Hurricane Blue never stopped being in Toku. She was in an arc of W (The magician's assistant), Fourze (The teacher who knew kickboxing) and apparently she's going to be one of the spirit rangers in Kyoryuger as well.

And was a supporting actress in that recent Daimajin show.

I'm definitely going to watch the second season of Akibaranger, but I'm wondering what other completed series I could watch. I've heard the general opinion of Kamen Rider W is that it's really good, should I just go with that?

Yes, you should. And if you haven't already, watch Movie Wars Megamax (which features OOO, Fourze and W along with the Legendary Seven) and the Fourze movie.

That's a funny way to spell "Zuvat."

Which is also the best way to spell "greatest show ever made by the hands of man or God."

This. I wish the rest of that show would get subbed.

There's usually a little more breathing room, and OOO especially managed to feel less formulaic in how it applied its powerups around this point.

Wizard is kind of a parade of powerups because of how his work, I guess. He started with four forms and has gotten like six more in the time it took W to get two and Fourze to get four. They seem to be setting up for some repercussions to how much power he's got though so this might ultimately pan out for the better once everyone's got their superforms and the show has to rely on its actual plot to keep it interesting.

One thing I liked in W is that W Xtreme wasn't an automatic win button and that he still made use of his 9 base forms after achieving it.

Just finished Gokaiger. That was pretty drat fantastic. I do feel that the climax of the show happened with the final duel against Basco and everything afterwards was just a very quick mop up. The final fight against Emperor Gil on the Gigant Horse also felt a little flat and underwhelming, until they took it Earthside and ran through every Sentai team throwing everything at him, that was a nice finale.

I mean hell, I barely recognise any of these teams (Zyuranger excepted for obvious reasons) apart from what I've seen/learnt through Gokaiger and it still put a massive smile on my face.

Don't know where I'll go from here, show-wise. I was trading off between Gokaiger and Kamen Rider OOO early on - definitely going to get back to OOO but I don't know whether to marathon through OOO or pick another Sentai series and take a more relaxed pace.

Go through OOO and then watch Jetman or Dairanger.

You really owe it to yourself to get to when a new character turns up and a certain fight scene shortly after that (you will know which fight I mean when you see it). The show hits its stride before then but that's an early highlight and if you're not in love with Garo at then point then you are a bad person.

And the following episode, when THAT theme song debuts :allears:

Barong (バロン)- Banana Arms and Mango Arms
Ryugen (龍玄) - Grape Arms and Kiwi Arms
Zangetsu (斬月) - Muskmelon Arms

So to be clear about this:

The plot of Kamen Raider Gaim is that in a corporate-controlled new city, street dancers and Pokemon battling are the primary forms of entertainment. A group of street dancers turn into fruit-themed samurai and knights in order to battle rampaging out-of-control Pokemon.

I just want to be sure I am clear on that concept.

Well, you gotta admit...it's an original idea.

You know what show is just fantastic?

Kamen Rider V3. I loving love Kamen Rider V3. Dude has a method of dealing with enemies that modern heroes REALLY need to learn from. Punching every enemy, and friend, in the goddamn face until they loving explode. V3 is just a whirlwind of face punching and super kicks and it's amazing.

Kaiketsu Zubat is also amazing. Hiroshi Miyauchi trolls villains even more here than he did as V3.

You haven't seen nothing yet. There is NOTHING the bodyguard of the week can do that Ken Hayakawa doesn't outdo by a large margin, including martial arts, fishing, top spinning, swordsmanship, dice rolling, knife throwing, billiards, boomerang throwing, axe throwing and carpentry. God, the carpentry...

I also love that after he puts on the suit anything that he does gets a "Zubat!". Most other toku shows that I've seen (not a ton, admittedly) get a "toh!" or something similar here or there, but the constant "Zubat!"s are cracking me up; please tell that keeps going.

Yes, he does. As does his one man curb stomping and belittling of goons.

As for the ending ending: Is Kikaider getting a reboot next, then? Gavan's back, Inazuman is back, the Ironmen and Akumaizer came back. I wonder who else they will try and reboot? Maybe Zubat? He appeared in Let's Go Kamen Riders with Inazu and Kikaider, so maybe?

There has been talk of a reboot for him for the past year or so. Apart from that, nothing's surfaced since.
