P.S. I was ready for an insect, but I didn't want a grasshopper either. As a last resort, they could have used a praying mantis or a cricket.

It's by no means, bad, but just a little tiring after Gotchard was very "back-to-basics" being primarily grasshopper theme for the base form, and Legend obviously caused the show to steer towards an anniversary theme a fair bit, which was only a bit frustrating due to the fact that Revice was entirely anniversary themed, which only felt a bit strange as Zero-One was very "back-to-basics" and so on.

I might be nitpicky, but I genuinely miss the wildly varying themes over years for hesei. Especially Wizard->Gaim->Drive->Ghost->Ex-Aid->Build were all so starkly different that getting three Grasshopper Riders in the same timespan just feels a little overcrowded in the "return-to-form" department.

I actually wouldn't mind too much if the theme was something like, Film Genre's with a brand new writer, but it's looking like we are getting a combo of Takeshi and the director from KingOhger, so it's not looking like we are going to get any exciting new ideas any time soon.

Granted, I could be eating my words in the future, and I genuinely hope to be proven wrong. Gavv was a lot more exciting as a concept and even the execution, so we will have to see what Zeztz has in store.
