Re: Boonboomger 02 discussion thread

I've been mulling this over. Despite the seams, it looks like the suits actually zip up in the back? They probably wanted them to look like suits worn by race car drivers, but the suits still actually open from the back. My best guess is due to stunt reasons, like attaching harnesses and the wires ...

Re: Boonboomger 02 discussion thread

And another solid episode. This one is a bit by the books, but it's also episode 2. There are only so many ways you can dress up "the new team members don't get along" without ending up with something that goes in a completely different direction (e.g. King-Ohger). In this case it's the se...

>And an 8 year old became Dread? Surely that sets a record for the youngest Kamen Rider, right? I think she's 9, but yeah, someone check the guiness records https://wiki.tvnihon.com/wiki/Kamen_Rider_Records Don't know how accurate it is, but looks like 11 for yougn den-o was the previous one? Ahh, ...

If nothing else, at least it's more educational than ToQger's ending bumper (Everyone's Train Corner), which was just a blatant plug for the Japanese railroad industry. :lol:

Re: KR Gotchard 26 thread

Oh nice, someone remembered that there's supposed to be a plot driving this power escalation fantasy! I was just talking about Level 10/X cards and the Dark Door last week, so while I don't claim to be clairvoyant, I don't claim to not be clairvoyant, either. But seriously, while the show hasn't exa...

Re: King-Ohger Series Discussion and Poll

>Speaking of arcs, this is about as close to a fully serialized Sentai as I expect we'll see for quite some time to come. Speaking of which, maybe it's time for a change with the year long series? Game of Thrones is a tight story of hour long episodes of 10 per season. Trying to tell one story over...

Re: Boonboomger 01 discussion thread

(And what kind of name is Boondorio , anyhow?) They don't say his full name in-show, so you don't get the full awfulness of it, but he's Boondorio Boonderas. Which, if you couldn't tell, is a really bad play on "Antonio Banderas" Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here *blinks* An A...

Re: Boonboomger 01 discussion thread

There's a lot to unpack with this series. And given how bombastic first episodes can be, I think I'm going to hold off for another episode or two before making too many judgements, since I don't have a feel for what a "normal" episode is going to be like. Still, if the rest of the series i...

Re: King-Ohger Series Discussion and Poll

I've been spending a lot of time mulling over what to write about these series. It's super easy (and super fun!) to write about something you hate. And writing about something you loved from star to finish is also pretty simple. But writing about something in the middle takes a lot of nuance. Overal...

Re: KR Gotchard 25 thread

Hence the naval-gazing aspect. Plot holes and Kamen Rider go together like Super Sentai and giant robots.

Now if I really wanted to be pedantic, I could ask why hasn't anyone tried to steal the Gotchard driver in the last 3 months to finally open the Dark Door. :lol:

Re: KR Gotchard 25 thread

This is just a stupid aside, but shouldn't all of Ichinose's level X cards have staged a mass jailbreak by now? The whole thing about level X Chemys is that they "can't be contained," and that they reside in their cards and help Ichinose voluntarily. So they should be able to up and leave ...

Re: KR Gotchard 25 thread

Unfortunately, I think we're all generally on the same page here on fidning this episode underwhelming. The only things that really worked well were the action scenes; the plot and the character beats that set up all of this fell flat. What do the different ring colors mean??? As best as I can tell,...
