It's like Gaim series to me - awful designs made me not watch it soon, but I loved the series and character developments.

However, I must confess, I miss old school lone wolfs/bikers/darkers Riders with less "neon" designs...

Also, thanks for the Diend/Decade info, man, I'll look for these. And great pics, it's sad MRS didn't delivery the other imagins

At least we got Deneb still!

As for Kamen Rider, it comes and goes. There's usually a pattern, and we'e due for a classic series influenced again after Ex-Aid. And after that will probably be something they haven't done yet. The rider after this one is 20 anyway. Literally the 10th one after Decade.

But I also think back to that transition from Hibiki to Kabuto. Hibiki went very artistic influenced and story-thematic focusing on the choice his apprentice was faced with as the underlying concept of the show for growing up. Then Kabuto went back to the emphasis on Corporations and technology but with a heavy scifi bent.

So I'd expect the next one after ex-aid to lean more towards similar original series trope inversions, probably something that'll kick off whatever the next decade (pun not intended!) of riders will be while also paying respect to its roots.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what the 20th and 21st riders will look like tbh. So to me, Ex-Aid is kind of like saying "we're prepping to pay respect to our past, but also bringing it to our future, and we're not afraid to Patch Adams our way into your heart."

So who knows what they'll doctor up for us next! Until then, I can't wait so see how the mighty number 9 of riders turns out! Hopefully better than that game was reviewed.
