The Kamen Rider Gotchard Video | This is NOT a Review

[@Marcosatsu]

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS WRONG WAY, IT'S NOT BECAUSE "It's just episode 1," I was talking about my feelings with Reiwa as a whole. Mrs. Satsu says hi

[@coxaciel]

Hi Mrs. Satsu!

[@geeshep4836]

I JUST THE FIRST EPISODE AND IT WAS OK JUST OK.

[@yoshikibu650]

Going into Gotchard I had super high expectations because of all the other Reiwa riders. The show had everything set up to be awesome, it just felt like something was missing. Maybe because I didn't feel anything from the main character yet? He feels kinda hollow unlike someone like kabuto, forze, 01, and geats that just pulls you in. Don't get me wrong though, the visuals in gotchard hit all the right notes, it just felt different from how a rider is usually introduced. It felt like the star of the show was the magic and not the rider itself.

[@grizzakaful]

I personally think that after the frustrating series of Geats, to me anyway, this is such a breath of fresh air and return to what makes Kamen Rider good. I will give it a shot and let it cook as they say. We'll see if it can reach its mark or if it falls short.

[@AlvinRaditya]

I swear to God I thought "Am I getting old" also after seeing Gotchard

[@themoldeater]

Manchildness issue

[@eduardoserpa1682]

Gotchard feels alright, I think it's just the pain of keeping up with a slow buildup, low-stakes series after Geats and Revice (which had an insane amount of moving parts almost from episode 1 to the very end).

[@DragonStar524]

I'm guessing people aren't hyping Gotchard as much is because Geats is still fresh in their minds.

[@puneetsuperstar_official12]

Gotchard Nonsense

[@facelessfan8203]

I like the overall visuals and vibe of Gotchard so far. While I did have the thought of “Am I getting old.” It didn’t stop me from enjoying another new season of Rider. I’m here to see what Gotchard has in store.

[@Roler42]

Decided to come here now that the show is almost over and the fact I tapped out after the arc where Spanner gets his rider belt to say... I don't think Gotchard's problem is that we are getting old or a Reiwa problem... I think Gotchard is a genuine downgrade after how amazing and juicy Geats was. I rewatched a bit of Fourze because that one took me a bit to get into aswell, and I can already see the problem: The show is completley dry of character, the cast has personality and quirks, sure, but they never go past that, it makes the story repetitive. It's like toei made a Kamen Rider version of Power Rangers Megaforce... "Chemies are tools!" "You're wrong, they're friends!" "I'll never accept you as a Rider or better than me even though I get my ass kicked all the time" "I'm the quirky preppy girl and this is my shy anti-social nerd friend and his quirky AI!" "Let's chase those trading cards!" "Today we learned a valuable friendship lesson!" Rinse and repeat... Also in true bad writing fashion, plot elements are introduced OUT OF NOWHERE, like suddenly Spanner parents show up! But wait, they were dead all along, and now he has a super duper legendary evil power that will make him permanently evil unless he's reminded of the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP! I really wanted to like this show but it became a legitimate slog... At least Gavv is looking far more promising.

The biggest plague against gotchard is that it happened to come after geats, arguably one of the best rider season of all time. So then this expectation of it to be as good as geats is implemented.

[@caswellweird]

Not for me, Geats was extremely ok at best. I think Rider is way to varied in opinion for that to ever really play a factor with more than a handful of people.

[@-Seaheart-]

Geats was one of the best KR seasons until the last 1/3 of the show where it drastically dropped in quality for me, it was still overall ok tho

[@kamuireina9868]

I thought the first episode was "Safe". The episode played like this. Boy meets girl. Girl is actually apart of some group. Boy meets ancient hero. Ancient hero gives him mission to save the world. Boy accepts because he's got nothing better to do. Again it's safe. I'm being judgemental here, I'm sure more episodes, characters and world building will change my tune.

[@ziadconnolly057]

For having taken a deep dive into toku it's a bit odd how limited proper western releases are, think you'd want to talk about Gotchard almost staying up on the US youtube for more than a day? i love the reiwa shows so far but seeing as 01 was the most memorable i'd love for more shows i could introduce as starting points instead of feeling like there's a wall of a season to push through

Once more episodes come out, Gotchard will either be regarded as one of the most average or one of the most underrated. I'm hoping it's going to the latter.

[@danielgeronimo5538]

Controversial take, but I'm liking Gotchard already than Geats. Geats was fine too, and I love Keiwa. But I miss the time when my Kamen Rider fights for people's smiles. It has problems, but it improved itself over time. Also I miss Blade, and the acting overall reminds me of it. I consider that a plus.

[@neilisawesome2333]

As a KR fan who've been into the fandom for 4 years, Gotchard became a favorite of mine due to the fact i like Yu-Gi-Oh

[@brianwagner2776]

Even before the preview as the leaks were popping up I was getting 'ghost vibes' from this season, and yet I... don't know how to explain why I feel it that way? There wasn't a solely bad or horrendously mediocre reason for this gut feeling to spring up from before I even watched, but even as I did watch the first ep it just felt weirdly samey, like I already watched this before...

[@tedjomuljono3052]

His "talking to chemy" gimmick is already currently used by Gira, and Kingohger is still airing, back to back with this, making Hotarou's version looked like a cheap imitation of an already rather cringe quirk

[@kamuireina9868]

"Ghost" vibes is what I got, from the first trailer and episode. Hopefully Gotchard doesn't end boring like Ghost was.

[@Tasty_Tango45]

@@kamuireina9868the only thing boring about ghost was the characters lol, the plot, action and suits were all there you just either liked it or you didn’t 🤷🏽

[@Zeromaru42]

Funnily enough the Drive to Ghost feeling is kinda the best way to sum up how it feels going from Geats to Gotchard. Like it's going back to basics but I'm not sure if it's for the best or for the worst. I'm seeing the red flags of a Ghost type season. Dope Suit and Pre-Series Debut good or decent actors but uninteresting plot and overly toyetic gimmick with a main character who either is uninteresting but inoffensive or pisses me off, and a Supporting Cast that saves the show to varying degrees though it's not really obvious in this first episode.

[@tedjomuljono3052]

Gotchard is what happens when the suit, premise/plot, gimmick, action, and music is serviceable, but the actual main character and main heroine felt like a giant dud, which makes watching it harder than if everything else is kind of all over the place but it has a really solid cast i.e Donbrothers

[@Zeromaru42]

Donbrothers was all over the place but I'll be damned if it wasn't fun to watch. I love that they went the entire show with no roll call only to finish it with a Roll call but with Gotchard it looks cool and a little all over the place but it doesn't grab my attention the same way. That's my main problem with this first episode. In some ways it kinda does things a little better than Geats Intro did but it also feels like a step back in a bad way. Like it feels like it's trying to pull a Fourze but Fourze did it better. It kinda feels like Gotchard is a return to basics type of series, but I don't know from this first episode if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Suit looks great and the effects are still good once we get to the Henshin but it's clear to me, at least in these first episodes that this is a series exactly as it is on the Tin. That's what makes it a little bit of a shock for me going from Geats to Gotchard I think. I honestly don't know how to feel about the series yet. It just feels kinda like Fourze but doesn't have the same charm to it starting out. Except with Fourze even if Gentaro wasn't the best main character the supporting cast was so good it made you want to keep watching past Episode 1 and I don't really feel that here.

[@MarcoFD]

i checked out the first ep yesterday, but honestly it didnt grab me, and it coudnt be more obvious that the guy at the start is the "lost father" of the protaganist and the guy who's face was obstructed in the family picture.

[@trevonh4139]

If Fuga is the "lost father" wouldn't Hotaro recognize his own father?

[@madhouse2594]

The guy is actually Rinne’s father

[@ashikjaman1940]

Haven't seen Gotchard's premiere yet (or Geats's finale lol) so I don't have any thoughts on it yet. But it seems like to me that people want Rider to do what Sentai has been doing, aka setting everything on fire and doing something really different lol

[@MrRobot-0]

I mean king ohger is defitely peak sentai while donbros is peak dramatic comedy. Having a season like build or drive again would be great for rider right now.

[@lildaffy1695]

Didn't Saber did that in a borderline way already?

[@MrRobot-0]

Kinda. Having new ideas is just part of equation having a plan to how the new dinamic plays off and pulling off this plan are other parts that saber really did not have. Think more on early 01 before the thouser Arc.

[@tedjomuljono3052]

@@MrRobot-0 gotchard seems to be peak mediocreness, there's absolutely zero "oomph" factor when watching it, compared to Donbrothers, or Kingohger, or even Zenkaiger's pilot episode, there doesn't seem any attempt on being different here, aside from the all female villain group, which was a first for Rider(if you don't count Neo Black Satan from the Girls Remix spinoff)

[@MrRobot-0]

@@tedjomuljono3052 Yeah, and it's likely the reason of the general reaction for the series being more or less an "eh?". It can be a great series the same way kiramager became a great sentai an proto king ohger afther they dropped the whole "leader" thing pre hiatus. But im not holding my breath for a build level show.

[@willemdefrend]

I feel like when compared to everything Sentai has been doing since Zenkaiger, Kamen Rider has been relatively safe. Which works for now, but I don’t think it will last forever. I guess to me seeing Gotchard and then King-Ohger’s new episode made me realize how much Sentai is really trying to push the limits of a weekly toku show while Gotchard is just like “eh it’s Wizard fused with fourze”

[@-Seaheart-]

Gotchard feels more like “Fourze at home” to me. It’s not the light hearted tone that ruins it it’s the fact that it fails to be captivating while being whacky and lighthearted and I say that as someone who loves Fourze and zero one.

[@totallynotgibby9008]

my initial reaction to episode 1 was blade meets zi-o meets digimon, idk if that entirely makes sense, but I stand by my statement lol

[@20stardust]

It feels way to soon to fully judge a show based on just the premiere alone. Hell some of the KR series I’ve watched I didn’t fully get into until I was 12-15 episodes deep, but then I was IN. Only time will tell, but I’ve been super excited for this series and I felt like a kid watching my saturday morning cartoons again.

[@Roler42]

Lemme tell you right now Marco... You are probably the nicest toku critic I've ever seen, lol, what makes engaging with fandoms exhausting for me is that it's impossible to talk about stuff in good faith because fanbases are always torn in half, something is either the BEST thing ever, or it's the WORST mistake to ever happen and shame on you for liking it. You not feeling gotchard is actually ok! It's fair, even valid, lol, if we stay in Reiwa, so far this is the most "chill" premiere episode for a Reiwa show, compared to Aruto saving a theme park, Touma saving an entire neighborhood, Ikki saving his family, and Ace remaking the ENTIRE FREAKING PLANET, so I can see why people aren't feeling the hype, I actually had to spend some time to digest it myself! But in my case... I'm just gonna keep watching because I want to see where it goes, I'm going to enter my mid 30s in 6 months, and let me tell you, at this point in my life I have lost the ability to care if the media I watch is fully hyping me up or not, Gotchard right now is going for a slow burn lighthearted kind of story, and that is scratching all the right itches for me, and that alone feels enough to wake up early sunday to catch the subs early. Keep up the good work!

[@kood995]

I'm very new to this franchise, and I've watched only a handful of seasons all the way through. I am very interested in Gotchard because of the alchemy motif. Even though they already dropped the misinformation that the goal of alchemy was to turn various metals--lead in particular--into gold, I am interested in how deep the references go; they've already referenced those cryptic diagrams of birds flying in and out of beakers, so the references can only go deeper.

[@DragoMegidra8380]

I love Gotchard's suit the metallic looks fresh

[@megabusterm17]

I had the opposite thought, "this show makes me feel like a kid again."

[@spider59er35]

My whole thing is that first episode is that, while it has some moving parts, it is extremely reminiscent of Fourze, just with (as far as I know) less experienced actors Suffice to say, I would have reacted better if I watched this when I was also in high school lol

[@zirotsero6951]

there's a bit of irony dividing heisei and reiwa................ it's that i can't tell the difference between the 2 unlike other eras

[@lildaffy1695]

One thing for sure is that they improved one aspect in the Reiwa compared to Hesei is the fight corepgraphy and the camera work.

[@freshjay3]

I on the other hand has been enjoying the Reiwa era. Zero-One is my favorite Kamen Rider. I was looking forward to Gotchard because the suit design really caught my attention and i enjoyed episode 1. Also the Reiwa era of Kamen Rider has definitely impressed me on the effects side.

[@megatron2171]

I watched the first episode and its not terrible but it doesnt have that WOW factor. They played it too safe

[@nilenicee]

Geats not perfect but still the best Reiwa shows for me, and for that reason Gotchard feels so normal and weird, the protagonist is interesting enough I guess, the henshin is nicer than preview, the fight is good. But that's about it the world building doesn't grab me like Zero One, Saber, Revice and Geats does. Still gonna watch it for couple more episode though.

[@KaitoD]

I guess its just the more younger character and the whole "Catchphrase-y" nature of our mc is just a hard thing to get behind, kinda like Kengo from Trigger with "Smile Smile" which make me hope that he doesn't say "Gotcha" at everything, when its like a phrase or something he says every time he transforms its fine, but if its what he says at everything its gonna get old real quick, there are very few of this style of catchphrases that goes well, for example "Best Match" is good and not overused so please don't use "Gotcha" in Gotchard like how "Smile Smile" is used in Trigger And even if compared to Fourze maybe its just the style of it, there is a slight difference

To me, Gotchard’s trailer made the show look super boring. The setting looks boring, the characters looks boring, the villains looks boring.

[@goodyb0y556]

I’m new to watching Kamen rider regularly. I’m just finishing up Geats related shows and movies, but I’ve watched some anniversary movies for Revice and Zi-Oh. I wanna watch Zero-One next. And I wanna watch Gotchard after since the concept is cool and the Geats Movie with Gotchard is cool, MINUS Gotchard himself. This main character… is like what an old mangaka thinks a young Shonen protag should act like. As a Yugioh fan, he’s Yuma Tsukumo done worse.

[@cerealn00b]

To me it just feels like the Reiwa era doesn’t focus as much on the overarching plot as much as it focuses on making 1000 forms so they can sell more toys. I know the show was always made to sell toys, but after shows like Ex-Aid, Gaim, Build, and all the other seasons that had amazing plots it feels like we’re just getting joke time all the time instead of anything with depth

[@megatron2171]

Bandai demands it

[@eduardoserpa1682]

Is that really the case? I'd saythe entirety of Geats and Revice (for a while after the Daiji arc started) were way more plot focused than the first halves of W or Fourze (which are all I've seen of those atm). Gotchard just seems like a return to the slow buildup of episodic adventures we had from early Heisei 2 and even somo of late Heisei 1.

[@augustomegalindo]

[@ipacklunches]

I liked it, it seemed like a standard KR 1st episode. Which compared to Geats and its 1st episode is lackluster. I cant really say whether or not I'll actually watch the season until like episode 5-10. Side note, idk what the comment sections issue with the main character is. We've seen him once and it was fine. 😂

[@bekutama]

Now that Gotchard is almost halfway over, my thoughts are relatively the same as they were when this series was first starting. I think it has a lot of cool moments, but the overall show feels a little all-over-the-place, and I don't completely understand where it's heading. It's much more "monster of the week" than Geats was, and I think that's great, I loved that style when I was watching through OOOs. But the main three villains feel extremely underwhelming, like there's never been a time where they really overpowered the main characters and showed themselves as a threat. They feel like they're bumbling around, barely managing to keep up with Gotchard's power. The main character himself doesn't draw me in at all either; his whole schtick is that he loved Chemies the moment he came across them, and wants to be friends with them all, but all I can ask is "but why?".

[@danielduncan4456]

I think one of the larger problems here is that 'eh, it's fine' REALLY isn't the note you want to be hitting on a premiere. I like the suit and am theoretically on board with a high school setting KR, I love Fourze, ffs. But I feel like there wasn't quite enough to compel me about the characters right out the gate. I didn't actively dislike the main from the first moment like I did with Geats but it was just... another one. I'd be a bit more worried about my fading love for Toku if not for the fact that I'm absolutely obsessed for King-Ohger right now. Having a 'fine' episode lined up beside what we got this week with KO is just a bit unfair.

[@rescuehamster1734]

Reiwa is pretty underwhelming for me. Gotchard is actually getting me back in a bit because it feels like a early Neo Heisei show and I'm down for that.

From what i see its okay. It seem to be a slow burn so idk..i might come back to ot after 10 episode or so but for now I'll just watch blazar and king ohger weekly

[@FEELIKEGOLD]

So it's not just me feeling like that about reiwa lol while i can see how people can enjoy the reiwa entries (as most people prefer things that are newer, this isn't news), i don't get as attached to reiwa rider as i do to early heisei. i have enjoyed reiwa rider (i love the themes that geats covers + i love the revice character dynamics), but it is difficult to fully attach and resonate with the "vibe" of reiwa; the cinematography and subgenre shifts that happened in the late 2000s-early 2010s just arent my cup of tea. I guess i just prefer the drama/suspense feel of early heisei (but mostly kuuga-hibiki), which makes sense considering i got into kamen rider fresh out of a taiwanese drama phase lol however, i feel like i can get behind gotchard. i like the motifs and i feel like the characters have a potential to grow on me (if some of the actors improve their delivery); if i can watch fourze in uni then i dont feel like gotchard will be too much of an issue. i want to see where the alchemy theme goes with the cinematography, since geats intrigued me because of the plot development (only after 20 episodes) despite the cinematography being nothing notable for me.

[@hugh5530]

I don’t think you’re getting too old. I just got into Kamen Rider this year at age 28, and have been watching non stop (8 series in the past couple of months). I think that the first couple of episodes of Gotchard just haven’t been that good (episode 2 was a step up from 1 though). The actors are very young and honestly just not that great at their craft yet. The plot has started off quite generic (basically just cardcaptor sakura), and the characters are stock anime stereotypes so far. Nothing about it seems particularly unique or original. It still has plenty of time to improve, but I think it’s perfectly fine to admit you’re not that into it thus far.

My thought on the first episode: It was...NICE. I kinda know what's coming from a far. I wasn't gotten hit that hard personally. The lifeless portrayal doesn't hit me so bad (Accept Kudo. Man! She's that bad at acting!). The main hero is shown of his naiveness through his acting. I kinda forgive him on that. The CG is cheesy as usual-especially with the transforming sequence to which I thought "does it need to go that far?-with the chemical jar and everything?" But the rest of it, the 3 devil (sisters?) are well done. Protagonist's mother is gem to me. The old dude who died without any backstory being told is ok at acting-(but again-the flipping BACK STORY!!). I gave it C+. I don't have high hope of it. But it did somehow impress me in a good way. FORGET : I know that this show is directed by the same guy who directed Ghost and Saber. So, it's obvious to me that the first episode has his signature written all over the episode. Play safe. Set up the world. It's a meh to me, but I didn't hate it as much as I did the first episode of Saber.

I didn't get past episode 2 of Saber and 1 of Revice. Sets feel uninhabited and the pacing is choppy. Maybe COVID had something to do with it. Was also not sold on the fights and characters.

[@AltairTheGamer]

Ngl, every rider season I watched was engaging from the first episode. Gaim, Zi-o, W, Ex-aid and all reiwa ones. All of them were fun. The first episode already made it clear that the show is going to be at least a bit interesting and sparked my curiousity, that's the case for all seasons I mentioned. But Gotchard... It wasn't that interesting. I will watch it to see how good it will be, but at the same time, it was really unclear and boring. Nothing in the show made me *really* curious about this, the protagonist is boring and empty. Build is in the same boat. I wasn't able to bring myself to watch it. The first episode was really boring and I don't want to watch through half of the show until it becomes better. I hope that Gotchard will be more interesting from the next episode, but so far, I don't think I will like this as much as previous reiwa seasons. Would be a shame if it ends up not picking up the pace.

[@Nocturne989]

I don't feel like its a Reiwa thing, at least for me, because Zero-One and Geats especially were fantastic and I despite its flaws really enjoyed Revice and even Saber was decent and an improvement over Ghost. But between the lack of hype, overuse of CGI, bad greenscreen, characters that don't make much of an impact in their introductions, I just feel like so far Gotchard has been weak, which sucks with how incredible Geats was beginning to end, though maybe it's just Takahashi's talent as a showrunner.

Its is cringe... Even now 7 months later... I swear its really bad overall

[@moonrakerful]

Gotchard feels like a NickJr show for kids who are new to Kamen Rider. Very PreK rated and too babyish compared to much more invigorating and exciting KR shows such as KR Amazon, Skyrider 1979, and KR Black.

"Gotchard is too BaByIsH compared to KR Black" Literally the other plot of Kamen Rider Black besides that BORING Golgom plot: **SAVING KIDS BACK AND FORTH IN EVERY. SINGLE. EPISODE!** Also the words invigorating, and exciting shouldn't be associated with KR Black cuz that series is a SNOOZE FEST the plot is so BORING i decided to stop watching it for like a few episodes because the first 5 minutes of the series PUTS ME TO SLEEP Edit: Lastly the series that you've mentioned heavily relies on the Showa era Say, are you a *SALTY KR BOOMER WHO CAN'T STILL MOVE ON ON A SHOW WHO'S MAIN DEMOGRAPHIC ARE JAPANESE KIDS* by any chance?

You do know that Kamen Rider is...a kid's show right? Ever since the first ever 1971 series, sidenote, skyrider is the worst of the showa series, an absolute snooze fest.

I am not a fan. What kind of kamen rider doesnt know how to fight? Also a rider kick without yelling rider kick? The "fighting" looked stupid. Yes, i know what i am saying, but out of all the karate bug man fights and super sentai fights, it looks sooo crappy.

Gotchard's budget and energy were sucked by KingOhger. That's why 😂😂

[@Marcosatsu]

Rider and Sentai don't share a budget

KR Gotchard …. Meh-level “try-to-hard” vibes

Not been a good Kamen Rider season since Gaim or Forze imo

@@Marcosatsu It was surprising to me it was 2 good seasons in a row too [Gaim + Forze] Gotchard just seemed like "Oh it's a bit Harry Potter and a bit these are the KR cards you'll be collecting this year" OK Forze was a bit "What Switch have we got this week" Sell-a-toy, but I was into the charas enough I didn't mind as much
