The one that was your first: Den-O

The one with the best theme song: Kabuto- Next Level

The one that made you laugh the most: Den-O. The first episode had a dude on a bicycle in a tree and the lulz only went up from there.

The one that made you cry the most: W. Ep48 got me good.

The one that surprised you: W. At the previews I was 2 in 1? WTF. They won me over very quickly.

The one that didn't meet your expectations: Theres quite a few but Kiva stands out the most. It had everything to be really good then just sort of petered out.

The one with the best relationship: Tendou and Kagami. It took them a long time but they built an awesome dynamic.

The one with the best fight scenes/action: Theres a lot of good stuff throughout the series. Kamen Rider One and Two have their classic Rider Kick. Gills had some pretty brutal fights in Agito. Ryuki has some good stuff between the human riders. Hibiki was pretty novel. Ryuu-Den-O was awesome. W made a art out of form switching. Theres a lot of good in a lot of different ways across the franchise.

The one with the best suit design/transformation scenes: The realisation of W's concept is excellent.

The one that you compare all the others to: As a benchmark for comparison Den-O, it was my first, it'll always be what I come back to. That said each title exists on it's own merits and it is quite hard to compare them with one another except in very broad terms.

SPOLIERS probably.

( So yeah, Doctor Who and all that )

First thought: Red has a big mouth and kind of resembles Katori Shingo from SMAP.
Second: Where to they find these crazy tall blue dudes?

So I kind of like it so far. I think the overall team look is better, Blue's height is offset by Red's broad shouldered build which is a step up from last year, I always thought Hyde made Alata and Eri look like kids. Also my anti red bias has not kicked in yet which is pretty impressive 'cause the last time that happened was back when I watched Time and Abaranger. Whilst I appreciate that the Red is the focal point for the series I nearly always find the other characters more interesting. Whether or not this will turn out to be true, I don't know but it would be nice to get an atypical red and I think the pirate motif will allow it. Blue, I like Blue, nothing out of the ordinary there. Appropriately interesting past please. Yellow, liking. Green, liking, I just hope they don't overplay the physical comedy. Pink, hopefully the manners will mellow a little but I think the 'Princess' character could be a good counterpoint to the pirate mentality.

In all: Toei, you've got something good, don't screw it up.
