Kamen Rider Ex-Aid (2016–2017) User Reviews

It's good if you give it a chance

[jamesarebyurn · 7/10 · 24 September 2017]

"Ex-Aid" is one of those seasons where you have to understand it from a stand-point. This is a Kamen Rider season made for a whole new audience than initially intended back in 1971. Rider fans of the Shōwa-era are going to find this garbage, but listen from a neutral source right here.

I enjoy Ex-Aid for what it is. Much like Gaim making fruits marvelous, it does the same for chibi avatars in Ex-Aid. Its story is as basic as it can be, make sure the civilians are safe from the antagonist and defeat them. Ex-Aid uses the advantage of the current CGI tactics to get away with some scenes, and for the most part, it is decent. True that Ex-Aid should have used more practical tokusatsu techniques, but given its theme, you can't really blame it.

The designs are either a hit-or-miss. Either you like it, or you don't. I will admit, it threw me off initially, but it has grown on me, and the Level 1 suits are generally cute. The only major flaw in the series is being too flashy and bright in its special effects. By episode 5, you'd wish they could tone it down a whole lot.

All in all, it's pretty decent. Ignore the designs and stick to the plot. You have just a decent or good time.

Awful suits, great storyline

One of my favorite seasons. She manages to mix a history of medicine and video games incredibly well. She is a series that knows very well how to introduce new riders without getting tired. If you like Kamen Rider and video games, just watch it.

too perfect,too good,too nice!

In my own opinion I really enjoy the show despite its my second favorite Kamen Rider of all time and also despite the direction that it have taken were the story was heading to but including the my favorite suits in the show though they do look funny. The plot of the series is having doctors who become a Kamen Rider to save patients lives is interesting enough for me able to understand a simple story. I wish Ex-aid would have a couple more episodes but we have gotten 45 but not only that the extra like the movies which were fun to watch and enjoy with my experience.

I already missed watching it

When I was getting into Kamen Rider and look at Ex-aid for the first time, I thought it looks weird because of the suits but it grew on me (same with the opening). The characters are good, the story is great, the writing is good and the acting was weak at first but got better as the show progressed. It's one of those shows were I wish it last longer and since it's 45 episodes I did wish it was longer. Overall, great show, fun to watch and worth trying out.

Its great

The suits are hit or miss either you really like it or you really hate it from the bottom of your heart but personally I really like it and the story line is sooooo good.

Great

One of my favorite Kamen rider series of all time. I wouldn't say it's the best but it has great character development and plot twists.

I just don't get it. I can't believe this has this high of a score. I have never in my life seen anything this trash and I've watched Kamen Rider Shin. This show doesn't follow any known rules that it establishes. The deaths are meaningless. The suits are some of the worst. The cheesy characters have almost no redeeming qualities. The only ones that are at least decent is Dan Kuroto who hams up Everything. Then there's Bike Man I.E. Kamen Rider Lazer I.E. Kiriya Kujo I.E. The Guy Who Wore The Hawaiian Shirt who as one of the best characters is thrown to the side. All the games are references. cute =_=. The specials effects are so in your face that they become just colors and noise. The first bugsters or "Meatballs" as I call them are laughable at best. Now if you have read this far I would like to say I enjoy me some good tokusatsu like Kyurangers and W. Pretty ex-aided for Build though (I am not sorry). YOU GOTTA BELIEVE~!~

PERFECT SEASON FOR WATCHING

[nusaiba-69029 · 10/10 · 10 April 2022]

I just love it. The songs are great. It's great to see how they give the actual game vibes like the coins, boosts and the writings 'GREAT' or 'MISS' or 'PERFECT' or 'GAME OVER'. The story is great. It starts.of as a light and funny season ( I bet no other season will make anyone laugh this much) and then turns deadly serious with the comedy still maintaining.

One major character development is emu. He starts off as a character who trips over nothing literally every 30 seconds. But with time this frequency decreases but still he is a funny character. Each character get their focus and with time grow a will to save others.

Another example is poppy. At the beginning, she stars off as a bubbly heroine with a human disguise self as asuna. She didn't affect much of the plot of the 1st arc but turned to be one of the most important character near the end.

Then the creative thought of putting game and doctor motif together. In game, life can be continued right after death. But real world us different. One death means it's end of normal life. But doctors try their best and in most cases help prevent death as much as possible. So now they're fighting computer virus kinda like the way they fight real life viruses.

With 45 episodes, this is the shortest of all neo heisei seasons but the best to begin with.

Great season and story

This season...........It has great storyline. Great characters and cast. Many people complain about the suits but I guess the suits go perfectly with the game motif.
