So far I can already kinda glean how Thouser's gonna be made. Since Aruto told Amatsu "No," he's gonna get all pissy and show how much BETTER ZAIA is at making Rider systems, hence why Thouser's decked out in gold and literally says "Presented by ZAIA" in the jingle.

Glad after Bobby Kotick/Activision was the final boss in a rider show we're finally getting Apple as the final boss.

Slowly working our way up to Bandai Namco's and Toei's head offices being destroyed by a righteous rider kick.

zero one. is still really good. and my rewatch of liveman is also finally resumed. -it's really good. i forgot how good this was/never noticed. (the mecha fights are still bad/way too short) but. it's good. ep 32,34, and 35 were all really solid. i also finally picked up Bioman again.

The synopsis for Reiwa: the First Generation has released.

Partial translation below:
-Aruto goes to work as usual but found out that he is now a wanted man responsible for terrorism.
-A Humagear called Will is now the new president of Hiden.
-The world is ruled by Humagears
-Jin and Horobi are no longer terrorist and are official executioner of an organization that upholds the law of Humagears' world.
-The change of history is caused by Finnis, the new Time Jacker.
-Her changing the history has also unexpectedly caused the Zio group to regained their lost memories.
-Sougo learns about the existence of Zero One and plans to find Aruto.

In addition, we have further demonstration of Ichigata and Rider's fixation with

So it appears that a leaker might have returned. 4chan's /m/ had a guy last year called "Netabare-san" (Mr. Leaker) who released several semi-detailed leaks about Kamen Rider and Super Sentai that were mostly accurate, including ETAs for certain trailers such as Cross-Z's V-Cinext and Lupinranger vs Patranger vs Kyuranger alongside never before seen screenshots of them. He also leaked the Super Sentai Battle Royale and the motif of Ryusoulger (Dinosaurs) before the toy catalogs released and confirmed both of these things.

Now, Netabare-san never used a tripcode to consistently identify himself, meaning he was easy to impersonate (and there were several), but he always had an ace up his sleeve: He had screenshots of trailers and scenes before anyone else, alongside images of toys and posters before anyone else, including low-res images of Grease's V-Cinext and Perfect Kingdom. He's done this again with the Geiz Majesty V-Cinema. I'd like to clarify a few details before I post anything: Netabare-san was never 100% correct. He claimed we would have Another Geiz in the show, and that Quiz and Kikai would return in some capacity for the show. Neither of these things happened. He claimed if Ryusoulger did worse than ToQGer, it'd be the end of Sentai for a little while. Ryusoulger did worse, but Kirameiger's trademark has been set. He mixed up the colors for the Ryusoulgers at one point, though corrected himself in the same thread. He claimed Build was slated to get a 12 episode mini-series, which never happened. He also claimed at one point Mad Rogue would get a V-Cinema. This didn't happen, and at the press conference for New World: Kamen Rider Grease, Kouhei Takeda actually joked about such a thing happening, which implies that information was circulating around Toei. Here are some other things he did confirm however:
-Another Zi-O (Who appeared in filming shoots within a week and a half of the confirmation)
-Master Ryusoulgers, including one being portrayed by Kamen Rider Ibuki's actor
-The format of the Ryusoulgers being four men and one woman

With all that "Take it with a grain of salt" out of the way, here's the basics that sort of back up this supposed reappearance:
-The new Geiz Majesty poster released the same day, which has happened twice now with Netabare-san
-It's within a day of SHT, just like the rest of his leaks
-The image he posted hasn't been found anywhere else by anyone yet.
-It has good news about Ultraman and that excites me

Now, here's the image and the leaks. I'm including the image so that people here, if they're doubtful, can try to find the source as well. I wouldn't post these if I didn't have some significant level of trust in the source. I will also say even if some of this is right, it's always been about 80-20 in Netabare-san's favor, so I won't say it's all apocrypha. Final note: These were posted at 10:58 AM EST, or 12:58 AM JST. I'm saying that in case the trailer comes out today and people think he got it from the trailer after it came out.

bandai & tsuburaya want 1 year ultraman show FIELDS hesitant. toei look to ultramans for model of show (it may be length)


Netabare-san posted:

toei is happy at kamen rider as of now. there is hope taking forward with new staff . some staff feel satisfied with trainin of new staff. with sentai there is uncertainty. new staff members in the ryusoulger be frustrated, not allow to make sentai different. many at toei say it biggest reason the sentai cannot evolve. (dir may not return to sentai)

next sentai may be "different" but also "the same"

I'm hoping it means they'd have the resources to break away from the kind of rut they've been in lately, over relying on older suits and instead investing in new stuff. But we'll see.

In not as exciting but still pretty interesting news, there's gonna be a Complete Selection Modification-related event called "The Henshin" which shows off a bunch of belts in the CSM and DX toylines, plus exhibits about unreleased items. The big sell is they'll be showing off three prototype designs for transformation belts that are meant to represent "the future of transformation belts." The promo includes an example of one:

That stuff about Sentai seems to make plausible sense. The shows haven't been good over the past few seasons and while there are shining gems of potential in each season, it's been overall dire. The rigidity in the overall formula is definitely something that's an issue.

There was some Sentai series I watched the first episode of, where it looked like the team was going to be a teen girl, an old man, and I think a kid? It's been a while since I saw it so I don't really remember what the third one was. I was really excited for that because it was different and weird, but then it turned out that no they were just doing the regular early 20s age group as always

Another potential supplemental piece of evidence to Netabare-san's claims. Bandai put out a fiscal report a couple weeks ago where they actually forecasted Ultraman's 2020 revenue would exceed Super Sentai's.

Yeah I will say- I do not trust Marvel, I do not like Disney, but this is still excellent for the brand and for Tsuburaya.

It's a true sign that they're moving forward and getting back into the swing of things, and speaks volumes to how much potential Ultraman has in the west. I'll never understand why Toei hasn't tried expanding the Kamen Rider brand like this

As long as they have the quality of regular Marvel comics, I guess that's fine.

I'm still pretty nonplussed with the idea since the travesty of the Archie Comics version, which was supposed to be based on Ultraman Great but was simply awful in execution.

It started out okay, had semi-decent art but horrible, horrible writing that pitted Jack Shindo back against the Gudis, failing, and handing the reins to some other forgettable character. One of the few distinctions it had was to introduce an Ultraman Red and an Ultraman Blue, years before Gaia and Agul.

Additionally, V3 also got an official subbed release in Hawaii, I believe Kamen Rider the First got an extremely limited DVD release in the west, and Kamen Rider Amazons (or at least the first season anyway) is subbed on Amazon Prime.

Speaking of Amazons, did anyone ever sub the movie? If so, is it any good?

Kamen Rider Amazons: The Last Judgement got botched Google Translate subs, IIRC. Also TV-N likely subbed it. However, the movie itself isn't any good. It just feels like an unnecessary addition to the plot and sorta wastes character development as a whole, while also (actual huge spoiler)killing off Jin. If you want some action it's okay I guess.

At the very least Toei never made that much money from Power Rangers. Most of the revenue went to Saban, apparently. Source is this article: https://toyokeizai.net/articles/-/180991?page=2
The exact quote exchange here is:

――"I think Mr. Toei made good profits."
"That's a misunderstanding. Most of the profits went to Saban, but Toei didn't receive much (laughs). Saban Entertainment's become huge now.

Geiz Majesty Synopsis posted:

It's September 2018, ordinary high school students are trying to decide their future.

Sogo talks about his dreams of becoming a king to Geiz, who is practicing for his dream of getting a medal in Judo. Meanwhile, Geiz is also secretly in love with Kutsukuyomi (Kutsu Kuyomi?).

However, Geiz is injured during a match, and, unable to recover from his wounds, lost his dreams.That day, a mysterious young man presents a Watch and Driver to him. “I'm Woz. I came to lead you to the path of Savior. Otherwise, Sogo will become the worst demon king in History.” In addition, a transfer student named Daiki Kaito appears in class...

Several different plots are intertwined. What will be the future of these high school students?
