Gaim and Ex-Aid's suits were initially met with lots of hate. Forgot Drive though. Besides, I was kidding.

I think he's worried that since he likes the design, the show will suck. I think some of us still have Ghost and Wizard trauma.

I LIKED Wizard, but most people found it mediocre.

'he'
Absolutely disgusting!

To be honest I already have a big backlog so I might take a short break from Rider after Ex-Aid ends. Will wait for the general opinion and watch about 5 at once

Ease up, "bro"!

Eep! My apologies. I wasn't paying attention, and I think I automatically assume people's user icons reflect their gender which... actually doesn't follow at all, does it?

I liked Wizard, too, to some extent. I've told a couple of friends that I felt it was a perfect Kamen Rider show, so long as you only watch a couple of episodes. (I haven't yet figured out whether it might secretly be a great show if you eliminate most of the filler.) It had a great suit design, terrific action sequences, a cool theme, a good cast... it had all the foundations for an excellent Kamen Rider show.

Build... I mean goodness knows. Will we get a veteran toku writer, or will they continue the trend of experimenting with creators newer to the franchise? Will it suffer from excessive filler, or will it manage to pull off the pacing of something like Gaim and Ex-Aid? (Drive was just strange: it seemed to be failing with excessive filler and a bloated supporting cast, then had an very strong final third.)

UGH. I'm back to my annual, "UGH, I hope it's good" mindset.

Nooooo.....

If you're gonna meme, do it right. :lol

So then I'm a 10-year-old girl? :lol

Also I'd say "Femme Rider (not THAT one)" kind of precludes the Avatar as a mark of sex.

I think we've already established bouts of questionable reading comprehension on my part. Look, I can't blush any harder! Although I guess if I were trying to defend the indefensible, I could claim I was reading "femme" as opposed to "butch" rather than being short for female. I'd totally be making that up, though.

Incidentally, that Sakura quote - reiterated a few times, as I recall - is the bit that best stuck with me. (Well, after Keroberos demanding cake.)

Back on-topic: now that we've got a silhouette, I'm trying my best to be patient about seeing what the suit actually looks like. I'm not being very successful. The (pretty good) fan-art actually makes it a little worse. *twitch*

Saved that image.

Also I am apparantly a USB flash drive. How in the world am I typing?!

I AM RYUKENDO!

So, who would you want to see writing Build? I know I DON'T want anymore trips to the INOUE ZONE but, he seems to have retired from the franchise since bombing The Next. Well, I know he'd never do a series but I'd love a Hirohiko Araki guest episode. Speaking of Jojo's, Miike would be a coup to direct.

Actually he wrote the Kamen Rider 1 movie just a little back.

As for the question, I'm never not up for Kobayashi, but she just wrote Amazons, so I suppose I'm good for now. This may be an extremely unpopular opinion, but I would honestly love to see Inoue get another chance in the head writer seat. Considering all the changes in producers and the like since Faiz and Kiva (as much as he in particular exemplifies it, brooding melodrama was kind of Rider's thing back in the 2000's), I genuinely think he could produce a great show, if his leash is being properly held.
