Really enjoyed the trailer. Lots of neat stuff, looks like something I would enjoy. Only thing I'm not too fond of are the video game effects. They seem a little obtrusive and their cartoonish look doesn't fit that well imo. I was expecting them to be more like what we saw in the cameo in the Ghost movie, with a more "digital," sorta transparent looking aesthetic. Not sure if I'm explaining myself too well.

Couple of thoughts on the Riders:

-Still convinced the Kujo guy is Lazer. Especially since in his introduction the name was yellow--Lazer's color. Granted, Emu himself had red, but the colors matched for Brave and Snipe.

If so, though, I'm not sure why they haven't actually said anything about it. Especially since it definitely looks like Lazer is going to be in the show from the very beginning. It's not like they're exactly hiding that Lazer is a Rider--he has a face and a belt and everything (though I guess the latter isn't that visible). Guess they're just saving the reveal for TV-Kun or something.

-And speaking of, I was 100% sure the president was GENM, but now I'm not so sure. They really seemed to be aiming to show Parad as a clear parallel of M, since in its limited time the trailer went out of its way to show both as gamers in similar ways. His wardrobe also matches GENM's colors, as does his name's colors (as opposed to the president's gray/black). It also makes sense given GENM's apparent role as a higher-up in the Bugsters' ranks and the fact that we haven't seen Parad's Bugster form.

However, this brings up the question of why then Parad's Kamen Rider form is called GENM and why he uses GENM technology at all. I mean, the whole "shady company responsible for everything" twist is visible from a mile away, but such an obvious connection and the whole thing just feels..weird. But then again, knowing as little as we do now (since the fact that GENM is called GENM hasn't even been officially revealed either) it makes sense that I do not understand nothing.

Anyway, whole thing looks intriguing. I'm looking forward to this show.
