Kamen Rider Fourze

The Power of Friendship!

I honestly wanted to do a review with a positive view of this kamen rider. Because this is genuinely good. For real, even the overly comedic performance of the actors was very entertaining to watch. It has everything: a good message, nice fights, good protagonist, good directing and a good ending. Of the ones I saw, between Kuuga, W and Fourze, fourze managed to be more competent in history development, relationships, and villains, than the other two. It has a more lighthearted approach to things and a very charismatic protagonist.
Seriously, watch it. It's childish and silly, but it's extremely fun to watch. Especially in such difficult times that we are.

Story: Not the best KR story line I've watched/seen. Didn't make me question or get confused or excited.

Acting/Cast: Pretty good. Fukushi Sota did an amazing job as Gentarou, he was hilarious!

Characters: All likeable, none you could hate really. They all had flaws too which was good ^_^ My favourites were Ryuusei and JK =]

Music: Pretty good! I especially liked the Battle music ^_^

ReWatch: Nahh once was good enough for this season for me. I'd only ever rewatch it if Yoshizawa Ryo doesn't get any roles in the future.

Overall: Plain story and the comedy is the only thing that bring it along really. The comedy is the best part about the show! I was dying of laughter every episode xD

IT'S SPACE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since this Kamen Rider show is the Power Of Friendship type I say it's a pretty good show. The story was alright to me.

what I like about it is how the production was flawless of showing you what friendship really works on each episodes.

The choreography of the fights are great.

The characters are really good, fun, and goofy.

like I said the story was alright to me but the comedy of the other hand makes it chamming how the characters interact with each other.

If you guys are into the Power Of Friendship troop then this will be your show to watch.

Ikou ze!

Kamen Rider Fourze is decent, harmless, and at times fun. In many, many Kamen Rider shows, the main character is influenced by those around them, wishing to protect others and cherish the bonds they've made and such - but it's funny to finally watch a character literally state they use the Power of Friendship to win. Gentarou's charisma leads to a fun main character and a fun Kamen Rider. It's a series that has its charming moments - there's some funny lines here and there and overall the series has a nice and light tone.

Unfortunately, I feel like the writing sort of stumbles. Many of the characters in this series don't really feel like they grow or change other than maybe one. While I praised the occasional comedic quip, a the comedic styling in Fourze is the part of Tokusatsu humor I dislike - characters making a big dumb stupid face and loud noises and looking at the camera. Two of the main characters in this series cannot go a scene without doing this. To be 100% honest there's many scenes in this series that are just straight up annoying. And if you've ever wanted to see villains explain literally nothing about their plans until the final like 4 episodes of the series and just sit on their throne going "hmmm yes everything is going according to plan" while in the meantime every one of their subordinates gets their ass handed to them by a high schooler, this will be the villain for you.

One thing I do have to praise, however, is the suit design. I think the suits in this series rule. Fourze's design combining a rocket ship and an astronaut is genius and really stylish, and Gentarou's personality shining through a Kamen Rider suit by the suit actor is very fun. The concept of switches is fun and leads to some unique uses of powers and abilities. Kamen Rider Meteor is a fun design - I'm tickled at the fact that they took the most joyless dude in the cast and gave him a form that's inspired by Disco. And the suit designs of the Zodiarts and the Horoscopes are really great, too, leading to some fun villain design.

Overall I feel like the series is fun and has some moments I'll recall fondly but is marred with some rather annoying recurring gags and has an ending that feels rushed.

I admit that this was my first Kamen Rider. Since I like school themed dramas, I wanted to check it out. And, it felt like those dramas-anime that I've watched when I was a kid. There is the main story, with the bad guys all mysterious and dark, and there are the small adventures that the hero has to overtake in every episode. The CGI were bad, though this one is an old drama, so it is expected. Some of the costumes were bad as well. However, the performances were really good. And some of the cases were nice and entertaining to watch, though others were just boring. So, 5 out of 10.

ter amigos é muito bom.

Eu já vi muita midia que fala sobre amizade, muita mesmo, chega a ficar irritante.
Mas eu acredito que Fourze foi a primeira dessas midias que realmente me fez acreditar na amizade. A premissa é simples e até meio generica, mas ainda assim é executada de um otimo jeito.
Os personagens são a melhor parte de Fourze, mesmo só tendo dois riders principais, ambos são extremamente memoraveis e uma alegria de se assistir. Gentarou é um poço-sem-fundo de carisma que torna todos os membros do Kamen Rider Club em pessoas melhores atráves de sua amizade e Ryusei é um personagem misterioso cujo a storyline te agarra até seu climax génial, que serve como o ponto mais alto do writing de Fourze.
Se um dia eu tiver um filho ou filha, vou querer que ele veja Fourze.
