Very odd show. On the other hand, Kuuga is a lot of fun to play in Battride War (after you put in a lot of work to level him up)

Agito seems to be sorta having its cake and eating it to, as the main Rider is a bit of a cipher so far, but there's 2-3 others in the mix as well, so the action/character quotient is working with the need for Rider action, rather than against it. That's . . .progress? Maybe?

Most fights were only a few minutes long, and tacked onto the very beginning and very end of the episode with Godai responding so little to what happened once out of the suit, along with other shit like super healing, you could cut out all the fighting and you wouldn't notice.

Meanwhile five episodes into Fourze and really liking it. Not really a big fan of goofy series but the tone fits the show. I like how Gen isn't just perfect with his powers immediately, he actually goes to train before he can use the switches effectively making the most of the fact he has a teleporter to the moon. I also like how his attitude makes badass even the most seemingly goofy switches, I just really like him in general.

Same with the villains, yeah they may have first world problems, but they feel like problems high schoolers would have and the show manages to make a lot of sense of its high school setting and uses it beyond a novelty.

It does it in a very different way, but Fourze world builds as well as Kuuga did and that is impressive.

I also checked out episode 2 of OOOs as I planned to watch that with Fourze once I'd finished with SPD. However nothing really stood out for me in the episode, in terms of the story or characters, it all just felt a little tired and samey compared to what I've already seen so far. Hell I'm not sure I even get all the medal stuff even with Ankh's simplified explanation.

Then again, man the action sequence was fucking EPIC.
