New Kamen Rider

Dear bloggie,

Just watched the RAW for this season's new Kamen Rider.

In another alternate world where the world is powered by windmills, mysterious monsters so called Duhpants suddenly starts terrorizing and the police are powerless to stop em. 2 Man, Shotaro & Phillip battles this menace by activating their "sticks" and combine to become... Tada...

"Kamen Rider HOMO"



Okok, jokes asides... The new kamen rider is so called Kamen Rider Double, since it actually took 2 people to henshin into it. The pilot episode was pretty good, climatic 1st henshin, nice tempo and etc. Alot of question marks were raised and no doubt they will be answered throughout the series. The heroes this time is Shotaro, a sorta apprentice detective that just got promoted to the big player rank because his mentor dies on him on the prologue and Phillip, a mysterious guy that Shotaro and his mentor saved in the prologue. The Kamen Rider Double design looks quite good in my book despite the radical split colors but just gotta love the red bug eyes and scarf. The gimmick for this rider is that it can changes form by swapping USB sticks (U heard correct, USB...). Seems like each form got their own ability, so far shown 3 USB, Joker, Cyclone & Lunar. Cyclone seem to give the rider the wind power while Lunar gives the rider Mr Fantastic powers. Joker don't show any special power but instead is used for their "Memory Break" (Limit Break la), Joker Extreme, a old school rider kick with a twist the rider split into 2 riders. Only complain so far is the lack of babes, god dammit!

The pretty slick OP (Got the ol' schoool detective feel) :
