The part where saving civilians also counts towards the Rider's points sort of reminds the hero system in Tiger and Bunny, which I really enjoyed.
I'm also interested in how Ukiyo appears to be our first protag in Reiwa that actively signed up to be a rider from the very beginning. Aruto, Touma, and Ikki all sort of fell into the role and agreed to do it after a little convincing (although to be fair, Touma did want to be a rider when he found out he could), but based on the premise Ukiyo seemingly joins the moment the DGP is a thing. Edit: I also just noticed something from the new images, it seems the armor on his left arm flips out to reveal... another gun! Last edited by Pineapple924; 07-21-2022 at 08:11 PM.. |

So idea is that Geats can transform into his bike? Hence the bottom half of his design? I'm kind of wondering how that's going to work. If they're going to be fighting in a virtual world I wonder if that means more bike scenes...then again, Saber fooled me too.
Also, if this is going to be like a game/competition...what exactly is going on? Are people willingly getting roped into getting attacked by monsters or is it something that's being forced on the world to participate in? I'm guessing the Kaijin are going to be like the Magia and just generically attacking humans with probably villainous Riders behind everything like you'd expect from a Takahashi show. |

Not gonna lie, the way the system is presented it feels like Tiger and Bunny almost.
Where people just sign up to be superheroes and the entire thing is a monopolized sport where there's like popularity polls and points and stuff. |

I really like the suit, and the story seems interesting, but I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch. Both Takahashi and Inoue are mixed bags to me in terms of working on Rider seasons I've really liked. I really enjoyed Zero-One, but Ex-Aid not so much. OOO is one of my favorites, but I'm meh on Gaim and Kiva at best.
So really, Geats could land anywhere between a spot on my top 5 Rider series, and "yeah it's alright I guess." Last edited by StardustWhip; 07-21-2022 at 09:45 PM.. |

(He's also been known to "borrow" ideas from anime he likes so yeah i wouldn't be shocked if we can spot some less than subtle influences on this show) Last edited by TheJaz; 07-21-2022 at 09:25 PM.. |

Y'all, I love fox boy here. I love an overdesigned Rider too, but seeing how crisp and clean Geats's design is just really delights me. Great colors, super slick, and the fox theme looks great! As some people have already said, Takahashi is a somewhat divisive writer, but I personally am a big fan and have already said I wouldn't mind having him back for a third time! After this I could stand to have a long break from him, but I'm up for one last dance! I think he does some excellent drama and character writing and I consider both Ex-Aid and Zero-One some A tier shows! I also understand how some people are a bit wary of the whole Grand Prix setting, but at the same time it actually sounds like it could be spun in a very refreshing way this time, with more of a focus on "gamifying" it for lack of a better term.
I dunno, I'm liking what I'm seeing so far! I'll probably watch this one live.
