KR Geats Hyper Battle DVD discussion
Wiki
This hyper battle video is pretty amazing so far. Way to go Keiwa. This really makes me miss some of the early dynamics with Keiwa and Neon. Bring back the core trio to its full power!
Come on, I like Ouja but isn't this a bit too much?
Now you're thikning with revolve ons
What? Where did Ouja go?
Gotta say, it's sort of a delight to follow Buffa around for once. Like he's a good character and deserves some spotlight
Buffa looks like he's just wearing Ouja's chestplate, but Geats looks like he's waering a kid's cosplay version of Ryuki
/me claps. Congratulations, Michinaga
Where did that cop come from? Michi is obviously napping on a roof
Yes. For too long sentai has been monopolizing the dance sequences. It's time for Riders to dance too
Toei, please put out Blu-rays of HBVs...
That was a lot of fun. Exactly the kind of energy HBVs should have

Re: KR Geats Hyper Battle DVD discussion
Man, that was awesome! The first half was everything I could want from a Geats hyper battle DVD. It's good to see Michinaga and Keiwa's actors' experience in boy bands put to some use. Why the heck was Ace in shorts, I can never unseen that ... And this is the first time I've ever said this about a KR season, but Geats lacks some lightheartedness. The Geats cast are so fun in any kind of lightheaded stuff, I want more of this.
As much as I like to see my favorite cast/actors doing dance sequences and stuff, I think Super Sentai should get to keep it. This is the only thing Kamen Rider can't beat Super Sentai at, so please Toei, don't take it away from Super Sentai. Because you guys are too unfair to Super Sentai to begin with.

Re: KR Geats Hyper Battle DVD discussion
Apparently, Geats' Legend Rider Forms (because Primary Riders just always have them now as conceptual forms if nothing else) are all just Boost with the corresponding Rider's design added on, which they apparently decided to stick to, but didn't bother with Ouja so they just used the chest piece and made the visor look similar.
I can appreciate sticking to the design that already existed off screen, but it doesn't look very good and definitely doesn't hold up when another Rider's doing the same thing with clearly different results.

Congratulations for the Game Show Contestant Sentai Disgragers for getting their Sentai dance!
My only sad part is that this means that Tsumuri won't get to henshin. The other time we had a Kamen Rider show do a Sentai dance was Saber and Mei never got to change even though she was in the ending dance.

As the others have already noted, the first half of that was pretty good. It was completely bonkers, which is exactly what you expect out of a HBV.
But then Ouja shows up to fulfill the obligatory fight sequence. It's not a bad fight, but dipping into Ryuki doesn't add anything, either. It mostly just serves to break the overall flow of the special.
On the plus side, Keiwa ending up in a cage is the most Keiwa thing ever.
And for a special shot entirely on the Toei backlot, they made surprisingly good use of the space. It never stops looking like the Toei backlot, but it doesn't feel nearly as cramped as it otherwise would.
Toei is paying for all 6 feet of Kan Hideyoshi, so I guess they want to get their money's worth.

Agreed. Normally he's playing the heel, or the anti-hero at best. Technically he's a protagonist here - or at least as close as one can get - which is a rare way for him to be portrayed.
Ahh, so that's why Geats' looked so bad. I couldn't put my thumb on it early on, but seeing this explanation makes sense.Buffa looks like he's just wearing Ouja's chestplate, but Geats looks like he's waering a kid's cosplay version of Ryuki
That DVDs have managed to hold on for as long as they have has always surprised me. The hardware needed to decode a Blu-ray may as well be free these days. And the laser is only slightly more expensive. This would have been filmed in HD, so it's a shame we'll never get to see it in that format. (HBVs are never uploaded to TTFC, are they?)Toei, please put out Blu-rays of HBVs...

Re: KR Geats Hyper Battle DVD discussion
Isn't that the weird, choose-your-own-adventure one? If you're only going to include a single HBV, that is easily the oddest of them all to use.

Re: KR Geats Hyper Battle DVD discussion
Yeah it's really an odd choice (like, why wouldn't you share Ixa-cise with the world again come on) and the weirdest thing is that while it does include every option, the whole video repeats twice to turn a 30 minute video into a 90 minute video. It's bizarre. The only thing different between the three versions is in what order you beat up the riders, which okay, I guess the menu is slightly different but the video is completely the same.
