Shows to Check out: Kamen Rider W/Double

Kamen Rider W/Double

Story: n the ecologically-minded city of Futo (Fūto), where nearly everything is powered by windmills, the people live in harmony. However, the Sonozaki Family sell mysterious devices resembling USB flash drives called Gaia Memories to criminals and other interested parties who use them to become monsters called Dopants, committing crimes with the police force powerless to stop them. To make matters worse, the Gaia Memories carry a dangerous toxin that cause their users to go insane to the point where they could die from the life-threatening devices. After the death of his boss, the self-proclaimed hard-boiled (actually half-boiled) detective Shotaro Hidari works with the mysterious Philip, who possesses the true Gaia Memory, to investigate crimes which involve Dopants. Using their own Gaia Memories, Shotaro and Philip use the Double Driver belts to transform and combine into Kamen Rider Double to fight the Dopant menace and keep Futo safe

I've recently started watching this series, and it's very enjoyable. Granted the villains and clients aren't the best written; but for the one's that are great, they really sink you in. The heroes are also awesome. Shotaro is a cool, determined detective with regrets. While Phillip is a super genius that has a bad habit of wanting to learn everything about a subject, and I mean EVERYTHING. Once he starts, he can't stop to he has learned everything last detail about the subject. Phillip is my favorite character.

This series is excellent for viewers whom like detective, monster of the day, and/or superhero shows.

There are no DVD's available at the moment for this series that will work in a US dvd player, but two of the movies are. So I suggest going to the "Over-Time" subbing group. They have all the episodes and movies subtitled.
