I like the designs and the fact that represent a major curveball in the battle between the Riders and Undead.

Personality wise, he's kind of like Deneb. Yuuki's design is kinda cool, and tops that raise the dead? Ok? It was nice to see Koutaro visit Ryoutaro after ge got dropped off back in his own time. Speaking of Koutaro/New Den-O who is the blonde haired dude in that movie with the dystopian future where Shocker takes over? I do want the Strike Form figuart though, I like how Teddy is a Gunblade. I don't get why there are suddenly 6 Den-O belts, but whatever. It's always nice to see Seig.

My spoilered response to your comments:
Koutaro started as a dick but he got pretty tolerable pretty quick and Teddy is just awesome all around. And Yuuki was a great villain with a great design, in both forms. As for the multiple Den-O's being on screen at once, that's my favorite moment in rider history. It's not all that farfetched either for owner to have multiple belts. Look at what happened in the first Den-O film, they needed 4 Den-O's at once. He could have created more belts in response to that, seeing as their only option there was time travel shenanigans. The movie itself is my absolute favorite of all the Den-O films and most rider films in general.

Makes sense. Oh yeah I just remembered...speaking of the Owner that scene where he manually operated the Denliner was awesome

Generally anything Owner does is awesome. I'm almost completely convinced that the appearance of the Kikaiders, Inazuman, and Zubat in OOO/Den-O Let's Go is that crazy bastards doing. He must be an Ishinimori fan Also I forgot to mention in my last post that the blonde guy Let's Go is also Kotaro. He just dyed his hair between movies apparently.

So after seven months I have finished Faiz...minus the movie. I'll get to that at some point over the next few days.

First off, I love the suits in Faiz, both the rider and Orphenoch designs are awesome.

And thats really all the praise I have for this series. I swear you could cut it down to 15 maybe 20 episodes tops? I'll sum up my issues with it as quickly as possible. Your characters are supposed to be like real people. People talk to each other, especially close friends, about things. Dramatic irony certainly doesn't work here, its overused and ultimately pointless. Belts go flying everywhere. Look, orphenochs do a cool thing where they embrace their animal side a bit more an become a centaur or rhino hybrid... oh no just those two do that. Kusaka, whilst having one of the most grim (?) deaths I have seen on a Kamen rider show, was a complete and utter (insert strongest obscenity of your choice). And was one for seemingly no reason. There are so many pointless plot threads that ultimately get dropped that its unreal. And that ending, what the heck?

I could probably go on, but I wont.

So yeah, overall it's the worst series I have watched. It's painfully slow, dull and at times nonsensical.

Current list is:
Fourze
Ryuki
W
Kiva
Den-O
OOO
Kabuto
Decade
Faiz

oh I'm sure since he said "Kamen Riders aren't the only one who fight for justice" I'm paraphrasing, I don't remember the exact line. And oh ok

Faiz is a huge mess, yeah. It's so weird to think that the guy that wrote it is the same guy who did Jetman and Agito. Even Kiva, which I am not a fan of, generally is much better than Faiz. There's too much over the top melodrama, too many plot holes, and too many places where the characters are clearly being manipulated by the writers into making their current situation worse for no clear reason. The designs really are great, though.

[SideswipePrime]

I actually don't like a lot of the Faiz deigns, so I should probably never watch it.

[Matrixbeast]

I'm just never watching it.
I pushed better series onto the tracks for less. And I hate melodrama.

[RiderSkyward]

It'd be a bit more passable if it had any sort of emotional pay off, but it doesn't. Well not for me at least. I just felt myself going, well it's about time or well that was pointless..

@switch, am I right in assuming the movie isn't canonical to the series? And I should abandon any hope of proper closure to the series?
