Yeah, Hibiki is more of a Fun Hero, rather than the Flawed Warriors and Well-Meaning Scumbags we're used to at this point in the Heisei era. I like all types, so Hibiki is only a lateral move from Blade or Faiz.

Like, I get the backstory of the series' genesis, but it's definitely a Kamen Rider series. Specifically, it is very very Kuuga. The template is just Family Comedy, rather than Cop Drama.

There're Kamen Rider trappings they're not really doing (no "Henshin!", no belt/driver, how often Hibiki takes his helmet off, no bike), but the storytelling is 100% Kamen Rider.

It's all based on Hibiki?! That's why those kids never say Henshin when they do their choreographed transformations!
