Introduction
Shoutarou Hidari, a hard-boiled private investigator from the Narumi Detective Agency, lives for the sake of protecting the peace in the city of Fuuto alongside his inquisitive partner, Philip. One fine night, Shoutarou encounters a mysterious woman named Tokime, who is soon linked to several cases of homicide and theft. Shoutarou's investigation leads him to people using "Gaia Memories"—memory units similar to thumb drives holding vast amounts of data—to turn into formidable beasts called "Dopants." While the majority of Gaia users were put down by the detective team in the past, a number of them still remain, posing a great threat to public safety.
Once more, Shoutarou and Philip, Gaia users on the side of justice, must fight as Kamen Rider W—the renowned hero safeguarding Fuuto—to eradicate the nest of villainous Dopants, all while uncovering Tokime's true identity and confronting the long-forgotten past.

Fuuto Tantei/Fuuto PI is an anime sequel to 2009's Kamen Rider W and this is a show firing on all cylinders with love for the material it almost transcends the fact its all in 2D.
Just absolutely amazing to see Shotaro and Phillip on adventures again with all their endgame expertise and this show is seemingly a Shotaro focus show since Phillip was most of the focus on W. its the coolest hes ever been depicted while still being a bit of a goof, but ooooh a new mysterious hot lady to take advan-oh shes a new addition to the cast? Tokime is cool as a new assistant.
The ability to structure it fully around different types of mysteries since its not following a formulaic tv shows rules. The murder mystery mansion segment of the plot was so cool.
Did I mention this show is FIRING ON ALL CY…

Kamen Rider is... better than the things you like. There are no words to describe the satisfaction you get out of watching some japanese dudes using weird belts to transform into superheroes and fight monsters every week for the sake of love, peace and human lives. And it's no surprise that Kamen Rider W, with it's themes of comradery and deciding on who you truly are, has become one of the most celebrated entries in this 50+ years old franchise. What is surprising, however, is that this one show has not only gotten a sequel, but an animated one as well.
Fuuto PI is here, ready to continue W's story from where the finale left off (or better, from where the post series movies left off...), and to expand on it's characters and world building. Being based on a manga written by W's own head…

Fuuto Tantei is a detective based on Kamen Rider W , in fact its the sequel to the Tokusatsu show of the W so yes you do need to watch Kamen Rider W if you want to watch this anime , is it ? well yes , the monster designs are great , the hero himself Kamen Rider Double looks good in 2D animation , this show is short and sweet , its the gold start for any newcomer to Kamen Rider anything , would you need past information ? yes just the old show Live Action show , Noting more , I wish the show was longer than 12 eps , the show itself does somewhat feel like KRW to me

The stories they investigate are always well structured and are developed at a good pace, setting the anime apart from others in the investigative genre.
The main characters, at least in this first season, didn't get much depth, so it's kind of complicated to comment on their design, but it's easy to say that they are all at least interesting.
It's cool to comment that the series is a spin-off of the television series Kamen Rider, which is a Japanese media classic.
I really liked the style of animation they delivered, as it was well done and synthesized the overall content of the anime very well.

If you are a Kamen Rider fan like me, this is legit an anime for you to watch!
The anime is really good but still sucks its only 12 episodes so far and leave us on a cliffhanger which hopefully it will continue in 2023 maybe. It's also interesting that now its doing 3 episodes this time instead of 2 episodes on the whole cases which is not bad since it will pull out a plot twist that someone else is involve in the crime scene and stuff but man does the action look so good!!! Even the transformation sequence is legit insane!
Would I say I recommend this anime? Yes and No!
Reason being is because this is a sequal to the live action series Kamen Rider W. So if you watch the show already then yes you can watch this anime causes if you don't you're just gonna be hit with alot of question and…

What is there not to like. Its Kamen Rider and Anime. Literally everything about this is amazing. If you haven't watched Kamen Rider W it is a Must watch before watching Fuuto tantei as it is a direct sequel. Everything not possible to do in a low budget action packed Live action T.V. show that plays in the mornings before going to school, That is exactly what this is. Growing up on Kamen Rider blade, Ryuki, W, ETC; this anime is everything awesome about Kamen Rider and then some. Its got the dark, enthralling story, the classic Henshin sequence, Monstrous bad guys, the "Balls to the wall" Explosive(literally) Fight scenes, and last but not least amazing soundtrack. This anime's biggest failure is that it isn't running for 50 episodes that has a spinoff movie before that final few episodes…

This doesn't have a good rating here but I love this because I am a fan and watched W weekly religiously as it aired. 2009 to 2013 I was addicted to Kamen rider, W being favourite from my gen. Den-O is the best one tho. anyways I think anime fans can't appreciate it enough at all because they're basically watching something without any foundation so. I don't have a point but what I'm trying to say is this truly does hit different as a fan of the original show.
Story is mysterious not predicable at all and new characters are cool but little lacking for sure. 12 episode is short so hope for more episodes but that's on the Japanese fans and it's not accessible to little kids so unsure if it'll get it.

It's so good to see Kamen Rider W after all these years and the personalities of the characters have not changed one bit during these years. This show shows the potential of a sort of "after story" of these heroes after the main series have ended. I look forward to a Season 2 if they decide to make one. I fully recommend this show to anyone who have watched the original series back in the day and for any Kamen Rider fan of the Heisei period.
The story was intriguing as well as the art style; it really made the 3D characters shine brightly as much as their real life counterparts.

Fuuto Tantei is a detective story. Nothing more, nothing less. Well, maybe it's a little bit more because of the Kamen Rider stuff. I don't know anything about Kamen Rider culture in general, but the idea of two dudes being genius Power-Ranger-detectives is slightly-outlandish-but-entertaining, if nothing else.
I was immediately drawn into this show because of the amazingly jazzy soundtrack, complete with badass sax riffs and an incredible ED (including the visuals!). The animation and art style are also pretty interesting because of the constant transformations that have to do with their Kamen Rider identities. The voice actor (Tachiki Fumihiko) behind the transformation sound effect deserves a raise because anyone else sure as hell wouldn't be able to make a USB stick sound badass. Barr…

As someone who has watched Kamen Rider before and having Kamen Rider W as my favourite one out of all of them, I really enjoy this anime series although it's such a shame that it consists of 12 episodes only :') [like if you compare it to the episode of the Kamen Rider W live action, 1 eps of Kamen Rider W takes about 3-4 episodes of Fuuto Tante (if you get what I mean)] But anyways I really enjoy this anime series a lot that I really stay tune to every Monday for this one ><
Will I recommend it or not? Honestly, I prefer for those who haven't watched Kamen Rider W live-action to watch that first before watching this anime because in the anime you can say that you might not understand some parts of the scenes, so yeah, if you don't want to get confuse to whats going on, I recommend to wat…

tl;dr if you like KR W you will love this, if you haven't seen KR W then I HIGHLY recommend watching that first
Are you a fan of Kamen Rider W? Are you itching for more of it? If the answer to even one of those questions is yes, then this anime is for you. It's essentially an all-new story that is set after the original series, featuring the cast you know and love.
But first, for those who are unfamiliar with Kamen Rider W: I highly, highly suggest watching it first before you go into this. The anime just assumes that you've seen all 49 episodes and 2 movies of the original series from start to finish, so it does a little amount of effort in refreshing your memory. Some major things are just straight-up unexplained because they've already been touched upon in the tokusatsu, and there ar…
