I'll also agree that it's hard to see Emu's supposed personality change, but maybe it's just a reference to his behavior. Normally he's pretty still when he's isn't tripping over himself, but as Ex-Aid he really bounces everywhere. Also, I'm starting to warm-up to the clumsiness now that it's been t...

I wouldn't mind talking belts if we went back to the 555 style of it. "Standing By.... Complete." Simple, quick, and sounded great in any situation.
I like the talking belts, even Gaim's despite it being a little ridiculous, but this one is a bit too much for me.

I forgot about it by the time I got home, unfortunately. I was really tired at that point.

Hiiro was a great character to introduce. A rival that doesn't agree with Emu, but still lets him help out in battle. Funnily so didn't I make the Ka-GA-mi connections until I went to the forum and it's funny to see that some said Hiiro seemed more like the protagonist while that was what our frien...

Quick note, her name's Asuna. Asumu would mean something like "tomorrow's dream". Whereas Asuna is more like "the tomorrow". I just realized her family name being Karino is kind of funny. Like in AkibaRangers and in some manga, there's this joke where they'll put in "kari&q...

So was Emu using the fiance to lure out the Bugster, since the Bugster knew kidnapping her would psychically torment the patient guy? You see how this might come off as bad writing? This might just be how I'm rationalising it, but I felt that Emu's plan was to lower the patient's stress to resist t...

10pm Eastern? I may be able to make it, though possibly just for Ex-Aid. I don't think I'll be home in time for Jyuohger, and I haven't started Garo yet so I'll jump out before then.

We talking Amazon from Amazon or Amazon from Amazons? Cause if it's the first that covers that as well. His motivation was a scientist who know of ten-face and his forces found a lost Japanese boy in the amazons and decided to make him a cyborg/modified human in order to battle against the monster ...

Wizard's motivation generally was to prevent people from falling into despair. That goes along with the hope that Takenoko said. Ghost, he wanted to come back to life, but also wanted to find all the eyecons cause he's a history nerd, but also wanted to defend the world from a ganma invasion, but a...

This'll be the first Rider series I'll be watching as it airs, and I'm looking forward to it. What I disliked - Emu's constant clumsiness. Ryoutarou made it all work in Den-O because it was scripted really well, but here it felt very out of place. - The lighter tone was a bit too heavy. I don't mind...

Wasn't Kabutos to destroy all worms? That was the whole point with the climax against Tsurugi. We're more discussing why he was so willing to do it, besides the general saving people thing. In this case, I suggested he wanted revenge for his parents, while Takenoko suggested that he wanted to keep ...

Kabuto - He wanted revenge for his parents, I think? I don't think he ever talks about saving people, but we do see how passionate he is about family, so... Tendou wants to protect his little sister Right, he even punched Tsurugi when she got scratched. Kiva - Did he have one? Didn't he have a char...

Although every Rider can be boiled down to saving people and protecting the world, most of them do have their own specific motivations for what they're doing. I didn't find another thread talking about it, so I decided to make one. Ghost ended, so now seems like a good time to discuss it. Some Rider...

I didn't see this in time to vote, but if I had I would've voted for Fourze. I don't hate his suit design, but it has the least "Kamen Rider" look about it to me, and is very awkward when compared to other Rider suits.

the whole thing-ala-doo with Asumu wanting to become a doctor despite following Hibiki around the whole dang show (and there was no inkling beforehand that a doctor was what he wanted). I preferred that, honestly. Asumu showed signs of becoming a better person, but not becoming a stronger person un...
