This is why I always skip the previews first time watching. It's pretty much a trope to show the big shocking reveal for the next ep in almost every preview. I'm reminded of the injury reveal from Hitchhiker's Guide where they tell you who bruised their arm so you wouldn't suffer the health-threatening anxiety of not knowing until the next ep/chapter.PTM966666 wrote:nice episode, interesting ending, but then the preview jumped in and spoiled all the fun...

They don't tell you who bruised their arm, they just tell you that someone's arm was bruised:Ashki wrote: I'm reminded of the injury reveal from Hitchhiker's Guide where they tell you who bruised their arm so you wouldn't suffer the health-threatening anxiety of not knowing until the next ep/chapter.
And then, at the very end of the episode, after the credits:Stress and nervous tension are now serious social problems in all parts of the galaxy and it is in order that this situation should not be in any way exacerbated that the following facts will now be revealed in advanced: The planet in question, is, in fact, Magrathea. The deadly nuclear missile attack shortly to be launched by an ancient automatic defence system will merely result in the bruising of somebody’s upper arm, and the untimely creation and sudden demise of a bowl of petunias and an innocent sperm whale. In order that some sense of mystery should still be preserved no revelation will yet be made concerning whose upper arm has been bruised. This fact may safely be made the subject of suspense since it is of no significance whatsoever.
So slightly different but your point still stands ^^ARTHUR: I’m sorry, but I’d probably be able to cope better if I hadn’t bruised my arm…

Re: KR Amazons 10 released
The reveal varies slightly between the TV series, radio drama, and books. That's one of the things I loved about the Guide is that every version contradicted each other (and sometimes themselves) so you had a different expeience every time. I wish more writers would learn to do this.
On a side note: I'm going to be going spare once Amazon ends. Four releases per week, and two of them mature series... I mean, I'm in the middle of both GoRanger and Sun Vulcan, so I won't notice the huge 50% drop in T-N releases as much assome others, but hopefully we'll get some eps from a shelved series now that the workload's going to ease up *coughKuugacough* or maybe a jump on the blu-ray updated releases. Unlike many others on here, I don't watch much western TV, so these subs are my free hamburgers.

That's fine, just remember to come visit from time to time. We've always got random movies and stuff going on. It's always good to have another voice in the conversation

Oh, I may go silent now and then (don't usually have much time to check the forums), but I've been here for years now. Plus, there's still Super Hero Time to keep up on! ^_-

Re: KR Amazons 10 released
I just caught up and I have to say: "Holy **** this is so awesome!" I know it's probably not a popular opinion around here but Den-O+ Kamen Rider series have lost the Kamen Rider soul (IMHO). I'm glad that the demand for a pure and true series of Kamen Rider was high enough to do this. I almost want to know how I can give them my money I want this to be so successful. I hope they take this approach and keep going with it. I'd love to see more like this past Amazons. If it is localized, I'm buying the crap out of it. This could be the start of something amazing!

Re: KR Amazons 10 released
If Kamen Rider lost its soul around Den-O then it lost it for a good reason: Den-O is one of the most popular Rider shows of all time. However, if Amazons creates a huge buzz and becomes popular then perhaps future KR's will swing back from comedic and light to being dark and gritty?

Re: KR Amazons 10 released
I think he's referring to the criticism that Kamen Rider became a lot more light hearted and less gritty with the start of Den-O. I'd rather not get into an argument about that here though. If people want to talk about it, I can create a new topic in the Kamen Rider forums and let them argue about it there.

Re: KR Amazons 10 released
Sorry I didn't want to start an argument. I'm just glad the demand is out there, I was losing faith. I started with Kabuto and the more I went backwards (555, Ryuki, Agito, Black, etc) the more I liked them. But I'm just excited for this! Thank you so much for subbing this!!!takenoko wrote:I think he's referring to the criticism that Kamen Rider became a lot more light hearted and less gritty with the start of Den-O.

What you said was fine. I was just trying to preempt an off-topic argument. Hopefully it didn't sound like I was criticizing you personally.

Re: KR Amazons 10 released
Nah, no criticizing done there. Buuuut if you do want to start that "traditional Rider vs New Rider" debate thread, I wont stop you. I'd gladly voice my opinion more thoroughly.takenoko wrote:What you said was fine. I was just trying to preempt an off-topic argument. Hopefully it didn't sound like I was criticizing you personally.

Re: KR Amazons 10 released
I'm thinking they are building up Sigma to be the final boss of the season. (I know there are three episodes left) Aside from that, I'm glad I ate before I saw the ending.
Re: KR Amazons 10 released
All the downloads in the Direct Downloads section that I tried says that the files were deleted, I'm sorry that this is off topic but I thought you guys should know this.

We leave the direct downloads to volunteers, so unfortunately that sort of thing happens.
