The Smart Brain corporation aims for world domination by using Orphnoch, an evolved human species, to wipe out humanity. They create Rider Gear (Delta, Faiz, and Kaixa) to protect the Orphnoch King, who can cure their DNA flaw. After the Gear is stolen by the Goat Orphnoch, Hanagata, he gives it to his foster children, the Ryuseiji, to stop the plan. However, humans can't use the Gear without genetic modification. Takumi Inui becomes Kamen Rider Faiz to save Mari Sonoda, a Ryuseiji, drawing Smart Brain's attention. Some Orphnoch side with the Ryuseiji, and Tokyo police investigate murders linked to them, unknowingly getting involved in the conflict. The Orphnoch King awakens in Teruo Suzuki, a boy befriended by Naoya Kaido and Keitaro Kikuchi. The Ryuseiji must unite to fight for humanity's survival. (Source: kisskh) Edit Translation

This show takes forever to pick up, it took three attempts to watch this show and I finally was able to grip it enough. It's painfully slow and the characters feel so one dimensional. However when it does pick up it gets good, the fights and costumes are really well done. I can't really speak for the effects as this is an older Rider series, its pretty trash but still fun. It eventually gets slow again before it zipping itself off a bridge with its MASSIVELY ANTICLIMACTIC ending. Nothing gets resolved. One of the worst endings to a riders series. However if you do stick around you will find some enjoyment. I don't blame the actors for this, they did what they could but the story itself suffered greatly. Good everything else but the lack of plot and slow points hinders this series greatly. Man... Kusaka was the worst too.

555 is good, don't trust a gray like that other reviewer on here for it.

The show is absolutely the best of the early rider shows that aren't Kuuga, and it slaps so hard only peons could hate it. The best Inoue work outside of Hibiki's second half. And maybe Changerion. Or Jetman. He really wrote more good than bad.

Anyways, Takumi is genuinely the best protagonist and its great how Kiba is an alternate protagonist as well. People who hate Kaido, Mari, Keitaro? Weak. All better characters than most Kamen Rider shows, which usually suck, lets be honest.

Also, Kusaka did nothing wrong.
