You know, as I was typing that I actually wondered how it'd work for Ramirez. It'd look really weird if they slimmed him down and left his head big before the helmet went on, but maybe they could get around it with creative use of camera angles or something.

Isn't this how they already did it? I swear they did this the first time he transforms.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:It's not normally how sentai rolls. Go-bus had it becuase it got retooled. Sort of. The culprit was probably Go-Busters's soft ratings, which Kyoryuger inherited. It seems like as part of Toei trying to boost Sentai and Rider's numbers recently, each show has gotten into the habit of doing something big and attention-grabbing around the time the other show starts. The idea seems to be to try and grab viewers who are tuning in to see the other new show. So Go-Busters's 28-30 arc occurs around the time Wizard is beginning, Wizard kicks Phoenix into the sun around the time Kyoryuger starts, and we get this arc of Kyoryuger around the time Gaim is beginning. The Space Dino arc appears to just be a big story arc built around the introduction of the quarter's flagship toy, which is traditional Sentai storytelling.

Is sentai still running against Pokemon? Fixing that seems like it would be the better ratings boost.

Yeah. And I wouldn't be surprised if Toei was working on that, but until there's a breakthrough, they're stuck with the time slot they have. Trying to build ratings via brand synergy is not a terrible idea for a short-term fix. Even when Rider's doing poorly, it's usually scoring 1-3 points higher than Sentai on average. If everybody who watched Rider as of Wizard also watched Sentai, that by itself would be enough to pull Sentai out of the Go-Busters slump.

I would hope that they're working on it, if only because if they honestly think they can edge out Pokemon friggin' Sundays, then they're even crazier than any of us could have likely predicted.

Some day, Bandai will finally stop making keys. Today is not that day. Kyoryuger keys were just announced, although at least these are coming with a sound device since the Mobirates obviously doesn't have sounds for them. http://www.jefusion.com/2013/11/zyuden-sentai-kyoryuger-ranger-keys-announced.html

I'm at the second episode of Shougeki Gouraigan!! (subbed by GUIS) and what the hell am I even watching.  I was expecting something along the lines of a more light-hearted GARO judging from the first episode, but on the second it turned into a comedy. I've also watched the first two episode of Ando Lloyd (subbed by HaroRangers) but I haven't quite made up my mind about it. I was somewhat annoyed that (major 1st episode spoiler) the main character 'died' in the first episode, and even though his actor came back, I preferred him when he was being goofy instead of glaring at everyone.

As far as Kamen Rider goes that stuff definitely has more in common with the things that came before than what came after. Still doesn't change the fact that it was made in the Heisei period. Oh no there we go again!

Yes, yes, and yes. Its primary sin is hewing a bit close to W for a show separated only by a single year (particularly the second rider arc), but it's wonderful nevertheless.

Also Movie Wars Ultimatum is great and the first Movie Wars that doesn't have an awful part, the entirety of the movie is great, and if you liked OOO, then you should at least watch that (though I definitely recommend watching Fourze first, since it's both a great series and the movie will make a lot more of sense that way).

Blaze Dragon posted:Depends on what you're searching for. People searching for ~dark and edgy~ series will hate Fourze, but if you're searching for a fun, energetic, Gurren Lagann-ish (Kazuki Nakashima is the main writer, alongside W's very own Riku Sanjou), then I definitely can't recommend Fourze enough. I loved that series. Riku Sanjo was a sub-writer on Fourze, not a head writer. He just ended up doing an unusually high number of episodes, including some pretty plot-critical ones. I'd guess it's for the same reason that Junko Komura ended up writing a lot of Wizard. Both Nakashima and Wizard head writer Tsuyoshi Kida have play writing backgrounds, and they both seemed to have a hard time keeping up with the grinding pace of a weekly year-long series. Nakashima definitely did a bit better at it than Kida, but Nakashima at least had experience with doing a half-year weekly show.

HKR posted:The actual ending is in Ultimatum, but yes. Fourze has a great ending. Fourze was a show I watched almost exclusively for the characters as opposed to the SFX. I almost skipped it because of the high school setting but I watched a random episode and when I saw Yuki mimic Fourze's "Uchuu Kita!" pose in the background I was instantaneously sold. I had to know more about a show with that kind of energy & sense of humor. I ended up caring for all the protagonists way more than I thought I would. It's especially satisfying in retrospect because at first they all seemed like they would be annoying or have one-sided personalities. So yes, watch Fourze.

I'm 15 minutes into Ultimatum and I'm loving the hell the out of it. Thank you HKR for your comment that convinced me to watch it. Also makes me a little wistful since I gave up on Wizard and I'm not so sure about Gaim yet. At least I still have OOOs and W to finish... edit: Oh my god, they did it again. I went from hating the Monster League kids to loving them in one scene. Oh, Fourze! I missed you. edit 2: I thought the Inazuman references were just an homage, but wow...

This may be better suited for the TVIV, but since it deals with Goseiger, I figured here would be fine too. Anyone watching Megaforce still? I caught up today, and there was a pretty fantastic moment. In episode 11, where they get the Goseiger Super Mode (never saw Seiger), there's a monster that summons previously defeated monster. The problem is, only one of the five he summons is from an episode that wasn't cut. Then, sure enough, the Halloween special comes around and the monster in it turns out to be one of the ones that was supposedly already dead! I guess I shouldn't be expecting too much continuity in a show that's almost over but is still using a villain from the first 15 episodes of the source material. I'm sure that'll be a real climactic final battle.

Megaforce did have that monster saying the rangers had beaten his cousin previously so I mean I guess that's better than nothing. It's still really lovely and them being lazy and not wanting to use another monster suit instead though.

Also I don't blame you on giving up on Wizard, it's a really dull series. Even in Ultimatum, I was crying for Fourze to start while watching the Wizard part. I have hope for Gaim, though! And W and OOO are great series and you should finish them, even if OOO gets a bit dull during the mid-part.

I'm in the Wizard part now and all the same feelings are coming back. I like Haruto and the fight choreography is actually pretty sweet but everything else around it is just not captivating. (And who is Poitrine...oh...what?) My unrealistic dream is that Gentaro shows up and befriends all the Wizard characters and somehow they all instantly become incredibly likable and interesting. And yes I'm watching this very slowly. Between having an 8 month old and work it's hard to indulge in my foreign children's programming.

Also, it was pretty funny to find out that the friendly robot they saved in the last episode actually exploded at the end of the Goseiger episode. Which was 41 of 50, as I believe will be followed up by 15. Goddamn that's some selective editing.
