Watched the Geats VCin compliation over the last couple of days. The Gazer special is fine, a cute 20 minute diversion about a character I have no strong feelings over, classic TTFC exclusive content.
Jyamato Awakening was interesting. Geats' handling of the Jyamato in-show was weird, as it always took a backseat to DGP internal problems and Future Guys, so to revisit it in the final Geats release and try to take it seriously is already an interesting move. I feel it could've used more room to breathe, given its going over similar ground to past VCins (shades of the Humans/Humagears can't co-exist in 01, and that had in-show setup to derive from), but it is nice to see Michinaga complete his character arc into a much less misathropic guy, and the story is still serviceable, if not novel. Action is a good as ever, Dooms Geats was probably unnecessary except to add stakes, overall a solid ender for a show that people get real weird over performatively hating.

Watched Shin Kamen Rider again, this time with subtitles (first time was in a Japanese theater).
The story was a lot more enjoyable for obvious reasons, and while I'm still not really a fan of the anthology-esque approach that this took, I thought it pulled it off much better than Shin Ultraman (which I did not really enjoy). My biggest issue is still the overuse of bad CGI in fight scenes. The Bat, Wasp, Ichimonji, and motorcycle tunnel fights were all really hard to enjoy because it felt like I was watching nothing. The Spider, Chameleon, and Butterfly fights, however, were awesome, and I really wish they took the more practical approach for everything. Overall, I have mixed feelings. There's almost as many things that I didn't enjoy as there are things that I enjoyed, so I'd give it a 6/10, maybe 6.5 My ranking of the Shin films goes: 1. Shin Godzilla 2. Shin Evangelion 3. Shin Kamen Rider 4. Shin Ultraman I'm a bit bummed because Godzilla and Evangelion set the bar really high, so I was stoked to see what they did with Ultraman and Kamen Rider. Unfortunately I found myself disappointed in both. I just didn't enjoy the anthology approach, thought that they felt gimmicky, and didn't enjoy some of the decisions that the production team made.

I am now a little over a quarter through Kamen Rider Hibiki and the show is starting to grow on me.

While not necessarily my favorite pair of first episodes of a Kamen Rider series, I did like it even if it did take some getting used to. Given how Hibiki isn't even originally planned to be a Kamen Rider series in the first place, as far as I'm aware, and how the show itself is very unique in its presentation from what I have seen so far, I'm not entirely sure if I could fairly judge Hibiki in comparison to all of the Kamen Rider seasons that came before it and afterwards, at least among the ones that I have watched in their entirety so far.
