Ah! Can't believe I've just stumbled upon this thread! Kamen Rider Faiz is definitely one of my top favorite Rider series along with Gaim and W and I'm extremely glad that you're liking what you're watching thus far! Hope you'll give the movie a shot as well as I personally think it's one of the best standalone movies in the franchise.

As for the series itself, I can understand why it's divisive, and even agree with some of the points (most of which has to do with the plot in the latter half). Regardless of the plot, I just love these characters that are so real and grounded and it is the characters that make the series for me. Humanizing the monsters is something that Kamen Rider really doesn't do enough. Of course, the suits, action and Rider Gear are all top-notch and are among the best in the franchise.

Auto Vajin (his bike) is also my favorite Kamen Rider bike and one of my top favorite robot designs in all of fiction. Not only is the transformation really elegant, the bike functions as not only a simple mode of transport, but as a support mecha that can actively help Faiz out even during combat. That's brilliant.
