BEFORE WE BEGIN LET'S WARN YOU THAT THIS JUST MY OPINION, NOTHING OFFICIAL, NOT TO BE TAKEN PERSONALLY!!!! ALSO THIS HASN'T BEEN RELEASED IN THE STATES (AT LEAST NOT YET), SO THIS IS FAN SUB ONLY. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LEGAL TROUBLE!!!!
STORY:
Like Magiranger (Power Rangers: Mystic Force's Sentai counterpart), The main theme is Magic and Fantasy, complete with magic creatures, magic spells, dungeons, dragons, wizards, witches, donuts, the works. In this case it takes place in modern day. The main character is Haruto, a magician who loves donuts and has a bunch of rings on his hands. The show is based on the four classic elements, Water, Flame (Fire), Hurricane (Wind), and Land (Earth). A ultimate Evil known as the phantoms come to earth, Via a magic ritual. Haruto works at an antique shop and one day becomes Kamen Rider Wizard. He puts his hand in front of his Stupid Looking Belt (More on that later), and get's a big as gun that turns into a sword. As Linkara said, Guns that turn into swords are AWESOME!!!! He starts out with his flame form, but later turns into Water form, Land Form, and Hurricane Form. He has 4 robot animal buddies, which are a garuda, a unicorn, a kraken, and a Large Dragon. A Phantoms (the monsters this time around) comes and destroys something precious to the individual, Wizard goes to that monster, fights it for a bit, and Rider Kick's it to HELL!!!! The person starts breaking, Wizard comes inside that person, and he finds the monster. Once he finds that monster, he chases it, defeats it, and kids come home happy. Yep, It's miles better than Fourze (that I haven't watched), The monsters are better, The story is better (Oh god, Fourze's High school), and it's the overall better series, but still it isn't as good as say BLACK's Story.
CHARACTERS:
Sadly this section is cut short because only 2 characters are given any development so far. Haruto is a the badass, and main protagonist. He has a motorcycle, a gun that turns into a sword, a bunch of rings, and a stupid looking belt. I like Haruto, he's a better main character than Gentaro. Seriously, Screw that NERD!!!! The villains are the phantoms which are based on legendary creatures, like minotaurs, and medusas. Like most Heisei era series, they take over other individuals. Yep these characters are better than Fourze's. Just watch and see.
PRESENTATION:
You know, Kamen Rider's Effects haven't looked their best since the Showa era. It looks more and more like a video game with each passing series. Showa didn't have to rely on heavy effects, mainly on action. The stupid looking belt doesn't look any better, Just look at it, It looks like a Children's toy since it's so BLAND!!!! Since most later heisei era Kamen Rider Series rely on collectibles (Since that's the cool thing to do in Japan nowadays), This time around it's Rings with special powers like shields, flying, teleportation, Etc. I like these rings, they add to the fantasy feel of the series. Kamen Rider Wizard has a cool trenchcoat with him, adding a more Sci-Fi feel to the series. The technicals aren't perfect, but they're still good.
OVERALL:
This is a better rider series than Fourze. The Designs are cool, The story's better, But the it's not without flaws. The Belt's stupid, the effects are cheesy, and something is missing that other Kamen Rider series has. I Give this series 3 Wizard Power Rings out of 4.
Next time, I don't know.
PS: Am I the only one who finds the hip hop bits to be even the tiniest bit annoying (Not to mention they have to say please after every spell, Come on, IT'S NOT A DOD DERNED DINNER TABLE!!!!), also I apologize if this review seems rushed, It's just that only 3 episodes are subbed and I want to have more free time for myself rather than Z Grade Internet Nobody blogs. Sorry :(.
