Beat me to it.

I personally really love the design, and I'm fine with the eyes, in theory. But it was already kind of evident in the picture of the Rider kick in the catalog and it's evident in this, the fact that he's got eyes and they aren't moving is gonna cause Problems.

The good thing about the style of helmets the Riders have had up till now is their ambiguity, they could really be looking at or doing anything. That's still the case now, I guess, but making the face a deliberate part of the design through the eyes is gonna make it more of a challenge to get across.

But I guess there's no use crying about it until we actually see it in motion. I'm hoping it's better than it appears.

Liking everything else though. I'm glad that we finally get a good look at his shoes, and by golly they are garish. I like that a lot.

Anyway, not a lot new besides some story tidbits. Actually a bit more interested in the Ghost scans, hoping those make it online soon...

Man that's a hideous costume. It's even more cheap looking here than before.

You can always count on Split Lip and Switchbade to jump into a thread with an "I HATE EVERYTHING" mentality. That's not to say I'm in love with it myself, but sheesh guys. You sure are blunt.

Strangely, I'm pretty much 100% okay with the whole chibi thing. I thought I wouldn't like it, but that fact that it's confirmed to be a suit makes things better for me. I've said it before, I like the ideas and achromatic design of the Ex-Aid suit, but the colors on the thing are just impassable for me. I still can not comprehend how "garish" equals "good" to some people.

And you can count on every other Tokunation member to leap in with even blunter idea that any old shit should just be accepted, and that just because someone doesn't like something, they must hate everything. Beautiful, I'm glad we all apparently operate on the level of school children. It never ceases to impress how petty other members are when someone says something negative about a TV show they like.

So like when I was stiffening up over, I dunno, SIC Gaim when news of that hit, was I hating everything back then, too?

Crimeny.

The physical gags those chibi forms could potentially conjure up are what I am looking forward to personally.
It is an acquired taste so I can understand the disdain for it at the moment.
But then again, it is funny to look at which is the only reason I would defend it.

Calm down there soldier, it was just a joke based on generalization. You understand how petty it is that you're even offended by that, right? Pot, meet kettle.

I resent that; I vocally enjoy plenty of things. Check out anything I've had to say about Zyuohger, Ultraman Orb, or Kamen Rider Amazons (after the first couple episodes). I'm just more harsh on Kamen Rider because it's a franchise I really care about and I feel like it's not been living up to its potential recently.

I still plan to give Ex-Aid a fair shot. As far as I know it'll be a really good show. I just think the designs are godawful.

I wonder how they going to fit the suit actor in a Chibi form? I bet they got a midget actor to fit in that suit! Not even Seiji Takaiwa can fit in that Chibi suit! He's too big!

I do too. And that's why I love them.
