One word: W-B-X, well..., actually it was W-G-X ~W Goes Next~.
Fu.. YEAH! Finally, they used this song. This, the Memory Break, and the chasing scenes were epic!

NEW VERSION OF W-B-X (W-G-X or W Goes neXt) as an insert song? Studio Kai is really servicing Kamen Rider fans well.


The epic bike chase reminds us why the hero is called Kamen RIDER. Joker Extreme!

10:33 Not a simp but a USB addict pretending to simp since the bag Tokime stole had his Fix.

Having the Toadstool memory in the evidence bag really hammers in the metaphor.

16:51 Tokime likes how half-boiled Shotaro is.

18:18 From Cyclone Joker, Luna Joker and Luna Trigger and now Heat Metal! I'm so glad to see these rider forms back in action!

19:47 Philip empathises with Tokime since he also had amnesia about his family once and working at the Narumi Detective Agency helped him to uncover the truth.

20:51 She's throwin' herself at Shotaro! The line about Shotaro's type gave me flashbacks to Yukie Sudo. Yukiji Bando is introduced; the driver he uses to become the Aurora Dopant looks like a classic KR belt.

This show literally not shy about showing it Kamen Rider side. The bike sequence is just top tier.
A bit sad that Terui still not show up yet.

Coming off the Garo Anime trilogy, seeing a mostly 2D fight scene is interesting.

Interesting, unlike the manga, they didn't introduce Terui during the Toadstool confession so I think they are saving him for the Accel introduction at the end of the next arc.

Is this finally a sign that my man Shoutaro finally getting laid?

I have to say it again, unlike the Garo anime, seeing tokusatsu anime fights being mostly 2D is something so weird but so beautiful at the same time. Those Maxium Drives and that Bike scene is just glorious.

Thanks to the power of anime, we can see what normally can't in the live action ver. We all know that Cyclone can controll wind but seeing that in anime is honestly so eye catching.

I was watching the MuseAsia livestream and holy fuck the comment when WGX played are fucking glorious.

And thanks to the credit, our new rendition of W-B-X ~W-Boiled Extreme~ is called W-G-X ~W Goes Next~ by the same Kamiki Aya and TAKUYA duo as the original song and I'm fucking hyped.

And after the 3 episode ritual, I can finally say they are really committed to this adaptation and this is gonna be a great anime. Bringing in original actors and singers for the ending and insert songs, combined with those animations and production values? We Kamen Rider fan are in good hands.

Straight into the Kamen Rider action as W kicks the ever-livining #$%^ out of Road! You got to love it.

LunaJoker! I loved all the animation on Luna's stretchy arms! We even got to see LunaTrigger!

Holy #$%^! I'd recognize those jazzy guitar riffs anywhere! It's W-B-X Crime in the City! The original theme of W! Playing during a create bike chase scene in Shadow Fuuto and W finishing off Road with a Rider Kick Maximum Drive! So, so amazing :love:!

(Also, I think in these three episodes we've gotten more bike action than most modern live-action Rider shows).

All's well that ends well...Shotaro and Philip have reconciled and all the criminals have been arrested...including Chuuta, who turns out to have been after a Gaia Memory he bought and stashed in his bag the whole time because he craved the power of it. I kind of figured as much with the clues, but it was nice to see Philip put everything together and even explained Tokime's powers.

Toadstool Dopant! He actually looked kind of cool, shame we didn't get to see him fight W...but I guess that goes to show how pathetic Chuuta really is. His corrupted love for Fuuto brought Shotaro to tears.

I guess Tokime still stole stuff (even if it was only to survive), so she has to count up her sins as well and turn herself in...but not before basically falling for Shotaro and planting a kiss right on his lips. She likes how half-boiled he is! What a way to leave off before she gets into the police car. Shotaro you lucky dog.

HeatMetal cameo! I hope we see it in a full fight soon.

The Opening basically gives it away, but unlike Shotaro's other femme fatale love interests, Tokime is sticking around! Thanks to Terui (who still hasn't shown up yet) she's got a work release and probation so she can work with the Narumi Detective agency, keep herself out of trouble, and find out what's up with her.

And it also offers plenty of time for Shotaro and Tokime to bond...and she wastes no time getting into his apartment and plopping herself onto his bed so they can sleep together! Girl's pretty aggressive! It's just too bad Shotaro is too wholesome and too worried she'll end up like his other femme fatale love interests to pursue her as hard as she is him. But I hope things turn out well between Shotaro and Tokime.

Looks like the new villains have their own drivers/belts, and they know about Tokime...could she be a former member of the villains before she became an amnesiac?

Is too much Tokime a bad thing if she's an amoeba that keeps multiplying? It sure seems like Shotaro has no problem feeding her though.

People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Godamn it! Fuuto Pi made this so great so far even it's better than manga, probably it's peak action this season. People must watch it right now.

What a lucky that half boiled boy is getting a kiss from hot white-haired waifu like Tokime. Also Rider Kick scene is so eyecatching.

I have seen it in Muse Asia YT chanel, but it was only arround 20K views? C'mon, weabs.

I'm a bit disappointed that the transformation and fights were prolonged but I guess that's the pacing of the manga, or the writers to build hype

I kinda didn't like how oversexualized Tokime is, especially now since it seems she's being shipped with Shotaro to mingle along with the cast. I kind of like the softer approach like back then


But I will admit that this new persona of hers is getting kind of charming and those tits too, too bad there's no more memory panties scene

Unpopular opinion though, Akiko (at least in this anime) is prettier

The bike chase with the new W-B-X was LIT.

RafaelCLP said:
As someone who had never heard of Kamen Rider before, I just don't enjoy it so far. It looks like a slightly more serious version of Power Rangers...

After episode 1, I thought this was going to be a bit more like Durarara. To be fair, Durarara never got me hooked because I was never interested in the Black Rider's mystery. Contrary to Durarara's Black Rider, Fuuto Tantei's witch did get me curious. Then episode 2 came, and that mystery vanished when the show just told us there was no mystery at all, it was just some technology (called gaia memory), which the characters seem to know everything about already, and basically anyone can get one if they meet the wrong people. Still, how come this witch was flying and moving objects with "her mind", when her memory shard was broken? I was curious! Except, oh, she wasn't. Cool. Mystery solved. Why hasn't the show ended yet? Am I now supposed to be curious about her past?

I will watch a few more episodes and see if it gets interesting, but so far this is disappointing.


This is a sequel to live-action Kamen Rider W, that's why they already know what Gaia Memories are.

Also, if you don't like the series so far it's better to just dropped it, Kamen Rider follows the Monster of the Week formula, so next week you will see a new mystery involving another Gaia Memory for two or three episodes.

Oh so that's why in the previous they left us hanging coz they wanna make the fight with Road flashy and that Chuuta guy is also a dopant so case closed.

But even though the fight was pretty cool but tbh I find that any scene of Tokime is more thrilling

Memories inserted organically into the body can destroy someone and get them addicted with deadly side-effects if one has bad compatibility with the Memory in question. Philip and Shotaro's Memories are purified versions only usable via their drivers. That's why Chuuta is arrested for ILLEGAL MEMORY POSSESSION.

They arent the same, the memories are a very not subtle reference to hard drugs and Chuuta got arrested because he involved himself in the black market drug trade on top of trying to murder a bunch of people through the yakuza.

Huh, I'll take W-B-X any day of the week, but I was really thinking it'd be kept till the end.

Aurora's design is a mixed bag, I do like the arms and skirt, but the head is really weak. Takes advantage of the medium, though, it would have looked far, far worse in live-action, if it were even possible.

By that logic the police could never stop someone for speeding because they are also in a car.

Slight correction, there were in fact Dopants of all W's signature Memories (bar Fang and Joker) in one of the movies.

IIRC, T1 Memories can't be used without a Driver. If they could, I'm sure Sokichi would have used Skull organically to let Shotaro and Philip escape back in Begins Night, since his LostDriver was unusable. T2s on the other hand...

No, by that logic the police would be arresting everyone just because they had bought a car. Chuuta didn't misuse his Gaia memory, he just bought one. Get your logic straight yo.

Chuuta may have tried to bargain to get the main characters killed, but, that's not why he was arrested. He was arrested because he purchased the same kind of device that the main character uses. But on another level, I don't appreciate the writer of the story trying to associate magic mushrooms with "hard drugs". That alone would make me drop the show. Magic mushrooms are healing medicine proven by science. There is hypocrisy on many levels yo.

Whatever, it's still hypocrisy. The main characters should be arrested too if the basis for which the police determine guilt in this show is possession of Gaia memories. Beyond that, I'm a proponent of drug policy reform in the united states so this just rubs me the wrong way on many levels.
