Re: KR Gaim 15 released
Though, even with every name having some tie or origin, Japan in particular loves matching the characters names to their theme or over all plot more often than not. Ties into their culture of puns and word play. hehehe it just came to my mind the Spanish Last name "Guerrero" which means &...

Re: KR Gaim 15 released
Another example that I can think of is Hanasaki Tsubomi from Heartcatch Precure. Her name is pretty much "blooming bud", a reference to the show's flower theme, her love for flowers and the potential of her character to change and blossom. Appreciating the significance of that name defini...

Re: KR Gaim 15 released
Guys can we please go back to comment the episode?, the last 2 pages of posts are about the name Sengoku and the translation (or lack of) of the character's name, at this point I find myself doubting if the name of Ryoma Sengoku has an important role in Gaim series, rather than the character itself.

Re: It's 2014, what would you like to see in toku hero diver
Aside from more/better female characters, I'd like to see: - Some goddamn adults. Characters who are awesome because they're older, not in spite of it. Kenji Matsuda's character in Garo is a good example. IXA from Kiva is a bad example. But I think that Date Akira in OOO was a great adult.... I wis...

Re: Official Spelling Unveiled! Ressha Sentai... Toqger?
Aren't the R/L sounds in Japanese the same. Sort of like the C/K sounds in English? Actually, C doesn't have its own sound at all in English. It's both S and K, and should be either eliminated from the language entirely or given a compound sound, like CH. No no please.. CH has its own sound in Span...

Re: why is kamen rider changing tones?
I do think that the show is changing tones but in the sense that they are kinda complex, is it still a kid's show? I don't know, so far we have seen that in the war movies the "eternal" fight between Kamen riders in one or another way, whereas the Movie for the series feature a kid or a bu...

Re: KR Gaim 15 released
Yeah, Tsukui Minami's playing Youko and doing Malika's in-suit stunts. Great! Although at the beginning I got her confused with Kinoshita Ayumi.... Ryoma makes me think of Doctor Maki of OOO, both developed ways to fight against the Yummy/greed and the basic/evolved inves, buth also they are "...

Re: KR Gaim 14 released
After watching 14 I think the death of Hase and Yuuya turned all the series a shade darker, it wasn't surprising per se, but still you don't think they would actually kill Hase in front of the hero, what a slap on the face, maybe that explains the opening when Kouta runs into a wire wall with locks ...

Re: Gaim shaping up to be the best Heisei & Neo Heisei serie
To me I've always loved Den-O, but I haven't seen earlier heisei, since I watched from kabuto up to now, I loved OOO also, however, I voted for W because overall it was the best in terms of plot and acting the ending was good and well balanced. As for Gaim I still haven't come to terms with that I l...

The Micchi disappointment is going higher and higher. He has the brain to know what to do and what is right, but where is his heart. Kaito, do you have to be Saito from my favorite anime? Attacking people was out of line, especially with the Inves. Henshin to scare i'll buy cause its in your nature...

Re: Interesting show, but not enough?
I think it's probably just his character that makes you feel that way...although I personally don't find anything wrong with his lines at all, to me, Shoutaro is a fine character as he is and Kiriyama portrayed him really well. No matter how the character is written, that's up to the writers, it ha...

Re: Complete series discussion
I've just finished episode 25 of Sazer X. I am wondering just when the movie fits in? Should I wait until after the series or does it happen "chronologically" somewhere during the series? Or is it totally out of continuity and it just doesn't matter? Better to wait until the finish.. I qu...

Re: Interesting show, but not enough?
I disagree with you whole-heartedly, I think Kiriyama Renn is actually 1 of the better actors in the series and 1 of the best actors we've had in Tokusatsu, compared to all those stiff amateur actors we've had in Toku. At least Kiriyama is a convincing actor and is more flexible with his acting...m...

Re: Interesting show, but not enough?
W is a very good series, maybe in my top 5 too, Akiko will be annoying, but not that much, the story is interesting and it will keep you entertained. My only critique is that Renn Kiriyama (shotaro) sucks as an actor, this is not much noticeable because of Masaki Suda (Philip), which offers some cou...
