Kamen Rider Gotchard

Gotchard goes downhill after they focus to bring past riders to appear on the series (Attempt to recapture audience) failed miserably. No proper explanation provided how the bad guys obtain the dark riders power. They seem to appear to fight with Legend, to make the hype increase they invited Zein from outsider to appear as well which clearly shows they are from the same universe. But its totally not necessary, if the series have the momentum and power to stand by itself. It doesnt need to rely on past rider power or appearances. The cast have better acting compare to earlier episodes but.......

Previously i played fullmetal alchemist anime based game on playstation 2.which revolve around alchemy. But this shows is alchemy's theme for the first time.

Story and plot is really good.just like a pokemon cartoon.

I like gotchard's forms.chemy card's design is absolutely similar to yu gi oh cards.

Honestly 2nd rider kamen rider valvarad costume is really worst and garbage.

Three gothic sister are really beautiful and cunning.i never thought little girl itono chan will be villainess in this show. I find funny when she speak like an adult.

It's really great to see rockstar daigo san in this show and movies. Previously he also appear in card based anime vanguard. This fate brought him in this show. Coincidence.

Kamen rider legend action is good.

And I'm not referring simply to the appareance of the cast of that one in this, nor to the fact that amongst its writers at her debut this series has none other than Akiko Inoue, sibling of the best tokusatsu writer ever existed period, inspirational model in the daily life and marriage prompter of otakus towards the sexiest animated characters ever concieved by an human mind (I'm talking about one of the best waifus of all times, my own wife the Female Ranma from the first Ranma 1/2 series dated 1986) Toshiki Inoue but also to the absolutely ridicolous insistance of the Toei Corporation (the biggest broadcasting powerhouse in japan) to keep on producing tokusatsus shows in 2024 that span fifty episode of your time when 36-40 would be the ideal time in which all the energies of said show are lost. Which is exactly what happened here, by the 40th episode everything that had to be said it was (in particular Akiko, which episodes I would have put all well before the 40th episode landmark, had said it all perfectly) and the show had nothing to say anymore. Why the hell Toei keeps on insisting with this practice, outdated in the age of streaming and binge-watching, I have no idea, particularly considering that other past tokus of them (Machineman and Byclosser, to name a few) lasted for less than 40 episode and they were good nonetheless. Also, putting a lot of the episodes of Akiko towards the end of the show - when the viewer's attention was lost - doesn't put a particular good light on the supposed "pro-female" choice of Akiko as the main writer of the next Sentai, I think. On the series itself, having watched this mainly for Akiko due to my insane love for her father's work I'm extremely glad she's taken the torch a là Razor of that genius, meaning her vision of superheroes is the same of her father: 70's shoujo worship (including, this time, Yaoi innuendos taken from the likes of Kaze No Ki No Uta, the Underrated Natsu e No Tobira and Boku Patalliro, the titular protagonist of the latter being the clear model for the civilian identity of Kamen Rider Legend) mixed with Toshiki's typical social commentary, abundant Disney Princesses worship (I'm sincerely hoping for a Disney Princesses-Licensed Super Sentai to be written by Akiko very soon), psychedelic stuff a là Hideaki Anno and Toshiki's inspiring philosophy about hoping fot a light to shine the path in a world full of darkness. Concerning the rest, the action is fun, the OST bangs hard, the gravure idols in the villain's role are expectedly tasty, the veteran actress and ex-idol Yoko Minamino A. K. A. Saki Asamiya II from Sukeban Deka II is as lovely as she was in the 80's, my only true gripe with this series - excessive runtime and some abortive chara permitted. Faiz mixed with Kuuga suit I'm looking at you - is that I don't understand why Toei simply doesn't drop the Rider name from the Kamen Rider IP. I'm not a motorcycle fetishist of sorts (see the overabundance of motorcycles in the crappy Kamen Rider Ryuki Vs a more sparse use of them in a 100% certified masterpiece like Kamen Rider Kiva) but the titular Kamen Rider rides a motorbike twice in the entirety of the show, so what gives?!

All in all, if you're a fan of Toshiki Inoue and you want stuff made in line with his ideas, give the first 40 episodes of this a try. It's better than everything Akiko's hacky grandfather - Masaru Igami, writer of the crappy showa Riders and abusive, alcoholic father of Toshiki Inoue - ever penned in the entirety of his life, including the fan-favourite yet completely unwatchable (unless you're an hardcore masochist) V3.

I fricken love this series. First of all, I'm not a big fan of Kamen Rider, I don't like Fourze, The original, and most others at all. However, this is an excellent Kamen Rider Series. First of all, I love the suits, the theme song is a banger. The premise is excellent and the card motif is perfection. The characters are really good and the magic system is perfect. The Magic system is a mix of alchemy, cartomancy and monster catching. It's also basically a mix of Harry Potter/Fantastic Beasts and Yu-Gi-Oh!. Also the rider is so awesome when he turns into creatures and powers himself up using all of them. Please don't let this fantastic series end up getting on the list of worst Kamen Rider seasons. This is an extremely underrated Kamen Rider season that's my favorite as of now. It improves on the Kamen Rider Geats with better fight scenes and an even better premise.

Bad story telling and the acting of main two characters make the series the worst. Maybe coincidence or not but the suits in this series too is another thing to make it even worst. Please don't make another series with that kind of untalented actors and bad looking suits. Toei should think twice for this one. Don't make a series just to make another toys.

I've seen so many past rider's series but can't stand a bit on this one. Overall this series is just a physically suck.

Actually I wondered if they make an actual audition to produce a yearly made series a good one. How do they found that kind of actors and create the ugliest suits of all time.
