I'm so torn. On one hand I absolutely love the Zero-One suit and the fights. I think the spfx look good, the fights look good, the base-form Z-One suit looks amazing, and Izu is a super fun character.

But the story is really not doing much for me so far.

Take something like Build, or 'W',.. or even Fourze or 555's(Fiaz), and the characters and story were so good that I was hooked in just a few episodes. (I've heard Giam is awesome too but haven't watched it yet.)

With Zero-One we're 20 episodes in and it's starting to feel like a grind. I am not looking forward to 6 more episodes of 'Contest. Human VS Humagear. Human Cheats. Humagear goes berserk. Fight!',... it's just boring.

I did not enjoy the second contest, it's 'more of the same'. We've had 4 episodes, a months worth, that are just, "meh".

I want rising action, suspense, consequences for actions, character development, etc. This just feels like wheels spinning in the mud.

The Cheetah/Woman Rider, the Wolf Rider guy,.. are not developing as characters and are just there to be there I guess. Wolf Rider guy just seems to stand around and scowl most of the time. Mr. 1000% is totally boring.

The adversarial Vice President trying to kick out Aruto and take over the company isn't being utilized or developed.

really no one seems to be developing much at all. Even Izu I have to admit I just think she's cute and sort of funny sometimes but she's not really going anywhere so far. She's slightly developing a bit and acting a tiny bit more human. But that's not saying much for being 20 episodes in.

idk 20 episodes is plenty of time to really develop some story and hook a viewer. By this time in Build or 'W' I was on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next.

... I'm sort of bummed by Zero-One. Which sucks because I think it's the best suit design I've seen in a long time. He really is an eye catching and fantastic looking Kamen Rider with cool finishing moves.
