Kamen Rider

I have, and probably always will, favor(ed) Kabuto and Agito. Kabuto had tons of extremely well-designed riders(based on many of my favorite animals, no less), and a plot that was moderately entertaining. Agito... well, it's Agito. Blade was entertaining, but in the sort of way that I would never, ever watch it again. 555 was also like Blade in that regard - horrendous plot with terrible acting, but neat Riders and fight scenes.

I was not the least bit fond of Kiva, W, OOO(though I will admit my dislike for OOO is based purely on the aesthetical mis-matching that constantly occurs), or Fourze. Fourze I just refuse to watch because he looks like something a young conehead might draw and desire to grow up to be someday.

I am not particularly keen on any Showa Riders, either.

agreed couldnt they put the logo of the switch instead of the numbers like the memories Pinching_eyes_2
Well, the switches are machines in universe, not toys. They're referred to by their functions in the show, but they were designed to be accessed by computers and such.
There appears to be a trend in some anime that is heavily inspired by recycling : look at the latest Digimon season, it uses exactly that mindset too.
Hahah, the supposed Kamen Rider Meteor :

why am i getting the feeling that the designs are getting worse every year since decade? (skull was pretty cool)

the "reboot" renditions of Rider 1 and 2 (Ichigo, Nigo) in Kamen Rider THE FIRST and THE NEXT were pretty BA though, by far my favorite rider design ever. Aggressive, but an obvious homage to the originals. (the movies were pretty bad though)

looks better than Fourzey itself..lol =.=
somewhat..looks like the other rider in Kva series..IXA i guessed?

bugturtlesGaspOO looks pretty rugged to me especially putotyra combo..XD
So now we know Fourze's fire state. Better than expected. Perhaps switch 30 will be earth or wind. 40 has to be related to space somehow.
Ah cmon guys give the new kid a chance i like Fourze i mean hes an Ok kid his hearts in the right place also miu was right people need to shine by themselves not by others i get where shes at. The zodiarts are awesome i love how the minor ones are the rest of the constellations and i can assume the 12 main ones are the 12 main zodiac constellations as seen by Scorpio

The show is aimed for kids and it deals with many things one of which is temptation the switch that the students use to become zodiarts can be compared to a forbidden fruit of some sorts.

And to the people who are hating on the costume heres my thoughts

Helment-Something different its space themed and a rocket seems to suit it
Body- The O the X and square seem a bit much but it goes good with the overall white/silver and black

the belt- Now this is awesome i hear people are complaining about the switches having numbers well ever think they need organazation i mean the fourze driver SAYS the name of the switch like example: Rocket or Drill,Etc.

The show is good I just started watching it and im hooked the Drill/Rocket combo kick is Awesome and the effects are decent if you dont like it thats your opinion me I give it a solid 8/10 as of this moment on episode btw the theme is addicting and burger meal reminds me of Wall-E
And Double Rocket States ...

That belt just looks ridiculous. Even the W belt with the T-Rex add-on looked much better than what is pictured there.

Fourze in that state looks just like a goldfish too.

I dunno i kinda like it but i dont see how its like a goldfish besides the color...
The obvious colour is enough, but also look at the middle picture, the end of the rockets totally resemble fins.

Hmm I can see it now....Still Rocket Punch times TWO that would hurt...
fourze would be better with an upgraded jetpack, two "brass knuckles" that are rocket boosted is far too gimmicky.

for me, the second half of OOOs was when kamen rider started going downhill for me. i know it's only like the 9th episode of fourze, but this is just getting ridiculous

guess i'll get back to finishing kabuto
LOL..the double rocket mode..it is just a recolor..expect more from it actually..Pinching_eyes_2
hope Meteor Rider have something good as well..
Double Rocket States is MOVIE-ONLY, you guys. Not showing up in the show. Relax.

Anyway, yeah, Magnet looks cool, and so does Meteor. He's got this interesting bracelet weapon, looks like it controls gravity and the like.

I remember when my friend posted the belt for Meteor. I was SO mad. His belt looks almost exactly like the Birth Driver, just retooled and fixed around to accomodate a Fourze Rider. But the suit compensates for it. In my friend's words, "He's got stars on his suit. That's pretty carping sick."

the fact that it still exists even in movie-only does not change the fact that the weapon is just downright ridiculous

the movies normally tie in with the the tv series at some point anyway
i heard that..there will be a new movie in n=end of next year..fourzey and 000 where ankh posessed eiji instead of shingo..
also there is leakage on super tatoba combo on jefusion..XD
Ya know im seein irony i mean how is the costume bad is the helement THAT bad and is the colors? i say we give fourze a chance ya know? I have (then again first rider series watched without it being raw and the audio missynced...)
I think we can comment on suits, also not to mention that the story of Fourze itself is not that awesome either ...
The way I see it, Fourze is trying to make it like a standard "anime high school" theme. TBH, no, it's not working.

And W and OOOs pulls its gimmick a lot better than Fourze, in which each little bit (one Gaia Memory or one Core Medal) affects the entire fighting style when it comes to form changing. For Fourze, all you get is added equipment, and one Switch out of how many will give you a new States form.

I seriously hate the story (but am trudging through it), but Meteor's suit is the only thing I like so far. I just don't like this high school thing...

that's probably why

Gatling gun leg, Chainsaw leg, Pogo-Stick leg, Rocket Launcher leg?

I could totally understand the rocket launcher leg (similar to how a Zaku can be equipped with one from Gundam), but it would make much more sense for the Gatling and Chainsaw weapons to be mounted on the arm instead.

Miu is beyond cute for sure, but I'm sure that alone can't overcome the disappointment I have in Fourze. At least there's always next year? (but that is the exact same thing I said about OOOs near the end)

I liked the gimmicks and belts of Decade (say what you will about it's chopped-to-pieces-and-put-back-together storyline) and W the best. <3

Isn't That this year's movie Megamax? Featuring Ooo, Fourze, Aqua , Poseidon and Nadeshiko!(Gentaro's apparent crush) and it actually has a bit of Den-o plotting(aqua and Poseidon are both the same guy from the same future, only on different sides(what?!)) . Well probably see dual rocket state. Perhaps well see who's Kamen rider Meteor or Fourze's Magnet form! I find Fourze rather interesting but the Shield switch really really sucked and a light switch?! Might as well stick a dozen torchlights on the powerdizer or something
