Exactly, this series more or less accounts to a good mash-up of the previous series written by the Drive main writer Riku Sanjo, Kamen Rider W - incidentally, the object of my latest Kamen Rider themed purchase - and Toshiki Inoue's influential Kamen Rider 555, which isn't that surprising considering Riku Sanjo collaborated with the Maestro in the Masterpiece going by the name of Cutie Honey: The Live. The Toshiki Inoue influence is so strong in this series that sometimes it looks like the Maestro actually ghost wrote it, like some innuendos about a father/son problematic relation at the center of the series suggest. That said, unfortunately this series didn't manage to invest me emotionally the way Inoue did in his series (particularly my favourite Kamen Rider of all times Kiva) or even his daughter is doing with her work in No. 1 Sentai Gozyuger, but still this is a very good series nonetheless and I'll make sure to also check the sentai written by this same person. On a small personal complaint, amongst the beautiful gravure idols present in the screen I would have had rather seen in particular Rei Yoshii/Rinna Sawagami in the same outfit she sported in some erotic photoshoots of hers available online contemporary of this series - I. E. completely naked from head to toe - instead of the boring scientist one she had here for the entirety of the runtime, but maybe it's just me. At least I had some good company thanks to some spicy fanart available on Pixiv, not linked to her but to Kiriko but it was a good time nonetheless. All in all, it's recommended by me, "final" useless episode retconnecting this series to the terrible Kamen Rider Ghost excluded.
P. S. Avoid also the terrible/useless movie, it's as pointless and awful as the Kamen Rider W one.
