That's Takaharu for you. I'm glad it sounds like they maybe took his western reception into account for the show.

Yeah, Ninninger was 'amazing' because the first time they actually did an all-members team finisher was like Episode 30, and they only did once. Every other episode it was either 'Takaharu does it by himself' or 'Takaharu and the focus person do it themselves'

Ninninger would have been better if Kasumi were the red ranger. but to Takaharu's credit he made me like Daigo a lot more by comparison.

TFRazorsaw posted:Ninninger would have been better if Kasumi were the red ranger. That's Sort of like a compliment. So the original Kamen Rider is pretty goddamn insane and I love it. It's weird how you have two very different kind of kids show flavors to its early episodes. It was always a kids show, but the early stuff is a lot more experimental and weird while also being way more serious and Like An Actual Show. Then around the time Hongo breaks his leg and they bring in Niigo they start doing the over the top posing all the time and the Henshin call outs and the plots get way goofier and sillier, the peak of which must be 17 due to how it ends. It starts getting more serious after that, but never quite becomes as serious as the first 10 episodes. I do know the behind the scenes reasons for it all, I just find it quite funny to see it in real time, relatively speaking. Also the original Rider suit looked REALLY good thanks to being made out of leather. It makes the more traditional track suit material of Niigo's suit look all the cheaper by comparison. Shame about leather being a pain in the rear end to film stunts in.

That was great. And by great, I mean terrible. The new Ex-Aid was pretty good. It's nice to see that Taiga wasn't just talking poo poo to Hiiro and was actually perfectly fine after using Level 50.

Ex-Aid is going pretty good places and I'm kind of sad I doubted it because Taiga finally explaining why he should be the only Kamen Rider was a lot more vaguely depressing and sad then I thought it would be. Turns out he's an rear end in a top hat but he isn't some dude with a hyper inflated sense of confidence.

I always thought they should have stuck with Niigo's original suit as it made it much easier to tell the two apart whereas with the Double Riders the only difference between the suits is the glove color (in fact, I believe during the early Showa era they would alternate between the two Niigo suits randomly before finally settling on the latter version).

This only makes it even more confusing, because one of the very few differences is both low-key and backwards! At least they seem to have stuck 2 on using the black helmet so he's clearly differenced from 1.

As far as I am aware, they never switched between Old Niigo and Shin Niigo. That's a super easy mistake to make though The difference was his helmet. Ichigo got three forms, so to speak, across the series. His original Pink eyed Blue Tinted form, the best looking one in my opinion that's black, dark green with red eyes, and his Shin form which has survived to this day with much lighter green chest, teal helmet, and silver gloves and boots. The first two forms are virtually identical, including having a leather body suit instead of the tracksuit material, just recolors, and there were times when the first version had red eyes anyways due to inconsistent effects and lighting. The Shin suit is more interesting and I'll touch on it below. Niigo technically only got two forms- his original and his Shin form. The part that might confuse you, however, is the fact that Shin form is effectively identical to Niigo's suit. And by that I mean both Ichigo and Niigo's shin forms. The difference between Niigo and Ichigo's original forms are pretty obvious. Niigo has stripes down his shoulders and arms, stripes down the sides of his legs, and his helmet is more colorful, with a silver stripe between the eyes. Ichigo's shin form is slightly different because it has two stripes down the arms and legs, and the helmet is teal instead of the dark green of OG Niigo. For Niigo, the only difference between his original suit and his Shin suit is the fact that his helmet is a different color, teal, and his gloves and boots are red instead of dark green. Except, at times, they would replace Niigo's helmet with an entirely different helmet, one that was black instead of teal or the original dark green. They were inconsistent about this, and once or twice Ichigo would end up with that helmet, but they never had Niigo go back to his original design or helmet. In recent movies, up until the Fourze crossover, the Double Riders have had identical helmets- the Fourze movie featured the Black Helmet Niigo variant again, which I personally prefer. I am a giant nerd about this

John McClane posted:I think the difference between daigo and takaharu is that daigo clearly loved/adored his teammates and felt like he was their equal even as the show made him take center stage. Yeah, this is an important distinction. Daigo was an enthusiastic guy who genuinely cared about his team (though I wasn't crazy about him being canonically flawless and soloing Deboss at the end) whereas Takaharu was an entitled brat who never really grasped the whole "team" concept (and the worst part is he was often rewarded for this), it didn't help matters that his actor kind of sucked at emoting (Note to writers: don't give a character a catch phrase unless the actor can actually pull it off, like Gentaro in Fourze for example).

Aside from the home-grown sequel here, are Korean localizations of Sentai shows basically just sub/dub translations, or do they fully convert them into a new show like Power Rangers?

PMush Perfect posted:That right there is a work of loving art. As much as I love Kamen Rider Blade, it takes "talent" to produce something even goofier and inept than parts of the original show. Tachibana alone is a treasure trove of goofy moments. (Also see Kenzaki's inability early on to communicate without shouting.) The Wolf Undead two-parter may be my single favorite bad episode set in all of Rider. It is disqualified from favorite bad thing period because Shin exists. gourdcaptain fucked around with this message at 21:46 on Mar 2, 2017 |

Kyuuranger has hooked my attention, mainly due to the amazing fight scenes. And I like Garu as a character but drat guys your whole show is full of CGI why not make poor Garu CG instead of... that. Though it's adorable that his ranger suit is fuzzy instead of metallic.

Can we make this an official thread rule that only Champ Lovers are allowed here? I don't want any confusion over who is the best Character, because it is Champ. The closest others are Raptor and Mechanical Lifeform Josuke, because robots and mechanical life forms are the best in this show.

Badass bull boxer from the bull galaxy pumping iron and talking like a samurai boss gets left behind to fight a whole wave of baddies by himself because the other kids know he can wipe the whole bunch with a swing of his axe course he's the best goddamn ranger this season.

The thing I have with Champ is that, like J, I think his suited form looks less strong than his regular robot form. At least, because it's Kyuranger, transformed Champ still looks bigger than the others.

He's a robot that lifts weights to blow off steam. That alone is enough to make him best ranger. For the most part, I really like the cast... except the commander. Holy crap, what a superfluous and annoying character. Get rid of him and just give Raptor twice as many lines.

It feels like the only reason he exists is to play off Raptor while the other rangers aren't around to do their shticks.

"Dark" is not the word I would use for Ex-Aid, when we have Literally Saturday Morning Cartoon Villain Dan in his quest to make the absolute best early access open-world survival zombie game. But it has certainly been fun. Constant upgrades every two episodes aside, the new forms have been really cool and they've been making the fights very interesting.
