Until now, only one more Rider has been shown in scans, Kamen Rider Claws, who transforms using the Dragon Full Bottle and a special adapter on the Build Driver so he can transform with only one Bottle. This is almost definitely Ryuuga, everything points to him being Claws later.

Well, maybe 50/50 on Blood Stark or Spider. He's definitely not Night Rogue, that's gotta be Government Boss.

It's the latter. Magazine scans have given Build exactly 10 Best Matches.

I agree with Boss is a martian theory. It would explain the powers that he and his daughter have relating specifically to the Pandora Plate they have.

Magazine scans Showed Build, Claw (a dragon based rider), adn Night Rogue. Blood Cobra or whoever wasn't in preview scans. No idea what's gonna happen.

I was talking on IRC about the Build reveal and Az brought up a good point, that this reveal is so early and the pacing so quick probably to get a big narrative hook to keep the audience invested enough to follow the series once the timeslot changes. I wouldn't be surprised if the show eased up a bit once the slot change happens, but I hope it doesn't slow down too much.

Why is the time slot changing? Did Ex-aid not do well?

Additionally, Ex-Aid True End BD release date.

I hate how long it takes movies to come out, I want you guys to see that drat movie. (I also want to watch it subbed.)

Is there a documented reason for why Japanese DVDs come out half a year after the movie? Half a year at the earliest, I think Your Name took just under/over a full year from theatrical release to DVD but that's also because it spent most of that year running in theatres because it was an unstoppable juggernaut.

Kyuranger also had a cliffhanger this week, so it's likely.

Part of me would be intrigued to see Build maintain this pace and another part would be fine with Sento and Ryuga (feat. Misora) just dicking around for ten episodes because they've got some fun chemistry, like W. I guess that means I'd accept it if it slowed down just a bit. Ryuga is almost useful with just the Dragon Fullbottle and is really doing his best, so I wouldn't even mind that much if Claws took a while.

Watch Build with us! :D It's only four episodes in, once you're caught up it's just 25 minutes a week and you get to read all these fun spoiler posts.

I may be in the minority though as I enjoy watching things week to week rather than binge watching, since I can easily carve a chunk of time each week for one episode of one show. Binging requires forcing my indecisive self to decide what to do today between playing one of the twenty games I haven't started yet, continuing through one I'm already playing, watching a show/movie that I know is good but just haven't gotten around to, doing something productive like cleaning, ect ect...

Thank god for that, characters that can be funny are so much better than characters that are supposed to be funny. Ex-Aid had the Director but he had limited presence and could be a serious Good Dad sometimes. When shows force in comic relief, it tends to be either embarassingly bad (Wizard - Shunpei), or entertaining but resulting in a character that doesn't get to develop at all beyond that role (Ghost - Onari.) I suppose Otta in Drive bucked that by developing and being entertaining, but that is because Drive was good.

Oh god, I agree. I'm still lamenting having let Concrete Revolutio's season 2 pass me by, because now it's probably never gonna happen. Which means I've got to make a decision on Build fast. Hrrn. It's late at night rn but I'll try it tomorrow.

A mild problem with Build already being accepted as good and also being this plot loaded means that there's not going to be something that shocks everyone as much as Ex-Aid episode 12.

I am glad that Build is good at the start, having to say "you gotta hold out, it get's good x episodes in" is actually not a positive

Episode 4 speculation
the boss is bloodstark and is a double/free agent. Misora is DEFINITELY some kind of faust project/Martian, so bloodstark stole her away from nightrogue and is either keeping his cover to protect her or being blackmailed by nightrogue over it.

JoJo.txt. It's a pain having to say "you really really should not skip parts even though not only are the first two and a half parts rough but they don't even resemble what it becomes and is widely known as".

Also, with anime in general, fans tend to move the goalposts when someone says they got that far and still didn't like it. It's like, not everything is for everyone, jeez.

Part 2 is really good though.

Also sometimes series just need that time to prepare to get good, and then get really good. It's better when it doesn't happen, sure, but even big series like One Piece had slow starts. I just accept it as something that happens now. That said, it's good when it doesn't and I'm glad Build's going all-in from the start, I just hope it doesn't run out of steam because of it.

Then again, the bad guys sure love their steam, so we should be fine in that particular area.

Which is why I wasn't harsher, but I think rough is pretty accurate. The series hits a groove in the second half of part three, then is slowly refined into "modern" JoJo with part four.
