I finally got to watch it this past Saturday. I'm impressed. It seems to retain the "Kamen Rider is darker than Sentai" feel. Of course it's not going to be extremely dark, but it's nice to know it's not extremely kiddiefied either. It gives me hope that the Kamen Rider franchise is in goo...

I had written a post about how the math does not compute to allow Tommy to be Dr. Thomas Oliver, DPal. But there's some time gap betwixt In Space and Lost Galaxy, yet it does not seem to be enough to allow him 4 years of bachelor's studies, 3-4 years of Master's, and then however long it would take...

*sigh* i know what you mean,another problem i've had is reading magazines with rider or sentai on the cover and people around me=on the bus or whatever are like "OH! POWER RANGERS!" I use photo card of the Den-O movie as a bookmark in one of my textbooks, and whenever a friend of mine see...

I have fond memories of MMPR season 2. It seemed a little less campy than season 1. Plus it had White Ranger vs Green Ranger. That was a nice little gem. Zeo was just weird for me. I dunno if it's because of the switch to new costumes, but it just seemed...off. The first half of Turbo was fairly bad...

Depends on the series. I'd pick up Maskman or Liveman in a heartbeat.

It's a nice dream. Perhaps they'll do it with Kamen Rider if Dragon Knight is a success. Let people see what it's based on.

I wish I could watch VR troopers again because I enjoyed it as a kid, but I wonder hwo it would hold up against my new modern 'adult' eyes. It probably would. From what I remember, VR Troopers didn't try to cram moral values down your throat like PR did at the time. It wasn't really dark, but it wa...

Shows always seem to be cancelled on Cliffhangers, I think they do it intensionally. >.< A couple of times this is true believe it or not. The shows are up for cancellation so they end it on a cliffhanger hoping that it would generate enough fan interest to bring it back. I believe it's never worke...

Why Disney couldn't create their own original tv show without uses stock footage from SS since they got load of moneys from everything (movie to clothes to food to junk). Eh, everytime someone says that they should use original footage and all, I'm reminded of Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from B...

And it's funny how the Japanese call it "Masked Rider" while the Americans call it "Kamen Rider". Do American kids know what "Kamen" is, supposing that they have never encountered the "Kamen Rider" from Japan? I think some people have an idea of what "Ka...

Something that popped into my head randomly last night.

Out of all the modern Riders, which one had the fastest henshin? From "Henshin!" to completed form.

I would have to go with Ryuki here. It was pretty damn fast.

Really? I could have sworn I heard that it was the most popular.

Then which series did have the highest?

Kabuto had the most stylish in my opinion. It used to be my favorite for a while, but I have to say Ryuki's has taken first place. It looks the most damaging.

Black RX was the first rider kick I've seen though and always holds a special place in my heart.

I wouldn't say Hibiki is the black sheep. Blade is probably one of the best series of them all, but it has the lowest ratings between Kuuga and Hibiki. The ratings actually improved starting with Hibiki and ended up averaging out around the low points of viewership for Ryuki and Faiz. Which series ...

Two things before I start. 1) I hope this is the appropiate forum for this as I noticed there isn't a general Kamen Rider forum. However, since it involves Kiva as well as previous riders, It should be alright. There is a general Kamen Rider forum. Look harder. It's there. Ah I found it. I was look...

There's been goofy moments since Kuuga. Not to say there isn't a dark edge anymore Someone could make a similar video, find a few selects scenes and go "Kamen Rider is so much darker than it was before" True. But in general, the series has taken a lighthearted tone compared to earlier rid...
