- TriviaAt the auditions for Agito. One of the finalists of the title role was Yuusuke Kousaka. He's the son of Ryo Hayami, AKA, Kamen Rider X. Toei had a policy for main actors family members not to be involved in front of the camera in a key role, possibly to avoid cases of nepotism. Eventually, his family history was unearthed and Kousaka was disqualified from from the auditions.

Featured review
Yup, I wrote it, this is better than the mediocre (and, accordingly, uberoverrated) Kuuga by a mile in every sense of the term. The writing is better, the suits are better, the combinations of suits and different weapons are better, the minions costumes are better, the fights are extremely well coreographed and gripping, the humour is genuinely fun and not contrived, the characters are more interesting and better fleshed out (in particular check out the hardass Ozawa Sumiko as one of the strongest women I've seen until now in tokusatsus period), the more psi-oriented angle is better than the boring police procedural stuff of Kuuga which is leaps and bounds far better served in a IP like Ghost in The Shell than in a superhero franchise like Kamen Rider especially considering the influence on the latter of the classic series Kamen Rider Black - the same influence that is clear as day here too - etc. Etc. The only department in which Kuuga was a bit better in my book was the music during the fights, which was directly rooted in death metal while here is still metal but not death metal, but for all the rest Agito takes the cake in every possible way. Personally, I would consider this series the true start of the Hensei period of Kamen rider, with the previous one serving more as a prologue for things to come and a way to remove the rust from the blade after a decade the production for the franchise was stopped than anything else. It's no Kamen Rider Black, but it's highly recommended nonetheless.
