I just wanted to jump in on this way late to point out that the "inspiration" isn't limited to basic ideas as the Armor Hero Atlas movie has a character who's basically a Kamen Rider Chalice / G4 hybrid (Armor Hero Techno), right down to the uni-visor and heart plate. The latest series (?), Armor Hero Captor, cribs the 'historical reference' vibe and the Genesis driver (well, sans the... SO-DA... mug and straw) from Gaim.

Not all of the designs are so blatant, some are really cool and they're all really well executed. I watched part of Atlas raw and thought it had some cool stuff going on, the filming was great and the fight scenes were well executed (better than the show, it seems?).

I'm gonna try the dubs. Not crazy about dubs...
