TFRazorsaw posted:I just find it kind of arbitrary sometimes. I mean, you wouldn't translate Excalibur as "Awesomeblade", would you? It's not arbitrary as much as it's all juts played by ear because not every thing needs to be considered so closely when it comes to 'Do we translate it directly, localize it so the intent of the phrase or name is intact and as obvious in this language as it is in the original, or just leave it untranslated?' Turns out it's a topic requiring more nuance and deft handedness than just saying 'gently caress it leave all proper nouns the same.' Arbitrary means there's no real thought going behind it which is untrue of most translations. Of course a good localization can actually improve a show. The Room Of Spirit and Time sounds magical, but in a really vague way that sounds like it could be a generic Zelda temple. The Hyperbolic Time Chamber sounds advanced and magical and explains exactly what the thing is and does right there in its name.

TFRazorsaw posted:That's all anyone should ask, in the end. I just hope I don't sound too unreasonable myself. I mean it does seems a little unreasonable when you talk about specific names and meanings when you don't get the original joke or reference correct either like Blaze pointed out.

TFRazorsaw posted:In general, as far as attack names go, I prefer the approach that if some attacks are in Japanese, and some are in english (example, "Kamehameha" and "Final Flash"), you keep the Japanese ones the same to preserve that kind of duality. Kaioken sounds just as dumb because it's random noises to a non-Japanese speaker and in japanese it's literally just King Kai Fist. All of Goku and Friends' attack names are loving dumb, that's what makes it funny and cool. Burkion posted:Context is also WEIRD with that name, because it's not an actual punch attack, it's a power up technique It's Fist meaning style/technique like Tekken or Fist of the North Star.

TFRazorsaw posted:would that not be how "Final Flash" sounds to a kid watching in Japan? Yeah that's...exactly the point I was making.It all sounds dumb regardless, so why not make it a dumb sounding thing that at least makes sense to the viewers you're translating for.

Hemingway To Go! posted:Ex-Aid doesn't have to be anti authority to be a good time. W is a legal Private Detective who regularly works with the police (even before Terui shows up)and is fighting something that's trying to usurp power and authority from the city and its people. Shotaro's not some outsider working outside the system. Dudes a well known part of his town and has a huge list of friends and allies in the city that grows with basically every case. His entire schtick as a detective is that he knows Fuuto and the people in it better than anyone, and he's here to save them. Siding against the system isn't really a major theme in most Kamen Riders. Blade ends with a self sacrifice to perpetually extend the system so they don't have to draw it to a conclusion, Den-O deffo doesn't have any of those themes in ti, DECADE HAS NO STORY, W and OOO's don't either. Fourze sets up those running the system/school as the villains but everything about Fourze is about the great things about youth and school life specifically so it's not really about fighting outside the system. Gaim and Drive don't have it and neither did Ex-Aid. This is some real No True Scotsman argument. ZenMasterBullshit fucked around with this message at 03:54 on Sep 7, 2017 |

Burkion posted:W would absolutely go against the law, and did so, to uphold justice. That was their job as private detectives. That's...not what private detectives do and outside of one or two exceptions it's not what Shotaro did by and large. By and Large the detective agency is doing things as they should and working with law enforcement as best they can, especially after Terui joins the cast. Like you're really stretching an example to push a narrative somewhere it doesn't work. I'm not saying it's not a theme in a lot of shows, but a lot of your examples are really wonky reads that feel like you trying to angle them to fit your thesis and not fitting your thesis based on evidence.

PMush Perfect posted:Nah, you're right, IIRC. Goons are mad at kids' shows for no reason. News at 11. It wasn't a complete dismantling of the system and was victory that in places was bittersweet. Clearly not the Kamen Rider way like beating the enemy but still being forced to wands the earth as a hell machine that can never be human again.

Hopefully Ryuuga becomes a rider soon cause boy he's the most classic hero set up in the world. Also weird note: Night Rogue has no belt.

Rent-a-Bot posted:I almost want to say it's impossible for Ryuuga not to be the secondary rider. He's got the motivation, the motorcycle, and he's also someone who went through the whole smashification process without turning into a monster. Plus that bit in the op where he's punching goons is begging to be re-cut with him in rider form. He 100% is unless there's a massive swerve. The third rider in early promos was using one shaker and it's dragon

I'm not into the SIC's whole "What if Kamen Rider but literally more edgy?" Like half of OOO's/Eiji's personality is his laid back cheerfulness. It matches well with the shows aesthetic and the Ska & Big Band music blasting over most of the show and the Base suit reflects that lighthearted feel with the bright saturated colors and the unassuming, cheerful face the Tatoba suit has. The SIC design loses all of that by changing the helmet and eye shape to basically give him the Ol Kirby Angry Eye Brows.

We're only 3 episodes in and I already love Build's supporting cast. They interact with each other really well and feel more like actual people than say...the KRC in fourze. Also LOL if you have any problems with Miitan you're just dumb. She's perfect in every way. ZenMasterBullshit fucked around with this message at 22:19 on Sep 18, 2017 |

mikeycp posted:TAKE IT BACK They're fine, I like em, but at some point they kind of just become cartoon characters saying their little phrase and not really interacting with each other outside of like...Goth and Meteor. I dunno, Ryuuga's reactions and chats with Miitan, Soichi and especially Sawa in the newest episodes feels more lively and believable than the KRC to me, even with as goofy as these people (Who I'm going to go ahead and predict are actually martians) are. Maybe it's just that Sento and Ryuuga have shown a more human range of emotions and interactions compared to someone like Gentarou. That and it helps that Ryuuga feels equal to Sento as the Main Protagonist character. It's Kagami and Tendou if Tendou was a real character and not a beautiful God Turned ONe Joke Bit.

Oh no they had fine overall arcs, I'm more talking about the 'day to day' kind of interactions, like Miitan stepping on Ryuuga on her way to bed or Ryuuga and Soichi's budding friendship/chat while Sento is getting nerdy about his Hawk gun.

They're gonna be martians. Spoilers. And Sento being smug is justified since he's been doing this for awhile and builds his own tech and is an actually intelligent hero.

The only thing wrong with Gaim is the SMT Neutral ending protag won even though the Chaos Hero was actually right and should have been the savior to usher in a new era of humanity.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:Stalk only did that because he was surrounded. Dudes probably working with some True Faust boss that Rogue isn't privy to To expand on this, Rogue seems like a useful idiot to Stalk. He's not respected or kept in the loop of Stalk's plans and he seems to be getting into his endgame goals fairly quickly now. I'm expecting a p. big shake up in Faust's structure soon enough. Does Rogue know about his Aide being in on it? Cause he seemed to be expecting the heart attack which wasn't part of Rogue's plan at all. He just wanted the theft to force his dad into acting.

Waffleman_ posted:What if Utsumi is Kamen Rider Rogue and not Himuro? He obviously has enough of a Hazard Level. Yeah I don't see Himuro sticking around much longer. He's gotten his endgoal (the PM seat) and is quickly loosing his cool AND control of Faust. His appearance in the Preview makes him seem a lot more unhinged than normal. I wouldn't be shocked if he eats it next ep.

There's nothing afterwards (no real crossover movie with the next Sentai - it's just a dinosaur Sentai meet-up with a Go-Busters cameo) but Returns is an amazing finale anyways and well worth the watch. God this just reminds me how loving GOOD OOO's OST was. Second best Rider OP IMO right behind NO FEAR, NO PAIN
