Dunno if you running other show would mean old ones would be replied, but I don't watch Sentai, so gotta pick up where I left off.

It’s as close to a continuation to W as you’d dream of, if you were dreaming of an animated continuation of W. The voices are good, if not 100%. Akiko’s is dead on, Philip’s evokes the character well, the various side characters are in the right range, but Shotaro’s misses some of the weird vulnerability and childishness that I’m used to. It’s a good voice, but it’s a little too generic-sounding for me. But that’s minor! The episode absolutely
feels
like Fuuto, and that’s half the battle of creating Kamen Rider W in a new medium.
Unfortunately, Shotaro and Philip's actors are too busy thus they're replaced with someone else, even in the stage show Fuuto PI. Shotaro here is voiced by Yoshimasa Hosoya (same one as memory of heroez) rather than Renn Kiriyama. For anime format, Akiko stays with one model of sneakers rather than changing them throughout episodes.

Tokime is a hilariously designed anime girl to this untrained eye (this show is way more LOOK AT HER BOOBS than I’d care for), but she’s a femme fatale in a noir world, and that’s a solid hook for a Shotaro-led opener. Chuuta’s a fun client, with his slightly horny but still well-meaning need to redeem Tokime. The detecting Shotaro does is all about establishing his connection to the city, which is crucial for caring about his character. The bizarre shadow realm that Tokime’s accessing is a neat Only In Anime visual, and that’s
really
what I want this show to be: not an animated version of the stuff W did, which is comfortable and no small task, but an animated
expansion
of W’s aesthetic.
About the realm Tokime's accessing, tbf the Gaia Library is kinda similar for live action W and it's handled well too. Even the effects here in the anime isn't much different from the live action. Tokime's outfit is one of my favorites of the franchise. Both Chuuta and Tokime were hard to figure out (not criticism) in this episode.
