My thoughts:

- Loved the theme song! Totally what's expected out of ISSA. Kick ass bop!

- Pacing was insanely fast. Probably done by design because of the fact that they have so much ground yet to be covered with this being the Heisei Riders tribute season. I would have liked to see a little more backstory as to how the evil Zi-O came to be and how the resistance force came to fruition.

- Even though we weren't so far off with the finale of Build it was great to see Sento and Banjou again.

- Definitely would like more backstory of the heroine too.

- Good first episode to kick off the new series, but more groundwork needs to be done for sure.

- It'll be interesting to see the placement of the Decade arc in the series with Zi-O also being a Rider series that is dealing with time travel and history shifting tropes. I predict it'll be one of the last arcs before the final big storyline that needs to be taken account of.

- Also, that pic with evil Zi-O and the Shocker logo from an earlier post was mind-blowing too. Looking forward to seeing if there's a correlation between the two.
