Yet somehow we still haven't gotten a Voltron movie despite World Events trying to do so for like 15 years at least.

I think we're getting a Netflix original live action Voltron soonish. Supposedly.

Dragon Knight I will grant this. It has a better ending than Ryuki.


And by that I mean it has an ending.

Well, Ryuki's four different "endings" have to add up to at least one full one, right?

Ryuki is, no joke, the most disappointing Heisei Rider series for me. I love the designs of the Riders, and I love how no holds barred their take on the Rider War was compared to the more straight forward stuff with Gaim.

Just man, the story did not stick the landing. Any of the landings.

LUMINARY UPPERCUT!!

I learned to like Ryuki based on the fact that, no matter what, Shinji will always be a rider, and he will ALWAYS muck up the villain's plans for the Rider War.

He's a hero by being such a screw-up. :allears:

The Power Rangers talk reminds me of an alleged script and the like that had come out referencing Power Rider Apollo (adapting Fourze), which had Shun ("Clutch") rapping with Jake on the weekends, and Ohsugi's only casting direction being "Looking for Steve Buscemi-type".

It was an April Fools joke, however :(

While I'm bringing up Voltron in a live action thread, there was supposedly some kind of script floating around for a movie version that had two key things I remember:

1) Sven turns out to be a traitor, which they also did in some comics I think, and I think is dumb as poo poo because he was perfectly loyal in the show.
2) they built the lions at a junkyard from old washing machines and cars and poo poo, and then when they combined into Voltron it would somehow look like it was all meant to be together as a cohesive whole. I thought this was kind of a neat idea, but everyone else I saw responding to it hated that.

If you were hoping Ninninger at least had a good final battle, boy do I have bad news for you.

It wasn't a solo job by Takaharu, but still managed to be worse than both Kyoryuger and ToQger.

Ninnin is kinda like Wizard, aggressively mediocre with occasional glimpse of good up to 46. Final battle is by above post equally mediocre at best, hopefully Over-Time pushes for fast release 'cause I want to witness claims myself.

I haven't seen Wizard, but I would call Ninninger "actually terrible." What I've seen of it makes me think it's worse than Gekiranger, which is the TV Tropes Sentai.

Considering the series was worse than both of those throughout, at least it's consistent.

'mediocre' is a giving it way too much credit

Nininger was really bad with a few episodes that were 'this is okay' to 'this is pretty good'; the strongest part of it was usually sight gags.

Looks like we'll be getting a MidoNinger in this year's V-Cinema, and the first female Green at that (unless you wanna count Mele from Gekiranger). Apparently she's a new character named Luna Kokonoe and will be played by Megumi Han (Kyuemon's actress).

Of course it's a repaint of the Red helmet. Because Taka is the best.

Hey, at least this one is a repaint instead of awkwardly inserting two more Akaningers into the team. For all of one fight, in which they accomplish nothing.

It's amazing how Ninninger fucks up even its mistakes.

If Saban can't make something better out of the footage I don't know what to say. I feel like it probably wouldn't be hard.

If you put any amount of effort into adapting something like this, it really wouldn't be that hard.

Just pray it's not another Samurai which is just this weird aberration of a Ranger series.

If Saban pushes hard on the game show aspect of Ninja Steel, it'll probably be goofy enough to be worthwhile.

Speaking of V-Cinema, we're also getting one for Drive, and it's about Chase! Not that that's terribly surprising, but I'm looking forward to it because I love Chase. Now if only they'd do a Gaim Gaiden about Oren... :sigh:

No. Volume 2 was followed by a poll of what Riders people wanted for Volume 3, but whether Toei will actually make said Volume 3 has not been confirmed yet.

I'd imagine if volume 2 does well enough, they could probably scratch out a third unless the actors have moved on.

Oren and Yoko should be volume 3

They were some of the offered possibilities. I can't see anyone else who would be worth fleshing out further in the series other then those two.
