Zaido... well this may be a jerkass move but Zaido is that awful. I had my thoughts on Zaido seemed promising but no, just no, it's just plain terrible. Drama-wise and Toku-wise it is sloppy. Seriously, it's probably worse than Kalish's writing Operation Overdrive. Zaido may be forgivable with its effects but the way it was written was stupid. So where are the monster of the week? Where is all the intense drama? It's not even done properly as it's just plain dragging too. Zaido is a disaster that GMA-7 should NEVER repeat. Seriously if they want to make their won Toku, they better watch more Kamen Rider Heisi era to see how it's being done... and do it weekly. Philippine TV really stinks with how it goes these days. =P
Heisei Kamen Riders at first, I was pretty biased on them at first (living in the past) but I began watching them starting with Kuuga, Den-O, Kiva and the most recent is Agito. I would say they do somehow feel like a J-Drama for me but compared to the disaster that is Zaido, here's how I think they got it right: The drama elements of Kamen Rider are being plotted out well while not compromising what Kamen Rider really is- a kickass battle every week, a monster of the week (in most cases, monster every two weeks tends to be where it goes) and really has fast-pace moving action. Kamen Rider Kiva for example was drama heavy with all the love triangles, the Fangires and the humanity of some, some unraveled mysteries, etc. which all make a good TV drama are tied in well with the elements of Kamen Rider. So fans don't get disappointed with the drags that Zaido had, they get to see real kick-ass action and see things unwrap in a way that sci-fi drama would.
