Sclash Rider and the Snack Street Boys!

Righty-ho! So, I decided to rewatch this episode to better gauge my feelings on this show after my initial viewing a week prior, and... I think it'll be fun.

I said this exact thing with Gotchard in the early days, and while I really don't expect too much (particularly coming off Geats, which admittedly felt like the most cohesive and consistent Reiwa Rider), but I do believe the ingenuity of Gavv could give it a run for its buckles.

Now, Shouma, I like him. I'm on board with him. He seems like a fun and interesting protagonist this time around. The idea that he can make his own minions, which also give me a strong Heisei Phase 2 vibe with the helper merch, is a nice idea, though I admit I'm not the biggest fan of Belt Voices for this season, but the Gochizous did have some cute moments, like the one crying and the one becoming an angel after it gets eaten, but the utilization of them is probably the highlight for me about this theme's gimmick. The fact that they're consumables (pun intended) kind of gives the idea of a limited supply or time limit, similar to Ultraman, with Gavv and I'm all for that idea! From having to replenish his armor, to using attacks, I hope they play with this formula like the Core Medals, though if it's to the extent of the Chemy Cards, I'd probably still be fine with it.

The villains having the aura of drug dealers feels rather nostalgic like we've gone back to the Dopants and Lock Seed Dealers villains, which is nice after all the "World Ending Doomsday Planners" we've had for a while now (though, much like Gotchard, I don't think that will last), and boy was the action a blast! The chase sequence (enjoy them while they last), the fighting tactics, heck, the opening sequence of Shouma running through the door chamber (which I absolutely thought of Monsters Inc. and Yu-Gi-Oh!'s Millenium Puzzle Room) was a blast! Good stuff!

Now, I'll freely admit, the music, while catchy, is probably not my favorite, even the Opening feels rather plain (much like Gavv's design), not bad, just not something I'd put over the other Reiwa Riders. And as mentioned earlier, I'm not really into the Driver's Voice, but I do think the mechanics are neat, which may just be my Build love flowing through me.

Overall, I think it'll be fun to watch, so I'm sticking with it, will it dethrone Geats, or will it frustrate me like Revice? Only time will tell...

Next Episode: "I will take this Potato Chip and eat it." -Shouma

finally got back to this site after like... half a decade. dived in with zero knowledge aside from MC's full name

went in with Gavv 'cause Gotchard literally killed any of my droplet of interest after that schitty hell flame Valva thingy arc.

So as to what I think of the show:

> Ep 1 is a solid start. Literally good foundations as to our MC, Shouma Stomach... definitely not a pun on Show ma' Stomach that something granutes do with their prehensile gavv tongues.

> I like the Agito reference. Many stuff are fun in the show. The OP theme is not vibing yet with me but it is good nonetheless.

> The action before the close up battle in the container was eh but after that, it really felt like 01 and I got hooked with the fight.

> Henshin Belt Gavv. A first since Faiz where it is not called a driver. It's funny that it is a weird red gavv from the perspective of the enemyy granute. First time listening turned me off but I had to rewatch the scenes again, especially with the Raving minions singing in the ost. That upped my liking of it DRAMATICALLY. Bandai Magic everyone.

> Seems like we have a feisty chara named Karakida. I'm worried if the guy gets betrayed by his "Shishou". We can stupid make a stretched pun here with Shita (tongue) and Oishisou (a phrase to say "it was delicious") combined into Shishou. Feels shady tbh... the guy I mean. He could be a nice guy and it'll be my stupid hunch being inaccurate.

Off to start watching ep 2. See you on the thread.

The BGM is really, really good in Gavv. Both the songs used for the fight and chase scenes are excellent! Really hyped me up and made it even easier to enjoy the show.

So far the general quality of Gavv feels well made to me and I'm looking forward to see what they deliver in the future. Jokes included!
