Just did, I like them!
They fixed a lot of issues I had with the subs I saw before. Interestingly enough, they didn't translate "Ne-chan" as "Sis" either, they wrote her name. I liked their work though; I think I'm down for Excite Subs this year. |

I guess I'm the only one here who was not feeling this first episode at all. I dunno, maybe I've just been burned by the last few years. Knowing this will probably be the last time we will ever see Geats' bike, or the fact that we're going to be drowning in dozens of forms by episode 20.
Reiwa era Riders so far have really not impressed me that much outside of the first few episodes of Zero-One, and that show's momentum collapsed before the halfway mark. Geats, from what I can tell, doesn't look to be changing that trend. Toshihiko Sahashi's music, which is almost always a highlight of any series he's attached to, sounds rather muted from what I've heard so far. And the most interesting character of the lot was killed off before our main Rider even made his appearance. I'll be surprised if I manage to stick with this weekly. |

I'm not gonna tell you you're wrong to not be excited for this, but I feel it's worth noting that Geats already had 4 forms shown off in the first episode counting the Entry form even though it doesn't really feel that way, especially as there's multiple Riders with the alternative forms being designed to easily work with the entire cast

Well it's only one example of Sento's I mentioned, not all. Tendou is no murderer, but he'd be usually more inclined to be merciless and make cruel decisions without much thought, though regarding Worms they're mostly threats. The outcome may be the same to characters who resort into killing monsters, but how someone behaves makes the difference too (e.g. thirst for revenge targeted at bad guys vs stopping bad guys from causing harm). Him showing some hesitation like when killing Tsurugi is more of a rare occurrence by comparison.

Haha, yeah, it's a really shallow bandwagon though. Spreading hate on the internet is such a waste of energy, especially when it's aimed at a genuine article like Neon who hasn't done anything wrong to deserve it. Maybe Keiwa's just envious of her position, since she probably has money, power and connections that could be used to further his vague ideal of world peace. But instead Neon doesn't want any of it, only to focus on bringing happiness to her fans, which makes her more successful than Keiwa. Neon's ambition is small, but that's what makes it more attainable.

I like Keiwa. I knew he was going to say World Peace right when they asked him that question. But I like how he's Haruka/OniSister and Tsuyoshi/KijiBrother in one, I'm interested in seeing more of the other characters, but I liked the Polar Bear guy for what little we saw of him.

Oh hang on I think the storyline's obvious here. If the DGP lasts 6 months every time then I have a feeling Geats has just kept winning because it's fun, wanting to reset the game every time which maybe resets deaths of other participants. Then somewhere around the halfway point of the show, someone else wins and decides to make a killing game out of the deal. Maybe Takahashi'll surprise me but that feels the most obvious

I'm not sure he won many times. Buffa was rather dismissive of his being late for the mission, and if Ace was a multiple champion, then Buffa would certainly have suspected a trick. Though it's also possible that this was first season for purple rider and Geats simply chose not to announce his status.

Neon is wealthy, and not agreeing but it seems that getting wealthy by itself is seen as doing something wrong, as it's seen as perpetuating social inequality and absorbing money from those who actually need it, doesn't matter if they're aware or not. And someone with privilege seems to be prohibited to complain about anything (of which Neon wanting a normal life can count), because they are seen as not being 'grateful' to what they already have that many others work and sought for. Though regarding Keiwa, I have some relation in his disinterest to rich girl's daily activities, like why putting well-known rich public figures on pedestal, they're all humans too, should be viewed equal.

But yeah, someone's probably going to become the new God of Desire in 6 months. The new world could be a killing game (created by yet another monochrome bear) as you predict, or Tycoon could win and wish for "world peace", which will go badly wrong.

Haven't got a chance to watch yet, but I'm hoping tycoon and geats form a close primary and secondary rider bound. It's been a bit since we got one of those last one was Geats and Zi-O I feel like.
