Now I don't dislike Build's base design, but his other forms really highlight how gratuitous Rider gets. W had barely noticeable changes between his half form swaps. Literally just the trim and colours, and it worked very well and was quite classy. Build is what W avoided being, which is to say every half having its own physical differences that just get goofier, ugly, and clash harder with each other. There's no combo of W that looks bad, because the colours are smartly contrasted and his physical design changes very little.

I will not argue, but at the same time, I perceive the ugliness of the Build forms, as well as their huge number, as something in line with the lore. Sento is a brilliant scientist, Evolto is a crazy alien. They are techies who have gone crazy and have no sense of beauty.
As for the anime, I think we need an anime series based on Shinobi.
