As for the lack of W in-suit, I could care less. I enjoy Kamen Rider for more than just the monster fights. Following Shotarou and Philip on more in-depth mysteries and character arcs that pick up beyond the series is what I'm most interested in. W and Accel appearing is obvious, but having the promotions being very out-of-suit focused is pretty smart cause these characters are WHY we like these masked heroes in the first place.

It's not that I'm against CGI in anime, it's that I'm against W himself being CGI. The best CGI still looks out of place next to hand-drawn people, and while for vehicles this is rarely an issue since they're obviously different, for a living character (even one in a full-body costume) it will look horribly out of place.

And while CGI in anime overall has gotten a lot better it is still shit if there's no talent or effort behind it. Not every studio is Kamikaze Doga. I look at the CGI White Snake in JoJo's Part 6 and cringe. (even if it was mercifully minimal in use)

Also so far the animation hasn't blown me away. It's very pretty, but there's not a ton of outrageous movement that's convincing me it's super high quality. They could cut corners when it comes to action.

It's also worth pointing out that all this is just me bracing myself for the worst, not necessarily expecting it or saying it will be. Hopefully I could be wrong and they're just saving all the money shots as these trailers tend to, but caution never hurt anyone. Just means I'll be even more impressed if it's not.
