Really I thought when Meteor was introduced when the show really started to go down hill, I mean it's more like down mountain with how near flawless the opening third was and Meteor was a great secondary Rider but I just felt like the whole show fell to bits.

Yea, Im not sure what my full opinion of Fourze is, I just love the designs and characters, the story, eh. At least we finally have a new horoscope now, I was getting tired of hearin about it.

You won't like the story or the characters by the end, you'll also be well and truly sick of the Horoscopes as well.

Whereas in the first third they tried to elevate the characters above their own silly goofiness and make them about something, the final third especially reduces them to paper thin caricatures which is a shame because I had my arms wide open to accept Gen as my new favourite main Rider (my favourite main Rider is Eiji for the record).

The story...was clearly not planned out, makes very little sense and the stuff that rarely does work is rushed to such extremes it ends up meaning fuck all.

Also the Horoscopes, despite all their build up in the first third are by the final third reduced to monsters of the week, which undermines pretty much all of the character arcs of both the heroes and the villains.

Yea Ive heard Fourze loses it after awhile, but I need to see for myself how bad it is. btw Eiji is tied with Shotaro as my favorite.

But one question, what in the friggin hell is the teacher wearin suspenders in the show for? He does nothin but be an a-hole to Gentarou and creep on the female teachers?

Like pretty much the whole Rider club, he has a running gag and that is it for his character. So his suspenders are there so he gets to do something, basically.

At least he has those or Id call him the a-hole teacher instead of suspenders.

I have to say, magnet states has got to be the crapiest design for the suits, I mean, all they did was add shoulder pads and small shoulder cannons to base states, you cant even tell it changed colors from white to grey/silver. Granted I dont care much for Elek or Fire states either.

I hated all of Fourze's upgrades, except Cosmic States (but that was fucking ugly). Because Base States allowed him access to all the switches, his "upgrade" forms, actually extremely limited his power sets, rather than powering them up and the show seems to recognise them as useless as well, as they are barely used, even when Cosmic States appears which is a true upgrade to Base States, Base is still the most used form.

I would rather just see the elek, fire, magent, cosmic, whatever else it he uses, see them used as regular weapons on base states, I love base states but if I had to choose another state itd be Fire just for the color

I actually found the switches more fun when used by Meteor to add elements to his martial arts.
