You mean a female rider? We're getting one with peach arms later on. And according to rumors,
If you mean the KR Girl group, I think they revealed the Gaim chick a few days ago.
she'll have a twin that uses cherry arms.

Gaim 04
Woah, Micchy got fierce lol. When things go bad, you can always buy a new DX Driver to balance it out! And Kouta got a breakdown in episode four Don't know why Kaito made an alliance when he might defeat Gaim if he actually tried.
And there's the two-parter episode structure broken, at least until the situation has settled down, if ever.
A girl rider or Kamen Rider girls as in the idol group? I think they went into shocker or something.

Seems Guridon's Lock Seed's catchphrase is "Don't Give Up" (they're going for an OOO-thing with the english phrase that resembles Japanese word, Donguri = DoN't Give Up, I guess)
Kamen Rider Girl Girl
That was one of my favorite things about OOOs. Sun Goes Up is god tier toku music.
I am liking Gaim so much, so far. Delivering on a lot of what I wanted with the rumors. A more interesting plot than simply "one thing happens every two episodes". And riders not immediately becoming super competent after putting on the belt. Hints at an interesting backstory to the drivers, locks, and Invess. And already we have someone divided between two loyalties. It's interesting to note that the historic era has the grape rider working with melon while watching gaim and baron fight.
I hope the plot and characters don't fizzle, everything remains internally consistent, and the characters don't turn out to be idiots. This could be the first series I ever enjoy as much as, or even more than Blade.
Even the little touches like baron helping the kid out of the tree while imparting his philosophy, amazing.

Yeah, I loved the scene in this episode where Grape went to Sid with his credit card to buy and beg for a belt, but offered his loyalty by the end without having to pay a dime, all by using his family name and threatening his future.
Also, Birdie was already proven right, and it's only episode 4:

Gaim is shaping up to be pretty intriguing so far. The four main riders seem to be characterized very well and the soundtrack is good. The dancing isn't really intrusive since its more or less just being used as set up for the various Rider factions in the show. Its definitely worth watching, but keep in mind that Episode 5 is being held off until Nov 10 since SHT is going on break this week.

Sounds alright then. I'll hold off a bit longer and then either go in or go and catch up on some other series first.
I found a short Toku series thats ...well..BIZARRE. 13 episodes and its main character is the worst adult host club date in Neo Kabukicho. A really sleazy dude whose only host club clients are shut ins and he owes money to loan sharks. Seems to be fighting possessed gangs straight out of "The Warriors" or something.
Look up Lion Maru G. Shit is bizarre.
Apparently it was based after a really fucked up Manga. Its subbed and in the first minute he had already swaggered in pinky ringing wearing a white suit, stepped on a condom, pissed off loan sharks, hit on a girl by telling her he had an erection,and hit a homeless person in the head with a bottle.

Hahah I swear, all it needs are mirrors and cards and today's Gaim wouldn't be far off from Ryuuki!
Doggie always takes off his coat when he morphs. Torin can't beat that.

With Mitchy shown jealous at episode 3, how he almost idolizes Kouta, and how Ryugen sides with Zangetsu at episode 1's war scene, you know you can expect Mitchy to side with his brother at some point fueled by our good old misunderstanding.
Lionmaru G is another batshit insane Keita Amemiya show. You should check out the currently-running Gouraigan for another insanity after you finished your shows.

Has there been a well made female KR character outside of Fourze?

There was a well made female KR character in Fourze?
Depends on what standards we compare them to.

Ozawa from Agito was pretty cool.
Kuuga has em. Might consider W's Sonozaki sisters, too. Also, I forgot whether or not Kiva's '86 Queen was a great character or not, but she certainly is memorable. I'd argue that Fourze's female cast was simply too vanilla, lol.
And Mai is well-made, whether or not one liked her personality is irrelevant.
Boss Doggie

Oh yeah, Kuuga.
Miu and Tomoko are pretty good. And they may not be well developed but at least they're not annoying or plot hindering.
Yuki is I guess kinda annoying, but she wasn't plot-level-hindering type of annoying.

It's ok, but i want kamen rider out of my kamen rider shows, not htis.

Heisei-style Kamen Rider is just as much Kamen Rider as Showa/standard Kamen Rider are. It's a good change of pace too, with plot that moves, no monster-of-the-week formula, and more.

bad gameplay lol
Yep, just you. :lol
Gaim is so fucking good. I haven't been this into a Rider show since...man I can't even remember. Decade maybe? And that was only for fanservice.
(W is still the best but I didn't watch that as it was airing.)

more talk than walk for me.
I also blame the damn fruit armors. It definitely kills some level of seriousness/tension or w/e.
More 'serious' suits might have worked better here, and save the fruits for a more comical season.
Super Sentai is going to start getting expanded universe novels like Kamen Rider, and it's going to start with Shinkenger.
The fruit suits work very well, I don't even notice them. They look and act exactly what they're supposed to be in the story: Armor that comes from fruits from another dimension.

You don't notice the giant fruit dropping on to their heads every time they transform?

The only "non-Kamen Rider" element really is the fact their civilian identities were revealed right away to basically everyone in the city, but even then previous series were a bit vague...like Fourze would always transform once everyone cleared the area, but it seemed to me like everyone in the school more or less realized it was Gentarou but didn't really acknowledge it most of the time.
Although it bugs me no one really seems to treat Kouta like a celebrity when he's walking around town, even though it seems most people would know who he is by now. I really hope Mitsuzane experiences fall-out at his school when they see the footage of him transforming and they don't ignore that plot point.

And the juice that squirts out when they finish transforming...
That's part of the transformation sequence. I notice it the same way that a giant ring of fire appears when Wizard transforms and a huge tornado happens everytime W transforms.
The huge amount of smoke that blew away anyone near him when he transformed probably had something to do with it too.

How about the floppy shoulder pads they all seemingly have?
Rider fights are dumb.
I don't like anyone in this show except the DJ guy but that's not enough for me to enjoy the show.
Lack of 2 parter format would be appreciated if I cared about what was going on week to week.
I'll give it to movie wars.

I have to say, this show is VERY effective in making me crave fruit, is anyone else feeling that? I've always liked fruit, but this show gives me a craving for it more than usual. I've almost even tried an orange even though I hate them.

I'm actually happy the monsters are a side attraction now. That was actually fairly common in some early Heisei shows, like Agito and Ryuki, and after Wizard I was really tired of all the monster focus, when they didn't seem to be able to do anything with it. Two episodes with multiple battles for each one was just too much.

Tsuburaya Productions needs licensing money, and Animoca Collective will put out any game, anywhere.
Queen was a good character in a shaky arc with a predefined ending. So she went from 'flirtin' with disaster' to 'shaking hands with danger' in record time.
I'm all caught up on Gaim now, and while I'm enjoying it so far, I somewhat agree with chickdigger. Everyone's talking about what they have to do or what they can accomplish with the new Lock Seeds and Warring Drivers, but the show's a slow burner and only a few characters have even started to do anything they claim they want to do, so all this self-aggrandizement comes off as a little pretentious to me, especially since every named character (except Sid) has been doing it so far. I know it's part of the story, but I still don't like it. And Akira's little spiel about doing work that helps others was really irksome, for some reason. She's a pencil pusher, for goodness' sake. It kinda takes the sheen off the show for me.

I dunno I just really really enjoy the show so far. It's a breath of fruity fresh air and honestly the fruit theme doesn't stick out to me that badly, and I can really dig some rider vs rider action now that we've had like 4-5 years without any of that stuff, I'm glad to have it back. I do agree that at this point the show is a slow burn, but I get hyped more and more every week and I feel like once we get to the genesis driver stuff with the energy lockseeds, shit is going to get very real and it's going to be awesome when it happens.

New spoilers about Gaim going around 2ch (related to the "kids will hate orange juice by episode 14" comment Gen made)
Whenever they transform, the Riders lose part of their life force (presumably this is why juice squirts out of them.
The Genesis Driver causes Rider vs. Rider battles to become ante battles, the winner absorbs part of the loser's life force.

Aw shit. Well that would make sense for a lack of monster of the week.
I don't think most of the series is concerned about hidden identities. The last one to be concerned is Shotaro in W, and before that you had to go back to Hibiki and Blade. It's the same with why did the police did jack shit about the weekly threats in the city.
I don't agree with the slow burner, unless you compare it to other KR which establishes the rider on the first two episodes then proceed with the MoTW while slowly moving the plot. I don't see the self-aggrandizement except from Mai and Akira, which is a response to Kouta not sure yet of what he needs to do with the driver.
We'll see how this goes. It could be shit in the end, but it's worth noting that it's been so long we can have an actual discussion about some elements in Kamen Rider, so I guess their intention to change the formula has been successful so far. Whether or not regulars (we, that is) like the new flavor remains to be seen.

So it IS Ryuuki after all!
I wonder if we'll get a bullshit lock seed that uses time magic.
