I was mostly fine with this first shot... until I saw that the motif of specifically a wrist watch goes down to his chest. I cannot handle that for some reason. Like, not 'oh this is bad' or 'ha this is hilarious' just a flood of 'you are having reactions' to the design. It just. ooooh I hope it's like painted on in the final product instead of like, bouncing around on the suit as he fights.

Toei does have an entire archive of saved effects clipart libraries... And it saves new work on making new effects, something that a yearly toy series would need to do that Kamen Rider essentially mutated towards in merchandizing.

so... am I missing an anniversary that would explain why this is an anniversary series? it's not been 50 years yet that's a few away, and this is... is this the last Heisei Rider or the first new Emperor era Rider? It's been... huh that might be it hasn't been 19 rider shows since Kuuga making this the 20th? Is that it?

edit: I know how to count, I swear

They kind of shot themselves in the foot going all in on Build being the last Heisei series before getting an abdication date. Not sure why it matters so much. As I've mentioned before, I'd be more open to a crossover if we hadn't been saturated with them over the Decade.

Oh well. I look forward to the Emperor Neo-Heisei. I've been hearing a lot about him the last couple of years.

[18:17] <|discord|> <Macaroni> ZI-O staff posted on forums, brace yourself though
[18:17] <~takenoko> let's see how bad it is
[18:18] <~takenoko> hm, that's not so bad, although shimoyama is more miss than hit for me
[18:19] <|discord|> <Macaroni> Ah
[18:19] <~takenoko> I mean, he did do ninninger, so this still might be total trash lol
[18:20] <~takenoko> plus, junko is doing a good job fixing her career after jyuohger with lupin, so maybe it's worth giving these writers a second chance. one fuck up isn't necessarily a death knell for their career

Just saw the pics
18:26] <~takenoko> clock theme? sounds like we've got a den-o here
[18:26] <~takenoko> design's pretty nice though, I approve of that
[18:26] <~takenoko> it's like decade and den-o had a baby

After 2 years of Sasaki Motoi era from TV Asahi, now is back to Toei with Shirakura Shinichiro and Takebe Naomi. But why did they choose Shimoyama Kento as main writer for Zi-O? After Ninninger copycat ideas and similar Shinkenger concept, now Shimoyama try to make another version of Den-O? So just learn how success of Kobayashi Yasuko's writing and do it again, and mix with Decade's concept (destroyer the world)?

Updated: Chief Producer is still Sasaki Motoi, but sub-Producer is Shirakura Shinichiro and Takebe Naomi.

More pictures . . . and while I didn't like it at first, I have to admit, the suit has grown on me.

I think this video of the Kamen Rider Zi-O driver will be useful in the preparation of the transformation effects for the one doing the effects on the subtitles.

Comes with the transformation music too.
