I was thinking it was about that time; I do like this era when the show's motif isn't obvious from just the rider name, but on the other hand it means this post can't be very long or have much interesting speculation. Gacha machines (misspelled in English and Japanese)? Gatchaman but KR? A guy who sets his enemies on fire so that they "Got charred"? Yeah, no.

Apparently there was a tweet alleging "Kamen Rider Vixen" earlier this month, but that turned out to be fake.

I'd just like to say this was posted a week ago and somehow I missed it. Shows how little I've been paying attention to the toku fandom lately.

It's gacha+card. I've never figured out why gacha is spelled as gotcha though, it's ubiquitous for those machines.

Update: We have our first images!

Given those images, it looks like our gimmick is... trains (plus maybe arrows)? Weird that they'd go with trains twice, though it's steam trains rather than bullet trains this time around. Driver looks nice and non-clunky.

They've done 4 Dinosaur Sentais and 3 Ninja Sentais, it's weird Rider doesn't repeat themes more often. Plus Den-O ended 15 years ago, not that it seems like that, and ToQger ended 8 years ago.

The problem with Den-O is that he never really left. Momotaros and crew come back every few years to remind us that we like the Imagin, or live on in their successors like the Zenkai idiots

Teaser dropped. Looks like Geats will be a 50 episode series unless they take a break

Another teaser just dropped!
https://youtu.be/8P4GfmNCb7g

Random notes on it:
  • Feels like one of the first times we've had more metallic (or at least shiny) suits? I feel a bit mixed on the look; I appreciate the increased reflectivity, but it's so clean it looks more artificial than the plastic-textured ones. I think I'll categorize it as a good thing, since trying to push the costuming further is worth a try even when it doesn't work perfectly.
  • That red (samurai?) form looks extremely good; I'm almost surprised it isn't the main form
  • The mysterious villain has a card slot on his sword; are we getting an evil rider in the first arc? Wouldn't be the only entry that did that, but surprised it'd be that early

Hope they will have 1 main Rider and a secondary Rider like series from Den-O to Wizard.
Too tired from Ex-Aid to Geats with many Rider or Rider Wars in one series.
From the sub-writer of Ghost and Saber and now become main writer, I feel this series is light-heart and funny to watch. The plot remind me OOO as well.

A show with fewer Riders would be good to have; as much as I liked Gaim and like Geats, I don’t want those to be the status quo. If every show’s a rider war, none of them is.

Incidentally, found a better shot of the evil-looking guy:
Spoiler
Via a Discord server: “Seems like we are getting a pseudo rider ala Chase”

Again, props to the costuming team for aiming to make the suits look like they include actual metal. This illusion is way more persuasive than Gotchard’s shinier look imo
