Well, the Journey's over

I had fun watching, despite the stark differences in the vibes

The eyecatch at the end was really good too, but I have the feeling a sequel isn't coming

As the tradition for Kamen Rider, it ended with a classic Rider Kick.
Foundation X, hmmm..... It's all Decade's fault!!!!!!!!!!

Well, the ending was quite a cliffhanger. The hope there will be a sequel for this series.

Grandpa feeling guilt for making landmine parts unknowingly is really sad.
Tokime became an assistant that Shotaro can be proud of.

Accel's theme really gets me pumped up, and Terui said his iconic line too!

Those rider kicks were insane and CycloneJokerXtreme did all that while carrying Tokime.

Utopia dopant flashback!!!
Bando is connected to Foundation X? I love that this is connecting to the wider Heisei rider lore, now.

In each episode it gets better, remember the first case there's a dozen of death, dead bodies and blood everywhere, and in the final case they can save everyone (except the villain).

Xtreme really cool and op. Their decision to go full power this time was the right choice. Easily took care of reactor. Though damn that was quite the cliffhanger to end the season. I really liked this so hoping that we get new season soon. Tokime waifu.

Looks like the ending was left pretty open, but I don't think a sequel will come anytime soon. Still, I had fun watching this and it was very entertaining.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

having never seen any kamen rider anime or live action before I enjoyed this. Animation and fights were pretty much top tier, loved the transformations. Story was solid, the crime parts weren't that impressive but the overal mystery feeling was done well. The characters were ok as well just tokime who started off as the most interesting character became really boring after she joined, a sequel would be cool.

All good things end with (two!) massive explosions; a nice climax to the show. As someone whose first Kamen Rider was W, it was very enjoyable to watch despite, and also because, of the differences the change in medium brought. While I usually enjoy the lead VAs' (Hosoya, Uchiyama) other roles, neither were quite as charming as their live action counterparts. However the action scenes, and the budget afforded to the production in general, felt much more impressive in the anime. Coupled with the obvious bump in the age rating, things felt much more visceral than the Sunday morning kids' TV show this follows up on. Case in point being the Xtreme form used here in the finale and earlier in the show -- the design looked a LOT better to me in anime form than it did in real life.

I'm hoping for a second season, since I am curious enough to see where all the plot threads that haven't concluded yet will go e.g. Tokime's identity/past, everything to do with the Other Fuuto, and Bando (love his design). Not curious enough to read the manga though, haha.

The Xtreme henshin was so cool and looked great, perfect for the last episode and the case is closed but still there's the main antagonist Bando and it's a bit sad that we learn more about him at the end very end and that it ended this way like a cliffhanger, now we really need a sequel but well we'll have to wait quite some time if it happens

While I am glad we got a Kamen Rider anime, this was sort of a mixed bag of good and bad things despite giving it an 8 at the end. Lots of rider fan service gave me a blast of nostalgia, while the other part of the story had a big clash of a supernatural superpower show trying to merge with a Rider show, which didn't fit well with W.

Pretty cool finish, that. Didn't fully get that last bit but if that's hinting a 2nd Season, yes, please!

Interesting powerup there but sadly it wasn't a complete victory. Respect to the villain for giving it his all from preventing Shotaro-san and co. from infiltrating Shadow Fuuto.

Definitely enjoyed the first few episodes more but I think the show still ended off on a decent note, so it'll be a 7/10 from me. Going to miss the Op, ED and of course Tokime, lol. Her character design was just too good and some of her moment like looking for "the hole" was hilarious.

A rare case of a good translation from tokusastu "insanity" to anime "insanity".

Usually we get direct copies like for example Ultraman (2019 + sequels), which felt awkward with its typical for live action acting, timing and all overall directing. Something felt very off in the action scenes too.
But in comparison Fuuto PI adapts all those live action things to the typical visual language of anime and everything works suspiciously great and pleasing.

I extremely love Kamen Rider as a kid, seeing bugs fighting other bugs to save the world has never been any more significant, especially in this episode

HOLY MOLY THIS ACTION, it gets me in the EDGE of my seat every time, the action is pretty much highlighted here, and the characters are still memorable, as always
W Xtreme looks so beautiful, i absolutely love the rider kick.

it pretty much ends in a sort of cliffhanger, but i still pretty much like it

We now can see the backstory for Bando now, as well as a lot of stuff that Tokime wants to know.

Now that we have an Anime that can shine that Kamen light in this realm of anime, Imagine what a Kamen Rider Zi-O/Zero-One anime would look like, holy the ideas are infinite, for this case

Really fun to see these characters again but the individual stories themselves were pretty weak, it was pretty much entirely carried by the cast once the nostalgia wore off.

I think it's because it adapts a manga, a much more compatible medium

Ultraman (2019) is also a manga adaption, yet the authors of the anime tried way too hard to make it look as close to live action as they could.

The final battle with Kamen Rider Xtreme and the Reactor dopant was really good, but all we got is a bunch of exposition about Bando connection to Foundation X and Tokime's mysterious past leading to a very lackluster cliffhanger ending. I highly doubt that this will get a second season since we don't get anime adaptations Kamen Rider/Super Sentai that often because its a live action series. Maybe in another 4 or 5 years when Kamen Rider has a little bit more traction in the West outside of Masked Rider. I'll be watching the live action TV series of Kamen Rider W.

7/10.

Princess Carry with your arms whilst kicking a guy with your legs has a strong impact, I can't deny.

Well, not the best ending, or rather lack thereof. Clearly built with the intent of a sequel, which I'll certainly be looking out for and is, I think, reasonable to expect - though, not getting an immediate announcement is worrying.

Still, excellent adaptation and continuation. Very impressed with the art design, I must say, especially for a studio that didn't have the best track record up till now.
Well I for one already loved Lain.

With no immediate S2 being green-lit, I think this series will be forgotten soon (or already has been), which is unfortunate. I think i heard somewhere that Ishinomori Pro would be watching over the receptions closely to see if it was worth doing more, so I'm curious how it fared over there. Only time will tell, I guess...

I think it was pretty decent, but I can see why it won't attract anyone not interested in the premise in the first place. Though if it did interest enough people to watch the OG series, that'd be a W (no pun intended).
