New forms/keys- "Biting Shark" and "Punching Kong."

Not really fond of the way the way the monsters of the week look. They're a bit samey, and kind of simple looking

I kinda hate how every form change of Zero-One is slapped onto the yellow base form, the colors combinations are terrible looking.

If they'd completely remove the yellow in favor of each forms main color it would look a lot better IMO.

Also, I don’t know how the driver works exactly, but you can't insert two keys at the same time, right? With Ex-Aid it makes sense that the armor was worn on top of the base suit as both Gashats were used together, but I don’t see the same thing working with the Zero-One belt.

Or do you get special sounds when you use another key after the hopper one?

It's not great.

I think how it works is that once he transforms into Rising Hopper, the driver opens, revealing the big ring in the middle. It looks like it's still open - so still in the same mode - when the second ProgRise key is scanned by the Driver before being inserted in its slot.

Of course, this logic would fall apart completely if he ever transforms directly into one of the forms other than Rising Hopper. In an ideal world with an unlimited budget, I'm guessing if he turned into Flying Falcon first, then scanned Rising Hopper, the fuchsia would sit behind the yellow/green. As it is, I suspect the show's creators will fudge it.

God Biting Shark looks great. All the forms are lovely looking. Really big fan of the Kaijin too. I don't know how to do quotes so I'll explain this.

He scans the key, folds it out, puts it in. To change forms, take out the first key so repeat process with new one.

I definitely agree. So far, with the exception of the look of the Driver, the aesthetic of the show is doing nothing for me.

Rising Hopper is a great looking base suit IMO, but the rest is definitely average at best. The form changes are ugly, Vulcan and Valkyirie are meh (I think it's the plain design of the helmets which don’t sit well with me) and everything else I've seen from the trailers isn’t that hot either.

I'm glad Zi-O is over because that didn’t do much for me either, but Zero-One really needs to step up in the story and character department for me to care. Because neither the suits nor the gimmicks are all that great so far.

But hey, the first episode isn't even out, it takes time to properly form an opinion; I need to see this stuff in the context of its narrative first.

I think this show is taking a page from Build on how the form changes originated from defeated monsters. Love the Tiger one.

Looking at these more closely, I don't like the triple layered look of Valkyire and Vulcan's helmets.


It also doesn't help that the masks look really plain. Look at all the nice red panel lining on Punching Kong's helmet as it suddenly stops and gets replaced by... just a boring white surface and blue eyes. For me it creates this nagging feeling like there's a more interesting face design hiding underneath the mask.

That doesn't appear to be the case, since so far there is no overlap between the animals the Progrise Keys and Zetsumerise Keys are based on. Also Zero-One's company is the one that makes the keys so I don't think it'd make sense if he had to rely on the villain's stuff to get form changes.
