Fred is on posted:The theory is that he was just thrown in there because his design/costume had been finalized and Kurokage/Bravo's hadn't. I wouldn't read too much into it. Except that the writer specifically called out ole Acorn was a character older fans would relate to. I'm very curious why.

Am I missing anything or is Sigurd the only Armored Rider to have the traditional Rider eyepieces?

Cipher Pol 9 posted:I haven't seen 13 yet, again, but I've seen the promo material, and is Marika by chance the Fruit Bar spy girl? Or was that a one off thing? They focused on her a lot. It was a joke. Like they were trying to be secretive and all "No one but us can know OUR BIG SECRET!" Shouted Micchy and then this gossipy girl was trying to edge in on the conversation texting away to god only knows wanting to know the scoop.

This episode owned and kicks the poo poo out of anyone who thought that the show would be too wacky to not be absolutely horrifying  Also, theory crafting time. We know the identities of three of the four Energy Riders already. Mikata (presumably a new character), Takatora, and Professor Sengoku. We still don't know Sigurd's identity, which says to me it has to be an established character already. Ladies and gentlemen, we are entering the age of Antagonist Sagara.

It's either that or Yuuya, if you ask me, since...well, it's definitely not Hase now, and he was my top pick. Sagara seems likely, since his job in media manipulation is over, but Yuuya would be a pretty strong pick to make Sigurd plot-important, having him clash with Kouta and Micchy.

Killer Queen posted:Absolutely do not click on this if you don't want to know. Toei revealed who Sigurd is sometime ago and it's Sid. If that's true then it's strange that they kept him a secret initially but not Duke being the scientist since they're both already known to be on Yggdrasil's side. What makes Sid worth hiding in that regard?

What makes Sid worth hiding in that regard? I would guess it's because Sid hints towards having much more of his own motives and him having the most unique of the Energy Rider suits might have given people more reason to suspect how important he could be. Then again, they gave him a lockseed with a giant S on the front that's nothing like any other we've seen, so it's already pretty clear he's going to be important.

Regarding that bet and what I saw from the preview, this is my wild rear end speculation as to how it'll play out: Urobuchi did an interview saying that at the end of episode 14 we'd start to see the real 'heroic' themes of the show. Based on that and the preview, I think that Micchy will WANT to put Hase down, but Kouta will insist on trying to find a way to save him. Given that it is Urobuchi, I can't honestly say which of them will be successful, I could see it going either way. This show is coming really close to topping W so far in my 'favorite Rider' rankings. I think W had better fight choreography, but the story in this one - if it keeps up with the quality so far, even if it does get a bit more traditional - is better. W still has a decided advantage in snappy wardrobe and theme song though.

I'll also admit to being dumb in that I didn't notice like half the reflection things in the OP until episode 4 or so.

Liar Lyre posted:I know OOO had at least one story that involved a guy getting crazy fat and it gave me the willies. Rei_ posted:Kamen Rider is a guy kidnapped by Nazis and turned into a cyborg against his will. There's always been occasional body horror tones. Burkion posted:I'll put it this way. All of the original Riders, up to Kuuga and Agito (And Gills)? Their true forms aren't the human ones. Neat, okay. Thanks for the answer, as this goes on I'm thinking I'll probably go and try another season afterwards and that kinda thing is pushing me there. edit: just so I don't derail this somehow into suggestions - a pal told me go with W, I'm goin' there first.

Man, the wait for episode 14 is already killing me. I'm glad this was saved for after the hiatus, even if the real reasons were a matter of toy scheduling. Those poor kids are going to keep losing the PR war now that Yggdrasil has teamed up with ~Charmant~.

W isn't very body horror-y at all if that's a major thing you're looking for but it's still great, regardless. It'd definitely be my blanket suggestion to anyone who doesn't know where to go and hasn't seen it yet.

I've got Videodrome on blu-ray within reach if I really need something in that vein, haha.

Well... there is some body horror (Bird Dopant, Isaka's ports, Isaka's obsession with Taboo, Isaka in general, Wakana's degrading sanity with each transformation, Shroud's scarring, etc.)

Speaking of music, http://rock10zxa.tumblr.com/post/73244135929/dont-care-toku-robot-anime-game-whatever-dance I feel like there should be a Kamen Rider Gaim drinking game. Like, "Take a shot every time the scene speeds up or repeats something that just happened for a comedic effect." "Take a shot every time Kaito is seen playing with his cards." "Take a shot every time Micchy does something nebulous and doesn't tell Katou about it." Apollove fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Jan 18, 2014 |

Holy poo poo I pity you guys who aren't watching the show live as it airs because even though I can't speak Japanese this week's episode was intense as all hell. We finally learned what happened to Yuuya. Oh and who Sidgurd is. And everyone grew up a little bit this episode.
