My problem with it is that I tend to associate this trope mostly with Toshiki Inoue shows, where it was rarely used well and mostly just got dragged out for the melodrama.

Still not a fan of the new main rider exaggerating acting style like a lot of recent red. I might say i prefer the shy insecure or confident yet cool rider instead of haruto bad pun that get lost in translation. The comedian aspect is a bit meh the way they execute it. I guess we will see more and more corrupts android get murder every week good or bad to begin with. Are we going to assume this take place in far future with Ai tech or like gobusters somehow it's still 2012.

So did they just rebuild Mamoru at the end? I thought that if the humagear get hacked it can't be turned back and have to be destroyed?

It was a new, different robot as far as I could tell. He had the little 'new driver' sticker on his ears which indicated to me that this was a brand-new unit that just looked like the old one.

Why couldn't Fuwa be the MC of the show. I mean not only did he forcefully open his card (which is like trying to force open the top of a closed padlock with your hands), but he defeated a Magia with a broken arm.
As much as I like that moment and the action (which is more fluid and dynamic than previous seasons), I thought it was just safe and standard. BTW, the main rider is a pain in the ass. |

A jump to the sky..

It's interesting that you provide Wizard as a comparison, because that was exactly my feeling as well.
I personally feel this is a little bit of Ex-Aid (naturally), mixed with W, and a bit of Wizard thrown in for good measure. Henshin/Suits: I waited for the second episode before commenting. Totally worth it. I love the new suits. Zero-One's henshin and suit are stunning. The driver and henshin sounds are something that keep sticking with me because they are not grating like Zi-O or Ghost. "A jump to the sky leads to a rider kick"? MAGIC. Vulcan's suit is really one of the better secondary riders, but his Henshin? Maybe it's just me watching Kiva so recently, but I get such an Ixa vibe off of it, and I can't like it enough. It's a back to basics for the forms, and that's just right to me in a way I can't define. My only downside would be that the driver doesn't actually do anything. I'm so used to last seasons spinning and whirling. I'll get over it. Action: Just....wow. Yep, the budget was thrown in on this. I hope like the rest of you that they can keep some of the elements in place because the choreography, even down to the actual RIDING A BIKE sticks around. Ex-Aid did a lot of the same in the beginning, and then we got foam. Lots of foam. The finishers? I'm going to be making animated gifs for that. They're so extra it is the perfect addition to a new Rider era. The Roidmud....I mean Humagears are obviously a straight up way to deliver a menace of the week. But it's the fact that Aruto's grandfather had this dream to create something to help humanity and now it's being twisted that's going to have the bigger influence. Again, the W vibe really hits with the tone. Main character: Aruto is a comedian in the same way that Wizard never did a magic show. He's terribly bad at it. But if you ever wanted proof that Kamen Rider shows are made for everyone watching? That Izu literally spells out the joke every time. I don't think he's annoying, more so I think the whole reason for being a comedian is already being pushed aside. Sure he'll have his moments, but eh, if that's the worst this new era can throw at us so far, Ill be fine. Secondary Characters: I heart Izu. Isamu is Ixa 2.0. And what's this? Finally a third rider that is a female AND might stick around? YES. All the yes. Villains: Horobi is still just background. But Jin? HOLY SCHNIKES. That first episode is thug level. MORE....I NEED MORE.... I'm really looking forward to this entire season if it can keep the energy up.

Zero One is 2 for 2 so far. Another great episode. Great job at creating a parallel between Aruto and Isamu. Both affected by the same tragedy but their motivations from it are completely opposite to one another. Awesome camera work and action scenes. Loving this series so far.
EDIT: Imma shamefully shill my full review for it. No shame, heh: https://youtu.be/ZfQ1RZjkRfg Last edited by KRWolfblade; 09-09-2019 at 04:05 PM.. |

I kind of want to post my thoughts here but, like, what can I actually say? Everyone's already covered it. Really good action, really good directing, story and characters seem to be going in a nice direction... yeah. S'good.
Something about the first episode didn't -quite- grab me - I'm not sure why; I think it might have been discomfort about the kaijin setup - but this episode has really got me into it. Looking forward to what comes next! |

Has Aruto solved the problem of destroyed corrupt HumaGears by actually downloading their last recording during uncorrupted phase into new HumaGears?
Also why Fuwa's arm is broken? |
