Acne Rain posted:I watched more gaim. Color me a bit surprised, but I thought the plot had already gotten going by episode 20 because by then you've learned the secret of Helheim and Kaitou is recruited by Ryoma. And Micchy's... started really becoming scum. It isn't that into the plot I guess, but the episodes were already very serial by then.

SpiderHyphenMan posted:Okay, I know this is going to get me torn a new rear end in a top hat, but honestly, and it may just be natural favoritism towards the version I experienced Shinkenger with for the first time, but I honestly think TV-N's version of SHINKENGER ENDGAME SPOILERS DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED IT HOLY poo poo Takeru's belief that "he's nothing" holds more emotional power than OT's "He has nothing." It's a subtle but important distinction that I think really goes a long way in selling Takeru basically having a loving death wish that's based primarily in self-loathing. I'm aware that translation is a factor but honestly with OT's penchant for character writing and localization I feel that saying "That's not what they're saying at all TV-N's translation is bullshit" on such a nuanced distinction is not really a compelling argument. I feel the same way, only about Decade. The way TVN translate's his dialog seems so goony and overly theatrical, it's just perfect for his character.

Poison Mushroom posted:I don't accept "there is a good scene (that you can watch on youtube)" as an argument in favor of a series' quality. Mostly it's the sheer absurdity of what the show calls a plot and the gooniness of Tsukasa and Kaitoh that endears itself to me. Not to mention that belt. Everyone loves their first Rider show after all.

Stallion Cabana posted:I was impressed that Nininger managed to go like 13 episodes before going back to the thesis of the series; "Be more like Takaharu. He is the strongest and lives the best and everyone should love him. Those 13 episodes were pretty good though. It feels like it averages out to be forgettable. I can't believe it's up to episode 40 now when it feels like there's barely been 20 episodes of content.

Twelve by Pies posted:Going into the Ninninger/Drive crossover felt weird because since Ninninger had focused almost completely on Takaharu, the other characters were just kind of "there" since their personalities hadn't been established fully yet. Zyuohger doesn't feel like it has that problem, all the characters feel unique with their own traits already since Yamato isn't getting all the focus, so I feel like this will be a lot more enjoyable. Well, plus that crossover also had to shoehorn in a tie with Kamen Rider Grad Prix. Although will this cross-over involve Kamen Rider 1?

AzraelNewtype posted:Did you forget that Kaito had a Genesis Driver for ages? OOO is really the odd man out here, going way, way back. Faiz too, like you said, but Agito and Ryuki before it did, as did Blade, Kabuto (sort of, Gattack is so late it's basically a power up on its own), Den-O, Kiva, and Decade (counting DiEnd's movie poo poo) after. Not sure about Hibiki, to be honest, but that show's main power up was about ruining what made that show interesting, so it barely matters. Yeah, Accel had Trial form, Meteor had Meteor Storm, and Beast had Hyper.

Serious Frolicking posted:Huh, I thought that Fourze only mentioned the showa riders. Tomoko's tablet also has a picture of a wrecked Fuuto Tower .  Twelve by Pies posted:The W movie is canon to the series (the episode after the movie released has them talk about the destruction of Fuuto Tower, which happened in the movie) and OOO shows up in that to fight one of the Dopants. In addition OOO shows up in the Movie War with Fourze where he gets Double Rocket, which we know is canon because during his training with Virgo he uses it. It seems like they tried to link the series through Foundation X and also doing a pass the torch thing. The finale ending credits for OOOs and Fourze had some visual link to the next series.

I guessed Saeko would pull a black widow on Kirihiko and that didn’t any less sad. I’ll miss that loser. He gets a talk show though, so that's a nice conclusion.

Eponymous posted:I always thought it was kind of weird how Terui's arc ended up being a total validation of revenge. He finds the guy he wants to murder, murders the poo poo out of him, and is immediately shown laughing and playing with kids. I mean, the guy totally deserved it, and that kind of emotional closure could realistically do somebody a lot of good, but... this is kind of a kid's show. I didn't really view it that way. His fighting for revenge nearly gets him killed, e.g., when he takes on Weather and Double does the double maximum drive to try to ward off Weather. It's only when he's fighting to save the life of that bird scientist woman does his need for revenge get overtaken by his need to protect someone. Only then can he actually defeat Isaka.

Potsticker posted:I was with you until here at the very end, so here's some words on Decade on why a person might want to give it a try or skip it. I enjoyed the heck out of because Kadoya Tsukasa is a giant rear end in a top hat to everyone. If you're going to watch it, I almost recommend the TVN subs because their goonish way of translating sometimes also feels like a perfect match for Tsukasa and Kaitoh.

nerdman42 posted:Its weird hearing all this praise for Drive when the only thing I heard about it before entering this thread was "its not very good" Drive kind of took awhile to get moving. I'd say its pacing was better than OOO's but not as good as W's or Ghost's. I think I'd honestly say the B-cast kept me in the show as much as the conflict between Drive and the Roidmudes. The last third of the show though is just fantastic.

Serious Frolicking posted:Uh, so a movie about an unrelated guy who just looks the same but never did anything heroic or become best buds with Chase? Sure. He comes across footage of Chase fighting as a Kamen Rider and thinks there's an android who has done more to help people than he has. He starts feeling the need to smash justice in monsters' faces through rider kicks and goes to steal a Mach Driver. The way Chase went out was awesome and heroic and I like the idea that the human he copied decides to follow in those footsteps rather than just have writers resurrect Chase.

RealFoxy posted:It sounds so un-genuine but I'd love another mini season of Decade to wrap up some of the lingering stories and such. He kinda never got an ending. I want Decade to show up in a two-parter in every series so he can make some sanctimonious speech and then do a final form ride for the current rider. I bet Drive would have had an awesome final form ride.
