And there's a shadow robot karate cyborg bugman for him to clash against.

The only series I can think of where this doesn't hold true are Kabuto, Fourze, and I suppose Hibiki if you assume the Oni aren't related to the villains (and who knows if they were supposed to be in the original plot).

There's always a connection. In Den-O the imagin were the main 'weapons' whilst also being the villains. I don't recall all of Fourze's details but weren't they linked through the switch system/cosmic energy? I think modern Kamen Rider's usually about using the enemy's power against them rather being literally created by them.

Kengo would 'refine' the switches before they were used, but the Zodiacs would use them 'raw'. Still, this goes to show that the only pure 'good' Kamen Rider is Super-1. Someone should totally translate his series now so we can compare.

W: Memories were created by Museum. OOO: All the bad guys were literally Medals, and Eiji became a Greeed. Fourze: Both the Zodiarts Switches and the Astroswitches were engineered from the Core Switch Wizard: Magic powers come from Phantoms in every case. Gaim: Lock Seeds are from Helheim, and are consumed by Invess to evolve. Kouta is probably becoming an Overlord as well.

The original Kamen Rider is just a rogue monster of the week, and that's pretty cool. Kind of related, I read that a lot of Kamen Rider's start with a spider monster and then have a bat monster, but in this case Kiva is the bat monster. I finished the first episode of Kiva just now, and I like it so far. It's weird though, how the girls were played up as strong fighters but never accomplished anything. Granted, the second time was because of interference by who I assume is Wataru's dad, but narratively it's still accomplishing nothing. The cathedral dragon looked like something from a cartoonier Warhammer Fantasy. That's awesome. WickedHate fucked around with this message at 18:47 on Aug 6, 2014 |

Justin_Brett posted:Don't expect Megumi or Yuri to really do anything on their own, you'll be disappointed. Yeah, I thought so. How have they even kept it up? I'm about to start episode four and it seems like they haven't ever killed a single Fangire. In fact, were those Fangire just hiding and not killing anyone the entire time until 2008? I still enjoy it up to this point, it's just a bit confusing.

And, since it's where this conversation started, Agito got his power from god's identical twin brother. The villain faction exists solely to exterminate people with the power, rather than the power being from the villain faction being turned back on it.

I would recommend watching Double/W or OOO next as your second series since they have the same formula as Kiva while Gaim is a very different animal but is also really good so far. I'm curious WickedHate, how far into Kiva are you?

Oomura's suicide by Kamen Rider was sad, but on the other hand, Keisuke turning an ammo clip into a blade is badass. The stuff in the past is really starting to pick up with the conflict between Otoya and Jiro.

Yay! Sounds great! I can't imagine it getting too bad, but the last time I had unshakable confidence in a series...didn't turn out too well, to say the least. It's somewhat reassuring though, knowing no series will be as bad as Masked Rider. That's the all time low. Maybe I should start watching an episode of it before each of Kiva so that no matter what happens it'll look amazing in comparison.

Honestly I didn't mind that in Hibiki's regular ending, Asumu didn't become Hibiki's successor. I know it bugs some people but I thought the message that you don't need to be a superhero to do good in the world was a nice one. Pretty much everything else about Hibiki's ending was really disappointing though. It still isn't enough to keep it from being my favorite Rider series, but man do I wish that I lived in the alternate universe where Hibiki didn't change directors. So I finally gave up on either of the Toys R Us near me having the Legacy Dragonzord, since a couple of stops to them within the past month has yielded no results. In fact they just seem kinda lackluster on Power Rangers toys in general. They both pretty much only had a couple of the Legendary Megazords from Super Megaforce, and a couple of the additional Zords (Mystic Force Dragon and Wild Force Lion). One had three of the Japanese Gosei Great, but I never really was big on Goseiger's toys. I decided to just order it off Amazon, and I figured while I was there I'd pick up the Octozord I never could find. Then I noticed they were having a deal where I could get the Octozord and Clawzord together, and I mean I already have one Clawzord but might as well get a second so I can keep the one I already have combined with the Samurai Megazord. Ended up spending 35 dollars more than I originally wanted. That's why I wanted to avoid Amazon in the first place. At least I'll get some sweet stuff out of it.

I'm going to assume that when a Fangire is killed, it retcons time so that the victims were never bit. Because otherwise they aren't very good at the rescuing aspect of super heroics.

My favorite part of the finale was how for no good reason there's time travel now. I wished that Kiva and Ixa had used the other forms/weapons more and what happened with Yuri was really disappointing. Wataru just isn't very good at rescuing people but since the show has a horror theme I think the high body count at least makes sense.
