One of the posters on the wall is for ?Haran Banjo? a boxer with dragon-like features who?s best friends with a rabbit and whose catchphrase appears to be ?I won?t lose?.



Another poster, this one reused from Muteki?s debut in Ex-Aid, is for ?Magical Girl Koyomi in Magicaland?, whose main catchphrase is ?Now, it is show time?, produced by ?Shiroi Mahoutsukai Productions?.

I would watch both of these animes! I guess we just have to hope that Fuuto P.I. is successful enough for the public to demand even more Kamen Rider animated shows.

Yeah, I especially liked how the Forceriser takes the Progrise Key and then forces it open. It's the standardized version of Fuwa's disregard for process and approval and collaboration: it just cracks the Key open and steals whatever's inside. I love that detail!

Though Aruto's 'replacement' of a father was given to him instead of being made like Seiji's, that'd be the drastic difference.

Yeah, one of the most successful things about Zero-One so far is that it's basically We Need To Have A Conversation About Technology. How it intersects with our work, our goals, our safety, our emotions... this is a show that doesn't pretend to have answers for all of these questions, and it's way more interested in trying to spark debate. The closest it comes to a recurring point in regards to the moral and ethical uses of technology is that there needs to be some human empathy somewhere in the process. Seiji was failed by the system because he could purchase a simulacrum of his dead daughter, and the only consequence was a guy like Fuwa throwing him in jail. If there'd been some caring oversight at Hiden, maybe they'd've helped Seiji find a healthier alternative.

Was it wrong for Seiji to commission Seine the way he did? Yeah, probably, but he wasn't in the right mind. But Seine didn't ask to be born in to the world, she didn't ask to become a copy of some dude's dead daughter. The AIMS law dictating that she has to be "destroyed" over something beyond her control, her face, is the worst look so far in to how society discriminates against HumaGears and I feel like she's the biggest victim in all this. Now Seiji has lost two daughters and he has to find a way to live with that guilt and move on, somehow.

I'd like to think that Seine's backup was installed in that Humalexa at the end, but I'm not sure how that feels to Seine. (Do A.I. care that much about a physical form?) But, you're right, it's weird for a show that's about how Humagear deserve a lot of the same protections as people to have an episode go You Should've Never Been Born and just sort of not talk about what that means for the Humagear.
