Hibiki Series Discussion

Post by Tuss4 »

I loved this series. Akira Fuse has an awesome voice! According to wiki, if it were not for the staff changes, and all around crappyness of the new staff, we would have seen Asumu in Oni form, along with Kiriya. That peeved me.

Yeah, I'm sure the wiki is real reliable, especially when it comes to stuff about rumors

I heard in the original script Kirya and Asumu were BFF!

It's okay. One of best? I don't think so for myself.

I think it's neat to watch someone play music and use it as a weapon. Yes, I know I can't hear, but who cares? So I find that neat because it's like I could understand their music in my own way.

Out of all designs from Faiz to Den-O, this one is by far my favorite. Such a lovely costume on all of them.

However, I felt like there's a hole in plot. Like I wasn't sure what point they were trying to get across, I guess because I am used to have evil having reasons to rule or destroy the world. It's like villians aren't important in this series as they were in others.

Helmetless riders! So cool! So sexy!

And second rider series I saw to have a female riders (despite it being short time or having them turned evil.)

Now I think about it, I have forgot to watch the movie. <.<;

For Hibiki you have to think about it not as a complete story, but rather a segment out of life. The Makamou have been plaguing humanity since ancient times, they're not a new evil that was created and will go away.

This makes me kind of happy though, because it means that the Oni will always have a purpose. It's not like they become Oni for a year, defeat the bad guys, then no longer are heroes anymore. So in this sense, they will always be heroes, which I liked.

I also liked Kiriya, but like I said in another thread, I like antagonistic characters.

^ Ah I see...

That make sense. I haven't thought about this way.

I don't have much opinion about Kiriya. I guess I found him amusing and interesting after reading comments on forum about no one liked him. To me it's kinda hard to hate him if he's cute. lol

He got to be the only actor of new generations that got to be a rider twice in two different universe. Right?

My favorite got to be the naive rider that plays trumpet (forgot his name). It's interesting to see a gentle and naive person turning into a hero and a mentor as part of his job. Also it's interesting to watching him struggles with his student as well. He's ones of those that you don't really expect to be a rider at all.

There have been two from Ryuki actually. I don't want to mention because they're spoilers. I'm sure people interested in the answer can wiki it.

>My favorite got to be the naive rider that plays trumpet (forgot his name).

Ibuki? I liked Akira and him, but I felt like they had the weakest storyline. It was basically the same relationship as Asumu and Hibiki, but not as interesting.

>He's ones of those that you don't really expect to be a rider at all.

Another thing I liked about Hibiki was that all the Riders were nice guys. None of that Rider versus Rider stuff that they tend to overdo.

The Todoroki and Zanki angle was my favorite aspect of the show. Easily one of the best sub-plots in all of Kamen Rider.

I agree that Ibuki's little story was fairly interesting, but it wasn't as interesting as it could have been. Probably because it didn't get as much attention by the writers.

I don't know why, but I would have liked to know more about Sabaki, I mean his costume looked really raw!

By Kiriya's second episode appearance, I couldn't stand him. He was more of an annoyance, to me, than anything else. The way he was an antagonist to Asumu was poorly executed in my eyes.
