this is pretty good so far! was worried for a while because it starts pretty tediously, but i think on my third go round of this i've learned to just accept the first 3-4 episodes of a kamen rider are always going to be an uneven mess because they have to show all the toy stuff. all the riders are a good time, especially once the show finally manouvres them into their not-quite-aligned relationship. i'm wondering if the season is going to deliver on what it's been building up to for like twelve episodes, i know it's not as Big Concept as build but i can hope!
i'm also wondering if the show is going to continue having completely given up on the concept of "having an opening sequence" but still having the play the song in increasingly awkward spots every episode for presumably contractual reasons
