He’s here and dude’s got some HUGE shoes to fill after how well Kamen Rider W has been knocking it outta the park. Lotta non-descript black tights in that costume and a pink helmut… so far I’m not impressed, but that’s to be expected. Our fandom always goes through the pattern of, “These first images are awful!” then, “This is my favorite suit of all time!”
Anyway, drop in to the forums and let us know what you think!

as much as i trust Toei of creating a quality Kamen Rider series out of this one, i cant help but to keep my expectations down..
we’ll just have to wait for the show to start first, eh =)

Well, if you think about it, OOO is drastically expanding on W’s multiple forms
Which could be both a good and a bad thing

This drastic departure from the usual Heisei Kamen Rider designs, may due to the involvement of former Sentai staffs in the crew IMO… As with W, I recognized the different tone of the monsters….They were more Sentai-ish there…But it doesn;t mean it is bad, though. I always appreciate the creativity of TOEI in creating this kind of superheroes…:)

Really like the suit…not so wild about the helmet. Then again, I can handle a dry spell…until W came along I hadn’t liked the rider designs since Kabuto. Drop the wing-like things on the helmet and I could go for the design.

I usually refrain from commenting on the suit prior to the show. Looking back to Decade, I too, first thought that the pink suit sucks badly (from the first few images prior to the series). But heck, after a few episodes, it actually grew on me. Not to the point of loving it, but not as bad as I originally thought.
Still I wonder if they would ever go to simple but cool design, like my all time favorite, cast-off Kabuto (simple but really slick). The trend is getting weirder each year.
