The show really does have an interesting story with good characters.

TBF, I can't really say what could've been cut, since every scene is working to establish this very detailed scenario. It's less of a criticism and more of an observation.

I'm looking forward to the rest. Again, self-taught, self-made superheroes are a commodity with Kamen Rider I find. Typically they're gifted or stumble upon their powers (usually from the enemy power) so to see Build literally have built his own Driver and Bottles, is pretty refreshing. It instantly establishes not only the powers and their functionality, but his intelligence and creativity in one fell swoop. Again, my only criticism is the bottle shake just doesn't look cool and I don't even know why it's necessary? Do the toys do something if you shake them? Do they only work when fizzy?

I also like how you've got the classic superhero subplot of Build as a fugitive because he got tangled up in the law. Assuming Ryuuga is in fact innocent, it'll be interesting seeing them prove that considering they're both, y'know, amnesiac.

I like it, but I still found it unexpected, even if again, I can't say exactly why.

I love Anything Goes. It's so energetic and upbeat. It perfectly encompasses Eiji's character, which I find a lot of KR theme songs don't do and instead go for just being a good song. It just makes you feel like this little Kamen Rider is going on big adventures.
