All right. This is about how far the Maga Translations went for me, so it's all new territory for me from now on.

Now I'd like to mention, when I first got here, I was expecting the Idol to basically be a unit of them becoming the idol but switching between them for some reason but was not surprised when it turned out to be the nerd (I mean, I had an inkling when she reacted to Shoutarou's comment).

I love how there's the little scene with Shoutarou returning to the detective agency and seeing the dangerous aura as he arrived. But this too feels like something you'd expect from Kamen Rider, in how Phillip and Tokime don't quite hit it off and are likely going to spend this arc getting better acquainted. Gosh, I enjoyed Shoutarou and Akiko's expressions this episode.

I'm going to be honest, I don't care much for Idol-ish stye songs, but this one actually slapped. Here I was thinking it was going to be your usual idol J-Pop song, but no, I actually strangely liked this one, and the animation was quite good too (Lots of physics this season...). And then we got W's fight against the Meganuera Dopant, who's actually a Super Dopant, and eve that fight was really fun to watch, even giving us a sneak peek at Fang and X-Treme Forms. As a side note, I adore how they added Shoutarou's hand gestures and wrist flicks, and how they even use costumes they wore from the series proper. Good stuff.

And that ending segment with Shoutarou and Phillip switching bodies, getting confronted by the Road Dopant, then that brilliant "Transformation" where they found that reversing their pre-transformation poses, they form an X, which promptly leads to a Kamen Rider X cameo and Phillip (Shoutarou) starts shouting "Set-up! Set-up! Set-up!" It had me laughing for a good minute. I love this show.
