Kamen Rider Wizard Episode 1 review F--K THE POLICE

well ladies and gents it's that time where I revaluate Wizard and presumably grow to love it as if nothing ever happened, well (insert Haruto voice) Sa Showtime.

We start off with exposition apparently in ancient times people used magic instead of science but as time went on people started forgetting magic until a man combined magic with science to solve a problem now in modern times there is a new mage who turns hope into despair(trust me when we get to SU reviews we'll get to that magic/science debate) and some cool CGI turns into a doughnut, and we see a guy eating a doughnut on a streetlight DON'T TELL ME AGIAN (arrow points to said man eating doughnut on streetlight with main character next to arrow) me ugh, he has a ring and a red mechanical bird is flying near him,s an angel's duty uh I meant a cop's duty and they go into there warehouse and we see corrupted Gems from Steven Universe(OK I'LL TRY NOT TO REFERENCE IT THERE WERE TWO REFERENCES I WANTED TO MAKE WITH FLAME STYLE AND WATER STYLE BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE SPOILERS) however bullets prove to be ineffective and the Police get their @$$ Kicked (good job guys) meanwhile we meet our monster of the week(no I did not skip most of the episode we are literally two minutes in at this moment we've already got our monster of the week) so despite it being kinda early you know what that means time for the debut battle of Wizard(much like Hibiki The Kamen Riders in this series aren't even called Kamen Riders they are called Mages though they do have HENSHIN POSES and say Henshin and have Rider Kicks like typical Rides)

said man refers to him as Garuda he asks if it's found it and we already start seeing the scat remixes and CGI as he pulls a motorcycle

right the f--k out of a red circle #REDRINGOFDEATH and goes to find something. Meanwhile the Police go to a warehouse and says that some workers are under attack a chief asks a girl named Rinko  if she is ready she replies yes that protecting people is an angel's duty whoops that Protecting People is a cops duty

 the cops go into the warehouse and get attacked by Corrupted Gems from Steven Universe(LAST TIME I MAKE A JOKE BUT THERE WAS A JOKE I WANTED TO MAKE WITH FLAME STYLE AND WATER STYLE THAT I COULDN'T CAUSE SPOILERS)(nah those are the disposable grunts of the season

 the police get the @$$kicked and we meet the monster of the week(no joke we are only two minutes in and we already got our monster of the week) (no I didn't skip anything watch the episode yourself this happens)

and said monster grips Rinko on her neck   

so you know what that means time for the debut battle of Wizard(The Kamen Riders in this series are called Mages they do say Henshin and do Rider Kicks though) however Doughnut man arrives with a gun with silver bullets and becomes Kamen Rider Wizard Flame Style 

and does a pretty good job on the henchmen but first lets talk about how awesome Wizard's design is while Black and Red are overdone if it means we get awesome designs like this I don't mind, after the fight Haruto

(That is his name) calls a girl named Koyomi and calls some more animal mechs called Plamonsters a rejected MLP FIM character and a Hentai monster nah just kidding they are a Unicorn and Kraken  and puts a blue and yellow ring on them respectively

Haruto then explains to Rinko whats happening people that have a Phantom within them are called Gates when a Gate dies usually from Despair a mass(nice mass wait DAMNIT I SAID NO MORE SU REFERENCES) of Magic Rinko arrests Haruto thinking she can do it on her own Haruto says he will be her hope holding a ring that looks like the Driver he uses

meanwhile the Chief that asked Rinko if she was ready named Amino

 has a bandage on his eye(forgot to mention that the Phantom Minotauros got one of his horns cut off) and then Minotauros goes to talk to two more Phantoms that are in charge of him Phoenix and Medusa

 

Koyomi one of Haruto's helpers

takes Unicorn to Haruto's jail cell while the chief(sorry Amino wasn't the chief) says that they cancelled the case while Koyomi notices something weird with Amino meanwhile Haruto uses the Connect ring to get the donughts(using magic like a boss) and then Unicorn makes a small hole and Haruto uses a ring to shrink himself

then Amino, was talking to Rinko asking her about why she became a cop Rinko says it was because it was her father then Amino reveals he was the Minotauros Phantom all along and destroys Rinko's necklace big shock Rinko was the Gate that Minotauros was after the entire time, Haruto arrives just in time to save the day, Haruto activates the Driver 

 pulls out a Ruby themed Ring and becomes Wizard Flame Style again and the fight begins when Minotauros likes to play dirty Wizard gets a Topaz themed Ring and becomes 

Land Style and uses a ring to create a rock wall 

and then pulls out the Sword Gun and an Emerald themed Ring 

and becomes 

 Hurricane Style and then slashes hime with cool CGI and then gets back to flame style and uses his Rider Kick 

unfortunately Rinko is bout to die so Haruto uses the Engage ring

to go into her subconsciousness to stop the Jabberwock phantom within Rinko Haruto then calls his own Phantom the WizarDragon

 however Dragon has a mind of it's own and then Wizard calls the MachineWinger to combine with Wizardragon and then 

 Haruto gets the Sword and finishes the job off. now that Rinko is saved and cannot use magic she clears Haruto's record off and agree's to help Haruto by helping Haruto and the group find potential Phantoms and Gates.

Final analysis B+ the subtitles were a little dumb though that may be because I watched TV Nihon as usual next week we get into the annoying part of this series(by part I mean character) I did have fun and maybe I may like this series when we are all done.
