jivjov posted:I must be the only person in the universe that prefers TV Nihon's subs, at least for Gokaiger. I actually like the colored subs, and I prefer to see the honorifics in the subtitles. "Mr. Marvelous" doesn't flow as well for me as "Marvelous-san" It somehow worked for Decade, but I don't recall many instances where TV-N just had the original Japanese with a minor note for the translation somewhere else. Decade really is a show that helps to be distracted by colored objects. edit: http://onoretvn.tumblr.com/tagged/Kamen-Rider-Decade Definitely more than I remember.

SpiderHyphenMan posted:I've just been waiting so long for a good reason to post that because goddamn, even when you get past all the untranslated garbage, the lovely fonts, the dumb graphics, and even when they mishear poo poo leading to complete mistranslation, you still have objectively lovely phrasing. I'll admit, "Count the number of your sins" is way more epic than "Count your crimes," regardless of translation accuracy.

I also just finished Kabuto, finally. I didn't think the Natives story line was as bad as what I heard about here. I was a bit miffed it took so long to develop Tsurugi's/Sassword's story. The whole thing about living like the COMMON MAN was funny, at times, and just dull during others. I'll see if I can fit in Black while watching Gaim.

ImpAtom posted:I like the Fourze part of the movie but I really can't enjoy the rest of it when it involves boring-rear end Haruto beating up the Akumaizers. Similarly, it's why I prefer Mega Max to Ultimatum. Also because Ultimatum creeped me out everytime it focused on the schoolgirl skirts. There is plenty of Japanese schoolgirl pornography I can download, I don't need creepy voyeur camera shots in my tokusatsu.

Potsticker posted:Kabuto and Faiz are really similar in that both shows have some very good things going for them, but are unfortunately dragged down by very terrible things and a person's enjoyment of either depends solely on whether they can stomach enough of the terrible stuff to enjoy the good stuff. Yeah, that was me. I loved Kabuto, but only because I could revel in how absurd the show was. Also because of the food porn. I also had no qualms with the practically perfect Mary Sue of a main lead, but my first dip into toku was Decade, so that probably explains it. I can enjoy it not because it's good, but because I found it fun.

Xelkelvos posted:I want to say that the closer the plots in PR get to the Sentai, the less developed the characters become . I may be wrong, but that's the trend I can see when looking back. I thought Time Force was pretty close to a carbon copy except Timefire doesn't die. edit: That being said, only Jen, Wes, and Eric got actual character development. Xelkelvos posted:Wild Force is pretty close to Gaoranger. They straight ditched the morphers as cellphones thing I think and they reduced the chick who gave them their powers to a Zordon-like character where she's not really relevant as a character beyond facilitating things. Those are the only changes I can pick out from not watching Gaoranger and looking it up on RangerWiki. I recall Wild Force using their morphers as cell phones.

Blaze Dragon posted:Have mine. Kabuto's a goddamn trainwreck, and not the entertaining kind. Sad, because I love the suits and most of the secondary Riders, but the series completely derails...by episode 30, if I don't badly remember, and never recovers, it can never decide if we're meant to take Tendou as a fun exaggeration of a perfect character or a true, godly perfect character that everyone should love despite being an rear end in a top hat to literally everyone except his family, and the Natives are boring as hell. Ah, the Dark Kitchen two-parter. Tendou cooks far less food after that, which is part of the decline in Kabuto's quality. But it's helped by having the bosom BDSM brothers, PunchHopper and KickHopper.

I'd watch a Maki/Date spin-off in a heartbeat. OOOs may be easier to binge watch. My wife likes it more than W and didn't find it slow. That may be because she binged watched OOOs whereas I watched it week to week.

If so, maybe the fights were just choreographed better, because I find watching Blade difficult and I really wanted to keep with it.

I loved the way Right comes up with Super ToQ-Oh. He's told he can imagine whatever he wants, so he mashes all the trains together into a giant robot without even knowing whether it's possible. Of course, it still looks like rear end.

Fantasy, secret organizations fighting monsters, and parallel stories. So what's the catch?

Given that only those with imagination can see the ToQger train, how does the city react after there has been a robot battle? Is that the only time the city seems the train? Or do people just see random buildings collapse?

Larryb posted:Though the thing is there were plenty of plot threads in Decade that they could have built a story around but none of them ever really went anywhere. Hell, once they ran out of Heisei Riders they could have had Tsukasa visiting Showa worlds for the second half of the show, maybe ending with the world of the original Kamen Rider. That might have been interesting. When is Tsukasa going to finally try sea cucumber?
