I haven’t been following the latter too closely lately, how much does Zenkaiger look like it’s going to be leaning into the whole anniversary aspect?

Well, the collectables are explicitly based on the previous teams, and the team is all themed after previous mechs, so it seems like we're going the Gokaiger route instead of the Zyuohger route.

True, I wonder if that means we’re getting guest stars and tribute episodes as well.

Ooh, neat. I don't really know much about the Kamen Rider manga (people only ever talk about KR Spirits) but I got Ishinomori's Zelda comic for Christmas and his art has a nice charm to it so I'd be interested in reading this

If the producers didn't the cast like, three months before filming that they'd need to get into good enough shape to pull those poses off, then they have failed at their jobs

I was entirely sure they were going to get the helmets before they did the poses because there's no way they'd actually have the face actors do that. And then they went and did it, the absolute madmen.

Zenkaiser, and he has a very Ishinomori look so he looks like where old Kamen Rider and Sentai intersect.

Drive is what I'd add, too. In some ways I feel like it's a better show than Build was. But Be The One is one of the best OPs in all of Rider.

Nah, he's just a throwback to GoRanger.

Which as Blaze said, has some overlap with Rider, though not as much as you'd think. Compare AkaRanger and ZenKaiser and you'll see where the source is.

Ah yes, I see it now (I think it was the antennae on the helmet and the bug eyes that were throwing me). I’ve seen Goranger but for some reason it didn’t immediately click in my head.

If you like 70s toku, it's pretty

70s toku. Like, its not terrible. Its certainly got some unique features to it. Probably an open question on if its better than Akumaizer- I'd argue no- but it's certainly up there compared to some others.

If you don't like the editing though, you're going to be in for a rough time. Still better than Chojin Bibyun

I just watched Timeranger on ShoutFactory with some friends and we liked it a lot, so now we're gonna watch Kuuga next. How good are the ShoutFactory Kuuga subs? Are there any translation errors/choices I should be aware of?

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

Subs were good. Some people were irritated that the "Grongi" language subs are turned on and can't be turned off (It's the language the monsters in the show speak. Most of the time it's just generic villain banter. Sometimes just minor plot details revealed or hinted at a little earlier.

If you're confused, it's a monster language that was meant to be an easter-egg for people watching the series the second time via DVD.

Zero_Tactility

Look into my eyes.
I can't speak to the the quality of the translation, but one thing I've noticed is that the version on ShoutFactoryTV is poorly deinterlaced (which is really odd in this day and age), and the TubiTV player handles the same videos much more cleanly for some reason (https://tubitv.com/series/300005115/kamen-rider-kuuga)

Also, the antagonists in the show speak a fictional language that wasn't subtitled into Japanese (and by extension into English in the fansubs) with the audience left to figure out what they're talking about via context clues. In the current licensed release, they're subtitled from the start. It's not a huge change, but being aware that it was more mysterious originally might be helpful.

Can't speak to the Tuubi version, I've been watching Shout releases from their website directly or catching random episodes on the weekends via their Twitch channel (They tend to play Kamen Rider all Tuesday and Sentai all Sunday)

Episodes 7 and 8 of Ultraman Ginga S are actually pretty good! The UPG members are there the whole time and actually do important stuff. As opposed to the rest of the show to this point where they show up once or twice an episode and accomplish nothing. The goal is to defeat the giant evil monster. There's a big monster that is doing bad things so Ultraman Victory and Ultraman Ginga have to defeat it. As opposed to the previous episodes, where the goal was mostly Ultraman Victory has to be nicer.

I feel like that's also a big part of why Rider has more reverence for its eras Showa/Heisei/Reiwa because there was that big gulf where Rider skipped the 90s so its identity changed pretty dramatically, whereas Sentai had that more gradual evolution.

Technically there were three movies/specials in between RX and Kuuga but pretty much, yeah (I think the Ultraman series also had a slight gap between 80 and Tiga as well). Sentai’s the only one that’s basically continued uninterrupted since its debut in the late 70’s.

Decade vs Zi-O/Zi-O vs Decade was fun. Pre-ordered the DX Neo Decadriver - K-Touch 21 combo. I wonder if they'll rerelease the Ride Booker at any point. Might be able to get the missing attack ride cards that way.
