Seriously, I'm kinda enjoying going into this completely blind. When the bonkers-ass stuff like that happens, it's just such a joy to see.

I watched the first couple episodes, and yeah. They do not slow down to explain anything. Not even what's going on when Phillip and Shotaro transform. They're also definitely leaning into this being a detective show, not a Kamen Rider show, by not adhering to the rule of every episode featuring a transformation.
BTW, Akiko (the live action one) is also currently in the web exclusive "Kamen Rider Jeanne & Kamen Rider Aguilera with Girls Remix" series. She was never actually a Rider, but she's tagging along with all the female Riders using her detective skills.

That kinda makes sense. She made an offhand remark about someone named Poppy... And just looking it up, she's on that show too... So that's probably who she was talking about.
The funny thing is, it's not a bad detective show. But when the time comes and they gotta henshin-a-go-go, they do not pull any stops.

and Shout! isn't the only game in town for Kamen Rider anymore.
Discotek Media has licensed Kamen Rider Black for a Bluray release.

I'll pre-face this by saying my only experience of anything Kamen Rider was...Masked Rider...and a few episodes of Kamen Rider Drive (which I did not really like so I gave up on it after a few episodes) so I'm essentially a Kamen Rider newbie. Last night I watched Kamen Rider Geats episode 1 and I really loved it. It's a weird set up thus far and it was actually kinda violent in spots but overall though, I really liked it and unlike Drive, I want to keep watching. I'm just glad I didn't watch episode 1 while Bandai had the Desire Driver bundle on sale for $50

Drive was pretty meh, honestly. It's one of those ones I doubt I'll ever go back and rewatch.
Geats visually and thematically is pretty cool. I think I have all of the buckles aside from the Legend Rider ones... What will make or break it is how well they can continue to juggle this notion of the game resetting. After they've all gotten their specific buckle, and gained new powers, you really don't want them to reset to zero again. It bores the viewers and fails to sell the new shit. Fever Slot barely got used. They've started shaking this up, and introduced a way for them to consistently get the good shit early. I just kinda hope the whole "game" aspect will at some point break down and free the story from that format.

Still trying to get all the characters and their names straight but the action scenes are pretty good. But I agree that centering all the attacks around a game can get pretty old if not done right. But I still cant figure out Ace/Geats. Show is named after him but they seem to focus more on Neon and Keiwa.

He's supposed to be kind of mysterious at that point. You get more about what his deal is and what he's trying to do later. Right now, Keiwa and Neon are your kind of audience POV characters to introduce you to everything.
And don't worry about learning everybody. The main Riders that will be ongoing are: Geats Buffa Tycoon Na-Go
Everyone else is pretty much expendable.
