Re: Kamen Rider Revice poll and series discussion thread

This has to be the worst Rider show I ever watched, at least to me. I hate the cast, every single one of them. Ikki and Vice get next to nothing to do and speedrun through their development, making them dull. Daiji is frustratingly underutilized and just annoying. Sakura feels like a character that ...

Re: Poll: What's your opinion of Kamen Rider Saber and series discussion thread

I really enjoyed this show. The early parts had a few kinks in them, ala "I like this, but..." that were a bit annoying and the overloaded toy schedule was annoying in a way, but at least that part I won't hold too much against the writing team. But I still enjoyed my time, it's at least o...

Re: ZenkaiRed Daishoukai 02 released

Dear god... It's been ages since I was this into a show! You know... Actually, this is the first time I'm this hyped for an airing season from the get-go! And this special is just more of it! Love it! Just so much fun and such a clear direction and identity.

Re: Zenkaiger 04 released

Now we know that Kaito's parents are still alive, and that Ijrude has been mooching off their ideas in order to appease his master. While I'm talking about Ijurde, is it just me or does he remind anyone else of a past Sentai/Power Ranger villain? I can't place my finger on it, but he seems like a c...

Re: KR Saber 24 released

Let's look at the golden rider of writing Gaim. You'd know things about stuff like Mitsuzane scheming or Jounouchi scheming or Takatora feeling conflicted about using brutal methods because he knows the alternative means the extinction of humanity. This is good distributed characterization. Persona...

Re: Is the swordsmen infighting this year's job wars?

Funny enough, I feel a lot now about Zero-One like people feel about Saber, ultimately an exceedingly hollow show. Saber just gives me something I enjoy in Rider, enjoyable characters. I got a good grasp on the characters, I enjoy their personalities and I want to see where they go, something I did ...

Re: The true Decade will be decided... in February!

I assume to start of the 50th anniversary with the two anniversary Riders. And given the titles and pictures... Yeah, this will be wild. But hey, I like ZI-O, so I'll take more material any day.

Re: TV-Nihon Member Kamen Rider Questionnaire

I kinda expect this thing to be a bit all over the place, given how diverse the Rider Fandome actually is. I've seen every series be someone's favorite or least favorite. One thing that would have been interesting as well, would be a do you hate this show, are you neutral on the show and a do you li...

Re: Poll: What do you think of Saber?

Silent majority can be quite surprising at times. I'm also enjoying it a lot and honestly, more than Zero-One, even if that show is technically better. It connects with me a lot more than the later on a lot of elements.

Re: Do the post Decade Riders suck?

I'd say it's the better of the two Heisei eras. There is one show in Neo that I dislike, and it has a stellar four-season run that just knocks it out of the park from W to Wizard. And even shows that I had more problems with, like Build and Ghost I ultimately ended up not minding that much and enjoy...

Re: KR Saber 12 released

Ok, about Tassel. Yeah, no. It's not just "phoning someone, and WHAM". Tassle has gotten creepier and creepier as the show went on, from more closeup shots, to him mouthing ominously, to a more threatening tone, to lighting changes and now the last two episodes being the last few instances...

Re: Project Thouser Part 2 released

This felt like a weird time capsule. Like, it feels like it wants to have so many revelations so when you look back you're shocked how much they planned ahead, but in reality, it doesn't really amount to anything than patch up questions that needed a far more thorough explanation in the show proper....

Re: Super Sentai toy sales

The thing is, it has been declining for pretty much a decade now, with no end in sight. It isn't a hasty decision by any stretch. Toei has shown that they care about Sentai by trying again and again with it, but nothing has worked. At this point, it seems inevitable.

Re: Super Sentai toy sales

Comparing this to Zero-One really paints a grim picture, given that it ended up being the second best selling season after ZI-O. Add to that that after Gokaiger only Koryuger has reached the earning goals, I got the feeling, an at least temporary, end to Sentai is fast approaching.

Re: Gaim Gaiden: KR Guridon VS KR Bravo 02 released

Yeah... This entire thing wasn't good. Completely contrived, stupid conflict that is arguably out of character for Takatora, who never enjoyed doing something evil. But here? Instead of trying the reasonable thing, like, talking, he just risks the lives of two people who defended Zawami for a really...
