Kamen Rider Wizard Episode 01 – The Ringed Wizard Discussion

It's finally here!

Kamen Rider Wizard has aired and your usual suspects have it ready to download sub-titled! This episode had it all - guns, swords, dragons, and pretty ladies! Fans of Kamen Rider OOO will love the fact that the Wizard Driver makes a lot of vocal announcements ... my personal favorite being Shabadoobie Touch to Henshin.

So why don't you Shabadoobie Touch to Discuss this episode with the rest of your Kamen Rider Wizard fans here at TokuNation.com?

So excited!

Shabadoobie!

I think we should change it to Shabadoobie Click to Discuss...just saying.

Oh, Toei, how you reward my patience. This series is utterly amazing.

One of the ways I judge whether a piece of fiction is successful is whether it gets me to want to buy the toys. Wizard succeeded in under the first minute when Haruto PULLS HIS MOTORCYCLE OUT OF A SEAL IN MIDAIR AND LETS IT DROP TO THE GROUND OH MY GOD THAT WAS SO COOL. I was going to get the motorcycle and dragon set anyway because of the combination (which was AWESOME), but that was one of the coolest things I've seen in Toku in ages.

Also, I'm liking the familiars. When the Garuda and Kraken collided in mid-air, were they doing a sort of fist-bump or were they angry at each other? Either way, I liked it.

God i am gonna LOVE this series

Haruto is fantastic, he is a blast to watch, he just has that air of arrogance to him that guys like tendou and tsukasa had that i just love for the main rider to have, the suit design is fantastic, the choreography is amazing, overall this show is gonna be a blast and i can't wait for the next epsiode.

oh, and donuts are good

I'm gonna stick by my original assessment. I'm going to love the heck out of this series, but man, do I hate magic.
The music is great though. Love the opening theme, sounds a whole lot better than that YuGiOh ED the band did.
The choreography is kinda funny with this one. Doing a backflip to dodge a horizontal slash? Okay.
Plamonsters will take time to grow on me. Not as interesting as previous buddies, but I guess the Unicorn riding scene makes up for it.

The first episode did an all right job keeping my interest. We'll see how the future episodes go. Fourze, as much as people disliked it, really had me pining to see more in the first handful of episodes and didn't lose me till the 10's, only to draw me back in during the 20's.

Awesome. Looks like another fun ride. Managed to snag a set of the new toys as well, can't wait to get them. Love Garuda and all the belt sounds, even the henshins look cool. Can't wait to see if kick strike varies based on whichever style Haruto is currently using.

I liked it
