looks good so far!
MELON ARMS!

Wow, that was badass! The show had better be as good

I like what I'm hearing of the theme song. Also looks like the belt still has sound effects, but it's less talky.

This actually looks kind of...epic!

Strange how in the first video we got of Gaim, the driver voice sounded cooler. This is one weird. It's another rider belt that speaks engrish. The production value looks great. I'm hoping this show can break off the trends with have been getting with the bi weekly victims episodes. And the Gaim's henshin sequence is absolutely stupid. I hope the other riders' henshin isn't gonna be like that.

Is that Hochu Otsuka as the narrator? If so yay!!

Seriously diggin the designs and belt voices.

But for the themesong, I honestly thought that with the story, theyd be going for a bit more hip hop in the song.

the henshin pose kinda looks like fourze

FRUIT ON!!!

Whoa a horse?! DAMN!

Is the narrator Otsuka Honchu (Deneb)? It sounds a lot like him....

So far so good.. can't wait to see durian arms transformation...

Newton is glad that he was under the apple tree when he discovered gravitiy. Else he might be experiencing death if it's a durian fruit directly on his head.

I have a feeling I will be confused as f*ck when this comes out - I mean, for the most part I'm still not understanding the whole 'fruit'-themed warriors concept. (*Let's go Dragonfruit Arms/Wizard Dragon Style crossover!)

Iv been on this shows side from the get go nothing here that would changed my mind.

fruits never looked so awesome before, especially banana

I think the show will be good! These previews are really cool. Henshin's pretty weird but awesome!

The only series to start the trend (fruit themed heroes),expect more future sentai or metal heroes that based on fruits lol

no complainers yet im suprised.

i havent seen a kamen riders series yet that i didnt like.so im looking forward to seeing this one. but i will miss the kamen rider wizard series when it ends in a few weeks.

I'm probably the only nay-sayer here, but this doesn't really interest me at all, and I don't think I can take the fruit motif seriously.

I'll pass.

We still haven't seen the full henshin sequence, but I already wanna compare it to Den-O's.

Bryd0 your not the only one

sorry but even if the opening and
trailer looks good....NOPE.

Looks like Gaim will have to settle for a horse until he can get his hands on a motorcycle. Oh well. As long as he gets one eventually (and by eventually, I mean somewhere in the first 5 episodes, not in the 25th episode like Hibiki).

I hear ya. However, I had the same thoughts about Kyoryuger when the first images and trailers and came around. Now it's hands down my favorite Sentai Series. Topping even Gokaiger and Jetman. At least give it a couple of episodes. I think TOEI realizes how incredibly "Dull" Wizard was and is attempting to step it up a few notches. The trailer looks SICK!!! I hope I can enjoy Gaim despite the fruit/dancing theme.

I know a fruit theme is uncommon and is usually not the first choice for a serious motif, but I like it anyway. Sorry, I'm not a guy who judges things from the surface and stops there. It's a nice change of pace in a genre that mostly turns to motifs like animals, vehicles, animals, elements, animals, jewelry, and not to mention the countless instances of animals. I admire the suit designers for daring to be different and going against the grain. I only hope the fighting and the drama more than makes up for it. Even if it doesn't, I will still keep my mind open to a fruit or plant theme even if everyone else refuses to ever take it seriously.

When i first heard about the fruit theme i said to myself "what a stupid idea, is toei out of their mind". And now, i love the fruit concept, even though it sound stupid but they have make it look awesome. I'm looking forward to the show. Hope it won't disappoint me like wizard.

Hmm. There's blood coming out of the protagonist's mouth in what seems to be a dire situation. That must be the promoter's way of telling us that yes we know the fruit theme is somewhat silly but take it the wrong way, this is indeed a serious show where the stakes are high. Or maybe, I'm am just reading too much into this because I want people to stop complaining about the fruit motif and stop saying how they refuse to take it seriously. I think you should watch at least the first episode before you judge. I just hope the show makes a good enough first impression.

Nah.. hope you'll like it and take back that words, the show's been pretty good so far join us.. fruits are healthy (lol)

the haters can just go back to watching power rangers megaforce.

If ya can't take the fruit theme seriously I get it. But I still think it looks cool and the multi-rider thing is interesting. You're not a hate if can't take the fruit theme seriously, but I'm gonna give it a chance. Especially since the writer is Urobuchi

It looks better than expected but... "the strongest Kamen Rider", just like Kyoryuger are "the strongest and bravest team"???... that is giving me thoughts that Super Sentai and Kamen Rider will take "a break" after this to series.

I dislike this new Karmen Rider series. GAim will be the worse Karmen Rider series EVER. I can not right Kamen Rider when typing Gaim in it. This show is just horrible and btw Power Rangers Megaforce is much better. I just got nick so I can not wait to see the new season start. Just glad Digimon doesn't have Fruit Monster Seed Devices

Okay with the fruit theme and the sword in the belt, an I the only one making a connection to FRUIT NINJA?

Stop trolling (by getting one group of fans to turn on another for NO reason). People like you are ruining this site.

Wow, I didn't expect the trailer to look so badass. The music sounds really cool and when Gaim was riding that horse, automatically I thought Shinkenger.
so far so good, but it looks like the protagonist won`t already be a rider but like become one by accident (kinda like Eiji did in ooo)

Yeah JumpTheShark is right! Listen to the guy who talked shit about it from the first image and is bashing the series before it even starts.

But seriously though? Kamen Rider started based around INSECTS! We've had everything from Dragons to beetles. And this guy is SAMURAI based too. Are you really telling me you can't even give the show a chance even with the promise of multi-riders and a samurai motif?

@Anonymous JumpTheShark

You truly think haha Mega Farce is a superior show to KR Gaim when Gaim hasn't even aired yet? Fuck me dude. 10 seconds of the Gaim trailer is leaps ahead of Mega Farce. Go troll another blog. Henshin Justice will fix up you GOOD.

Doesn't the voice for gains belt sounds a lot similar to stag beetles from kabuto?

I agree with @deensaid. It is too early to start judging the show before we know much about it. I suggest waiting untill the show starts to judge to judge it @JumpTheShark

@JumpTheShark If you hate this "Karmen" Rider so much, then please do us all a favor and just shut up! Seriously, "Karmen" Rider, WTF!

^Thank you.

First of all mr. JumptheShark or anything let me ask you a question (hope you can reply me ASAP), what does bothering you about Gaim?

Story line? Series doesn't premiered yet.

Characters? So far I think it was refreshing and I can say I gladly accept it.

Premise? See Story line.

Suit design? Yeah I know it was awkward and weird since it was a fruit theme but I love it and everyone loves it, the suit was extremely badass and made out of the box (trust me I'm graphic designer).

Merchandise? Same thing with suit design here but who care, I still love it either.

Unless we don't know the plot yet as well as story lines and premise yet, we cannot judging to early. We need to wait one month before the first episode so you can judge whether it was good or bad.

If you feel good, then I'm glad for you. If you feel it really suck, then go watch PR Megaforce as you suggested. Simple as that. A wise man told this, "never judge a book from its cover".

Most critical thing, before bashing Gaim, consider the past Kamen Rider series in terms of design (I don't know if you watch the series yet, but you get the point).

When the Kamen Rider Blade first released with the helmet shaped like a deck of cards for each Riders, what's your response?

When the Kamen Rider Hibiki released that featured the Riders that appeared in Oni form, what's your response?

Kamen Rider Decade that featured a magenta-colored Rider that everyone felt too awkward for KR fans, what's your response?

Kamen Rider OOO with rider's design inspired from traffic lights, what's your response?

Kamen Rider Fourze with helmet like a rocket spaceship and a bulky belt driver and silly Astro Switches, what's your response?

Up to you to judge. But as I said before, until the series released, don't judge too early, otherwise go watch PR Megaforce as you wanted, if that Gaim bothers you a lot. Simple.

I'm done. Your turn now, JumptheShark.

Man Kamen Rider Gaim seems cool and can't wait but i really wished it didn't have the fruit theme though.
