How do you feel about Double so far?

9/10 for now, I'm really enjoying this series, with the whole detective theme, the villains seem evil and scare the **** outta of me sometimes, and shoutarou is easily one of the best riders we had in a while. Check this out, we finally have a rider that isn't super feminine or a coward and he shows that he likes girls.
 
for me, l love the series better than decade although decade was good if they had 50 episodes, seeing the roleplaying toys have been going out of stock like hot cakes without me getting some of it lol, i would say it's really an awsome and popular show.
 
I'm only up to episode 10, but I haven't given up yet, so that's a good sign. It's ridiculous as hell, and there's quite a bit that I dislike about it, not the least of which being the Dopant (guess they just got tired of trying?), but it's fun in a kind of silly way and at least it doesn't take itself too seriously. Some pretty good action, too, when it's not tripping over it's own special effects (FFFFFFUCK "Luna" Memory). Also, I can't say I've exactly taken to the giant monster forms or the dumb vehicles Double uses to fight them, but so far that's been pretty minimal. The detective/noir concept is kind of hit or miss with me because I'm a gigantic fan of pulp detective fiction, and while I enjoy catching some of the references to the classics, I feel like it really just doesn't mesh all that well with something as outlandish as Toku, because for that to be a viable combination (which it's not), one of the genres has to be twisted almost beyond recognition, in this case the noir angle, which I find unfortunate. I'd probably like it a lot more if it were just a J-drama focused on the mysteries and the agency, but for what it is, it's not so bad.
