It's a Kamen Rider game so it'll be mediocre at best but I did enjoy the Climax Heroes series as mindless as it was. This seems to take a step forward from Super and go full 2vs2 3D battle, which is the obvious step upwards there so I'm less surprised by that than by its existence. I'm just glad Ex-Aid Maximum Gamer Lv99 is playable because that is ridiculous. M.Matsuda posted:Why the actual Hell is Ex Aid so Good Single writer working on the entire series thus stopping random filler episodes written by people with less knowledge of the cast from happening, said writer being very competent at his job, no fear in being utterly goofy yet extremely serious at the same time without a hint of irony, actors that can sell what they're feeling, and a plot that isn't afraid of taking risks and constantly moving the story instead of focusing on a few plot points that can't last for over 40 episodes and thus maintaining a constant, boring status quo. And of course, Shin Dan Kuroto God.

You also have to appreciate the seeming unnecessary death from the motorcycle attack, and how Dan just welcomes it. And then spares Kiriya from dying again by absorbing the virus.

Craptacular! posted:So, before I get my hopes up, is KR often like that? My plan at the moment is Amazons next, followed by W, then some combination of OOO/Ryuki/Blade/Gaim. I can vouch for Blade having that "something always happening" quality. There are very few episodes that spin their wheels and go nowhere. There is always something advancing, and I found it a very compelling watch when I was binging through it. Turn-Up Scrubs did a good job on getting it watchable and coherent, too. And thank goodness for that, Blade is my favorite Rider season and I'm glad there's a half-decent version to point people at now. Gaim spends more time loving off with stupid stuff than it should, and OOO has a period in the middle that's really not all that important in advancing the greater plot. (Correct me if I'm wrong, guys, but OOOs plot actually wound up changed from initial plans because Ankh turned out more popular than expected?)

For good reason. Date would have died, Ankh and Eiji would have fought to the death, all kinds of fun things.

Since Cruchyroll doesn't translate it, which eliminates the best part about the theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hip3e4wxzoQ Here are the lyrics. The best part to me, the repeated use of "IF YOU'RE A MAN!" and then, near the end, with just as much sincerity "SAME FOR WOMEN!" Which is very telling for what Nexus does

Is there a collected series of notes of what Kamen Rider OOO was originally supposed to be? I do recall a couple of notes of W and Fourze's original concepts as well, but never in a format where I could just read them and reference them at any time.

Yeah this is going to be a severe swerve from ExAid in Every single way I think. Just, all of them. But it goes to show how flexible the tokusatsu genre is. For the record, if you wanted to break Nexus down into arcs, the first 'arc' basically lasts the first 12 episodes. The next is, again, 12 episodes, and again the one after that is 12-ish The final arc was meant to be 10 to 11 episodes but they got cancelled abruptly so they had to abandon those plans and instead cram it all into one. Because TV stations

If we got the final arc the way it was meant to be Unless something just unforeseen happened like everyone involved had a stroke and became Super Racist Nazi Imperialists I'd be pretty comfortable calling Nexus as my favorite tokustatsu ever. Sadly, it's just really good with a really "Okay Then" ending.

So quick question on The Ultraman franchise in general. So what exactly Are the ultramen (I know they aren't humans, The orginal took over a dude iirc, Ultraseven Disgused himself as Dan, Zero takes over a Salary man in Geed, and that that apparently they can have familes in the Main continuity, Also that The original had a time limit on his powers while Dan didn't iirc)(also are they Always HUUUGE?)

Okay so here's the deal. It depends on which Ultraman you're referring to. In the Main Universe and its offshoots, Ultramen are basically just aliens. Like, imagine if Kryptonians were even more alien and super powered than they are in the DCU. They can become pure energy if they want, but otherwise they're flesh and blood aliens with loads of weird and cool powers. Millions of years ago, they used to be human looking beings, but their sun died. So they created an artificial star that mutated them into the Beings of Light that they are now. UltraSeven is different from the others for two reasons. One is the out of universe reason, namely, he was never supposed to be an Ultraman. His series had nothing to do with Ultraman, no continuity to it, and the one member of his species we saw looked more like him and not like others. In 1971, in honor of Tsuburaya who had passed the year before Return of Ultraman could be made, they officially made UltraSeven an Ultraman due to him being Tsuburaya's favorite and his favorite production. IN Universe, UltraSeven was not part of the Space Garrison. The Land of Light have a few jobs and stuff you can do. Silver Cross are medical people and healers, then you have the scientists, and the Space Garrison who basically act like the Green Lanterns only not as lovely. They go around the universe combating evil and saving planets. UltraSeven was never part of them to begin with. He was just a cartographer, making detailed maps of different solar systems. He happened to come across Earth while making a map of the planet, found a hiker in distress, and then noticed that there was a lot of bad poo poo going on and decided to help out. This is part of the reason why Seven is my favorite Ultra hero, for the record. He's not a cop like the original and the ones after- he's just some guy who decided to help because he saw how innately good the human race could be. Because UltraSeven was meant to travel the universe without a traveling device like Ultraman, for map making purposes and what not, he has a different kind of armor that constantly feeds him solar energy and keeps him in tip top shape. That's why he doesn't have a color timer or a time limit. After the main universe, it gets a little trickier. Orb was a human-like alien who obtained great power and used it to fight. Ginga is some loving thing that I am not going to go into. Cosmos is more like the mainline Ultras, an alien being bonded with a human. X is explicitly like them, though he's also from a completely unrelated universe, and the way he bonds with humans is entirely different. Tiga and Dyna are both reincarnations of what amounts of Lovecraftian horrors that turned on their fellows and decided to protect the universe instead. Gaia is just a human who inherited the power of the Earth to save it. Nexus...well you'll see. For size, Ultras are naturally giant sized after their mutation in the main universe. Some, however, most notably UltraSeven, can alter their size at will. UltraSeven has grown to the microscopic level at one point to fight an alien virus because it was the 1960s. Fighting at human size typically isn't something that happens too often, most of the examples are from Seven, but it is a thing that comes up once in a while. EDIT: Also it should be known As of the Mebius time line, and TFR if you're reading this this is important for you, none of the Ultras that originally bonded with a human host still have that human host. Their hosts have moved on. They do assume human forms that look like them though, for sentimental reasons. Burkion fucked around with this message at 07:12 on Sep 3, 2017 |
