Re: KR Ghost 01 released
The only thing I found truly horrifying was that one guy's teeth! YIKES! So much for the bad guy dental plan this season.
Re: KR Ghost 01 released
98 divided by 14 is exactly seven days. Hey it sounds like a weekly homework assignment! Combined with what I believe to be more text boxes of historical mentions, Ghost is going to be more educational versus other Rider series, without having educational material either in the eyecatch or closing. Time to submit your papers kids!takenoko wrote:98 days to find 14 more Eyecons? Even if he doesn't just find one immediately like he did today, that still leaves him an average of a week between findings to do it. 15 isn't a large number.
And the short end of a semester is fifteen weeks! I anticipate more educational things along the way being that Akari is there to spout physics and science.
And is it me or Yurusen is a bit of a play on urusai? (that reminds me of Navi of what we all want to call her on at times). Maybe it is only me... and my bad botching of connecting things.
Overall, an episode trying to vie for viewer attention and draw to the series by putting every showy element, brazen character flandarizations, and a "trying" relatable protagonist in style. But each of the characters so far comes off as the same as before in Japan media. You got the overbearing (I think) sister, you got the "butler" priest, and you have your "likeable" anime boy in image portrayal. Then you have many mixed CGI and staging that emphasizes the taste of the villians, but honestly don't do much other than be showy in image rather than the meaning of the enemy outburst and a glimpse of their reason (yes we all seen the mysterious activation of some doo-dad, but the beginning doesn't highlight WHY we should be scared. Maybe the point of Ghost is to have viewers not be frightened by the supernatural?
Do like Ghost's suit in action, it is indeed returning to what Gaim did with the arms change series. It makes me wonder if the secondary rider would also share in the Eyecon's powers. Not too fond of the bike though, and amongst being the showy first episode, had to fit in bike-fu too. Not exactly fond of the belt, as it definitely is like Fourze's, with the same lever/handle placement and the translucent blue color, this time no switches or bulky display of the suit, just an eye hole.
It is, well under average for a Kamen Rider series first episode. I will give this a chance... but it seems like it is going to be the worst combinations of OOOs and Wizard.

Re: KR Ghost 01 released
The first episode did grew on me. At first, it wasn't too special, but I enjoy how it's fast paced in which it cramped two episode in one. I prefer this more, since in the past Toku pilot episode I have been seeing tends to drag a little by wasting time on one shot characters that we don't care about. Not going to lied, after finishing Drive, I still had some problems with the series like with how the first half was slow and the second half was rush. Overall, it was a simple, yet an effective pilot episode.
P.S. I'm also curious to know how the 99 days is going to play out. Will it end around the time Takeru get his Final Form which I prefer more and make a lot of sense, or when the series ends.
Score: 4/5

Re: KR Ghost 01 released
Was thinking the same thing. Just made me stop and thinking well... he could just get his butt handed to himself over-in-over and still somehow beat the baddies down.Vashiev20 wrote:Plus i think the "you're a ghost so you cant die" kind of robs the intensity and danger from the fights
And then the 15 Eyecons within 99 Days - No need to rush feeling.
This Ep. felt kinda 'meh' wasn't good or bad ( I will give it points for it not being overwhelming like Drive / Ninnin Ep.01 was though.) - doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it (cause I did).

Re: KR Ghost 01 released

So basically, Madoka has taken over Kyubee's role? (If I'm reading the va names right...)Akari wrote:You know....That makes me think...They really kind of arent making "death" too big of a deal. Its like, "Oh they killed you? Here's a belt, an eyeball with your soul in it, and Henshin!" YAY!!!!!
Also, anyone else reminded of Wizard's Henshin noises when Ghost Henshins?

Those people on the Pirate ship Ride and the Sightseeing Tower properly all died. Death has consequence, people's lives are at stake. Takeru is the lucky one that has a chance to come back to life, but not the others. When they're gone, they're gone.

Re: KR Ghost 01 released
I liked it. I want the shirt-thing with cherry blossoms the main guy was wearing.
Lunagel I liked your translation choice there with Icon. Well done.
Timing does seem to be an interesting point. 99 days is roughly three months. Normally KR episodes seem to be roughly related to the real calendar time (with 2 parters matching up to 2 days followed by a couple weeks). They may not be able to do that - in fact it looks summery there, the show should never look like it goes as long as winter unless the 15/99 thing is not the overarching series goal but just a first half. And that would actually be interesting - if he can fully revive at the mid point of the show and then some bigger threat comes along that would be good.
I can't believe the bundled fishcake commercial already spoilered his first couple forms. I suppose in Japan everything there is to know about the new show was on full blast for the previous 2 months already.

Re: KR Ghost 01 released
On a more nitpicky note... Way to destroy a super important artifact of Japanese History by turning the crossguard of one of Musashi's swords into an eyecon... got a worrying feeling this won't be the first historical artifact to get used... Though I do wonder if the 15 eyecons will mean 15 Ghost forms, or, if they split them a second or even third Rider, how many each one will get.

Re: KR Ghost 01 released
Saw some good CGI (for the first time in tokusatsu) for the Parka ghosts.
Which font did you use for the Ganma dialogs? It's pretty cool...

Re: KR Ghost 01 released
Thats my first thought. Since every Hesei Rider, as far as I can remember, took place over one year. So either they plan to change that or more likely the 15 Eyecons is only the first story arc.Alessar wrote:I likeoverarching series goal but just a first half.

Thats Japan for you. I stopped watching the Episode previews because they show everything. Like Drive Type Tridoron debut and Chases demise.Alessar wrote:I can't believe the bundled fishcake commercial already spoilered his first couple forms.
