.

I'll keep waiting patiently.

Now with the pictures of the suits revealed I can say that I really love them. I know some people have mixed reactions and thoughts, but I really appreciate the unique designs.

I like they have SD Gundam-like eyes :)

Cool. So you've seen the first episode?

Uh...
 

So, with the scan being real, I want to talk about a couple things.

1) These suits look ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! They look like a 5 year old drew up his own Sentai Characters, and they where sent to Toei, and they thought that it would make great Rider costumes instead. Also, we haven't even started, and they're ALREADY re-using a suit for a Rider. Seriously, this is stupid!

2.) I would've liked the idea of the show, but the whole concept for it looks incredibly complicated. There's this one Driver that everyone has a copy of, and they use random little trinkets to henshin, and then have other things that look like a handle with a card holder on it, to give them random bits of armor.

3.) This seriously looks like a low-budget Kamen Rider Gaim.

Nuff' Said

Oh my gosh, those were the exact words too, weren't they? Why Maylasia?

I have a good feeling I'll like the show no matter what, but I'm curious what the tone will be. Probably more of the same as Ghost, but I wonder if it might be like Rider's very own Carranger, or blow everyone's mind and be the next Gaim.

You watched the whole show already? Damn, can I use your time machine? Or did you use a crystal ball?

That totally fits the theme of video games though. A dark pallatte swap of the main character is something you see so often.

Those handles are the trinkets they use to transform. The robots act as their armor for their power ups.

Maybe the rider bike transforms from it
