I am under the impression that Jin-san knows about Double by how he gave Shoutarou those pictures. One of those pictures actually had a vital clue that was needed to find Togawa Yousuke. Shoutarou commented about how it was just a coincidence that Marina's case was related to the Dopant case the police were investigating.

It seems the name of the town is also related to The Long Goodbye.

Didnt knew of this Chicago nickname, it goes well with what I've read about the book and the writer's work used for "reference" while creatin the universe.

You know, I've been wondering...
...where the heck did that female villain plug in the GaiaMemory? 0_o

(Also, was I the only one reminded of a certain Lonely Island song in the OP? XD)

Thats pretty cool Arigomi picking up on that.

And wow really? I thought Chicago's nickname, Windy City, was on the level of like New York City being called the Big Apple or Texas the Lone Star State. One of those "I don't remember where I learned it, but I know it" type deals. I'm a little sad now. I think I'll go eat some pizza...

And yeah, Luna is interesting but I actually liked the part where he grabbed the monsters face to help him get closer to the enemy more then I like the weird whirling cg animation. It felt over done with the whirling. It be cool if it did take a bit from One Piece and show that tension and speed from the stretching effect they use in it. Less fancy on terms of showing off CG but definitely cooler looking. Or at least have it follow some kind of physics like a whip or rubber band. And hey, didn't we have a rider with a hook for a hand too?

first of all, thanks tv-n for continuing subbing kamen rider series!

amazing ,amazing first episode! the characters are well introduced in record time, unlike other series and the back story did not drag out for the first few minutes... maybe will learn more from them through the course of the series! henshin sequence looks too long really, buyt maybe since its the first time we've seen it all the effects are there. they will soon find a way to henshin at once. everything was said already just one minor thing i've noticed: lol at the building in the first scene! a helicopter exploded on its side but still remains unscratched! hehehe

looking forward every week for this series! :mrgreen:

> Uhm, he's a detective that investigates Dopants. I doubt they'll lose the detective bits to hunt for Dopants. I mean, as I can tell, the episode forumula is them finding out whether a Dopant is involved, and who the Dopant is, before they locate and fight him.

That is not what th show depicted. Marina asked him to find her boyfriend. He didn't know there was a dopant involved, so I guess he is just a normal detective. And as I said, it would be too forceful if all cases were related somehow with dopants. Of course, they should have a BIG case investigating the dopants themselves in the background.

I will be really upset if the new girl ends up being as annoying as Shizuka and Hana were (Natsumi was cool though)
By the looks of this first episode, she seems to be.

Luna for is weird. It's like Mr. Fantastic (of Fantastic Four)

I like the finisher though. It was really cool.

I like Renn's acting, but the Phillip guy is a little...off? I dunno. Maybe he's supposed to be that way.

The Dopant at the end (dinosaur head?) was strange, and the rubber costume/CGI was so obvious it hurt.

Overall, great episode though.

I should have also mentioned how supremely kick-ass the intro is, i love it!
The animated (?) bit also reminds me of the disney Dick Tracy movie.

Luna is probably like that as a reference to how the tides are when a moon is out or something along those lines.

As for Akiko, she doesnt know much about Futo, so i wouldnt be surprised if she becomes annoying as Shizuka, hopefully that isnt the case tho.

i like Akiko. unlike Shizuka which i had to take some time to accept her in Kiva.

during the scene when Saeko uses her GaiaMemory, i had this picture in my head.

"Dad, actually i...... *henshin* *CYCLONE JOKER* .....found someone i want to marry." :p
"Untouchable Spirit! Rin-Jyu T-Rex-ken!"

SILENCE! I KEEL YOU! *evil stare*

I loved W!! I was just kinda disappointed that they didn't have to be in close proximity to henshin. I was excited about the notion of them not being able to henshin individually because then it'd make for more compelling conflicts, with either one having to find ways to escape and such, instead of just KAIJIN*HENSHIN*

The transforming apart could've been a power they get mid-way into the series. Owell.

The Dopant case and the missing boyfriend case were two separate cases, who happened to be related by coincidence. If you recall correctly, he also started on the Dopant case after stuff blew up and he met with the police detective. He found out after talking to the detective that the two cases were related.
