I enjoy reading your posts. Thank you! I just post what I think, but I'm glad someone enjoys my posts. M.Matsuda posted:Edit: I can't decide if Ren is the Best or the Worst. (by the way how Is OOO because i know it has Cake-Boss and he's one of the reasons i want to watch that) OOO has really good villains, a really good plot, a very good cast (though Eiji's kind of bland, but at least the series gives plenty of justification over why he's bland and actually uses it relatively well), pretty fun forms...and a middle part that drags on badly, but leads to a very nice conclusion. In short, it's a Yasuko Kobayashi series. She's one of my favourite writers but she can't handle something as long as Sentai or Rider (as much as Shinkenger is my favourite Sentai, the Akumaro arc was so slow). I fully recommend OOO but with a guide of what episodes are safe to skip. I think someone posted one, at some point. Might've been Burkion, but I don't fully remember. M.Matsuda posted:Edit: well no Just having a medical license is Not enough to be a doctor. it also takes Years of training and knowledge. and not being a complete rear end in a top hat to people. I've met less than nice doctors, so I have to question that last point. None that would let me die in favour of slaying a monster (as far as I know) or that would kidnap me in order to steal the powers of other doctors, but you know, you can be a doctor and an rear end in a top hat at the same time. M.Matsuda posted:Edit: And then Parad turned out to be : Emu's Shadow, how Persona You heard Mighty Brothers XX (and Parad quoting it). "I am you, and you are me". In hindsight, maybe that should've been subbed with ye olde English. Also I'm super enjoying these liveblogs of the episodes, don't stop.

I never wrote a full guide on what to skip in OOO's but really you pretty much can skip everything from Shauta's debut right to the last 3 to 4 episodes, almost everything that comes up in those skipped episodes is either completely unimportant or gets recapped in the last couple episodes of the season Although personally despite there being a lot to like about OOO's I feel it's a terrible choice for one's first or even second or third Rider series, not only for how iffy it's middle portion is, or for the somewhat bipolar tone it has(there's a reason I feel the Pterodactyl Yummies are some of the worst monsters in the franchise, and not just because they are hideous suits), but most damning of all; it has some of the worst fight choreography and gimmick usage of the entire franchise or even in all or the Toku genre

The thing about OOO's is that during the show proper Eiji is probably the single most incompetent main Rider in the franchise's history, he can't fight his way out of a paper bag, the only reason he doesn't get killed a dozen times over is because OOO's as a suit is one of the strongest in the franchise(not counting final forms that is)

You could certainly skip the 999-1000th Rider episode thing though, apart from a few good gags those are... not great. I'm admittedly someone who tends to take toku with bad fightscenes better than plot issues, so I have different priorities. (And even then, boy, are Timeranger's fight scenes pushing me at times. And Episode 22 is the worst Inoue filler writing I have ever seen.)

His TaToBa theme goes over how, if he sees someone in front of him, he's inclined to help them. This element gets dissected especially late into the series, and it's sort of hard to dislike how he's just this adorable doof. His actor even made the original concept of the character (An edgy soldier who grew jaded over not being able to save a child in a war) get changed slightly into the lovable oaf we have now. Eiji is real good, while someone like Takeru's issues mainly come from the character not expressing much to who they are outside of quips.

Eiji is interesting because he's bland on purpouse. The series shows clearly why he ended up like he did, why his only drive is to help people without having any real desire of his own (and this is very important, OOO is entirely themed around desire), and it's ultimately not shown as a good thing. He isn't bland because of bad writing like plain sugar Haruto or catchphrase machine Takeru. There is a character there - he just comes pre-broken. His growth is, ultimately, to unbreak himself, or rather, to be unbroken. To take other people's hands instead of lending his own. If you know about Fate/stay night, he's somewhat comparable to Shirou, though his relationship with his parent is...less nice, to say the least. I don't want to say much more though, I feel I'm spoiling the show already.

Eiji's dad started a war or something like that, and Eiji lost someone during it right?. i remember reading that Awhile ago. personally spoiler wise i'm fine with them just try not to tell me When it happens. and it is really nice to know that Eiji being somewhat bland is Intentional instead of what they did with Takeru who's suit is Far too cool for him.

Honestly, one thing about OOO that's interesting to me is that both the main leads and the main antagonist all have PTSD. Eiji and Dr. Maki are pretty obvious examples with their backstories, but a lot of Ankh's dickish behavior is him attempting to deflect from his own issues and desire to never be vulnerable again (although this is more obvious later on).

My first show was OOOs and it was dope. welp that's all i gotStrixNebulosa posted:Everyone keeps telling me Ghost is gonna get bad but the first twelve episodes were literal silly perfection so I'm concerned about how they're gonna make something so magical turn bad. Is it suddenly gonna get grimdark? I don't know if I'd call it 'perfection' but a lot of the first half of ghost was really liked here. The climax with the guy with bad teeth and the leadup to boost mode had people raving about the show in the last thread, and then the stuff it moved onto next was also really well received. It's just that when the last three months you spend following it seems to lose all steam it really does color your perception of the whole thing. And it's kind of a personal call if 'partially a good show' is worth your time, especially since some people aren't going to watch everything.

(the first dozen eps of Gaim, i watched because well. Urobuchi. ironically enough i hadn't actually gone and Watched Madoka yet) either way i shouldn't have to take breaks to grab more episodes. either way Ep 31 goo. oh my god they shoved SHIN Dan Kuroto into Poppy's machine Edit: just I've missed Kuroto so much Edit: so Kuroto's basically Poppy's Pokemon now right. because if so. Edit: Nico Edit: (someone needs to make a version that combines those) SHIN DAN KUROTO returning by way of LITERAL WARP PIPE is the BEST thing ever and absolutely makes the ride here even more worth it M.Matsuda fucked around with this message at 04:49 on Sep 2, 2017 |

I saw a few people keep asking over and over why anyone would play Chronicle, being such a public health hazard as it is. It's like I guess they've never watched one of these shows in a younger, more innocent age and wished they could henshin into a superhero. And on top of that there's the small issue that Graphite killed who knows how many people that one time he burst a bunch of spores off the rooftops.
