Initial thoughts of Kamen Rider Gaim

It looks like a fun video game-like series. Not too serious. Caters to somebody, whereas recent Saban or Gobuster, which catered to nobody.

It establishes a city that does not quite look like the Japan we see in every other Kamen Rider series, with more liberal lifestyles (extracurricular dance vs conservative forms of studying.)

In contrast, I think Kouta's/Kamen Rider Gaim's actor does not deliver when he has to do serious acting. Kouta's not a good character, not even that interesting of a character: just one that caters to child and child-like fans.

I wish it catered to older fans too, but in such a terrible age of Tokusatsu, one cannot be so greedy. I personally do not really care for the series, and just fast forward to whatever joke or toy shows up and save myself a lot of time with this series.
