[Deepsea]

I have watched the first episode! As a person who hasn't watched enough kamen rider I can say it was... okay. Die is right Sougo is a really weird protagonist as is his want to be king. We don't really get much in the way of depth here and I feel that's really really necessary when you're introducing a character who goes onto to be an evil tyrant. As of this moment it feels like Sougo puts his personal satisfaction over that of others, and like his call to action towards the end wasn't particularly interesting or satisfying.

I just don't get it, why does Sougo want to be a king what does he get out of it? What is a "King" in his mind? does he have an idea of what a king is? There are a lot of questions her about motivation tbh.

Geiz on the other hand is decently compelling, he's very classic rider in a sense taking up an unbearable burden (killing what amounts to an innocent man to save the future) so that no one else has to to suffer or carry that weight. Also he uses a ghost power up, and that's cool!

Tsukuyomi is also neat and is a clear opposite to Geiz. As Die noted earlier she wants to save Sougo from himself.

Woz is just generally neat and I enjoy his character and outfit (hoods are cool).

I haven't watched build, so I didn't feel much seeing Sento and Banjou, but they're interesting enough to establish some things and that time travel has effects on the time line, since I assume Sougo doesn't know anything about the skywall.

So overall it was passable. I just feel like I know nothing about Sougo and that's not good when he's the main character, and even worse when Kamen Rider is usually so good at setting up who main characters are and why they fight in first episodes.
