DoctorWhat posted:It's also clear from the roots that he's dyeing it. Maybe? But he's shown with green hair even in the Begins Night flashback so it seems like him having green hair has always been a thing in the Fuuto PI continuity, rather than him dyeing his hair between the ending of W and Fuuto PI.

On the one hand, I think Fuuto PI should be able to stand on its own and not rely on W entirely, and having its own songs that aren't fully connected to its predecessor's is a good way to do so. On the other, man the opening is terrible and using W-G-X instead works so much better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtpqhShlyyg

Larryb posted:Seems like the anime’s jumped ahead a few arcs all of a sudden (which I guess makes sense since it’s only 1 cour for now). As such, we might get the resolution to the current story here before Genm Corp reaches it in their translation of the manga. The "Whereabouts of c" arc got skipped completely, but it was also very short and not plot-relevant so I understand why, with limited time, they'd want to move to "The Closed k". "Whereabouts of c" can still be the beginning of the next season, perhaps. This episode also cuts some parts from the manga, but nothing too important, clearly for time.

Larryb posted:3 episodes left now (unless the show gets greenlit for another season that is) and since they skipped a few arcs I believe we’re now ahead of where GenmCorp is with the manga. I’ll be curious what they have in store for the last arc then. The only arc that got skipped was "Whereabouts of c", chapters 16 to 18. It was, as far as I can tell, completely irrelevant to the main plot so I can see why it got skipped if they wanted to get deeper into the actual plot. Which I have no idea about because I knew as much as Genm Corp translated and now the anime is farther than that.

Larryb posted:Is the arc worth reading on its own though? It's a short and cute arc. You won't lose too much time reading it and it has good emotional moments so I'd say it's worth reading, though I also can see why it'd get skipped.

I feel another season is sure to happen, it gives Bandai the chance to resell Kamen Rider W merch and the manga still has a lot to adapt considering it's not over yet. It was also a surprisingly pretty anime. It really did everything an adaptation should, though I wish it hadn't cut two arcs but I understand they probably thought this was the best place to end it in, since it gives a pretty good hook for the next season whenever that happens. And I hope it does, because this was some good Kamen Rider right here and it was very nice to see the W cast back, even if it's with new voices.

Larryb posted:And even the new voices were close enough for the most part that after a while I didn’t even really notice a difference. Was the announcer voice the same guy from W though? Fumihiko Tachiki, yeah. He's back as both the narrator and the Gaia Memory/Driver/weapon voices. Being a voice actor he was likely easier to get back, and also replacing him may be harder since the toys still have his voice in them.
