Kamen Rider Wizard Production Clip: Henshin & Fight
 

Details on the magical new Kamen Rider are emerging every day, and now we have a (very brief) clip of Wizards' transformation and combat style!

Observe the Magic!

First!

Interesting! Though I'm not sure I like the simple color change (along with the helmet shape) of the costume. Which Figuarts version to get!? lol

Hmm, def getting kiva vibes from this. From the way the MC dresses to the henshin. The grunts look great also.

That one guy totally looks like a preppy V3.
Wizard looks okay, but I'm still not excited.

I'm always excited for a new series.
Especially because, while I love Fourze, the characters just haven't endeared themselves to me like Shotaro or Eiji have.

I love when new show info starts, finding out each new thing is just so fun. I hope this lasted better than fourze did. I stopped watching after sing metor storm. But from what I see, it has alot of the stuff im a sucker for.

Magic guns ftw.

Looking awful slick there. I like how the whole ring thing allows it to continue the number motif but without a crowded belt. Also, did anyone else notice how his helmet looks like various gems in his different forms?

i think you may be right there. ruby=flame emerald=wind saphire=water topaz?=land

I like what i'm seeing!

You know how a lot of people gave up on Goseiger after Gokaiger was announced? That's how I'm feeling right now. Fourze has never really interested me (except Magnet States, which looks awesome), but Wizard has my full attention.

Wow, footage sure came around quickly. I like what I'm seeing though!

When I heard the new rider was wizard I wasn't too excited but after watching the clip I'm ready to get started.

Loving what I saw. Despite the giggle-factor of him needing to touch himself to Henshin.

Michael Jackson would be proud :lol

Think they'll include the cardboard box with the eventual Figuarts release?

Oh the joke I could make and then get banned for.

Can we ban mods? and if so, may I have the honor? :lol

I bet the belt shouts "Woah!" every time.

I'm thinking he's gonna have a hard time looking a like a badass if he's always flaring out his fingers to show off his rings. Unless he just owns it with a "Kiss the rings bitch" kind of attitude.

Those rings look like very promising collectibles. I certainly would like a Kamen Rider Wizard Ring collection versus an OOO medal collection or Fourze switch collection.

Double, a Rider many consider to be extremely badass, is one of the brightest colored Riders out there, rocking black and an extremely bright, metallic green.

He'll probably let the ensuing asskicking make his poses badass by association. Hell, if Kabuto managed to make pointing upward badass, I'm sure Wizard can manage.

Oh you and your Kabuto. It's thanks to you that I've started watching it.

The grin across my face grows.
I wonder how long it'll be before people figure out that I don't think Kabuto was a good series at all :lol

Reeling people into watching a bad show? You're despicable.

Well, you have to watch Kabuto to see how a proper side character is done.
Kagami is the the greatest secondary character in any series, ever (Well, KR series). Greater than Date, greater than Nago, greater than Ren. Kagami is so amazing he's pretty much the lead character.
Tendou isn't a bad character, but he's a poor one.
Kamen Rider Kabuto is a series that hampers itself down by having an amazing back up cast following an uninteresting hero. Tendou is perfect, and he's not afraid to prove it. That leads to the issue that, because your main character is legitimately perfect, fights are predictable and overall, boring because there's no tension. However, that's not necessarily a bad thing. A lot of the humor of the show is derived from the auxiliary cast's (Mostly Kagami's) interactions with Tendou.
But the largest problem is the development. The story is (Much like everything else in the universe) centered around Tendou, but Kagami is the one who grows from it. Kagami is the character receiving the development a normal character would receive while the infallible Tendou merely walks right on by, plot following hot on his coat tails. Tendou feels more like a plot piece than an actual character, until very close to the final act when he starts to display actual growth.

And I love every second of it.

...Wow...I could probably write a Kabuto review...

that looks great...just all around great. looks much better than 'the rocket man' fourze. i love fourze, but this looks better

Looks like fun. I like the various colored forms. I'll be checking this one out.

I can think of better. Asumu from Hibiki leaps instantly to mind - he was pretty much the main character of that show, too, and his story of growing up and becoming a man was the main focus of the show (at least until the staff change).

I also think Hikawa from Agito was way more fun than Kagami.

That was just hyperbole lol.
I've yet to watch Hibiki (Because I'm still on the fence on whether I want to watch the entire series or just the first 30 episodes or something) or Agito (Just been put on the backburner and I never got around to it :lol)

You also must remember that it's all subjective.

Yeah, I was thinking that too! His belt is a little weird though

Kiva as written by Hibiki's writer?
AWESOME.

Looks like... Kamen Rider Rider Force. =/
