There is so much attention to detail in making this feel like W, that just wins me over at every turn. We get the recap segments with the bulletin board, so many shots in the opening paying homage to WBX, the Memory Voices, and the Archive segment. This show just nails it in those regards.

I don't know if people caught on to this yet, but Tokime is heavily inspired by the "dame" archetype from Noir Detective Stories that is a prominent theme for W, from the seductive smile, the curvaceous body, she's absolutely Shotarou's ideal woman. It should also come to no one's surprise at this point that she's a focal point in this series.

And boy, am I loving the animation for the Dopants and Kamen Rider W, just works great and is much better than using 3D CG for them. And the transformation scenes just look gorgeous! I could see the Road Dopant transformation in live-action, and W's having an extra flair, even displaying some details from the Dopant transformation into the sequence.

I'm loving this, even knowing the Manga, I'm enjoying this even more animated. I'm excited to see Accel in action after seeing the opening.
