I spent some time catching up to Zi-O going form 4 to 11 in an evening. That's a lot of Zi-O. Do you know how often these guys henshin per episode? It's like they need to pad the episodes or something. I like the belts at least.  It's weird how at present Geiz actually seems more like the lead than Zi-O. Anyway I don't dislike it, but it doesn't feel like a celebration of the previous seasons nearly as much as Decade was. (despite the problems Decade had) But maybe I'm just cranky that he's erasing other riders (even if they'll be reinstated by the end of the series). Except possibly god Kouta, which would be awesome if he keeps existing. (haven't seen 12 yet so please don't spoil) It'd actually be a bit stupid for them to get rid of god Kouta since he's their literal Deus Ex Machina for any future cross over problems. It feels like Zi-o is the logical and unfortunate conclusion of Kamer Riders tendency to downplay the previous riders as weak and the ever increasing toy focus. Also Eiji showed up in so many movies and still wasn't reunited with Ankh and now Ankh doesn't even exist anymore.  I hope Decade showing up will kick the series in a higher gear.

In addition, the voice makes my ears bleed. Potsticker posted:From Decade to Wizard was just an unbroken string of amazing belts imo. I'm also really fond of the OOO's belt. ping Ping PING! PTERA TRICERA TYRANNO! PU~TO~TYRANNOSAURUUUUUS! I disliked Wizard belt when it started because the belt was so longwinded, but it really grew on me as the season went on. The song got stuck in my head, which may have helped. It's also easy and quick to use, which really helped during the fight scenes since he could change mode during moves without pausing the action. Belts have become like an extra cast member.

Potsticker posted:Fourze was the one that I disliked at first and then it really grew on me as the episodes went on and in the end it ended up as my #5 favorite belt in a really goofy list I made for a discord channel that rated belts that took into account things like posing and such in addition to sounds, mechanics and design. I do now have a newfound respect for the driver. I never made the connection between the many switches on the belt and the many switches in a cockpit. Neat design choice. I feel a bit stupid for not making that connection, because the amount of thought and puns/details that go into the belts is pretty insane. Now the question remains, which was your #1 and why? I didn't like the Ghost belt much, it's okay. But the Mega Ulorder from Necrom.  That suave manly voice. "YES~SIR!"I briefly mentioned it earlier, but I find the Zi-O driver pretty fun as well. Sure it's huge, but it has that silly spin calling a clock to mind and a neat voice. The armors it summons making the rider of choice trademark pose is pretty neat as well.

Potsticker posted:I went with OOOs. From the jingles to the awesome posing to the very satisfying clicks as the medals slot into place and then again as the front face is tilted it's just absolutely fantastic. There's no wasted space on the thing and mmmmmmaybe the only downside is that the scanner is a separate part that does the majority of the actual work, but that's something I'm only really thinking about now and wasn't in the write-up. You have excellent taste good sir. I was also very fond of the Den-O driver. It's simple and uses tickets in a neat way. Faiz' belts being actual objects they lug around was definitely a unique point for Faiz. I rather liked it as well, because suddenly it was possible for the herot o be without or to just straight up steal it. I don't think I want that for every rider show though. Gaim sort off went in that direction with the Sengoku driver getting knocked away a couple of times (which led to the expansion slot being found). But they still pulled it out of their rear end when they needed it. coconono posted:Faiz is still one of my fave rider series because of all the drama. I gotta download and watch that again. Craptacular! posted:Faiz is probably my favorite belt voice. Second is the more western sounding of the Gaim voices. I was originally really fond of the Kabuto drivers as well, but they fell out of style for me somehow. I guess that despite the neat voices and switches/levels they're just a little too plain compared to the newer generation.

He's really popular these days! We don't really need new Suda for Double though. Just recycle some old footage of him in the library. Shotaro was the one in the field. The writer of My Hero commented regarding Double? That's neat. Is Decade (the rider) popular in Japan? Seems like all the western fans I talk to were really looking forward to him showing up. In addition Tsukasa's actor may be the rider who has so far reprised his role the most. I'd assume he at least likes the role.

The preview makes it very confusing what decades role is going to be. Seems like the decade ride watch is the mid-season upgrade. But who is currently around who necessitates it a mid-season upgrade? Also adding: while the story for decade is very confusing and not very good. I found the series to be very entertaining. It seemed to get what fanservice means better than zi-o so far at least

TheLastRoboKy posted:Decade's sticking around for longer than the two episode arc (I think it's actually 9 episodes or so), and Episode 15 will answer the question of "Why would there be a need for a new upgrade?" Nice. I probably will be dissappointed, but I want to see Decade Complete face off against Zi-o. Cipher Pol 9 posted:This definitely feels way too early for a mid-season upgrade, but I guess it is in line with modern shows. I think we need a new name for whatever this is though because it feels like more of a Boost Damashi / Level X Double Action Gamer / RabbitTank Sparking than a mid-season. 1/3 season upgrade? Decade was the last rider to not have multiple upgrades. Following our discussions of belts I took to youtube and reviewed some parts of Wizard, which reminded me once again why Wizard is such a let down. They had all the ingredients for something great but than instead of making a pie they make a puzzle. Still awesome fights though with great magic usage.

Malachite_Dragon posted:W only had the normal forms, and Xtreme. I don't count FangJoker as an upgraded form because that's just the form where Phillip is the one being the Body. OOO's is a better example. He had multiple super forms. And his final form isn't even the form used to finish doctor Maki. I also never considered Den-O's final form the real final form. Even if Liner form looks awesome, it never felt like an upgrade compared to Climax form and they even straight up keep going to Climax if the situation allowed for it. Blaze Dragon posted:Survive is a Final Form, it's used by Decade Complete and the Ryuki Survive Ridewatch is dated "FIN." like other final forms. If we're going with four tiers, the basic Dragon Forms would be Upgrade while All Dragon (and Special Rush?) would be Super...I guess. Sounds logical.

I like how Makoto did the exact same thing he did in Ghost. As soon as Ghost was fighting his fighting- sense would tingle and he would show up from nowhere. @blaze dragon. Currently it feels like Zio is the first Kamen rider where the toy heaviness is getting in the way of the action/story in the wrong way. We always had some toy stuff (like strawberry lock seed or even further back the Duran booster from Kiva) that would just show up to sell a toy and then disappear. But it never really got in the way of the action or story. Currently it feels little like the toys are bursting from the seams in Zio and occasionally interfering.

Its super bold and I'm wondering how they're going to do serious fight choreography since the whole flat panel things look like they can be pulled off easily. I liked him. More tellingly however, look at the responses to him and the memes surrounding him 10 years later. I suddenly find myself wondering if Geiz will be able to take the award for worst secondary rider from Specter. So far at least he seems intent on taking the title. Beast is so lucky he was important in the final and Nito was awesome otherwise he would've been the ultimate bad secondary rider.

Monathin posted:None of those, except maybe Spectre, come as close to actively impeding the plot as Leangle, so I'll have to respectfully disagree with you. What did Spectre do to impede the plot? I don't think he did anything. He was just there. Blaze Dragon posted:I took Darth TNT's worst as "worst performance" rather than worst for the plot, and goddamn is Geiz working hard towards that achievement. That said, I find myself liking Geiz far more than I liked Makoto, for one simple reason: I can tell what the writing wants me to think. With Ghost, I was clearly meant to see Makoto (god, my mind keeps autofilling "nii-chan" there, loving Takeru) as a complete badass and then...he got owned. Every single fight. The moment he turned sides was the moment he stopped mattering and became something a non-Saiyan Dragon Ball character could point at and laugh. Geiz, though? The series has been absolutely clear on how incompetent he is. We're never told otherwise, Geiz not only utterly failed at killing Sougo, he ended up attached to him and helped Sougo become far more powerful than Geiz himself. He made his situation several times worse and now he has no way out of it, if it comes down to a fight, it'll be a one-sided slaughter, again. I meant it in a more general thing yes. Like what do they accomplish. Spectre is introduced as a big badass and a better fighter than Takeru. But after joining Takeru he never wins even once. Even his deep spectre (and the rage form) becomes useless almost immediately after introduction. It's not even clear what his goal is after his sister is revived. I guess he was helping revive Takeru...somehow by doing something? I mean half the time Spectre doesn't even exist and he just magically shows up when a fight breaks out with no explanation where he came from or what he was doing. Best part was GenM showing up and easily clowning Deep Spectre and Necrom at the same time. He looked badass though, in all his forms. Beast was introduced as a joke and he remained very entertaining. He was horrible in a fight though and he even comes with his very own built in ready to worf weapon in the dicesaber. He was nothing but comedy value which is fine. But then he suddenly becomes the key to stopping the Sabbatt by setting Khimeara free to eat it. An awesome end for a very fun character. Geiz is introduced as a tragic character, all his friends and family die. (I think he even mentions this) He attacks Sougo on sight, but is talked down. He seems to begin to like him despite repeated threats, but is talked back into attacking Sougo again by Kaito. But as soon as something else happens he immediately stops doing that again and starts giving Sougo upgrades. Like why did he immediately give the Decade watch to him? It wasn't even needed against the foes in question and goes against his goal of stopping Sougo. Why don't we see him trying it on his virtually identical driver? Geiz seems to be becoming less and less competent as time goes on. He's originally shown as a strong fighter, but Sougo easily curb stomps him as soon as he gets serious. And I don't think Geiz has won a battle since his defeat by Sougo. I agree though, currently I like Geiz more than Spectre. The show isn't over yet. He may get a very satisfying arc and ending. Currently though he seems to be following Spectre's arc more than Beasts arc and I fear that he will end up as bad as Spectre. Regarding Decade. What are the odds of Tsukasa trying to set things up so that he destroys Oma Ziyo's future. He still claims to be a destroyer of worlds and he views the past as a separate world. In addition he appears to be playing both sides at the moment. Darth TNT fucked around with this message at 11:15 on Dec 20, 2018 |

I liked this ep of Zio as well. Good character development for Geiz and Sougo. During the fights though that decade armor helmet was hideous. It's glossy surface means you can barely even see which power he's using. Preview talk: Looks like Tsukasa's will be facing oma Zio next week

Blaze Dragon posted:The Ridewatches thing has an explanation but sadly it's an out of universe one: toy accuracy. While it's always been something to care about, Zi-O has been extremely focused on keeping toy accuracy no matter what, even when it makes things look worse. A clear example of this is the Genm Ridewatch: it wasn't a DX release in reality, and the series shows it, it doesn't have the turning gimmick of the normal Ridewatches and the upper button doesn't work so we don't get a "GENM" before the Critical Time Burst. This is super interesting. So if I understand you correctly the neo decade driver doesn't have attack ride voice samples despite (some of) them existing in his previous driver? They can really easily handwave some of the weird things though. Like Getz trying the decade watch but his slightly different driver simply does not accept it. Even fits with toy accuracy. I suppose ghost had a pretty good solution to the armor problem with the parkas. I assume those were wearable by both specter and ghost?

I watched the last Zio just now. Good episode. Lots of things happening for everyone including decade. I also really dig how stupid it was that castle Doran robot was riding the captain in respons to Geiz and Another Zio riding each other. Yes, I did just "watch" (as far as you could get a clear picture of them mess) a giant dragon/castle hybrid mecha ride a boat/lizard mecha hybrid.  Geiz giving his driver to Zio, while awesome, also unfortunately calls to attention that the drivers are the same and thus they should have access to the same powers. But as already explained because of toy accuracy they don't. I really hope they start using more armors though. It's getting a little annoying how it's just wizard, ghost and exaid. I also wish the armor powers were a little more distinct. Like what are the advantages of the wizard armor time as opposed to the exaid armor time? At least decade makes it clear what the advantages for him going to wizard were. (Beyond just being a dick) I wonder when we'll find out who made the jiku drivers.

Double was just such a great season. I'm going to stick up for wizard here. He always fought in fire. He rarely used water because it's gimmick was fighting under water. Air gave him the ability to do a dynamic entry save and fly. He used earth pretty only when he was pressured, usually signified by him casting wall. (Which usually failed, though spam casting wall against Medusa was great) Offensively water and fire were identical though, so I'll give you that. I'm not giving Zio a complete pass on not making the armors more distinct just because it's an anniversary series. It's predecessor was really good at using the other riders gimmicks. From Kuuga Pegasus super sensitivity use against clock up, switching to faiz accel to match Kabuto, using Agito's ability to create weapons from other objects to using Kabuto's clock up to quickly cover distances. Decade was really good at that. I think what helped is what was already said. All riders now have so many forms that it's getting harder to distinguish between them. Wizard was a jack of all trades, ghost was a jack of all trades, fourze was a jack of all trades. The gimmick now is usually not what a rider can, but what the rider has that can do something and I think Zio and his reliance on armor (toys) suffers from it. It's weird though, because the ghost armor actually does make it clear what it's advantage is. It can summon parka ghosts. (Though that does make me wonder what the use of the grateful form is) Drive armor also makes it clear, it's really fast. It's just a few that have trouble communicating their advantage. (Faiz, exaid, wizard)

PMush Perfect posted:OOO isn't the best Kamen Rider, but I'd say it's the most archetypal/gateway? A good show with good characters that just barely misses the mark on living up to its potential. That sums up almost every recent KR to some degree, and if you don't like OOO, the genre probably isn't for you. That's a pretty wide degree if you're counting ghost and wizard. Interestingly, despite just missing the potential OOO's finale did leave me satisfied. It's a good series.

I don't get the hate for Gaim. I really liked it. I liked how insane it was. I liked them showing Kouta growing with his powers. I liked the original ambiguity of Tokatora and some of his group and how that fed into Michi's fall. Hell I liked selfish Sid. Spoiler alert: I liked how they killed a number of their friends and in hindsight I loved how batshit the scaling was. We went from a kid trying to find his way in the world (even after getting powers) after breaking with "dance" groups to "I'm a god and I'll take the dimension invading plants to a new planet with my no longer dead girlfriend". Fruitbasket was bad though. Kachidoki was awesome. Kaitou was great but really annoying at the slightly after beginning to midway point. "I'm strong! Strength matters!" *gets his poo poo kicked in* repeat every episode until his final upgrade. But I would probably never suggest it as a first series due to the overbearing fruit theme. That really needed some getting used to. And it was a bit chaotic. Probably of note, I was unfamiliar with Gen before Gaim so I had no expectations going into the season. I'm wondering though why some would suggest OOO's over Double. Both seasons are my favorites, I'm just curious what makes OOO'S easier to suggest to start with.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:the whole concept of dance gangs that immediately transitioned into super suit battles was very silly and didn't work well. if they were so willing to beat each other up after transforming why wouldn't they have gotten into normal street fights beforehand? it was originally supposed to be feuding street gangs and it shows. They didn't go Dance -> Kamen rider battles as you make it out to be. The dancers were already doing pokemon battles with Inves for the rights to the stages before the Kamen Riders were introduced. It only escalated when Kouta transformed and easily trounced everyone their pokeinves causing everyone else to step up their game and get their own drivers. I agree though the dance part isn't very good. The only part of that I like is that it's a very mundane start to use as a ground floor.Blaze Dragon posted:Gaim definitely struggles with the writer's ideas vs. the toyetic aspect of Kamen Rider, and ultimately is a lesser product for it, but it does have some really good moments and characters (that, sadly does not include its protagonist, who has a whole one episode where he's interesting and it's the first) . The ending is...debatable in terms of quality, and then it has an epilogue that was blatantly forced by executives, and that does overall hurt the quality of the show, but I think it was fine. Not amazing, probably on the lower-end of Heisei Riders, but still watchable. Definitely a better show than Ghost or Wizard which shouldn't be watched at all. Everything in Wizard is amazing, except cast (barring Nitou), and story. It's unfortunate for Wizard that those things tend to matter a lot in a story based medium.

Blaze Dragon posted:Check the fight properly. Geiz won not because of the Build Armour, but because Sougo wasn't fighting. He was defending himself from hits but never threw any. Sougo could've demolished Geiz if he pleased but decided not to. Yes, Sougo barely fought back. That's not quite what I was getting at. But what I meant was armor choice. When Sougo did it to Geitz back during OOO's they didn't have any other armors to use. So it makes sense for him to use build there. Now it was Geitz "turn". On his own he has access to Ghost, Wizard, Drive, GenM and Faiz but he instead chooses to go for Build which he loaned from Sougo. And because Sougo didn't fight back properly the fight finishes in seconds again. That's what I found amusing. So many armors, but he chooses the one that Sougo used to demolish him. Blaze Dragon posted:Actually, talking about Build, can I say I really appreciate how W and Build, the two-tone Riders, were used to face Quiz who has the same design? Neat bit there. Build is even more fitting considering the intelligence theme of this mini-arc. I didn't realize that. Neat! Philip had all knowledge due to being connected to the Gaia Memories. You could argue that this also connects W and Quiz. I was pretty fond of Quiz' suit. It's pretty lean and has a neat helmet.

Potsticker posted:Dekaranger is what got me into sentai, so I will never not recommend that. Go-onger and Kyoryuger are pretty strong picks as well. Jetman is a classic, but it's an older show so if you're looking to get into the modern stuff that may not be a good place to start, but it really depends on your tastes whether you should watch it early or later. I'm currently going through Gokaiger for the first time and as my first Sentai. I'm only up to episode 13. But I'm enjoying the sillyness, the insanity of driving a megazord (with a hat!) with giant steering wheels and the general feeling of respect for the cameos. Which would otherwise not mean anything to me having not seen any other Sentai.

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:Gokaiger is probably my favorite, but that's mainly because I just really dig the main cast. Some of the episodes were a bit miss, because they take on a bit of the feeling of each of the sentai they're involved with, so like Carranger's episode is real goofy and Shinkenger's is more serious. Also, Gai is and always will be the best sixth member and I will not hear otherwise. I haven't seen Gai in action yet. But so far the cast is great. Doc is a hilarious fuckup who loves wrestling moves. Luka is kickass (and quite cute). Marvelous is Marvelous. Joe and Ahim are a bit flat compared to the rest, though Joe at least works with the rest. But I do love how they keep swapping weapons to play to their strengths. It's such a simple thing, yet it gives them just that little extra personality. I watched the episode (13?) where Ahim gets "kidnapped" yesterday and it was great. I couldn't stop laughing when the Gokaigers destroyed a garage door and ran into an abandoned warehouse firing wildly around them, at no one as Ahim, the kidnapper and the monster had already left. Poor monster gets the blame for everything.
