>I'm under the impression you haven't seen Fourze
I did, and hated it. And Gotchard also reminds me of it, so it is another negative point.
>Kuuga, Agito or even Ryuki
Those 3, along with pretty much all else non mentioned, suffer from what I pointed out: inconsistency and characters changing behavior for no reason, to the point that it ruins the plot towards the end. same as Kabuto, Kiva, and so on.
The characters not changing in Blade was the shows' biggest quality. Consistency is more important than development.
As for the supporting cast, pretty much all modern Kamen Rider shows suck at it. From Kuuga up to now, the non-Rider supporting cast always has one, more or ALL characters that could be completely removed and the shows would be better (example: Akiko, in W, everyone at the police station in Drive, etc).
>Gaim
Those crossovers and shilling episodes are just to be skipped. You don't watch commercials for other productions, and the show becomes great. The problem with other shows is when the inconsistencies and pacing get ruined IN universe, for no reason other than bad writing.
Urobuchi's plots being the same are a blessing. I would trade all Kamen Rider shows in existence for shows with the same plot as Gaim airing over and over. It is better to have repetitive good writing than innovative garbage.
As for Kouta, that is my point: nobody there changed their personalities. They kept going on until the ultimate consequences and beyond, without turning into the complete opposite of who they were, like many other shows do.
>W
That finale was exactly what ruined the show. Also, the first in a long series of "resurrected characters so the following year's show can have a crossover" which ruined 90% of the shows from W onward.
The Freeze arc was indeed a mess, but Shinnosuke at least stayed consistent, along with Chase, and they both got good plot points during Gold Drive's arc. If there is something that could be pointed as ruining Drive's plot is Mach.
>Build
Not at all. As everything was presented in order to fill in gaps in the plot presented previously (example: "who was the man who unleashed Pandora's Box?" answered by "Build's mentor", followed by "but why?" and finished by "because he was being manipulated by an alien who was the owner of said artifact and whose goal was to unleash it to destroy the world since the beginning of the show"), giving all minimal details presented through the show's course a point and a goal to be achieved by the characters. Not to mention, Build might be the only show in which all movies and specials complement the main story without ruining it.
You may not like the "aliens did it" trope, but the way it was presented was very good and fitting for the plot. Unlike shows such as Kabuto, or Kiva, or Faiz, in which characters change goals, even their very origins and personalities, to fit in with whatever that week's writer wanted to write, ignoring all continuity.
>Geats
It reeks of producers and sponsors interference, more than writer's problems. I bet Takahashi was going for a more gritty and down to earth ending about how happiness IS rationed and it is impossible for the majority of people to be happy, then came producers and toy manufacturers and demanded he changed that to this shitty ending.
I can only imagine how depressed a child growing up exposed to such brainwashing will be once he faces reality. No wonder Japanese people commit suicide frequently.
>Gotchard's writer
That is even more concerning, as those shows were mostly shit, or became shit after the middle run. SSSS Gridman was basically a feminist propaganda too. so, having that profile only makes me glad that I decided to not watch Gotchard.
>Takahito Omori
From what Japanese fans are saying, King Ohger's sales are already bad. so if his writing indeed gets the ratings to lower, I don't see the toys selling any better. Japan is going through a economic crisis like all other countries, and overpriced plastic garbage is not being bought like before anymore. The few families there are keeping their kids away from toys, in order to not go bankrupt.
As for the quality of the writing itself, I never saw any show that had this type of drastic change mid-season to be good or even keep quality. They always decline when the producers do that, so I expect the worse to come to King Ohger from now on, especially now that the producers have shown that they want to use the show as leftist propaganda about stupidity such as equality.
