HERE'S SOME OPINIONS ABOUT KARATE BUGMANS Kamen Rider Decade Kamen Rider Double/W A wannabe noir detective and his Most-recommended entry point into the series. Likes to dip in quality right before another plot moment yanks it back up into being fantastic again. Kamen Rider OOO A hobo obsessed with underwear and his Has a filler-ific middle, but a decent ending and entertaining character interactions throughout, plus some great music. Somehow manages to be even gayer that Double. Kamen Rider Fourze A Grease cosplayer who wants to be friends with everyone has adventures in space with a squad of high school stereotypes. High energy, very optimistic. The characters are the meat and potatoes of the series, so if they don't click for you, may not be enjoyable. Decent entry point. Kamen Rider Wizard A wizard who loves donuts Mary Sues his way through people's hopes and dreams. Has a dragon that turns into a motorcycle and still somehow manages to be boring. Kamen Rider Gaim Ken Urobochi's Dancing Fruit Samurai. Starts goofy as poo poo, and then people start dying. Doesn't really stick the landing, but the story has very little filler. Not a good starter series, unless the above description really stuck with you. Love-it-or-hate-it. PS: Don't watch the last episode. Kamen Rider Drive A car-nerd police officer and his talking belt vs. the robot uprising. Has the best tragic villain in a Kamen Rider series. Probably not the highest quality series on the list, but it's interesting. Kamen Rider Ghost A dying guy with no personality uses the souls of legendary historic figures (and public domain characters) to punch ghosts. Starts somewhat bad, gets good in the middle, then gets even worse. Good secondary rider is the only reason to watch it, and you'll still weep over the wasted potential. Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Doctors with retro game powers punch the Pac-Man Fever out of people. Starts goofy as poo poo, and then people start dying. Has no right to be as good as it is. Takes a little while to spin up; the first dozen episodes are a bit slow. Kamen Rider Build Sports drinks and animals? Not much info yet. Please be good. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 20:45 on Aug 29, 2017 |

Don't they do the first episode as a matter of course before deciding?

Justin_Brett posted:I still think Toqger was better at handling the 'Red is the best at everything' phase we're in now, since even if Right was a fair amount of the time, the show seemed to take the piss out of him more sincerely than Ninninger does Taka. Plus he wasn't just the hotblooded idiot trope played straight as an arrow.

Literally The Worst posted:Drive was good as hell. There's a sad scene wth a sentient toy car in the rain. ToQ is kind of divisive, and I've heard Ninnin has some pretty good episodes and some really bad ones, so

Acne Rain posted:Kaito as the guy who wants strongness is a normal kamen rider kinda guy but I just do not feel like some even in this setting could have a past that leads them to be a guy who talks and acts like Kaito does (about strength. All. The. Time. He's worse than Worf and his Honor). I guess he fits in better once the story gets more epic in scope, though. Kaito, meanwhile is too busy being a Chaos Hero from the Shin Megami Tensei series to care about things like "logic". He does get better, though you have to read between the lines on his actions in the last quarter of the series to really get why and how. He's playing the 'create a world where people like me won't need or even be able to exist' long con.

DICKS FOR DINNER posted:I'm glad for the Skull segment of Movie War Core because at least then it wasn't a total waste of my time. Fun fact, the OOOs segment, which I maintain as the worst tokusatsu I have ever watched? Written by Toshiki Inoue. Of loving course 1. Toshiki Inoue even looks like an evil scientist in a Kamen Rider series. 2. He's also behind the anime of Yu-Gi-Oh, which explains so much. Edit for 3. And Zyuranger and Timeranger?

Is there really any reason I need to watch Decade 23 and 24 around Shinkenger 21? I didn't before, I don't plan to now, but I don't remember if I missed anything important. Also, is the movie any good?

V-Men posted:That had Decade playing tennis, so that can't go. Same reason the Giant Enemy Crab scene doesn't count. Edit I still stand by the opinion that Kabuto has the largest suit quality:show quality gap. All the suits just look so loving slick, and I will love the aesthetics of TheBee until the day I die.

John McClane posted:I dunno, the Wizard suit looks good as hell and it's hard to get worse than Wizard. On the subject, we kind of agreed that the mid-season upgrade will always look at least as cool as the final form, but is there a "final form quality : show quality" metric? I don't think there really is. Fourze has Cosmic, but Double has that monstrosity that looks like it had sex with a Ganbaride machine. Meanwhile, W has Xtreme, which is just kind of boring. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Nov 1, 2015 |
