Kamen raidâ Eguzeido

"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.

The suits are hit or miss either you really like it or you really hate it from the bottom of your heart but personally I really like it and the story line is sooooo good.

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.

Is it your traditional Kamen rider in terms of suits? No, but is it a refreshing change? Absolutely.

It took awhile for me to get used to them but there's a certain charm to the over-the-top suits and I think that this show would of not have been as successful without these over-the-top suits.

The characters are all fun and well developed. Sure, some characters die and get revived, but this does not diminish their impact or make them less likable! I'm glad that they are all alive. It's a happy rider show with terrific fight scenes, effects, and likable characters.

Also, Dan Kuroto is the best villain in Rider, SHIN DAN KUROTO.

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.
