The poster doesn't say that Shoichi will transform into Agito, so the movie doesn't need to show Shoichi transforming into Agito.
It only implies that Shoichi is related to Agito, and that Shoichi and Agito might appear in the movie.
Shoichi and Agito only need to appear briefly. A flashback, reused old footage, or even a photo of Shoichi and a photo of Agito is enough.

The complaint with the ethics committee about Decade wasn't even due to the trailer being off anyway, it was because the trailer right after a cliffhanger, replacing the next episode preview, made it feel like the series was incomplete and just an advertisement for the movie.
Toei's defense was that Decade was a complete work where the end led to the beginning in the first episode (and you can see the rerun cut of the final episode did just that).
If anything those complaints might have played a role in them not even trying to match the fake trailer and what it promised.

Just like playing trails of cold steel taught me japanese people like writing tiny tina from broderlands, revice taught me japanese people also like writing deadpool.
Funniest joke was in the final episode where vice was forced to go away thanks to memory loss and then his ghost appears for a joke where he points out he'll just return in the next movie. Ending the series on a 4th wall joke about how the sad ending doesn't mean shit takes some guts.
>>
>>23809458
But he does disappear in the movie, too. It is somewhat implied that while he can potentially return, it will always be some kind of temporary miracle. But for now, Vice is gone for good. Vice will never be constantly by Ikki's side the same way Lovekov and Kagerou are.

That is precisely the problem now, isn't it? The last two secondaries only got a single upgrade which is also their final forms in their shows. Nox now makes three. Toei can't afford to make extra forms anymore with the show's ballooning budget, but it is still sad to see.

...huh? Are you genuinely retarded? Majade got an alt form with Moon Cerberus before she got her final form with Twilight Majade. Valen got Doumaru as an alt form, Bushel acting as an upgrade to keep up with Caking, and had an arc focused on Chocodon before getting to his final form as Frappe Custom. So what you said is completely wrong.
>Toei can't afford to make extra forms anymore with the show's ballooning budget, but it is still sad to see.
I don't even know what you're arguing at this point, because Majade and Valen did get at least one alt form before their final forms. Whether it's a little lame and whether you like it or not, Gun Shadow and Wolf Shadow are considered forms for Nox. So even if it's lazy, he's still objectively getting two alt forms before his final form.

>That is precisely the problem now, isn't it? The last two secondaries only got a single upgrade which is also their final forms in their shows
Most secondaries in the Heisei era only had their base form and their final form, that's even if they're lucky. They were even luckier if they had another form before the final form. Some secondaries didn't even have final forms like Kaixa until years later, Ibuki still doesn't even have one. Compared to early Heisei, the Reiwa era has been pretty generous with secondaries giving all of them final forms and at least one form change before the final. So I don't know why you're saying it's a "problem now" when it was rare for a secondary to even have other forms than the final form (if they even got one) in the Heisei era.
>>
>>
>>23809742
All of that was before the amount of toys started increasing dramatically circa Gaim, Reiwa shows have late Heisei amounts of toys. And you conveniently left out how Faiz and Hibiki only had two additional forms instead of dozens like more recent Riders.
>>
On the topic of toys, I wish they distribute side forms more evenly between primary and secondary/tertiary riders. It always feels too much in terms of ratio when the lead keeps getting most of the stuff. Like a power imbalance. Heck, look at Nox. Just two forms and just new weapons as the 'side forms'.

This is pretty standard at this point. And Nox only getting weapons is technically in line with what Zeztz is getting for his side forms. Each Capsem colour gets you a single suit and two weapons, after all. Wing and Transform are considered two Forms even though they only give Zeztz new weapons

Those are officially forms of the same Rider. The belt doesn't matter because under your logic we would have to consider Ghost Grateful a different Rider from Ghost, and Zi-O and Geiz to be the same Rider.
What matters are the official designations, and Proto-Birth is officially a separate Rider from Birth.

nta but Proto Birth isn't an upgrade but rather a weaker version of Birth used by Date to serve as tertiary, in execution it's closer to something like G3 Mild despite Goto using it occasionally
Like in vidya you don't really see Proto Birth being treated as another form like Lord Baron or G3-X but rather as a separate entity, I get why this is confusing for you since Takebe just really doesn't give a fuck about toys which is why we have situations like Baron's and Birth's in the first place

>>23810003
NTA but they're really inconsistent with that, its like how Toei and Bandai have diffent designations for secondaries/tertiaries. Ganbaride and its variants treats them as the same Rider occasionally while the Generations/Revolution games and the S.I.C. novels treat them as separate

Yes, because Otome was hidden in Kuniteru Emoto's name, and every Horoscope had their Horoscope identity hidden somewhere in their civilian name, initially by basic kana anagrams, or in this case using romaji and reversing it and then back to kana. Some where more obvious than others. They gradually became more and more obscure though.

Most of his forms require him to have a heart-to-heart with the Chemys, Houtaro does a lot of form spam, and even later on with Platina Gotchard he consistently mixes and matches random Chemies for attacks. Compared to other "All your powers combined" forms like Fourze Cosmic States or Build Genius, it's really impressive. And that's good enough for me.

I think it's a bizarre choice. The whole conflict of the movie is about Agitos being spread around like feared in the show and how they could come in conflict with humanity, and yet this same movie is saying being an Agito is just a "phase" and after a while it fades away?
Like, the new Agitos aren't even teens or anything, so there isn't some kind of youth vs adults conflict being set up either. It really feels like just a clumsy way to write him off since G7's actor is the biggest one in the cast nowadays.

That's probably why I think this while Gil Agito is so uninteresting. They definitely could've had that new generation outcast conflict with the new Agitos like you said, but they're just weird adult criminals. I feel like they could've even done a simple Hikawa/Shouichi inspiring a new good Agito instead of just having all the Agitos be monsters. Kinda makes it feel like we just happened to get lucky that Shouichi was Agito and the others were psychos or too weak.

Salary. They can come back sometimes like Ryotaro and Kouta coming back for crossover cameos, but most of the time they're just difficult to get a hold of. Philip also mentioned that he would have cameo'd in Zi-O if he could, but he was literally booked for the next two years
>>
>>23810182
Depends on the agency, Shinnosuke's actor is Japan's Male Sweetheart and came back whenever he could before he got a bit too big and wanting to continue his streak of projects. Phillip's actor has been vocal about being a-okay with coming back but last time we're aware they tried he was booked for 2 years in advance. Timelines have to add up for actors to come back if they're actively working on other projects. Meanwhile Gentarou and Ryotaro's actors have agencies that basically tell em no, it was an insane stroke of luck we got them in Heisei Gens Final and Forever respectively.

I know that most of the agencies don't particularly care outside of the domestic market but I still find it amusing they make toku NG for the actors out of a perceived lack of prestige when Japanese actors known for toku are more world famous.

Hell even then you can tell Gentaro's scenes are filmed in just a day, and Ryutaro probably two hours at most. Like how Jun Shishon only had to voice act but he requested to have a short scene so they had to rush to film his untransformed cameo.

From what we've seen, Three seems pretty capable in general as an agent and fighter. We've only seen him fight a weakened Baku in Physicam Impact, but he's pretty clever utilizing Clear and attacking weak spots directly. Five and Six seem to put up a decent fight against Zeztz and Nox, so I imagine Three being stronger will be more than capable. His upgrade should be Booster that's tailored to him, which should put him on par by Orderem and Dawn by then.
I don't know whether he'll face Zeztz and Dawn at the same time, but them teaming up I imagine will be his down fall. Kind of a classic Takahashi thing to do, teaming up against a common enemy.

There's the issue of the moon though. They never showed the real moon during the "dream" in the first half of the show, but quickly showed the moon when Baku woke up this time to settle that this is the real world.
Then again, I guess we don't see the moon most of the time in Rider anyway so they could move the deadline ahead with another reset. But I'd guess it could only happen after something similar (Baku knocked out of commission for a while somehow).

Most of those shows are over a decade old. The half assed upgrade they gave Mach at the end is still an upgrade. Specter was an exception surrounded by secondaries that got multiple upgrades. You can obviously see the amount of secondary upgrades ballooning over the years and now that the balloon has popped, we've returned to early heisei amounts.

For me it's Touma>Shouma>Baku. The main things that drag Baku down a bit for me are that he doesn't really have a compelling or fun relationship with anyone other than Minami, that his "lonely hero" angle hinges more on the other people in his group being incompetent rather than there being some tangible distance between them (which is why I think Gavv did this kind of thing much better), that he took a long while to get interesting again due to how most of the first half was handled, and that I wish at least one of his big failures from the first half had stuck instead of having them all undone right away. But his actor's pretty good and the show has fleshed his character out pretty well (though it comes at the expense of everyone else), so I still consider him a good protag.

He's surprisingly popular, he's gotten a lot of drama and stage show work and does a lot of event work in and outside japan.

Geats had a very strong start that was unanimously praised back in the day, then some complaints started to pop up around the end of Q1, a significant amount of people had complaints about Q2 (specifically the DezaStar arc), I don't think there's anyone who actually likes the Desire Royale arc in the 30s even if they don't hold strong opinions about it, and even some people who say they liked the show claim that the last 10 episodes or so are ass, but there's also people who like the last stretch even if they don't think it was as solid as the rest of the show.

Still a good place to get your career started since Kamen Rider is a big established franchise in Japan. And the fact that it's 50 episodes long means that most actors will have a lot of material to show off their range. Especially since every major character is obligated to have at least one suffering scene and one hopeful speech on top of their usual character personality

I'm glad at least that Zeztz doesn't seem to be a complete failure, I like Yanaka as a producer with the exception of his toy design so I would like him to make another show instead of getting demoted, that is as long as his show releases after one that sold really well to mitigate the damage which I guess means that I want him to stay away from Project R.E.D or Sentai if it ends up returning a decade from now if Toei isn't financially strained by that time

We only have reports for its first quarter not the whole show, but it will probably be the worst selling Reiwa season by the end unless it's able to pull a miracle like Rainbow Gotchard helping sales near the end, thus why I said

They don't, it and Gotchard are the least popular Reiwa shows. Saber was one of the least voted shows on the big NHK poll they held back when it ended. It's one of the Rider shows with the lowest scores on their usual review sites.

Two reasons I brought up teens there.
Like I said, in Agito itself there was this talk at the end about more Agitos emerging in the future and clashing with humanity. Obviously that conflict only makes sense if it were a general thing. Most Akatsuki survivors are even dead by that point too, so they obviously weren't talking about them.
The other reason is this whole plot with Shouichi's powers vanishing, so they could have gone with a "only the youth are Agito", although they don't seem to be doing that either.

>>
>>23811390
I don't think I would consider Five and Six villains at all, they're kinda just doing their jobs and constantly questioning CODE at times. They're basically like the swordsmen during the traitor arc.
Zero and Three though, absolutely.

>>23811390
For me the Megido are the best villain faction which sucks because aside from Storius, Dezast and Logos the rest are shafted despite still being fun
The Granute are the best motw for me which ironically Gavv has the worst villain faction
The Ark I'd say is the bets antagonist of Reiwa so far

>>23811390
I'd say most of them are shit aside from the villains in Saber, which is less an endorsement of Saber and more just how badly all the other shows fumbled not just the villains, but the entire story including the protags.

Why is Sasword's Masked Form so aesthetically different from the other Riders? It barely adds any extra armor and it's mostly those orange cables. He doesn't even have a ZECT logo anywhere.
>>
>>23811643
According to the pixiv fan wiki, apparently on the initial design phase Sasword was meant to be one of the earliest Riders created and actively working on the Worm side against the humans as one of the top commanders. Apparently they rewrote his character after casting to better highlight his actor's strengths.

I did genuinely enjoy Gavv a lot and it reminded me of how I felt enjoying Build which was a nice feeling and while a lot of people hate it I actually enjoyed Saber, I'm glad I do because Zero-One was frustrating and Revice just pissed me off so it did give me that "Reiwa kinda sucks" mindset. Objectively, Reiwa overall does feel like a bit of a downgrade after the Heisei era even with Gavv and me enjoying Saber though. But honestly, I think I'm just more grateful that there still are shows I do end up enjoying because I did not like Revice, Geats, or Gotchard (some stuff I liked of course, but overall no).
Even now with Zeztz it's kinda weird, the first half is genuinely so boring and actually frustrating to watch. The characters had no chemistry or real purpose, everything was vague especially with Nox's poetry sessions, and the victim of the week shit sucked when the show itself was already boring. But from the point Catastrom debuted, I've actually felt invested and I don't have that same frustration I had from Part 1. Like I feel excited for each new episode and I like the developments, so I'm also glad that I can enjoy Zeztz because I was very close to just hating and dropping it. It's sad but I do think Reiwa has made me feel more concerned about whether I'm gonna like a show more than I ever did with the Heisei era. I mean the worst it got in my opinion was like Ghost and the shows before and after that were bangers, so I didn't really feel concerned about the next show being unenjoyable until it got into the Reiwa era.
>>
>>23811886

With Zero-One most people say it's slightly above average, thus good
With Saber it used to be divisive but these days nearly every single time it's discussed people talk about how great the show is aside from Q1, the anon that keeps spamming about how the show is the worst thing ever or how it's the second coming of christ doesn't count. At worst I see anons talking about how it's not worth finishing it because a whole quarter of shit is still a lot or ranking it about the same as Zero-One because how many elements feel half-baked due to emotional setups being cut then reporpused for Swordsmen Chronicle or how it's extremely evident that some of the riders were originally intended to die or actors had conflicting schedules due how many characters don't get enough screen time to be properly developed
Geats is the most 7/10 show in the franchise, basically not offensive enough to be shit but stylish enough for normalfags to latch on to it, basically if you've seen more than one Kamen Rider season you'll find unimpressive but if it's your first you'll probably be glazing it, thus grat
Most anons from what I saw seemed to enjoy the show except the last episode because even with the retarded villain faction and the mistreatment of Hanto everything around the show made the show fun. A show can be amazing without being top-tier look at something like 555 or W, although the former used to be really hated before the opinion of it changing overtime
I'll admit to being a newfag that despite having started watching Rider since 2009 only started using social media and specifically 4chan from Build onward, never saw the point of social media until I got desperate about discussing toku since I only know two people irl that watch them
>>
>>23811900
Forgot to explain Zi-O, I would see about half of anons claiming it's the worst Kamen Rider show ever made and another half saying it's a dumb fun show that was consistently hilarious throughout most of its run, although thinking about it I might have misinterpreted the latter as a compliment
>>
>>23811895
It's because the new generation of producers. In early Heisei you had Shirakura, Takatera, Tsukada and Hikasa who were trained by overtly competent Showa producers but were also rebels willing to experiment. But then when it came to those 4 training the next generation they just focused on the being experimental and rebellious part and not the managing part. It's why nearly every producer in the 10s got demoted and basically only Omori remained by the end, right now the producer situation at Toei is unstable, while most of them are creative they just don't properly know how to manage all aspects of a show as well as the ones from early Heisei or Omori.
>>
>>23811902
Zi-O was basically written on the fly to accommodate whatever guest character they can get for that episode. I can understand it being terribly written since it's hard to plan out a show that way.
Though, Sougo and Ouma Zi-O were really undercooked. We never really got to see what led to the original Sougo becoming Ouma Zi-O (besides a very late retcon of him "Not wanting to let go of the Heisei era") and Sougo himself never really showed any potential evil that would justify Geiz wanting to kill him
>>
>>
>>23811913
>Sougo himself never really showed any potential evil that would justify Geiz wanting to kill him
He would continuously see people as subjects which proved to be a dangerous mindset in the OOO case, was basically disarming every Kamen Rider whenever he obtained a ride watch and had the power to reshape the future with Zi-O 2
Not that this matter much since everything else in your point is correct and still stands then on top of that you have stuff like Kamen Rider Tsukuyomi getting delayed, the Woz retcon and Tasaki removing the scene that explained the backstories of Uru and Ora due to "pacing"

Geats is so interesting to me, because after Q1 I just thought it was all so boring and kinda frustrating at points. But it's like the best Reiwa season in Japan and even the dark Keiwa arc that most people hated was like the best part of the show for people. I do think the aesthetics and the battle royale game setting are great, but I didn't think it would save the show that much.

>a whole quarter of shit
Let's be honest, not every episode was bad, just like how the Job Arc actually had one or two decent 2-parters or how we currently have people who actually enjoyed parts of early Gotchard.
>how it's extremely evident that some of the riders were originally intended to die
This was apparently a decision they made early on since they said it was to keep things lighthearted given the state of the world at the time, and it shows since the less important Riders still get dedicated arcs past the first quarter and they actually get to do something at the end unlike, say, Revice's auxiliary Riders.
>A show can be amazing without being top-tier look at something like 555 or W
W is objectively top tier though, it's one of the most beloved shows by far.
>Forgot to explain Zi-O, I would see about half of anons claiming it's the worst Kamen Rider show ever made
Just one anon, the same schizoid who can't stop shitposting about the Reiwa shows (mainly Saber and whatever's currently airing).

>He would continuously see people as subjects which proved to be a dangerous mindset in the OOO case
That's sort of my issue, though. That was the only time Sougo showed any potential in being an evil king. Every other time, he's a genuinely good kid
>was basically disarming every Kamen Rider whenever he obtained a ride watch
Didn't really lead to any consequences. The present didn't change due to Sougo stealing the Riders' powers in the past. It would've been different if we saw some consequences to Sougo erasing the Riders from existence
>had the power to reshape the future with Zi-O 2
He never actually used it to change the future besides making the three future riders

If I had to guess it's because the ideas behind the villains are legitimately interesting just implemented so poorly because Takahashi tried doing everything simultaneously making every single one of them half-baked
Then the Dark Keiwa arc and Neon being artificial were plot points legitimately well set up from the start, which honestly might have been good had both of them not been character assassinated in Q3 and their resolutions been rushed af
But I suppose the ideas behind these concepts combined with the show's stylishness were enough to keep the people engaged?

It's sort of the same thing that happened with Kabuto. The show is extremely stylish and the characters are really fun to watch, but the show fell apart in the final arc and never really recovered. But a lot of people still love Kabuto and consider it a great season regardless because it was such a fun watch
>>
>>23811960
Wasn't the reason it got delayed because the toys were also delayed and she was afraid people would sympathize too much with dark Keiwa? Which is why we suddenly had Keiwa blame Ace's mom and Neon wanting to cease to exist for no reason as basically padding until the toys debuted?

>>23811913
>We never really got to see what led to the original Sougo becoming Ouma Zi-O (besides a very late retcon of him "Not wanting to let go of the Heisei era")
You can rationalize that he had no Geiz and Tsukuyomi to be his friends, tell him what he was doing wrong and guide him towards the path of good.
>>23811939
>That was the only time Sougo showed any potential in being an evil king. Every other time, he's a genuinely good kid
Mirror Sougo from the Zi-O II arc was a literal manifestation of his dark side, he had to accept him as part of himself and he made an ominous speech about how he would use both the powers of good AND evil right in front of Geiz and Tsukuyomi, while Woz was giddily proclaiming he was closer to becoming Ohma Zi-O.
>>
>>23811975
No, here's the MTL of the interview Takebe made and there were no mentions of toy delays or sympathising Dark Keiwa. She just mentioned that Sara was a healing character and killing her off would make the show darker so Takebe kept pushing it off
>>

>>
>>23812000
>You can rationalize that he had no Geiz and Tsukuyomi to be his friends, tell him what he was doing wrong and guide him towards the path of good.
I think that's the popular headcanon, but it's still not mentioned in the show. So you can't really use that to explain Ouma Zi-O's backstory
>he had to accept him as part of himself and he made an ominous speech about how he would use both the powers of good AND evil
Show, don't tell. It's one thing to say that Sougo has a dark side that he admits to be willing to use, it's another thing to actually show it on screen
>>
>>
>>23812018
Sara also wasn't around enough to really justify keeping her around. Minami is in every single episode and has her own mini series to make people like her. Should have just killed her off early to kick start Keiwa's development
>>
>>
>>23812015
>I think that's the popular headcanon, but it's still not mentioned in the show
They establish later on during the Kikai arc that Sougo used to be pretty lonely.
>Show, don't tell
They showed it on the OOO arc.

Agito Psychic War spoiler from Vinz
>Mr. Seiji Takaiwa appears.
>Still can't pick up the tofu...
>Superpower war, people with superpowers fight each other (except for one person/probably the one who can shoot with their fingers).
>G6 has always been on our side, with a good record, and uses a jetpack for surprise attacks, but did not participate in the final battle.
>No explanation for why Kaoru Kino was resurrected.
>Kino mentioned that it's a selection process for humans, similar to the setup of humans defeated by GillAgitQ, where occasionally some humans become superpowered, somewhat like the Apostles of the Underworld.
>Kino strikes the transformation pose of Another Agit and transforms.
>The monster looks like Another Kuuga/a giant Agito Shining Form, and wields a giant Shining Calibur.
>It feels like the remains of Gills transferred power to G7 to defeat the final boss, that's about it.
>Shoichi transforms, but only into Ground Form, his power is not fully restored, he intends to use Rider Kick but Cross Horn... He retracted, thus transferring power to G7. The AGITQ crest appeared behind G7, and G7 used Rider Kick to finish him off.
>At the end of the movie, G-Unit went to Kamui, run by Yusuke Makiyama (Tomoi), to eat yakiniku (grilled meat). Tomoi appeared only briefly as a staff member, but it was likely a non-credited scene.

Additional Spoiler
>Final Battle: Against the Giant Another Shining Agit Monster (This is a tentative name, not the official one; the official name will be announced later)
>In the soccer stadium, G7 (Makoto Hikawa), AGITΩ (Shoichi Tsugami), and Ruriko (Yuchami) in their Trinity form as GillAgitQ battle the giant Shining Agit monster (Kino).
>The giant Shining AgitQ loses a leg (it has many legs) during the battle, but it grows back after eating GillAgitQ's corpse.
>Ruriko transforms into the Trinity form of GillAgito.
>More heroic than the regular GillAgitQ, and in Trinity form.
>Holds Flame Saber and Storm Halberd.
(The accompanying image is borrowed from the manga *Kamen Rider KUUGA*, featuring Reiko Takano as the female version of Agito.) Trinity is for illustrative purposes only and has no actual connection to the movie; however, the manga was also written by Toshiki.
>G7 is quite active, defeating multiple enemies and fighting to the very end.

You know I preferred thinking that Shouichi was the only perfect Agito, cause he was literally the only perfect Agito in the show, besides from his sister, but she died. I know how everybody is an Agito, but I expected them to be like Gills or Another Agito. Never liked the canon Inoue wrote into the Kuuga manga with all those weird Agtios running around and now that shits canon to the main show. At least shit like Mirage Agito was relegated to the S.I.C. fanfiction stories, but now there's a canon female perfect Agito who even unlocked Trinity form.

>>23812178
It makes sense to me that G6 isn't evil but I'm surprised she didn't die, now I really want an interview to know how much was Inoue, Tasaki, Shirakura, Tsukada and Takebe
Maybe Tasaki convinced them to not kill her?

I'm fine with all of this with the exception of Ryo dying and Kino going around unexplained
Even if they didn't want to get Ryo due to the controversy they shouldn't have killed Jim off-screen

the send-off is for Gills from beyond the grave, and I guess Kino since Inoue brought him back for some reason.
I'm actually concerned for the Kabuto movie, I fear it's gonna do Yaguruma dirty (Tendou is whatever because even going by the leaks, there's still no official confirmation).

Keep in mind the full tagline isn't just "who is inheriting the heavens" It's "humans? Worms?" who is inheriting the heavens?"
The heavens line by itself sounds like a successor, but with the part about humans and worms then it doesn't really feel like it's pushing things in that direction, just highlighting it's another human vs worms battle.
>>
>>23812255
ah thanks, I missed that bit of context
>>23812256
if the torch passing was towards Renge or any other character that wasn't already a rider in the show I'd kinda take it, but she's not confirmed and I'm also afraid this is gonna be a repeat of the Kabuto 2 parter from Zi-O.

I mean, part of why the OOO movie gets hate is that Eiji isn't actually around during most of the movie like revealed later. It's a greeed puppeting his body and then he pretty much returns just to say he should die and then everyone stands aside and lets him die without trying anything at all.

Takebe was vice producer on Zi-O, Zenkaiger and Donbrothers, and head producer of Geats and Gavv. Do you really think she got the time to make a whole fucking show between all that?
When they say that the idea of a show came up years before it actually came out, they just mean the idea, not that they had a whole fucking show prepared and planned out years in advance. Pre-production won't start until they're ready to make the next show.

>>23812426
If they already deemed the "female Rider push" a failure like you said, they're not going to be basing their big projects around it just because. The first Premium work doesn't come out until 2028, and they had plenty of time to course-correct during My-Th's pre-production, they're not going to have the toyline ready before Takebe and her writer decide what the motif and premise of the show are.

They're not gonna spend that many resources on shows that aren't the cream of the crop when it comes to popularity and success. Drive and Fourze's leads might've went on to become big actors, but the Rider shows they worked on aren't that popular, most of their fans know them because of the stuff they did after Rider.

Got around to catching up on Zeztz. I did not expect the turn of events that awaited me. I realized it was going to do a "it was all a dream" thing when The Lady was gunned down, but I dunno... actually seeing them follow through on that still got me.
I kinda wish they spent some more time of changing events, and outsmarting The Lady and Zero. But Sieg is fun. I like his Rider suit, too. Its cool.
I dunno where things are going, though. It doesn't seem like there is an actual meta-arc to the story, other than Zero's mysterious goals.
Anyways. The shit was fun.
