Compared to I have to agree that the bust of the new rider looks pretty cool. In fact compared to the last 5 series it

I'd prefer most if not all Toku series to be just 20 or less episodes. There's only really 12-18 eps worth of good story in any given show and the rest is filler. There are a few exceptions but not many.

I'm not crazy about the duel and ever changing colored sides. But I like the simplicity of the overall silhouette and the eyes aren't stupid huge with pointy things on them. Very KR Black, as Hastur said.

I thought the latest series showed some promise when I saw the first episode, but was hopelessly disappointed by the third ep. Seems to be a trend as I haven't finished a Rider series since Blade. It'll be interesting to see what they do with this one.


EDIT: Sorry for the superhuge image, this should work better.

Kiva wasn't absolutely terrible but it was pretty freaking boring and the ending was completely awful. :|

Double looks cool but I have a hard time giving a damn for KR after the past couple of years.

A lot of what's turned me off is the style of the suits in recent years. The themes are just so painfully obvious, or the actual design is just too flashy. Granted, Kabuto's rider designs were pretty excellent I thought.

These hit the right spot as far as flash and retro is concerned, so hopefully they go for that same sort of feel for the whole series.

I'd also like to see a more plot driven adventure, akin to Agito or Faiz or even Blade.

BTW, just you do know Elliot, I did download all of Nihon's episodes to Hibiki recently, as I am going to give the series another try since I did like the Decade episodes featuring Hibiki.
