Fúto tantei

My first completely unplanned glimpse into the world of Kamen Rider turned out pretty okay for me. Why unplanned? Because when I watched the first episode, I had absolutely no idea that Fuuto Tantei was set in the world of these superheroes. If I had known, I’d have probably skipped the series, which might have been a shame. Luckily, the writers managed to get me hooked by the very first episode by introducing interesting and distinctive characters. The moment I got to meet Shoutarou, who was instantly likable, I had a feeling that I would go on watching until the end. However, it wasn’t until Tokime appeared on the screen that I became confident about this series and knew that at least these two characters would make me enjoy it. And it really wasn't bad overall, though I didn't really enjoy all the fights with the Dopants. I wasn’t too interested in the concept of the Kamen Riders and how it all worked, and I was quite annoyed by how they kept loudly announcing the use of each new ability, suit activation, and whatnot. On the other hand, I got decent and interesting detective stories that had some good ideas and atmosphere (it had a cool vibe). In the end, the final plot about Shadow Fuuto really had something going for it. As I said, I’m quite happy with the series. There were things I found interesting about it which outweighed the things I didn't enjoy that much. If there is another season, I’ll watch it, if only to find out more about Tokime’s story. 6/10 (2022.10.16)
