Yeah they toned down the tropes a lot. By the end I wasn't even sure if we would get a Rider Kick out of it. It helped though, made me appreciate seeing the familiar stuff return even more when it did.

Heck, the name "Kamen Rider" isn't even dropped once. Although that's something a few of the main shows do as well IIRC, I think Wizard was one example who only got the title in the crossover movies and other like Gaim get different ones, like "Armored Riders".
