Kamen Rider Ex-Aid

When I was getting into Kamen Rider and look at Ex-aid for the first time, I thought it looks weird because of the suits but it grew on me (same with the opening). The characters are good, the story is great, the writing is good and the acting was weak at first but got better as the show progressed. It's one of those shows were I wish it last longer and since it's 45 episodes I did wish it was longer. Overall, great show, fun to watch and worth trying out.

The game started with a unique and engaging theme, capturing attention with its potential. However, it quickly lost focus. The original theme faded, leaving behind just ordinary battles. The drama lacked substance, and the sense of a national-level crisis completely disappeared. Political, military, and law enforcement elements were nowhere to be found, making the world feel unrealistic and shallow. The story became a cycle of repetitive conflicts, with no real growth or tension. Ultimately, the game lost its seriousness and emotional depth, making it difficult to stay invested or entertained. What started with promise ended in frustration.

"Ex-Aid" is one of those seasons where you have to understand it from a stand-point. This is a Kamen Rider season made for a whole new audience than initially intended back in 1971. Rider fans of the Shōwa-era are going to find this garbage, but listen from a neutral source right here.

I enjoy Ex-Aid for what it is. Much like Gaim making fruits marvelous, it does the same for chibi avatars in Ex-Aid. Its story is as basic as it can be, make sure the civilians are safe from the antagonist and defeat them. Ex-Aid uses the advantage of the current CGI tactics to get away with some scenes, and for the most part, it is decent. True that Ex-Aid should have used more practical tokusatsu techniques, but given its theme, you can't really blame it.

The designs are either a hit-or-miss. Either you like it, or you don't. I will admit, it threw me off initially, but it has grown on me, and the Level 1 suits are generally cute. The only major flaw in the series is being too flashy and bright in its special effects. By episode 5, you'd wish they could tone it down a whole lot.

All in all, it's pretty decent. Ignore the designs and stick to the plot. You have just a decent or good time.

One of my favorite Kamen rider series of all time. I wouldn't say it's the best but it has great character development and plot twists.

One of my favorite seasons. She manages to mix a history of medicine and video games incredibly well. She is a series that knows very well how to introduce new riders without getting tired. If you like Kamen Rider and video games, just watch it.
