I finished watching OOO yesterday and started watching Fourze now.
It was good. I liked Os design and powers more than Double. His last form was awesome. Though they all have silly names, and the insert songs didn't blow me away. Some of the regular themes were a bit too goofy for me as well, though it did have some really strong emotional themes.
The Eiji/Hina/Ankh relation was really good, especially towards the end. Great side cast too.
Also greatly enjoyed how everyone had lots of different outfits, regular clothes and even outright costumes in the Cous Coussier. Love stuff like that.
Talking about clothes, I like how the Greed's regular clothes were color-coded (Ankh's single red sleeve on all his outfits is ace) and the color-coded curtains/clothes (very in your face during the Greed meetings, but also Ankh's bed sheet was red and from the same material) and the color-coded lighting. Very neat touches.
I'm a bit puzzled about what Kougami's plan actually was in the end. It felt somewhat unsatisfying on that front. The Greeds as antagonists also let me a bit down at the end. Their desires and betrayels were interesting to watch for sure to an extent, but I felt there could have been more done with them. But it felt like a sideshow compared to the stuff between Ankh and Eiji (and to an extent Hina) anyway, so I'm not too fussed. I guess what I'm saying is I like the personal connections between the good guys an bad guys like in W and there wasn't really anything like that with the Greed.
Fourze has pretty much already grabbed me from the first episode though. Gentarou is awesome. The music great. I very much enjoy the setting.
And if I'd known it had an insert song like this:
I might have wanted to watch it way sooner :P
She sounds like Mizuki Nana, but isn't. :thinking:
Anyway, I've now watched a hundred Kamen Rider episodes this year, christ.
