Kamen Rider Geats

First off, Kamen Rider Geats is a series filled with interesting concepts.

While it does try so many new things, such as "Reality Rider Show" and "Battle Royal Game" types of settings, the core of being "Kamen Rider" is clearly intact and present in the story. The story, starting with many "grand" happinesses that people desire, slowly turning into breaking from the DGP rules, taking control of their lives, and eventually turning into small yet rewarding happiness, is great.

The main characters are likeable: Ace's manipulative yet caring personality filled with sorrow from parting ways with his family and the torment of living for 2,000+ years just to meet the one he love, Keiwa's wish for world peace that can be shakable but not destroyed, Neon's desire for "love" that resonates with her family more than a typical "love" thing, and Michinaga's ruthless desire that's driven by tragedy.

Their growth is pretty solid as well, and it's present in subtle and natural ways that's don't just flip their entire personality around.

The other characters are pretty interesting as well; from the many viewpoints about "happiness" from other contestants to the satirical characteristics of the DGP management to criticize the entertainment industry (mainly Japanese), from the "Vision" of each producer, to how the Supporters of each Rider feel about their favorite contestant.

The action and fight scenes are pretty great, especially when they use their environments and gimmicks in the fights, creating creative fight scenes and stunts as a result.

Now for the cons: -There are a handful of plots that've been mentioned but not explored enough.

-Keiwa's arc towards the end of the series has quite bad pacing, and sometimes makes the audience feel like it's dragging it out too much Keiwa's characters look dumb.

-Tsumuri's arc and characters can be so much more after the goddess incident.

-Suel, the final villain, while being a nice satire to the "control freak" and deceiver type of producer, his personality and interactions as a character towards the main character are pretty bland, especially when compared to other game masters and producers such as Niram, Girori, and Chirami.

Overall, it's a great series with noticeable flaws, but the flaws are clearly bested by the other great parts of the series.

Truly a highlight, highly recommended.

When the promotional posters for geats were released, My expectations werent that high but when I watched the show......... God this is best show ever, every character were just yes awesome, The plot is engaging with the arcs being something new everytime and the backstories especially Neon's is just omg so shocking, and the suits are nice and the plot twist is Kamen rider build level type plot twist and the tournament/game show/typical kamen rider/death game type theme with each arc are so intriguing and while the show does have some minor cons The show overall is amazing and I believe no other Kamen rider show can get better then Geats and like Ace said: Ace with us.

Geats was a fun series with glaring issues, but among other things had repetitive, low stakes "protagonist must always win" plots. Ace is as interesting as tap water to boot.

Normally, for a kids show, this can be forgiven but it also had some of the weakest writing I've seen in years. The origin of the MK II powerup is a prime example, but even it's endgame turned the power of friendship into something akin to a religious cult.

If you want good, mindless character driven fun this is the series for you. If you want dynamic writing, high stakes, or even a suspenseful plot? Look elsewhere.

If you like Kamen Rider, it's a good watch. If you're going in looking for the next Ryuki or Gaim, you want be finding it here.

In 2002 kamen rider ryuki survival show started where riders should kill other rider in order to gain their goal.now after 20 years this show repeats in a different survival way where rider should be in 1st position in order to grant their desire.

The rivalry between ace ukiyo and michinaga azuta is somewhat similar the rivalry between kyo kusanagi and iori yagami (king of fighters) where they never stop fighting each other.michinaga azuta is merciless yet worse than takeshi asakura (kamen rider ouja).ace ukiyo is intelligent rider in the history of kamen rider.

I like the romance and chemistry between neon kurama and kyunn.i wish both of them get married.their cuteness really overload me.

John (tom constantine) and ben (michael kinder) are the first foreign actor in the history of kamen rider show.i never seen they can also appear in kamen rider show.i wish i want to be part as a guest actor in kamen rider or super sentai show if possible.

The story is well at first ok but at last confused me with time and history shown in this show.
