Poke around in some of the Giam threads. You will see some people proclaiming this the best Rider show ever made and that Kamen Rider should just stop after this year because Gaim will never be topped. It's a good show, but comments like that are ridiculously over-the-top.

I can't think of any other Rider show - even Kiva - that was as bad about blatant toy shilling as the DJ Gun. Every time that thing is used we have to see the same close-ups of how the dial and turntable gimmicks work on it. It made sense the first time or two, but we still get it every damn time and it horribly breaks up the flow of the action scenes.
