Re: Poll: Who's excited for Lupin VS Pat

I like it when they play with new ideas. And make no mistake, this is a new direction for Sentai. I've seen it compared to Hurricanger, that series wasn't centered around 2 conflicting teams. It essentially was just a play on the Dark Rider or Dark Ranger concept, just with one more. If they can com...

Re: Designing new Riders

Hmm... Black-and-gold lion... where have I seen that before...? Reminds me of Gekiranger's Rio. XD In my friend's defense, he has never seen an episode of any Sentai series, although at the time, I did point out that the White Ranger from MMPR had a giant jungle cat with black and gold colors as hi...

Designing new Riders

A friend of mine (who I successfully introduced to Kamen Rider), prior to the introduction of Beast in Wizard, gave me some specs on a Rider he was calling Kamen Rider King with a Lion motif. Apparently black and gold are good colors for that. Anyway, I was thinking if anyone had any ideas for a new...

Re: KR Fourze 48 released

It makes me wonder if Miu is gonna actually appear in Wizard trying to seduce him/steal his ring. because that would be awesome xD. Fake prediction for Wizard: After Miu relentlessly pursues the ring, Daimonji mistakenly believes that she is in love with Haruto Souma, the new protagonist, and goes ...

Re: KR Fourze 48 released

And speaking of passing the torch, the Wizard cameo was a nice little wink to next week. Miu is awesome.

Re: KR Fourze 48 released

Yeah, it was melodramatic and far from sophisticated, but, at least, on a subjective level, it was engrossing and affecting, and thus I thought it was awesome.

Re: KR Fourze 48 released

CGI...when done right, it can do great things, even in a show with limited budget. I agree, but only insofar as that CGI should only ever be a (forgive the food metaphor) spice and not the main course of the meal. I think Special Effects can be a highly effective means of adding to a story, but the...

Re: KR Fourze 48 released

You're definitely right. Sadly, I have to say... I was one of those people, a couple of years ago. I couldn't EVER imagine myself watching something like sentai or kamen rider. Because... While I'd had nothing against kid anime; the thought of watching real adults running around in ridiculous suits...

Re: KR Fourze 48 released

I mean, even Japanese storytelling tropes are character related, like the concept of the Tsundere. It all leads to public waterworks that are not easy to explain to people who don't follow this stuff...which, especially where I'm from, most people don't. IKR? No one I know IRL would ever understand...

Re: KR Fourze 48 released

For Kiva, I'd say it's 50/50. Basically, I'd view it as a generation epic/father-son story. The story is THEIRS. Wataru just happens to be the one who survives in the end. I haven't watched enough of Kabuto to really make a stand, but... I feel Kagami's the POV character the kids/audience should re...

Re: KR Fourze 48 released

OMG DwightSteel... I would LIKE your comment again if I could. I'm not masculine nor male... But I DO make a great deal of not crying in public (heck, I rarely even cry at funerals) but... SPACEBROS (or as I'd like to call it - fujoshi at heart - SOULMATES (well kinda) )... Yup, sent the waterworks...

Re: KR Fourze 48 released

Ultimately. Let's pretend that Fourze had better pacing and less Monster of the Week-formula to it (not saying I don't love Fourze as it is, favorite Rider show and all...) ... Whose story would you say it ultimately was? Gentarou's or Kengo's? Personally... I wouldn't be able to decide. It's a sto...

Re: KR Fourze 48 released

I so wish I could 'like' your comment. GOD I'm glad I watched the letter scene at home, alone. Seriously. For obvious reasons. T~T Also, while I wouldn't consider myself the most "manly man", I bear enough masculine traits publicly that I don't like having to explain myself as to why I'm,...

Re: KR Fourze 48 released

Also, for obvious reasons, we never really got any kind of technical data regarding how the switches work (I mean, how would we get technical data on a fictional technology?). Accepting that reactivating the core switch would essentially just drop Kengo as he was back home is a reasonable expectatio...

Re: KR Fourze 48 released

That was satisfying. Like a good meal. It just hit all the right beats. I knew it was gonna be a good one when I found myself tearing up five minutes in. Anyway, I'm gonna miss Fourze. But I'm super excited for Wizard.
