Too bad they ran out on clock up budget. The early episodes got better action choreography. Originally Dark Kabuto was going to have a bigger role too. Also, another problem is that the writers keep changing the tone of the show from comedy to serious every few episodes without finding the right balance. The actress for the main heroine got sick and left the show hanging after her big arc, but at least she came back near the end unlike Hana from Den-O.

Yeah the tone is definitely one out of the many flaws of the show. Still though I loved how stuff looked overall from suits to clock-up battles like I said. I loved the whole zectrooper concept and Hell Brothers were so cringy yet so badass when needed.
If they had better management of the narrative it would have been a solid 10/10 for me alongside Kamen Rider BLACK but because of the shifty narrative tone and inconsistent bits here and there I give it a 6/10.
Yet I cannot help but repeat how awesome stuff looked. The show is 11 years old as of 2017 yet I would not mind a rewatch.
Best fight ever was when after Kagami became Gatack he and Tendo had their double rider moment protecting Hiyori at some unfinished/destroyed looking building.
And that opening theme. Beautiful.
