Also I feel like the OP should have a note about KRDL in general. You need to register a username with an email, but they're generally the best place to get DDLs of individual rider episodes, if you don't want to mess with torrents/batch files for older series and weeklies. Also, here's a magnet torrent link someone on /m/ compiled a while back of all of Gomen Rider's Agito sub, saving it from the depths of internet hell! EDIT: added the Fourze movie. TV-N doesn't get a link because they don't make it easy to single out from their other Fourze releases. Monathin fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Mar 31, 2013 |

Also, the May'n solo of Giant Step was posted near the tail end of the last thread, so it'd be remiss not to open this one up with Shiina's counterpart solo. Especially since it's, in my opinion, the superior version.

Sodomy Non Sapiens posted:Just finished Gokaiger. That was pretty drat fantastic. I do feel that the climax of the show happened with the final duel against Basco and everything afterwards was just a very quick mop up. The final fight against Emperor Gil on the Gigant Horse also felt a little flat and underwhelming, until they took it Earthside and ran through every Sentai team throwing everything at him, that was a nice finale. Finish OOO, then go check out Kuuga, which it borrows like 70% of its themes from. (The other 30% is Blade, but I'm loathe to recommend Blade due to only TV-N subs.)

You can practically hear the writers in Decade going 'poo poo, WHAT DO WE DO NOW' at about the halfway point when they run out of Rider Worlds to visit. The staff is entertaining on their own, which is good because for the most part the show barely holds up at times. Also, Decade and Decade Complete are some of the worst suit designs outside of Blade's base form. Luckily, they also hearld they end of the giant restrictive shoulder armor era.

Yeah, from what I remember, most of the various notable solo subbers ended up working with most of the bigger groups. Megaanon I think is working with Grown Ups In Spandex right now? I dunno where Ryuganon went to offhand, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's doing work with you guys at O-T.

RBX posted:Thankfully the story, opening theme, Rider design, and Phillip make up for everything. My friend was over today, he doesn't watch toku, I asked him to watch episode 5 with me and he was like "So the girl and boy join bodies? Does he get tits under the suit?" Really, my only complaint is that it feels like the direction of the main villains in the show was scattered everywhere when we finally start facing them directly. They don't really give much expansion on what they want to do and if I remember right their super bad endgame has like three different meanings to it  Thankfully, the acting on everyone's part is top notch and you can largely ignore the villains even have something resembling an endgame for a while.

In Gaim news, Urobuchi gets to talk about Gaim a bit. I find it pretty interesting that he's drawing more parallels from Black instead of Ryuki, but honestly that has me pretty excited.

I'll have to have subs to make better sense of it, but I get a kind of Kuuga-y vibe off Gaim's first ep, which is pretty neat. The dance/Pokemon battles are pretty neatly intertwined, there was at least one scene that was purely Urobuchi (the one where the two guys were talking and they handed off a Sengoku Driver.) and all and all it looked pretty drat great.

Serperoth posted:So basically it's gonna be subbed by Aesir. Haven't seen any of their stuff, but Magenta has always struck me as pretty cool, and a good translator so I'm hopeful. As mentioned in the first paragraph, Magenta and the Aesir crew did their own release of Fourze concurrent with O-T's Fourze releases (which, naturally, had HeatMetal on them). I kind of liked Heat's overall translation of the dialogue better, but Magenta's ability to nail character voices is second to none, such as using the royal we for... Aries, I think it was? Which was utterly perfect.

The first episode has a very Kuuga vibe, and I'd say that Kouta is current shaping up to be a sort of balance of Gentarou and Godai. I'm looking forward to following this week to week. It's gonna be a lot of fun.

Fred is on posted:Kouta, at least at first glance, seems to fall within the selfless happy-go-lucky main Rider archetype, but the adulthood angle is an interesting twist, and I'm trusting Urobuchi to handle it well. It does seem odd, though, that he'd pick that as a central theme when the main target audience is made up of kids. Urobuchi was a big rider fan back when the demographics weren't necessarily kid-centric. It wouldn't surprise me if he's making this a kind of show that anyone can watch.

Larryb posted:Considering there was a next episode preview at the end and we still haven't seen KyoryuSilver yet I'm guessing no. Probably getting close though, I'd say maybe 13-14 more episodes at the least(or maybe less considering how quickly this show's plot seems to be moving). Go-Bus had a full 50, and Rider tends to sit at around 48 or so. So I'd say that sounds about right. As long as they don't pull a Wizard, we should see the end by late February/Early March.

That "THEY GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME" comment is especially hilarious since Magenta's verbal reaming of their recent Gaim eps have been causing them to release V2s of them. So you can't even say that they're doing things right currently compared to their previous disasters like Blade and Shinkenger.

Midnight Crew did the first six, but as I recall a lot of them were hosted on Megaupload so when the feds took that down most, in not all of the files were lost too. So no, TV-N's the only subbers who've touched Kabuto.

Assuming that Tokkyuger continues the rather historic tradition of Good Mechs From Train Designs, we might actually see one of the first not-quite-cumbersome sentai mechs since... hell, Shinkenger? I think all the mechs since then have been kind of clunky as hell. I just want good toku mech choreography.

Shinkenger was kind of the hearld of goofy rear end cumbersome as gently caress mechs in my eyes, and while we have never again reached Shinkenger Parade Float tier, most mechs since Shinkenger happened have been a degree of unwieldy and clumsy as gently caress.

Potsticker posted:If I recall correctly, there was some trepidation over the Gobusters suits because they were moving away from spandex. Kyoryuger did have some naysayers at the beginning too, the lattice on the arms and the sash/shoulder pad looking weird to some people. I can't see how anyone would dislike the faux-leather suits for Go-Busters. Those were probably one of the better suit designed, between them and Gokai. I was a little worried about the cheststripe on everyone's favorite dinosambas, but that worked out well enough in motion. I'd be much happier with the suits if the design on the chest was either black or white, and not alternating between them, that's really what makes it look like rear end to me, from a knee-jerk perspective. The rail visors are kind of cool, and at the least are sorta passable as a functioning helmet design. The mech toy looks like cheap plastic and rear end, and I have basically 2 hopes for it: 1) The non-symmetrical all-vertical style to it means the trains combine on the tracks instead of in the air or something. 2) The mech fight choreography is far and away better than we've seen from Sentai recently. Also wrist morphers are way cooler than cellphone morphers.

Also, yeah, Sentai has basically been in the ratings dumps since Gokai because that's when they started having to compete with Pokemon Sundays. I thought everyone knew that one, at least. Alternatively, oddball sensibilities between East and West. I know apparently Fourze bombed, maybe not as hard as Go-Bus, but a noticable amount that they tried to play it safe with Wizard, and that just straight-up baffles me.

jonjonaug posted:After watching this thing here, here are the other Rider shows I'm interested in from the concept and the designs: Amazon, Kuuga, G (holy poo poo that belt), W, OOO, and Fourze. Black's henshin is one of my favorites in there but I've already watched it. It looks like I've lucked out and all the ones I'm interested in have options other than TV-Nihon so that's cool too. From oldest to newest: Amazon is a pretty great show that has a lot of trademark old toku cheesiness (foam blood) but is very different from any other Rider to come before and after it. That's not to say it isn't fun, mind, but if you have a very ingrained idea of what Rider is versus what it isn't, you'll probably be put off. (As I recall, Amazon's original actor thought he had killed Kamen Rider with his performance and was shocked when he came out of seclusion like 20 years later to find that not only was it still going strong, but that people loved Amazon.) Kuuga is a slow-burn cop drama that plays out more like a Showa show than a Heisei show, and is the last thing Ishinomori worked on before his death. It also features the only actual helicopter in Rider history, and is a relatively brutal show. It takes itself pretty seriously, but is amazing and the fact that we still don't have an HD remaster of it is a drat shame. W is amazingly solid, but I personally have problems with the fact that the main villains' objectively nebulous goal doesn't really go much of anywhere (nor do we really learn what it is, and when we do, it means about three different things depending on who you ask.) There's some dropped characterization in the form of Akiko, and has a few flaws with the 2-episode format already apparent (the villain got away near the end of the episode, so we'll just catch him next week!) BEyond that, I would say the middle section involving Weather is fantastic, and it ramps up into an enjoyable end. OOO is what you get when you sort of marry the thematics of Kuuga and Blade together, with all the pacing problems of both. OOO has two speeds. "Incredibly Slow" and "JESUS loving CHRIST". It's got a very entertaining supporting cast, and some of the best secondary riders, but it takes about 30 episodes to get its momentum built up, but at that point it gets definitively insane in the best way. Fourze is what happened when you let Gurren Lagann's head writer write Persona 4 and is about as fun as you'd expect that to be. The characters eventually get a little degraded near the end (a side-effect of multiple writers), but their intros are all solid, and the cast carries the show, even though it's light on plot. I wouldn't say it goes nowhere, but its definitely not the focus. It's a lot better as a binge watch, as it has a very strong week to week momentum. While Meteor does kind of slow things down for a while, he's not necessarily bad, and grows into his own soon enough. Fourze is probably one of my favorite Rider shows, just from how much fun it brings to the table.

Shaezerus posted:The Fourze Driver would've been so much better if it didn't have three different voices attached to it, two of which are practically indecipherable over the modulation. The WizarDriver is absolutely fantastic - you can't go wrong with a belt that outright congratulates you for picking the KICK ENEMY IN HALF button. The Wizardriver is great but it's also too much. I warmed up to it even liking Wizard but there's a few things that just make it even clunkier than the Fourze Driver. 1) That goddamn hand-swapping switch. It's not really useful and doesn't really bring with it much buildup. 2) Spamming the chants every single formchange. I can appreciate them on the initial transformation, but giving time to the chants mid-fight formchange just kills the moment. WATER, PLEASE is really all that would be needed. These two things would make the Wizardriver so much quicker to use and help chaining the fight choreography together a lot better, in my opinion. And say what you will about the Fourze Driver, it's quick in battle and doesn't mess with flow. Put in switch, switch it on. Two very quick movements that link into each other - pulling out the switch as a separate action maybe, but it's still better than Wizard's pace-killing transformations. I'll at least admit the voice modulations are a little wonky on some of the switches, but Fourze's ability to hype up the transformation sequence every single time is so great. There's something about THREE, TWO, ONE that just makes me grin with glee.

My favorite Kamen Rider concept that I'd want to see made is one /m/ cooked up before we knew about Gaim. Kamen Rider Radial. His gimmick is that he was a DJ host who stumbled upon like, ghosts trapped in magic records and the like, and he used those against them to exorcise them and save the city. But he also is a walking broadcast tower, so everyone listened into his adventures thinking it was some sort of radio drama. The belt had a Radio Host mic for a centerpiece that he spoke into in order to transform, with the Belt potentially having goofy sounds like "ONE TWO! CHECK THE MIC! YOU'RE ON-AIR!" It was a pretty cool idea, in all honesty.
