I wonder if we're gonna be able to find an OOO vibe somewhere~

I kinda get a vague Ore Journal vibe with the police headquarters as well.

Well, this was a step up from episode 1, I thought. I liked our hero using his head to figure out the mystery, and seeing the head baddies was nice. I don't like that we don't have any idea what the motivation of the bad guys are yet, though. And overall the lighter tone will take some getting used to as I tend to like more serious KR shows. The fact that there is a specific number of enemies reminds me of the old show Brimstone, heh.

The Shift Cars are neat; will have to resist buying them! I love 1/64 cars, so that will be tough!

This ep was good enough to get me to keep watching for a bit.

The bad guys motive is to find the ultimate body, to copy its data, and to evolve into the ultimate lifeform (for now).

Pretty cool. Expanding more on Shinnosuke's character through his chat with his injured friend Hayase. Interesting stuff. And I loved that Shinnosuke actually did detective work. The car chase was pretty awesome (though the CGI was overdone towards the end) and the action itself was solid. Loved that he has a Rider punch.

Also, the villains seem very intriguing.

I also could see drive making the Kiva pose.

I liked the episode quite a bit, so far I like the mood its set. Not a big fan of Justice Hunter, but that finisher was pretty sweet.
