Ooooh yeah that reminds me I wanna buy his SHF next.Mashin Chaser has one of the best designs in rider:
Although I gotta be careful because one I saw on Amazon appeared to be it but it was actually just the parts sold seperately to turn him into that mode where he has the Roidmude parts equipped. Same price even as the base figure.
Drive Super Deadheat is pretty much Machine Chase but better. It's one of the rare times the repaint works even better than the original.Mashin Chaser has one of the best designs in rider:

Yeah I heard it gets good/better despite an ok start
(Shift Cars being sentient was so dumb)
The best change in the middle is dropping the stupid secret identity element which made no sense.
Tomato was driving the same car as Drive lol.
Drive is a series I want to get around to eventually and was initially pretty intetested in with the W team and all, but yeah, coming off Gaim I was completely turned off by Drive's beginning going straight back to the prior years' business as usual.
Except the couple of designs where they literally pissed on better ones.
What a weird thing to be putting out now before the whole team actually forms in the main show
Man Reika has been kind of a dull character so far (I think her actress is new to acting as primarily she's a model?) but Sabela is a highlight for me. Awesome little theme music, cool choreography, and a banging transformation jingle.
I'm pretty sure her sword is one of like two female voiced transformation devices in Rider? Besides like Tokimeki Crisis, though that was a gimmick item as opposed to the transformation device, and uh that Alternate Rider's belt in Ryuki.

Since unlike Gokaiger, where the past heroes were depowered but still roamed the world, and the Gokaiger's main goal involved hunting them down to get their powers, I don't think we will get many cameos in Zenkaiger. At least, it would seem convoluted to have them appear with the current premise.
Isn't the premise that the worlds are trapped in gears, but as they destroy those gears the worlds are freed?
I might have completely missed the point of the mushroom gear, though.
As for Saber, as others have said the last episode was really good with the whole Edge of Tomorrow/Moira Mactaggert concept and stuff finally moving.
Saber 27
So. This episode writing and editing was really, really bad. Cliche after cliché, editing worty of an early 2000s AMV. But man, things are happening. Exciting things are happening. There are some mindfucks there that, really, kinda make me excited for the future of Saber?
So yeah. Saber has the potential not to be great, but at least to be uneven from good to bad, like most pre-Decade series.

I hadn't seen the 50th Anniversary logo - the rider eyes in it look so good!
Honestly, them shooting the henchman ahead of time is great.
I really liked the scene with Touma and the kid, actually did a good job integrating his role as a writer there.
I feel like the Megid being human was obvious since the beginning but it was kind of weird how a few episodes ago they just quickly confirmed it and now one's dead lol. Also he got flowers so no further flashbacks with him which seems lame.

I feel like the suit actors and voice actors being professionals already greatly improved the scenes it felt like cheating. Every movements and voices are full of energy, and their lack of expressions are compensated by body movements to the point I felt their scenes won't work if they were human. No offense to the usual budding actors and actresses who are just trying their best, but this is a different level. They're basically a less gimmicky Imajin at this point.
It's certainly not impossible, but given how Toku got Agito after Shout had the other series I really have no idea what the hell is going on, and then there's Toei releasing a few episodes of series on their own YT channel.
The few episodes were for the Olympics/anniversary, right?
I wonder if Amazons being pulled from Prime is an indicator of anything, or just coincidence?
Saber
This is pretty much the best thing Touma has ever done in the entire series. The build up to this moment is awkward as usual, but that moment with the kid encapsulates what Kamen Rider is about, giving hope in a hopeless situation. The villain situation is... well the sooner we get rid of Megids the better. Those three guys have barely any character in them and even with one dead nothing is missing. Sucks because the actors seemed to have fun playing them.
The plot is moving but it also means the story is very busy. It's the complete opposite of Zero-One at the exact same point, whereas in Zero-One we're still iin the middle of Hiden vs Zaia bouts. It's moving forward with little breathing room for character moments.

"Primitive (Wait for it) Dragon!" is probably my favorite transformation announcement since "Pu-To-Tyrannosaurus!".
Here is some unusual Toku:

Vulcan and Valkyrie are getting a V-Cinema, direct sequel to the MJ.net one.

Valkyrie is getting an actual upgraded form called Justice Serval based on a Serval... Tiger? There's no such thing as a Serval Tiger, but based on some comments I've read there might be issues with the "sabertooth tiger" name in Japan being trademarked, which is probably why recently Bandai has had a "Tigersaurus" in Ryusoulger and now this "Serval Tiger".
It's just a modified Hornet suit, but it looks great, especially compared to the new forms in the previous one.

It's apparently only going to be 3 episodes, but it sounds really neat.
Yeah, but the real animal is just Serval or "Serval cat", not "Serval Tiger". It doesn't have two large fangs either. On the other hand, the dots on the helmet actually seem Serval inspired so the name isn't completely off.

Kamen Rider OOO
Of the three Rider series I've watched from beginning to end, Den-O's still my number one, but OOO is one hell of a close second. Eiji and Ankh's relationship was one of the biggest highlights, having a much different--but still extremely fun--dynamic from Ryotaro and the Taros or Shotaro and Philip. The Greeed are probably my favourite villains so far, and I look forward to seeing if any of the other shows' secondary Riders are as loveable as Date.
I also think that OOO's transformations are all my favourites to date, especially PU! TO! TYRA! Great designs all around for this one.
