My thoughts on Surprise Future are pretty close to what I think of the show in general: pretty alright. It's not quite on the level of the Double and Fourze movies, but it had some decent action and story beats that put it above OOO's, Wizard's, and Gaim's movies.
The weirdness of their relationship is how they keep stating how they're "partners", but most of the show mainly has Krim keeping secrets, being a stick-in-the-mud, and sometimes outright being a non-presence. Most of the stuff that I really liked about Krim was mainly from the first couple of episodes from the show (when his identity was under wraps and there were less characters to focus on) and anything concerning Banno. Drive's movie war segment (in Gaim/Drive) and Surprise Future were some nice exceptions, though.

I saw a couple of clips online, but now I planning to get it when it comes out.
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
Around the middle of the Charlotte/Becky promo that came before their match.
I mean that more because we never saw the car aficionado side from Shin he supposedly has. He has some cool moments bonding with Krim in the later half of the show, though it's hardly Philip x Shotaro levels of partnership.

I have no idea to be honest.
The idol girl with a name similar to Hatsune Miku?
According to the KR Wiki, her name is Miwako Kakei. The only source linked there is Japanese Wikipedia which I can't read.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
The one police dude who was oddly hard-assed (and suspicious enough you thought he was a Roidmude), he was probably a celebrity too right? At the end it sounded like he was shouting his catchphrase or something.
Japanese movies love these weird cameos though. I know like the Pokemon films even get dudes to voice the Pokemon---and not the ones that talk either, like getting a judo star to go "Hippopotas!".

One step closer to Kamen Rider, right...right? ;_;

The new design is more along the lines of 3 and 4.
I hope he fights like in Showa vs Heisei: slow and heavy, but packs some serious punch. Is that really Fujioka himself in the suit, or the suit was made to match Fujioka's current physics?

Probably the second? I think he stopped being his own suit actor after the accident back ok KR1.
That, and he's almost 70 years old. No matter how well he is, that suit looks heavy.

So they never really explained why Chase's Signal Bike won't work on Shin?
New Rider #1 would look 674% better without a colored jaw. The six pack could be more subtle too.
By the way, the new Ganma commander design is sick.

Three Reds?! Kobayashi is kicking herself for not thinking of it.
That's certainly one way of getting around the "kill me to be the Last Ninja" twist. Essentially "we are all the Last Ninja now".
I predict how next week will go down.
Bouncing all over the place?

They all kill Kibaoni, Kyuuemon kills grandpa, gets the End Shuriken, powers up to that form in the preview, becomes the actual final villain. No idea how Gabi or the wife will play into it though

Surprised they didn't get what a tanuki statue is, or maybe that was the joke?

The suit is clearly designed so that it looks like current Fujioka transforming into the Rider. Probably Okamoto in the suit, since he's the dude they call for hefty characters.

It kinda makes me think of Batman Beyond, the suit Bruce Wayne wore when he was an old man before he chose Terry to be the next Batman.
If someone is willing to make an image... I'm not so good at Photoshop.

It's a shame that Ore never got to use its actual fighting style in-show.

Same here. I tried once, and it failed.

I would but I'm not good at picking quotes and such, I can only do generic banners and shit (if you've seen the work of my OTs)
Kamen Rider 4 web series
-I enjoy seeing more of Yuuto and Takumi seeing how little screentime they got in the Kamen Rider GP movie.
-Kamen Rider 4 has a pretty great design (the air pilot motif all feels very natural and almost something that would've been done in a Showa-era Rider show). Though my one complaint is how they skimped on the opportunity to give him a human form (and feature Eternal's actor as another rider).
-Huh? What? Did they just
? I know this will probably be disregarded by the time the next spring movie comes out, but it still came as a shock.

Well, the newest scans for the Rider 1 movie only show Rider 1, Spectre and Ghost. The leaked location pictures have only shown Rider 1, Ghost and maybe Rider 3. There's nothing hinting at another All Riders team up yet. Of course, that's just chapter 1 of the Super Hero Year, so it could happen later on.

Just got finished with Ghost 15. Necrom is taking their time appearing, and its a bit ass that
. Hope it doesn't become a habit in the series.
Javel is revived and back despite getting BTFO

It only has fansubs from a certain group, unfortunately.
Sadly, TV-N is the only group who did this.

So, the Ganma are immortal? Or just
Onari "befriending" Goemon was funny, hehehe.
Makoto
Houdini is cool, good to see the secondary rider get a decent new form.
Good episode overall, next week we'll finally see Necrom.

Makoto
isn't actually human? He became something else? Or was that only my impression? Kanon's reaction when she saw Aran makes me think there is a bit more to this whole situation.

The Ganma are... ghosts. I don't get why people reject that idea so much. People have referenced them as ghosts in the show various times and have never been corrected, and we had the Ganma talking about how "living bodies" are just tools to them a few weeks ago.
