Solid Episode 1. I liked it for the most part.
Like some people said, the comedic parts were lame sometimes, but I can't hide that some of them worked for me. The simple ones like when Izu throws the case in Aruto's face always make me laugh.

speaking of Izu, she is way more expressive than I expected after seeing the trailers. I like it more now.

I didn't expect Isamu and Yua to have that kind of relationship at the start. I thought Isamu would be determined but not necessarily reckless, and I expected him to be a bit more "close" to Yua, but in this first ep he is more like the hot blooded guy who don't listen to her.

This first fight scene was really cool and you can definitely see they wanted it to be memorable and fun to watch.

That Jin scene though. So many emotions went through my head :
Confusion : why is a humagear attacking Jin, presumably a humagear too (metsubojinrai are humans ?)
Creepy fun : Jin beating up this humagear without looking at it and laughing like a kid
Shocked : Jin actually pulling a REAL gun out, not a toy, to headshot at point blank the humagear.

Phew. I think the fact he is laughing all the time is going to be fun to see him interact with Aruto who want to make people laugh.


Speaking of which, that's why I found this episode solid. The show already managed to explain to us what is different with this world AND give us elements of Aruto's past to explain WHY he wants to make people laugh and I didn't feel overwhelmed by informations (Take this in your face Zi-O. that's how you're supposed to do).

Passed away my ass though. Kamen Rider had too many daddy issues in the recent years to make me believe that. I'm already ready to bet his dad is the big bad and Aruto's end goal will be trying to make his vilain dad laugh the same way Aruto tried to make his "Humadad" laugh.
