Like how Neon fought back against her mother, but then they had plot-justified amnesia several times and it stretched out the family drama throughout the entire show.

Yeah, I think there's potential in this premise if it's done right. But I'm sure it's about to get convoluted.

More like 3.5 in Inoue's case.

Regardless of our disagreement on the quality of his works, yeah, I hope we can agree that this once every 3 years pattern is too much.

Kobayashi actually had 3 main Riders and 4 Sentai. Although I certainly wish she capped at 3.

She even fits the actress/idol mold that we had with Neon/Poppy. Also that she can change outfits in the dream world probably means she's going to have a spectacular wardrobe.

A spectacular wardrobe would be nice. Feels like Izu and Tsumuri had their entire wardrobe budget blown on one outfit, so I'd like to see more variety in Nemu.

I have no doubt he really likes writing Kamen Rider, considering how it was his request to write Geats all on his own and Takebe eventually had to rein him in when he got carried away. A good writer needs more than just passion. A good writer needs to know the limits of what he can do alone and when to defer to the wisdom of others. Ironically, he understands this on a conceptual level, as Geats actually talks about the value of teamwork often, yet he cannot apply his moral to his own methods.

I had more faith when Minato was rumored to be producer, but this Yanaka guy was already assistant producer for EX-Aid and also, most alarmingly, Outsiders. However, I have no idea how he will function as chief, so I won't judge him yet. He absolutely needs to keep a tight grip on his reins.
