I love how someone watched this and thought that they would just purchase the domain name.

I cannot believe that Toei didn't purchase it themselves. You just know that kids are gonna search for the site, so what if it had been bought by some guy who put porn on it? I mean this is common sense in this era.

That's not owned by Toei? Honestly, can't say I'm not surprised by this

Pretty good series start. Going to have to get used to the comedian aspect of Aruto, but he's likable.
The bit where hooded dude gets jumped by the humagear, and subsequently CQC executes it was wicked cool and definitely paints as someone who won't play around.
Wonder what his partner will be like.

Fuwa seems to be cool. Also feel like he'll be somewhat Go-ish in this series, at least in wanting to exterminate all Roi- I mean HumaGear.
Hopefully lady cop becomes a solid character and not just there to almost give an order to immediately be broken by Fuwa, but who knows what that hierarchy is.

Main complaint for the whole episode might be the quick retrieval of the special gun from the van? I mean hooded guy established he could bullet to the head a gear and be fine; but we have this five or six person unit with M4s (?) battering them down and "it's taking forever, let me get the golden gun". They're a special unit, too, so it's not like it wouldn't be impossible for them to dispatch the gears? Guess they just have to hurry and establish whatever they are instead of letting it develop and episode or two.

Holy crap this episode rocked. I've been looking forward to Zero One for a while and it's nice to know it didn't disappoint. It seems to straddle the line between humorous and serious, like Ex-Aid did. It's not afraid to go dark (Jin...just....Jin) which is a good thing.

Also, the fight choreography is insanely good. I haven't seen fights this good in awhile.

Part of me wondered if I loved this episode so much simply because Zi-O was a disappointment. But after watching it a few more times, I'm convinced it stands on it's own as an amazing episode. If they all are like this then this is going to be a very good year.

Ok, I really, really like this first episode, it lands almost every beat. Aruto is interesting if I'll like him more than Sougo I'm not sure yet because Sougo really checked of several archetypes I adore, but we will see, we have a year with the guy after all.

The only thing I'm kinda worried about is the villains. That extends to both main villains and the monsters of the week. Jin comes of as Parad 2.0 and that from the same writer kinda feels wrong, I want to see new characters, sure that can change but still and Horobi is not established enough to say anything about, but he seems to fall in a similar role to Graphite, I guess.

The monsters of the week though might have the same problem as the Bugsters, entierly forgettable beyond their design. I really don't want that, ZI-O finally had the Monster be interesting again, either through their motivations or through their powers, like Another Agito. I personally just care more about the week to week stuff because it makes for a more enjoyable experience overall than just a good story that shows its strength towards the end, because if that would be the case the best way to enjoy the series would be to wait a year and just binge it and I really don't care for that approach.

I like so far, but I hope Takahashi does better on writing the story.

Nice reality ensues on laying off humans for automation.

Yeah, I agree with Luna. That *site* has nothing to do with Toei.

All said, I hope the guy who portrayed Taro/the 1st MOTW can reappear in future Tokusatsu productions.

The belt design looks so much like an nVidia graphics card but I don't mind it all. Overall design reminds me of a throwback to the first riders of Showa and Heisei.

I liked the part where the humagears have human forms...Izu is just so cute.

A.I.M.S somehow reminded me of 4C in KR Amazons. Looking forward to Fuwa's transformation soon.

The rider kick was enjoyable to see. Did I just see that dude kill someone with a gunshot straight to the head? That looked sick even though the character that was killed off was a humagear. It went dark right there, lol.

The comedy part was where he was trying hard to make people laugh was really bad but I guess that's him trying to be funny which wasn't funny at all. But since that is his dream, maybe he'll be better next time. The cool thing about him though is when he really does the cool stuff, he seems to be really cool tbh.

I am digging the first episode and looking forward to the whole year of the first KR of the new era. Thanks for the subs!

My 01 post on this forum.

So far so good. I liked the first episode, was decent. I didn't like Aruto's comedy screams and face, but he is an okay character so far. 22 so not as young as Zi-O which I like. For some reason, I thought the effects didn't look as good as the previous recent efforts, mostly the futuristic stuff and the bus. The rest was good.

Looking forward to what is next, especially the next two riders. Shooting Wolf and Rushing Cheetah I guess. I like that the woman agent was in charge… even though no one listened to her :( . That villain who corrupted the humagear reminded me of Paradox for some reason.

Also the site is in English, except the bit that says "Privacybeleid", which is Dutch. I actually checked a few weeks ago and was surprised that the site didn't exist. Seemed a missed opportunity, like how they didn't make Ui Channel real.
