Kouga beat you to it by about a day, plus he used the specified thread just for those kinds of issues.

A Deneb special candy to those who can properly count how many Nogami Ryotaro there are in that movie.

That's weird. It's not like he had a group of dancers in the TV series. [/sarcasm]

I'm so proud! You remembered the sarcasm tag!

[Silentwolfdog]

There was special guests? I didn't see that. You mean only for voice part or also for acting part? Now I know why one actor seemed so familiar...lol.


I love the end part of the movie. Now Ryou can remember parents' face instead of looking at picture or forgetting. I wish that someone will do that for me too. Having a memory like that would be truly precious.

Also, watching all five riders get bombed by mere one rider...wow, just wow.

Those two scenes were pretty powerful scenes for me.

That little Ryou is pretty cool for being a child. All throughout the movie, I feel like Seig is pretty much random thing, and even others treated him like one. lol

weeee a BIG thanks to you guys!!..^_^

[Dengar]

That's because Sieg WAS there randomly. Which in my opinion suits him. Not that anyone hates him, but no one in the series really likes him. But he's the only one who could possess Ryoutarou at the time, so he's sort of a plot device. Still, his precense and the attitude of the others was funny enough.

Thanks again guys, i would not be nearly as nerdy as i could be if not all these subs.

you win one hundred internets

[ardzeii]

Thanks for this excellent release, T-N Staff!

... You know, I was really waiting for Wing Form to throw a Proper Blank at the defeated Imagin after his full charge attack. (sorry, I just can't help but comment on this, I just finished watching Blade yesterday)

[noxid]

Ore Sanjou, Ore Tanjou, Ore Danjou!

Too bad they did not explain more of Ryoutarou's random kidnapping the the series...

ORE! GANO! take that!

(forgive me if I get a little verbose. Talking a lot is my way of showing appreciation. Honest!)

Ahhh, finally the Den-O Movie, and answers to all those questions that sprung up after episode 27. The CGI is so pretty after watching the series, it's a real treat. I'm surprised they didn't sneak some of it out for use in the series (there are so many shots of Den-O just driving along time, you'd have thought they could borrow some... I guess it could be a bit jarring.)

Overall while it was a very enjoyable release I'm a little disappointed by a few questions that remain unanswered. I'm hoping the Director's Cut will fill in these areas, but I'm doubtful, since Den-O in general seemed to have a lot of "don't think too hard" aspects to its plot, preferring simple fun over a grandiose story. Particularly I wanted a little backstory on Gaou. What I picked up from the pre-release bumf was that he was a Kamen Rider from the Tokugawa Era (although if he comes from the time they travelled to in the film, it's more like end of Heisei, warring states time). However, how did he wind up in the 2000s? How does he know about God's Line and God's Train? Where did he get his belt, and how does he henshin withou an Imajin? (I know that Zeronos can do this too, but it seems that doing a gattai with an Imajin is the most common way...) Like I said, I doubt these questions will be put to rest in the Director's Cut, but it'd be nice. They did see fit to throw in some backstory for God's Train, but that only confused me more. So... some Aztec/Inca king built a time travelling train? Wow, I guess they had even better technology than we thought!

In the end I find Ore Tanjo to be a lot like the Den-O series, a little lacking in depth and complexity, but whimsical and enjoyable. The angle with Ryoutarou's parents was a nice touch. I have to ask, though, was I the only one who thought that his dad was going to eat him?! His expression was terrifying! Anyway, I'm really pleased that they worked it into the series rather well, and hope that Kiva or other series follow this example (especially a more serious series- like Kiva- where they could really use the extra time and budget to pull off something that really contributes to the story).

Also, did anyone else notice Ryoutarou's T-Shirt? I was just watching through and suddenly went "Huh. Is that a naked woman?" He seems to be wearing a "Mustang Ranch, Quality Control Supervisor" shirt, with a naked woman lounging on the logo. For such a reserved guy, he seems to have slightly risque taste in T-Shirts!

That Momo has never done 2 Full Charges before....why hasn't he ever done in the series? It'd be epic if he did, but too late.

Wrong! Well, they are all the same Ryo but that's not how I ment it

[densetsu_x]

Well there was:

1: the Ryoutarou that everyone knows and loves who suffered amnesia
2: Kotaro (?) ... anyway, that would be "Mini-Me" who became Mini-Den-O.
3,4,5: The 3 Yuuto went Pedo on, brought back to the past, and that the Taros used for the Climax.
and I think there would be
6: Baby Ryoutarou (at the very end).

That should cover it.

[Skinwalker]

It was cool... Kind of messy with stuff like Sieg and some things, but good. Couldn't help but feel slightly let down with some of the action though.

Still, I really liked having some more character development to Ryoutarou. Nice thing to have in a canon movie.

Also was cool recognising Gaou from GARO and the princess' bodyguard from playing Tadokoro in Kabuto. But I'm sure I recognised at least one other face from elsewhere, the princess and maybe someone else?
