Fuck you made it too early

Critique Zeztz' aesthetics.

>>23369578
Does the OZC torrent on nyaa fix the magenta shit or should I look in the mega?

WHY DON'T WE GO? EVERYBODY!

The lever is inspired by old Typhoon toys

The one thing I dont like about Sachika is how much of a bystander she is despite being so close to the riders.
She has no real connection to the granute issue and is just a handyman helping out.

/krg/ loves her because she isn’t involved like the previous reiwa heroines are but by this point she would’ve gotten a focus episode as a victim of the MoTW. it’s weird that she hasn’t been targeted yet.

>>23369608
The OZC release fixes the shit like Ornac and Wärring.

I feel so defeated using a thread done by a newfag, God I hate being autistic

>>23369618
That's really cool, nice catch

>>23369626
And the ei ei oh?

>>23369633
I had to fix it for the webm, it also kept Zenith Arms.

>>23369635
God damn it.

>>23369600
I love the suit, it's an interesting redesign of Ichigo even if it looks more like another toku imitating Ichigo rather than a proper Kamen Rider. The way it glows in the dark is insanely cool too.
But despite liking the suit conceptually I cannot really bring myself to enjoy it because of how many Ichigo redesigns we've gotten as of late making it feel less special.

>>23369600
>Broadcast and streaming are scheduled to air in:
>USA, Canada, Hong Kong, South Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam and the MENA region. More details coming soon!
usacanada????

The only Reiwa Ichigo-homage we ever needed, and they defiled its corpse many times over until they forget (that it ever was an homage).

>>23369638
Seems that SHOUT convinced Toei to air it in the US. Shout is pretty based, I watched all of Kuuga on their channel on Youtube.

>>23369638
Yeah we're getting official English subs on YouTube, just in time too because the two main subber groups of Kamen Rider are going to be taking a break this year.
Hopefully the subs are at least innofensive like with TokuShoutsu's

Green Ultraman.

>>23369641
Didn't shout have a gay communist subber that whined about how ultraman is racist?

>>23369649
News to me. Shame. Hope they fired him.

Hope the new producer Yanaka can pull it off for Zeztz

>>23369600
>TRADITION
It's going to be about marriage too.

>No more sexy female monster's suits for Zeztz
Fuck

>>23369600
It doesn’t look like a suit with a Grasshopper motif. It looks like a suit based off a suit that has a grasshopper motif. The antennae seem vestigial.

>>23369593 (OP)
Zeztz really looks like a redone Century.

>>23369618
>The driver at Girls Remix 2 is actually Zeztz Driver all this time
We never knew...

>>23369653
If true, I'll forgive them for going official in the West

The first kamen rider show airing in the west and it’s using ai lol get fucked westaboo

DANKE WHALE!

>>23369600
Why not make this "revice" instead of the one we got?

>>23369622
Yeah, the Agents can find Shouma's whereabouts while he's actively on the run in just 4 episodes but they can't find the big flashy place he's been staying at for nearly 40 episodes.

>>23369675
You say that like it isn't the case for the majority of other shows as well

>>23369670
sankyu whale

>>23369656
Stop overreacting, Puniru is a kodomo show that's smutty as fuck yet the subs didn't censor anything.
If you want an even better example TokuShoutsu released English subs for Carranger yet didn't censor Zonette, it's unlikely they'll do that for future seasons. Although Zeztz might not get any due to being done by a drama producer.

>>23369668
This is only a teaser, think of that Gotchard teaser that had bodybuilder music for no reason. If the actual show uses AI it won't be for anything major. Also Gozyuger already uses AI but that's for a lore reason.

>>23369670
Thank you Whale

That looks more like her Onii-chan than Papa...

>>23369676
Every other Reiwa show had the villains crash at the heroes' home/HQ at some point, and their MCs weren't even being actively hunted down for the entire show like Shouma was.

>Zeztz uses AI to piss off people and get them to hate the show, causing a huge enough stink to tarnish the IP so Toei gives it a break.
>Gozyuger announces itself as the last Sentai so they get a break as well.
>Toei pulls out all the stops for One Piece, even siphoning budget from Precure to feed it...
>A huge hour slot is now available.

"Hey, Wit Studio, we just found a good slot for The One Piece!"

>>23369656
It's AI, the monster suits are gonna be sexy whether you want it to or not.

>>23369600
Suit's neato, but I don't like the lack of a belt. Also the toy is nice and sleek, but it kind of comes across as somewhat non-descript and boring, rather than just being slick. The gimmick toys aren't exactly wowing me or got me curious at first glance, either.

>>23369600
It looks like the Andrew Garfield of Kamen Rider suits, but I do love the color scheme. I hope he's able to do a lot of cool fight and stunt scenes if they're going to go this minimalistic for a suit.

Looking forward to the detailed toy listing next week.

>>23369600
I was not prepared for the tone of that video, holy shit. I'm insanely interested in where they're going with this. Such tonal whiplash coming from Gavv

>>23369678
>If you want an even better example TokuShoutsu released English subs for Carranger yet didn't censor Zonette
To be fair, those are DVDs made for adult nerds and are marketed as such with the "Before Power Rangers there was Super Sentai" tagline. Power Rangers, which actually aired in the mornings on childrens' TV blocks was more conservative than their JP counterparts.

>>23369688
I'm a bit 50/50 on it. It entirely lacks that bit of cheesiness that gives tokusatsu a part of its charm. It's deadset 101% cool factor serious

>>23369681
Toei Company, Ltd. and Toei Animation Co., Ltd. are two separate studios, dumbass.

>>23369689
They streamed the Carranger subs on youtube but I don't know if the reason they were allowed to do that was because it was a livestream rather than a proper youtube video upload

Zeztz’s toys will be on display during Bandai Toys Bilibili World exhibition next Friday.

I don't mind if Takahashi is writing Zeztz.

>>23369697
Careful what you joke about, or it might actually happen

>>23369600
The suit is fine, but I'm not a fan of the AI backgrounds. I get that Toei is a typical jap corpo that wants to cut everything down to the bone, but it's gonna make the show look like shit.

Look at this little dude

>>23369697
>>"we want diversity audience in rider"
What does that mean? Are you talking about having diverse colors? Because these shows are made to appeal to Japan and the designs of anything are not that diverse when it comes to the main Rider designs with 3 of them being based on Ichigo and one of them partially being a rejected Zero-One design

I hope Takahashi wrote it

>>23369703
Why couldn't lemon say it wasn't feline, him saying "it's inceneroar but not a tiger" made things unnecessarily confusing, at least it caused a lot of people larping as leakers to get called out I guess

>>23369692
The powers seem to be whacky at least but at the same time they feel Ultraman-like so I don't know how the final result will be

>>23369600
>>23369640
Added to the collage

>>23369703
I can kinda see the Incineroar that the leakers saw in it, but it looks like a beetleman in a battleskirt from here, like a Digimon kinda.

>>23369704
>made to appeal to japan
Not anymore.
Look at Zeztz and you tell me this isn't shirakura bending to knee to western demands.

>>23369718
>>23369581
Why do you let Shirakura live rent-free in your head instead of actually reading interviews and production notes?

>>23369716
>no belt on his waist
not an Ichigo homage, fuck off

>>23369722
Anon has his thing he gets mad at, so he stays mad at it. It keeps him calm.

Im ngl im not too optimistic about this whole western debut deal

>>23369727
So you hate Shin, ZO and J too?

>Otherwise yeah it's a mix of massive overreactions of people who let AI live rent free in their heads and shitposting schizos
I WANT EVEN SLOPPIER PRODUCTIONS
CHURNED OUT FASTER
BY PEOPLE WHO GET PAID LESS
AND I AM NOT KIDDING

>>23369658
was this suit used for kitbashes already?

>>23369733
The show won't have AI backgrounds anon, you're just looking for excuses to get mad at
For the love of god just look at King-Ohger, this is the exact same situation as that show

>>23369734
Yeah

>>23369735
Gozyuger has AI backgrounds
>well that's just the theme of the vill-
How convenient.

>>23369739
>teehee I love having bad faith arguments in the kamen rider general

>>23369739
But that's literally the reason, outside of that they've only used in meaningless shit like papers that only appear for 3 seconds
It's Artificial Intelligence = AI = Love + AI are bad imitating hands so the villain is a hand + AI get shit wrong so the kaijin are mix of words that sound similar to the monster's motif because it's misinterpreting
Besides Gozyuger has only one AI background, which is partially made with proper CGI and whenever they show the inside of the No One world city it's an actual city during nighttime with a proper CGI skybox

>>23369700
Reddit-tier meme befitting a Takahashifag.

I actually think Zero One was good

>>23369738
AI Slop

"Kamen Rider" is trending on my xitter.

I actually think Zero One was bad

>>23369749
That's OK anon, it's important to be able to think for yourself

>>23369754
Same applies for you >>23369755

>>23369753
Worldwide or Japan?

Imagine still watching Kamen Rider lmao

>>23369581
I can see it if this is the producer's first Toku show, the Great Producer of Dai-Toei will probably "guide" him so that he doesn't screw it up.

>>23369600
It’s a green Zero One. Don’t like it. Face looks smudged. It’s another reiwa design for sure, trying too hard to “look” like a Rider without really trying to do anything new. Only time Hopper riders really work for me is when they’re movie riders.

I love Saber.

>>23369758
Again Shirakura has never shadow-produced a show, he only helps on pre-production, the reason why Gotchard had so much influence by Shirakura and Tsukada is purely Minato's fault.

>>23369745
You probably would know a lot about plebbit, faggot. Are you going to accuse me of using tokunation or rangerboard or whatever faggot site your crossposting, projecting ass is from too?

>>23369600
What Zero-One should've been.

>>23369758
It's not like this guy is an amateur though, he's from Toei's normal drama division so he has plenty of experience. Just not on the hero show producing side.

>>23369766
Nah, Zero-One still looks better

>>23369756
I don't know, but my algorithm isn't really geared towards toku for the most part and it was on the "For You" part of trending. I live in America btw.

>>23369765
Aw, the poor Redditor got mad because he and his shitty meme got called out.
>tokunation or rangerboard
You browse those sites too? Lmao, you're even more of a loser than I thought.

How's Decade or Legend going to work?

>>23369773
I'm actually expecting his final form, or an upgrade to have him use a normal belt

So what are Ultraman's official subs like? Since people are making comparisons now with this new arrangement.

Reminder the only shows that have had shadow producers are
>Black RX being actually controlled by sponsors
>Goseiger being actually controlled by Omori and Wakamatsu
>Zi-O being actually controlled by Takebe and Tasaki
>Gotchard actually being controlled by Matsuura
Shirakura hasn't actually shadowproduced anything, his influence in other shows have only been
>Taking over Hibiki
>Geats being white and having guns as main weapons
>Gotchard having cards as a gimmick and a highschool setting
>Gozyuger having motifs of past seasons, the first episode getting rewritten

>>23369756
Its trending here too along with Gavv and im in EU. I think unless it says "trending in <country>" its not region dependant

>>23369764
Yeah yeah, keep the cope up, it's not like there's another show that's clearly not influenced by him and his tropes airing right now.

>>23369776
Serviceable. Not really much different from the usual simulcast fare. I'd always take fansubs any day over official subs desu.

>>23369776
They're fine. Do the job.

So logically if it airs in the west, we're also getting the toys in the west right?

>>23369782
Do Ultraman toys come to the west? If so then I guess so yeah since both are done by BANDAI

>>23369782
Ultraman toys aren't sold anywhere but Japan/Korea/China/SEA though the ads are still in the simulcast in other countries that don't have the toys at Toys R Us.

>>23369772
The fact you give enough decency to that shithole of a site to capitalize it and treat it as a proper noun tells me you're a projecting faggot from there.

>>23369769
Nah, Zero-One has an ugly main color and wack color distribution and proportions.

>>23369786
Ok, Plebbitor.

>>23369787
Actually black and yellow with red accents is peak

>>23369787
>bright colour = ugly/bad boooo
It's over for Rider

>>23369777
You really think Shirakura would make it known that he's micromanaging shows he isn't supposed to be in charge of while he's still working for the company? Some of the cases you mentioned weren't known until several years after the fact, and only after the people involved were willing to finally speak up and nobody's career could be hurt.

>>23369790
Yes, highlighter yellow is an ugly color and I thank Ace-sama that it hasn't been used by any other Riders before or since.

>>23369787
>>23369793
Fluorescent neon yellow glows under UV, therefore it's cool. So you have shit taste, confirmed.

DON'T LOSE YOUR DREAM

>>23369687
Apparently, Next week also the press conference

>>23369791
>Some of the cases you mentioned weren't known until several years after the fact
Aside from Black RX, we knew all of these cases as late as Q2 at earliest before the shows came out. And I'm Hibiki's and Goseiger's cases you could see the staff changes and even Omori commented in one of the Goseiger blogs during the show.
You're really giving me no proper reason to believe your headcanon, specially when we know almost every reason for the flaws of these shows. The only one that we basically know nothing of what went behind is Boonboomger.

>>23369798
Where did they say that? Next Friday we're only getting the toy showcase and a new teaser as far as I'm aware

>>23369776
Honestly great, they're as close to accurate as you could get and no fanfic tier additions you'd see in some fansubs. I hope Zeztz gets subs as good as ultra.

>>23369795
Zero-Two looks better because it has more red and silver, and some goddamn fluorescent color on its arms so it doesn't look like he's fucking handicapped.

But LEDs are still the superior glow in the dark method, Faiz and Zeztz mog.

>>23369799
>even Omori commented in one of the Goseiger blogs during the show.
What did he comment, anon?

>Ultraman hired godzilla sfx company to do their CGI
>meanwhile toei used genAI
Warai na joke da

Literally no way Kamen Rider could get more "American" than Black Sun without outright hiring western writers, and even Black Sun was just really flawed, not outright terrible, so I'm not that worried about Zeztz.
If anything they'll just let some Americans make some shitty short series or animated movie with the IP in the couple years if this is successfull, best case scenario it's ok like Ultraman Rising.

>>23369795
Sugihara x Omori x WataJun was the best director/producer/action choreography combo this franchise had, I'm hoping the new blood director and Kami can surpass it. Kami himself is great for kino shots in dramatic episodes but Sugihara just has a sense for chuuni appeals in form debut episodes and big climatic fight scenes.

>>23369600
It's a little bit to top heavy for my liking and I hate that the belt is now an over the shoulder thing otherwise it's fine. Actually if he wore the belt around his waist it might have helped the suit from feeling top heavy. It's such an odd choice but it's one I see constantly on western takes/redesigns of Rider suits so I could see it as them trying to appeal more to the western market since this is getting broadcast damn near everywhere.

>>23369777
>>Zi-O being actually controlled by Takebe and Tasaki
Nah, Shirakura was writing the blogs himself, he was very hands-on with this work.

And just like that, people forget about gavbb
I blame komura being a lazy fuck tho

>>23369810
People literally always forget about the current series around this time, newfag

>>23369802
LEDs are nice and all, but they are not 100% superior. Ever notice how the photon blood streams on Faiz's gloves and the red on his helmet don't actually glow? It's because they couldn't fit LEDs on the more intricate parts of the suit. UV fluorescent paint solves that issue, just bring upon many others.

>>23369809
He was very hands from Q2 onward but for Q1 Tasaki decided how the legacy episodes would play out and Takebe was the one who chose Shinomoya too

>>23369804
He commented about not being able to secure a writer for the 33th episode due to "complications" iirc

>>23369810
I still like Gavv, do you really want people to not discuss the new show that's about to air? The advent of a new season is always exciting

>>23369810
And people still bait with shit like this every year too

>>23369807
>Sugihara x Omori x WataJun was the best director/producer/action choreography combo this franchise had
No, that's Sugihara, Takebe and Fujita.

>>23369818
And it's about to get worse

>>23369810
Give the Gavvfags a break, this week's episode wasn't very good.

>>23369819
Swap tabeke to ohmori then we're good.

>>23369807
>Ishida x Shirakura x Miyazaki was the best director/producer/action choreography combo this franchise had
Ftfy, newfag.

>>23369821
But I liked it a lot aside from Hanto not doing the finishing blow against Suga

If we're doing what ifs combos for me it would be
>Tsukada
>Kami
>Fujita
You just know a powerhouse of a team like that could make something kino with the right writer

>>23369825
Fujita never worked with Ohmori as an action director, dumbass.

>>23369600
wait is it confirmed broadcast at the same time as japan or..?

>>23369827
You would like anything Gavv throws at you.

>>23369830
They haven't said yet, but most likely the episodes will release a day later
I don't watch Ultraman but I think that's how they do it with that franchise?

How do u think the western KR tourists are gonna react to Zeztz? Thats gonna be a show in itself

>>23369831
So? What is wrong with that?
Do we bother you when you have a good time during gotchard, or maybe saber?
Do you want to tell me your taste is superior?

>>23369775
>final episode
>Zeztz holds the belt
>he slaps it around his waist
>HENSHIN

>>23369835
Gonna love it

>>23369831
There's stuff I don't like about Gavv but it's usually not enough to ruin a whole episode, examples
>Q2 starting unnecessarily slow
>The stomach family being missing for most of Q2
>The clone stuff being conveluted, disconnected from the main theme of the show and too convinient
>Them not properly exploring Suga's backstory
>Hanto hardly defeating any actual Kaijin
>Lakia being kind of annoying for a while after he turned a new leaf
>The show not throwing enough despair at Sachika
>Like most Rider seasons, Shouma not using most of his Q1 forms despite this show having a proper world building reason to do that
>The villains overall having plain personalities
But otherwise this is the most fun I've had with a currently airing season since Build personally

>>23369835
There just no way of knowing until the conference but they'll probably recoil in disgust whenever the show does stuff for kids despite it being a kids show first and foremost

>>23369835
that really depends on what the actual plot and characters are like, but expect a lot shit like "I watched this show and it was nothing like Power Rangers!" or "Mature Power Rangers?!!?!?!?!?"

This shot kinda reminds me of those showcase shots of Hibiki that look almost like gay pinup photos

>>23369841
The bare waist thanks to the shoulder bag driver sexes up the design a bit

>>23369841
If watching streamers play Metal Gear Rising taught me anything, its that this will appeal to the female gaze

>>23369840
There was semi-recently a video that came out on a fairly subscribed to channel where a person decided to watch Timeranger because you can just do that if you're a burger was was clamering over how mature the themes/drama was compared to the adaption Time Force. I guess videos like that will pop up for Zeztz if it has such a ease of access IE with the episodes being uploaded to Toei Tokusatsu World for everyone besides the EU and AU/NZ.

Zeztz face actor leak.

now I see the incineroar comparison, it's the lighter underbelly

>>23369850
The initial leak wasn't even talking about the suit, but the figure inside the gimmick device. See >>23369703

>>23369836
>Do we bother you when you have a good time during gotchard, or maybe saber?
Why do you assume I liked either of those shows? I didn't.
>your taste is superior?
It is.

>One thing that can be confirmed is that this time they will likely make extensive use of LED volume (LED ring screen) filming; the special report revealed it very clearly
>The preview narration is voiced by the CV (voice actor) of this time’s motorcycle
>Yes, this time it’s intentional.

>>23369836
Why haven't you taken your meds yet?

The first lemon post is about what the other anon said already earlier that the belt's cover being removable
The second one talks about the designs inside of the capsems for the alternate forms
>Blue form: Greninja
>Green: Creamy Soldier (I don't know what he's referring to)
>Purple: like the one in the picture

>>23369861
I assume lemon is referring to these maybe?

>>23359757
>>23359760
>>23359765
Man, you guys did me dirty by recommending Build when I was saying I hated how overly toyetic the new Rider shows were getting. I watched 4 episodes now, and this motherfucker has more forms than episodes.
...
Show is actually pretty great, though. Characters are neat, kaijin and Rider suits are cool. Action is decent. Story is actually pretty good, too. Banjo being such an angry rageboy is kinda annoying, but I get why he's like that. I'm having fun with Build.
Actually a great recommendation.

>>23369866
Anon you're watching an ascended toy commercial franchise you can't be mad when toys exist. And yes, Build is recommended by most people as a great watch, mainly because the cast is just so god damn strong.

>>23369856
>Zeztz will have an Auto Vajin that talks in random English phrases
This is as if Auto Vajin had 555's belt voice, that sounds kino

Clear Zero-One Gochizos

>>23369870
The trailer is already in full english so I'm glad we're back to Japanglish sports announcer kino

>>23369866
don't continue, just drop it..
build gone bad during 10-20 episodes and never build-up..just watch other stuff..in fact, don't watch rider again..go away you're better fuck off from this franchise, shoo shoo tourist

What are the odds Zeztz gets dubbed? Tap into that western market, lots of people watch dubbed anime, play dubbed gacha. Lots of people enjoyed Squid game too.

>>23369835
If it's good they'll suck it off as the best thing ever because meh Power Rangers

If it's shit they'll suck it off as the best thing ever because meh Power Rangers

Western fanbase it's everything u no matter how shit it is. I think the only thing they actually bitch about is "meh female rider", or "meh female red ranger"

And just like that, /krg/ has forgot about Fourze.

>>23369880
The Ultraman releases have dubs these days so maybe?

>>23369880
>lots of people watch dubbed anime
They do? I'd say the chances are high that we'll get a dub but probably not immediately and I'm not sure if future seasons will have dubs, I assume they'll handpick whichever seasons do

>>23369882
I still do Fourze's friendship salute with my friends, in fact I did it just today with my older brother

>>23369886
>They do?
Unfortunately. Dubs went hand-in-hand with anime going more mainstream in the West and the flooding in of normalfags

Imagine how big the upgrade Capsems would be

>>23369600
The chin area is not the same on the left and right pic for some reason...

>>23369874
>参考展示
Dammit. I'd cough up for that Shining Hopper one

>>23369703
>looks like a pokeball
NINTENDO

I sure do hope Zeztz has a more mature tone compared to the rest of Reiwa. Something similar to Game of Thrones or the The Wire

So does anyone have any hard proof that the Zeztz trailer is using AIslop or does it just look like AIslop to some people?

lots of hot milf in gavv new episode:)

>>23369897
Come on you cant not see it

So....Gavv does feel like a budget season, we didn't even get an expensive P-bandai rider.

>>23369600
Not feeling Zeztz's belt/toys desu. It's super sleek, but in a really boring way. Like an iPhone kind of way. Might give me an excuse to skip the year in favour of collecting any PDX stuff Gavv gets instead.

>>23369848
oh yeah the homophobic priest that can't play heartstone, I know of him, he makes trash videos.
But yeah we might see some videos maybe, on socials you're definitely gonna see annoying people making bad takes but hey you can just mute and block them, the main thing I'm wondering is if Bandai is gonna also release the toys in these regions, probably limited but still would love to have less shipping and import costs

>>23369893
It's because the helmet is a bike helmet with antennas and compound eyes, the rest is a texture over a visor, it seems like the texture can shift?

>>23369901
Didn't need it when those slots were still being filled by PDX Geats stuff

>>23369600
He kinda looks like an Ultraman to me but I can't explain exactly how.

>>23369908
Based Geats still winning

>>23369903
Zeztz is the "what if KR stopped being quirky" season. But only time will tell, maybe the MC is another Houtaro with some video game plot like Ex-aid with all this digitally stuff.

>Gotchard producer
ZZZ will be total garbage, another wasted good design in a shit show for children.

>>23369909
It's the lack of the belt at the waist. And the fact that the suit is so slender, compared to Rider suits typically looking more armoured

>>23369909
probably the sleek body, lack of armor plates

>>23369915
He's a sub producer, dummy.
The chief producer is Yanaka, from Toei's drama division.

>>23369908
>>23369901
That doesn't really have to do with lack of budget. It's either Takebe getting her way and releasing less toys or something weird because of the new schedule. Gozyuger's rival Mecha and the silver recolor of the main mecha are both retail, so far it has only gotten a single weapon/mecha add-on as PB.
It seems that from Gavv/Gozyuger onward we'll simply get less PB items directly tied to the show

>>23369920
Ah I see, my bad. Hype then

>CaKing gets another showing next episode
Yay. Don't even care if it's just to job

>>23369600
is it just me that thinks this feels like an add for like fancy perfume or something?

>>23369903
I would be waiting for Yezz stuff before giving an opinion since he’s supposed to be the more “avant-garde” one.

>>23369920
tbf it seems that Minato does have some influence since we're a getting
>Ichigo homage
>Bike that fuses with the rider
>Rival that turns into a rider
Hopefully this extends to getting insert songs too. But the most important parts, which are the setting and tone are definitely being handled by Yanaka. I feel that Zeztz will be be one of the weirdest seasons we've gotten so far

>>23369930
Will it make that much of a difference really? Zeztz is the main Rider, thus, his henshin item is going to be the centerpiece toy for the year

>>23369932
Toei higher ups won't give them attention, it all depends on wether the show's chief producers want to engage with them and I highly doubt it.

>>23369932
The only potential silver lining is that the Nip mainstream also get a front row seat to their absolute retardation and can call them out of it. It's gotta be surreal, when natively, Rider is unequivocally a children's toy commercial show first and foremost, regardless of what adult following they have. Now there's going to be a bunch of loud gaijins trying to drag their own culture, problems and politics into their kids show.

>>23369931
He's still a sub-producer so he can still give ideas. They just all go through Yanaka first. And yeah, this'll be the first KR season produced by someone outside of Toei's usual toku hero sphere so we should get something fairly different from the norm.

>>23369932
>grrr I'm getting made at scenarios I made up in my head!!!

>>23369934
Zeztz's secondary rider is described as a silver W extreme with orange and purple lines and a helmet similar to Ryuki's. That sounds like usual Rider weirdness to me.
But the belt across the waist will be a constant across all riders seemingly.

>>23369903
I'm the complete opposite. I didn't really like how the toys in Gavv looked or sounded.

>>23369938
>>grrr I'm getting made at scenarios I made up in my head!!!
Anon, that's literally going to happen because they do shit like that all the time

I still remember when people on twt kept saying 01 is some sort of racial discourse? Cause its still happening somehow

>>23369939
I wonder if there's gonna be a story reason for that or if it's just how they wear it.

>>23369941
Why not just not look at toku twitter then? You don't need to look at their discussions.

>>23369941
When has Toei actively listened to the west's opinions when making Toku or Anime?

>>23369925
CaKing is kind of the GOAT form since I believe it hasn't been beaten except by Bake and that was when Shouma was sick.

>>23369866
I warned you that the show had tons of toys in spite of the buildbabbies hyping it up.

>>23369900
Anyone who can't see the blatant AI usage is blind or retarded

>>23369920
Zeztz have three producers. Not sure who's the third one though.

>>23369932
I don't see an issue if it's just a secondary, Revice did them well as just fanservice.
Precure had a male cure x oneesan duo.

>>23369910
https://x.com/t_features/status/1941655867641954386
Speaking of Geats wa never endo

Can any anon explain to me why you guys check western Twitter and Reddit instead of simply ignoring them?
Like why can't you just use Twitter to follow news, leakers and Japanese artists rather than checking what retarded westerners think? Why post their shitty opinions here?

>>23369941
And? Best case scenario the staff get upset by the constant harassment by twitter teenagers, the numbers are too low to justify continuing, and Zeztz becomes a one time experiment until they try to bring it over to the west again in another 20 years. The demons in your head are your friend anon.

>>23369948
Glotta had already BTFO'd it before Bake, she even swatted its Rider Kick away like it was nothing.

>>23369946
I'm pointing out how that's not made up scenario and happens often. Someone looking or not looking doesn't change the fact it still happens all the time.

>>23369947
It's highly unlikely but people said the same shit about anime

>>23369866
Good, finish Drive and watch Ex-Aid and Saber next.

>>23369955
Because they're addicted to getting mad at opinions they don't like and share them here in hopes that others join in. Simple as.

>>23369908
I still can't believe they released a shitter Bujin sword and a proper Bujin sword as pbandai

>>23369951
Takasaki Sota is another drama producer, he made the adaptation of the Manga Densetsu no Head Sho which had a ton of toku alumni
Also this might be another King-Ohger situation where they have 3 producers so that the 3D settings have variety, only that this time Minato and Sota might get to stay since the situation isn't the same

>>23369600
It kinda reminds of of the Shin KR concepts

>>23369967
That's what color said too

>>23369940
Same, Gavv jingles are lame.

>>23369966
Two drama producers and a toku hero show producer. An interesting mix.

>>23369969
I wouldn't call them lame but I'm not going on Youtube to listen to them outside the show.

>>23369937
>The only potential silver lining is that the Nip mainstream also get a front row seat to their absolute retardation and can call them out of it
They're gonna join them, the average Nip is heavily westernized nowadays.

I miss Inoue, but last time he did Rider stuff he turned Gai into a crazy gay man.

>>23369969
Jingles are lame in general.

>>23369970
Yanaka at least worked as an assistant producer for Rider, but the toku project he was the most involved in which was the Rogue mini-series certainly has a more drama feel. This will the first time that Sota works on something toku related.
Feels weird that Toei is gifting producers from other divisions that worked with Omori before, besides this there's Kuji with Boonboomger.

>>23369959
So just a scenario in your head? Gotcha

>>23369975
>Zeztz being chief produced by the guy that produced the Rogue mini-series
Oh man

>>23369963
Get cucked flame, your country isn't in the list of Zeztz simulcast lmao

>>23369979
>Prison Rape the series

>>23369980
>Everyone is Flame in my head

>>23369975
>>23369979
I haven't seen the Rogue mini-series, how's the tone for it besides the gay rape attempt that I see people mention a lot

>>23369867
Oh, I don't have a problem with it being toyetic. I grew up with Kamen Rider. I was buying the toys as a kid. lol
I just feel that they went a little too ham with that side of things with Heisei phase 2. You can see them play with it in phase 1, but things were still tamped down. And then there is a marked shift in phase 2, both with the toyetic-ness and style of the shows become more gaudy and wacky. I didn't really dig that.
But hey, I'm enjoying Build, so I'ma keep watching, and see what the newer shows are like.

>>23369876
Soooo sorry for me for getting the itch to get back to watching the shit I liked in my younger days.
Suck a fat dick, cunt.

>>23369984
It's very dark. Basically just something for adult TTFC subbers to see how dark the underside of Build's world can get.

>>23369978
Okay, I'm trying to figure out people here are so fucking retarded.
>X says Twitter trannies and zoomer will harass staff over female riders
>retard says "IT'S IN YOUR HEAD AND MADE UP"
>I point out twitter troons going after staff for asinine and inconsequential happens all the time.
>"WHY DON'T YOU NOT LOOK AT TWITTER", "IT'S IN YOUR HEAD"
Like, you can't he this fucking stupid

>>23369979
you don't like ass-blasted gentoku?

For me? It's Outsiders
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kU_DAU3OeZI

>>23369975
They're desperate to get a new Omori after his sudden departure so they're bringing older producers that served as AP for toku before.
Hopefully they bring Utsunomiya back.

>>23369994
I mean in the sense that a full TV series is being produced by this guy. The drama will be thick, and directed by Kami. It might be full on kino.

>>23369995
Only toku m.c.A･T song I don't like personally
He peaked at Flashback: https://youtu.be/ZiUmWPBZgxc

>>23369998
The Rogue mini-series still had Omori but yeah we're getting 3 producers, a writer and a director who seem to like edgy shit, not at all what I was expecting from the Zeztz leaks.

>>23370002
I wonder then if Zesty will be actually quite dark if they are appealing to westerns more.

>Zeztz gets dubbed
>JYB is the VA

>>23370004
I mean it's still airing on SHT between Precure and Sentai.

>>23370004
The franchise already strikes a good balance with shows like Gaim and Gavv. Part of the charm is how cheesy and goofy the visuals, toys, suits, etc. look, while still being earnestly serious in its storytelling when the shows want to be. Going all in on generic dark/edge just doesn't seem like a good way to stand out in the long run

>>23369600
Sooooo, tomorrow full staff reveal or next week?

>>23370011
Press conference, so early August

>>23370013
With the show being simulcast in around half the world I expect they won't bother geolocking the conference this year, hopefully.

>>23369974
Nah, just Gavv's.

>>23370010
Definitely, I assume the staff still knows that.
Even King-Ohger and Build which pandered harder to adults had a bunch of goofy shit in it

Best-looking and most-versatile bike in recent years

>>23370023
My favorite is still Black Sun but if this bike dies indeed turn into a robot it will definitely be my favorite, I'm a sucker for that kind of shit

>>23370004
>Zeztz was described to be similar to Paprika
Actual schizokino protagonist?

>>23370030
Finally, a protagonist for /krg/ to relate to

>>23370030
Imagine Zeztz having multiple personalities being executed in a similar way to the two Lupins movie that Takahashi did
That would be fucking kino

>>23370026
>if this bike dies indeed turn into a robot it will definitely be my favorite
Oh I forgot about that rumor lmao. People getting all swept up in the PV visuals forgetting this is still a regular Kamen Rider series.

>If Zeztz does something extremely edgy and parents complain they won't be able to walk it back until the second half
How much will they take advantage of this?

>>23370030
If that theory of KR Zeztz being an older man is true, this legitimately might be quite good. Schizod glowie in his 30-40's fighting nightmares for a shadowy agency.

>>23370041
>target the show towards kids
>try to do cool shit
>walk it back when retarded parents shit themselves
Why

>>23370010
>part of the charm
>suit is sleek like ultraman
>also used aislop and bland trinket
What's the point?
And before you tell me "it's early preview they can change it later"
You need to differentiate between CGI and AI generated images.

>>23370050
nta but there were only 3 AI backgrounds on the teaser while the rest was CGI and these scenes were clearly filmed for this specific teaser rather than the show.
I'd say wait until the conference to see if we have to shit our pant or not because of AI usage. I mean it's not like the eyecons for Ghost were aliens or like Gotchard and Legend had bodybuilder music.

>>23370048
>he doesn't know about ghost incident
newfaggot-kun....

>>23370057
There's nothing in that anon's post implying that he doesn't

>>23370050
It really depends on the producer's balls, when people complained about Ouja Shirakura just did a two-parter about a girl having Stockholm syndrome and called it a day, Ghost's producer was just that much of a pussy. But point is that even if the staff wanted to, at least for the first half, they won't be able to walk anything back in Zeztz and the staff are a bunch of edgy people.

>>23370055
Okay, i will hold my judgement for this. But TOEI is known for their pettyness so it's not out of realm if they did insert AI into rider show.

>>23370023
This just looks almost straight off the shelf

Yo! Gavv 42 is now on the Reiwa Rider Drive(r)! Thanks to Whale for the subs!

>>23370062
I don't like it, but AI is already being used for backgrounds in Gavv and Gozyuger. It's not a surprised they'd use it here even if it is still cringe.

>>23370050
>>23370055
The teasers in question just in case

>Gotchard: https://youtu.be/0zoGzr19TDw
I can't find the one Storius did for Legend but point is teasers aren't always made by the staff, hopefully they don't use AI, I can excuse Gozyuger because the setting but dreams aren't a good excuse for multiple AI backgrounds being used in the show itself.

>>23370064
sankyu

On a non-Zeztzztztt note, can someone tell me what the deal is with Ex-Aid? People keep saying its good but im like a third through the show and all of this feels like absolute nonsense. Does it like get better or am i missing something? Only character i can derive some enjoyment out of is Dan Kuroto

>>23370065
>Background in gavv
Woah, hold it. Fucking where?
If you meant the granute world, then no. That's not it.

>>23370071
If you're a third into the show then you will most likely not enjoy the rest. Most people enjoy it because of the cast and the show making a surprisingly good use of breakneck pacing which is usually a detriment for other shows, the directing is also phenomenal at times.

>>23370071
It's a medical melodrama in the casing of biomechanical video game super heroes. If you don't like it now, you probably won't like the rest? I dunno what to tell you.

>>23370065
There's no AI background the Stomach building and the President's building are both CGI backgrounds made by the Chinese studio that did the backgrounds for King-Ohger while the slums are Shuggodam from King-Ohger put through a filter. Only Gozyuger has used AI and it's only for the far away shots of the No One world excluding the building of Bridan which is proper CGI.

>>23370066
Ghost's breakdancing and the BGM used for that video are fucking amazing
Man why did Wizard's and Ghost's productions have to get fucked in the ass?...

>>23370071
no it's not good someone is lying to you, you should never step foot in this franchise anyway, they will rot your brain..go away shoo

Jesus fuck we really need to gatekeep rider sooner or later

>>23370079
The time to do that was like a decade ago. We're a long way past the point of no return.

>>23370079
Ive already watched through 01, Build, Gaim and Geats in that order, its not my first go at it

>>23370078
They never said the show was going to be about hip-hop and alien trinkets, I doubt the show would have the same feel as the PV even without the retool.

>>23370079
Why do you use punctuation that way every time?

>>23370078
They didn't have enough balls, Utsunomiya should have fired Kida just like how Hikasa fired Imai and Takahashi should have stuck with his original plan and ignored soccer moms

>>23370030
It's more than a pipedream but I would kill for Susumu Hirasawa to make some music for Zeztz, or Kamen Rider in general.
His music is literally "Dreamlike".

How the fuck are people still not able to differentiate between what is AI and what isn't

>>23370086
That teaser wasn't meant to represent the show just like Saber's, Takahashi P does that I know.
I'm mostly referring to how hype I was for those two shows back when they were announced but then their productions went awry.

>>23370079
You're an obnoxious SEAmonkey.
>>23370084
And you're a dumb newfag.

>>23370090
AI keeps getting better.

>>23369600
i can't, it's sex

>>23370090
It's the other way around. AI's slowly improving year-by-year to the point where it's getting harder to tell the difference over time

>>23370087
>Utsunomiya should have fired Kida
And let Komura take over? Hell no.

Aura

>>23370094
>>23370097
There's still plenty of things that give it away in the backgrounds for the Zeztz teaser

>>23370098
Let literally anyone take over, Arakawa was available at the time for fucks sake. Having actual direction is better than the show's plot being in limbo because the main writer is fucking off to make stage shows with his wife

>>23370101
And not everyone's spending day-in-day-out training themselves to look for the itty bitty bits of evidence. Most people just glance at these things and call it a day

>>23370099
sex with zeztz

Suit costume is good, glowing in the dark
Then, i see the sneakers
lmaoooooo

>>23370107
I wonder if the orange wings will also glow in the dark

>>23370061
Now they could also make the argument that these parents are trying to force "woke" western cartoons as the ideal content for children

>>23370099
idk why but the eyes remind me of Earth-1610 Spider-Man (Peter, not MIles)

>>23370066
Can someone who actually knows how to make webms make a higher quality version of this cut?

>>23370112
Who's "they" in this context and why would Toei care about what the west thinks?

I have to imagine the driver's english is going to sound incredibly fluent

>>23370114
>why would Toei care about what the west thinks?
They're literally making a show to attract the western audience.

>>23370023
>only gets used 5 times

Was Zeztz suit actor revealed?

>>23370116
But these shows are still primaroly made for Japan it's not like they gave a shit when Korean soccer moms got mad at Kamen Rider despite the shows getting officially distributed there. They only care if the Japanese complain.

>>23370114
Because PR is dead, Marvel is in a slump and now would be a good time to make something that will rake in money.

>>23370114
american parents.
just remember minatoP interview that he's pushing for female rider and that's going to happen in the next, idk, maybe 10-20 years
that's him following the trend and going woke.

>>23370099
What a manslut

>>23370119
According to the leaks it's Kenta Nitta who has only done mooks for toku but outside of toku he has been a somewhat prominent face actor and action director for stageplays

My uncle works at Kamen Rider and he says that every character in Zeztz will be a queer black woman. I'm sorry, Japan has fallen.

>>23370115
I think it's honestly going to suck some of the charm out of it if it really is 150% fluent. In the sense that even the "fluent" English jingles to date still have that dramatised Engrish flair to them that the Nips think is cool.

>>23370129
The callouts sound pretty flairy as usual anyway, I mean "good morning, rider?"

>>23370120
They wouldn't have bothered making a design that in the Japanese's own words looks like a an American comic book superhero, a PV in English, and a simulcast release if they weren't planning on appealing to westerners in some way as part of their next strategy.

>>23370121
But people watch Japanese because it's Japanese and I like Toei knows that. Shirakura mentioned how he disliked the original Power Rangers movie but prefers the Philippines Voltes show because it was more faithful to the Japanese equivalent and sourcing it as one of the reasons why it was successful.

>>23370122
But that's just Minato and he isn't the main producer this time. The other producers we've gotten aren't that much of a westaboo aside from Omori and even him never pushed for female secondaries or female protagonists. Also it's like like western kids or parents are going to be the primary fans in the west either, the primary western audience are western otakus.

>>23370133
Are they sure they're trying to appeal to American audience and not the Indian audience?

>>23370134
Are you the same anon who thinks kamen rider isn't for children?

>>23370135
>But that's just Minato and he isn't the main producer this time
He can still produce a new show in the future, retard-kun.

>>23370135
>But people watch Japanese because it's Japanese and I like Toei knows that.
Do they, though? I don't have much faith in that sentiment when many Japanese properties outside of this space can and have faltered when they start trying to pander to a Western mainstream audience. The gaming space especially

>>23370139
No, you're just the retard who thinks Zeztz doesn't have an obvious focus on appealing to foreigners.

>>23370087
>Have Sho Aikawa as a guest writer, the guy that's literally known for picking up incomplete stories of other people, including Blade
>Doesn't fire Tsuyoshi Kida and instead keeps Komura as a co-writer
What was Utsunomiya thinking at the time?

>>23370140
The point was about Zeztz. But even then he's the only current producer who pushes for that kind of female representation, unless Takijima and Yanaka also do that.

>>23370139
Nothing in anon's post talks about Kamen Rider not being a kid's show schizo.

>>23370139
>Currently airing show displayed a woman getting dissolved and turned into spice for addicts
>It's just for children bro!!!!!!!!!!!

>>23370125
I know they’ve done it before for minor characters, but having the Main Rider do his own stunts for a whole year seems kinda excessive. I don’t think it’s worth it just for somewhat better out-of-suit combat.

>>23370148
It's for Japanese children who aren't treated like retards incapable of judgment like western children

>>23370148
>projecting Western perspective again

>>23370148
Japan has different standards

>>23370144
>>Have Sho Aikawa as a guest writer, the guy that's literally known for picking up incomplete stories of other people, including Blade
Also the guy that got fired by big daddy Shirakura himself and hasn't headlined a single Toei show since then.

>>23370155
He did Kiramager

>>23370155
But he has returned to Toei several times and has even written movies for them, it's not like he has a problem with Toei or viceversa he only has a problem with Shirakura.
Also Shirakura didn't fire him, he left on his own accord after Shirakura changed the script without his permission

>>23370156
That was Naruhisa Arakawa

>>23370147
>The point was about Zeztz
Read anon's post again, you're a retard who lacks reading comprehension.

>>23370147
I meant he's projecting, like this anon said >>23370153

That's what makes me worry about this whole simulcast thing.
I fear rider will lose their identity, lose their roots if catered way too much to the western.
Then again Shirakura said they want to spread their wings into the international market so..

>>23370157
>But he has returned to Toei several times and has even written movies for them, it's not like he has a problem with Toei or viceversa he only has a problem with Shirakura.
Like I said, Aikawa hasn't headlined a single Toei show since Decade's first half, he's only gotten minor jobs like guest writing and V-Cinemas. Ohma Shira-P has a lot of sway at Toei, even if he isn't really the top dog.

>>23370161
And once again I tell you to stop letting Shirakura live rent free in your head, we know why each head writer has been picked so far, Tsuyoshi Kida was picked because Utsunomiya wanted a show like Hibiki

If a Kodomo show like Puniru which has an unironic pedophile as the main cast can get simulsubs without them affecting the show's or manga's production why could the west's opinions realistically affect Kamen Rider if they hardly buy toys and have different core values to Japanese children?

>>23370121
If you want to know how dire the straits are, PR was bought back by Disney, this also means any future PR comics will be distributed under Marvel, which already has Battle Fever J, Denziman, and Sun Vulcan as separate Earths

>>23370162
>I tell you to stop letting Shirakura live rent free in your head
You have no idea how Japanese companies work.
>we know why each head writer has been picked so far, Tsuyoshi Kida was picked because Utsunomiya wanted a show like Hibiki
Learn to follow a conversation, because this is not the point being discussed at all.

>>23370165
People who think a western side of a fanbase can change anything really oversell how powerful they are as a group, especially with niche stuff like toku hero shows.

>>23370165
I don't know if you noticed, but in the same vein, just because a show is a kodomo show to Nipponland themselves, it doesn't mean it's shown/marketed to the West in the same way. Take all the mainstream long-running anime that actually made its way to children's TV channels in the West; they all had to undergo adaptation and censoring in some way, because they were acutely geared towards children.

>>23370148
Gavvbabbies desperately need a reality check.

>>23370175
I remember all the shonen anime that only aired in the US as part of the late night Toonami block.

Only time will tell if the show ends up being more like either Inception or the AI the Somnium Files.

>>23370169
>You have no idea how Japanese companies work
Anon if Shirakura really was keeping Sho Aikawa from doing projects he wouldn't have done the Go-Onger movie, and the original point is why Utsunomiya didn't pick him to take over Wizard which was because he didn't want to fire anyone. I mean look at the reasoning as to why he picked Komura twice
>Picked her for Zyuohger because he felt that it wasn't fair that her first role as a main writer was under a situation like Wizard
>Picked for Lupinranger VS Patranger because he wanted to reuse her setting ideas for when Zyuohger was originally a Phantom Thief Sentai
Meanwhile Omori picked Takahashi for Ex-Aid despite originally coming with the Video Game idea with Riku Sanjo back in Drive.

>>23370175
I know that, but Zeztz is being brought to YouTube, not to some TV Network on children timeslot, so that kind of censorship wouldn't apply for Zeztz's distribution. I'm mostly saying that if we get a show made by for example Takebe or Matsuura they would most likely not pander to the west at all, the pandering would depend on which producer we get.

>>23370165
Damn japan is based lol

>>23370181
>he wouldn't have done the Go-Onger movie
That's like the only work he receives from Toei since his falling out with the Great Ohma Shira-P, cheap direct to DVD movies.
>Utsunomiya didn't pick him to take over Wizard which was because he didn't want to fire anyone. I mean look at the reasoning as to why he picked Komura twice
>> Picked her for Zyuohger because he felt that it wasn't fair that her first role as a main writer was under a situation like Wizard
This is pure headcanon.

>>23370183
Okay, good point. But who knows yrars later, if a group of parents stumble upon rider YouTube and decided to bomb review or maybe complain because the show not suitable for their standards?

>>23370183
The Toei producers have higher-ups, of those higher-ups want to keep pandering to the western audience, people like Takebe and Matsuura will have to do it whether they want it or not. Zeztz doing all the stuff it's doing already feel less like the initiative of its producer and more like Toei finally acting on their big plan to expand their market to western countries.

>>23370186
>is pure headcanon
I was going to fight you about but after looking at the production notes for Zyuohger again I couldn't find that statement again, so I guess it really was my schizo illusion.
You still have an unhealthy obsession with Shirakura thought, also that was the 10th anniversary movie, I'd say that's a bit more meaningful than a regular V-Cinema.

>>23369600
ftfy :)

>>23370191
Who's the current president of the Tokusatsu division now that Jun Hikasa stepped down?

>>23370180
The rumors said Paprika+Inception+James Bond
Though who knows if Zeztz won't have a helper in the dreamscapes like that guy had the eyeball girl.

How exactly does Toei measure failures? I thought Kyuranger, Ghost and Revice were commercial successes yet they ended up with the producers getting demoted. I'm personally fine with those cases because I hated those seasons but I'm still curious of their exact criteria.

>>23370192
>also that was the 10th anniversary movie, I'd say that's a bit more meaningful than a regular V-Cinema
You really think the average consumer is going to buy that shit? No, it's meant for older otaku, that's why they have a peanut budget, arguably even lower than the average Rider V-Cin.

>>23370202
Audience numbers/appreciation and toy sales, former for Toei itself and latter for Bandai.

>>23369600
It kinda gives off “designed by AI” vibes, but maybe it’s due to the simplicity of the design. Not a lot of armor and partsZ

>>23370202
When did Taka-P get demoted? Also as per Color's words, Revice's toyline was neither a success nor a failure, so I guess Mochizuki might have gotten demoted partly because there were bigger expectations for Revice and maybe also the controversies with Aguilera's actress and that female assistant producer who got harassed during production.

>>23370192
Like this anon said >>23370203, the 20th anniversaries having more budget are the exceptions, they usually have less budget than regular V-Cinemas, although I doubt Sho Aikawa is being kept away from working as a main writer, it's mostly that no one wants to hire him as a main writer after his Garo anime.

Yeah Zeztz came in way too late.
And it’s funny because they could have based him off Black and it would have worked. Everyone loves that show and it has not had any tributes outside of Black Sun.

>>23370206
This a perfect show to give them a reality check, reminding them that Kamen Rider is a childrens' show first and foremost.

>>23370213
Ghost got him demoted he then was promoted again with Ryusoulger wasn't he? Or am I misremembering?
Also I don't think the Aguilera thing affected Mochizuki because that was more related to the agency but the assistant producer controversy could have affected with his demotion.

>>23370212
It was definitely a result of them just typing different names of Riders into an AI and picking the best design it shit out

>>23369681
>AI is sexy
The gooner threads you go to are not what companies use AI for

>>23369851
true, but the suit also has it

>>23369701
>>23369704
Not that anon but holy fuck are you guys sensitiva, he was only joking

>>23370217
Two different leakers from different countries each said it's Takahashi, the only reason I'm willing to believe it isn't Takahashi is because Yanaka is a drama producer, so you'd think he would pick someone like Takano or Mutou. But Yanaka was also an assistant producer for Ex-Aid so I guess that's why he wanted to pick him again for Rider?

>>23369703
>intimidates the kaijin
>smacks their faces to flinch
>leaves while weakening them again

>>23370226
I'm the second anon, I was genuinely asking because I really don't understand what the joke was or what kind of diversity he was talking, it's a broad word.

>>23370220
>Aguilera thing affected Mochizuki because that was more related to the agency
Didn't she claim she was being looked at sexually by a co-worker on Revice? It was a separate issue from the stalker that her agency refused to help her with.

>>23369735
>>23369743
Outsiders used AI and so did Gozyuger. King Ohger didn’t but it’s clear that they didn’t invest in that technology then but they will now. And if you want an excuse you can just say “dream worlds are weird so we use AI to create this weirdness”. The more excuses you let this company use AI, the worse it gets. Donbrother also used digital worlds and never used AI.
Keep in mind this show is meant to be international, so complaining about this stuff will actually get them to listen.

>>23370230
She claimed that but being looked sexually isn't the same as being stalked and the staff did address the issue by having her film less scenes with whoever was looking at her that way.

>>23370218
Black was already Ichigou homage in the first place.

>>23370015
They better not. If the official reveal on japanese television has english in it then might as well have a separate reveal for international audiences.

>>23370231
>Outsiders
Are you talking about the sheet of paper? Because if so they usually use staff pictures for those so using AI isn't a big deal and with Gozyuger it is because of the setting. Using AI isn't always morally wrong and this is a teaser that was probably not even done by the staff.
If the actual show does use AI multiple times for the backgrounds in Zeztz in the show proper then I will complain just like you but right now I feel like people are being too hasty.

>>23369681
>Gozyuger announces itself as the last Sentai so they get a break as well.
what?

>>23370231
>The more excuses you let this company use AI, the worse it gets.
I have no idea how people don't realise this. They're not using it for accuracy to the show, they're just fucking cheap.

>>23370071
It was never good, people just liked it a lot because the show before it was very bad and boring. It only gets worse from where you are.

>>23369703
Oh, I get it now. They animate like the Hiden Disks in Shinkenger, don't they.

>>23370243
>Are you talking about the sheet of paper?
There's a scene which features 3 different A.I. pics during a speech, Zein's Henshin sequence also seems to use a few A.I. generated landscapes to depict alternate worlds.

>>23370249
Have you not been paying attention to massive outcry against AI taking jobs in America or are you acting like a retard and complaining about AI taking Japanese jobs in a thread that's dedicated to Japanese media?

>>23370249
Well yeah, the west are mostly incompetent when it comes to entertainment right now so using AI won't really make a difference, specially when almost every non-indie voice actor are mentally ill for some reason, if entertainment in the west was closer to how it was 15 years ago or so then people would complain about AI usage just as much. Japan has actual talent so if they cheap out and use AI it could have catastrophic problems.
I don't see how any of this is relevant to Zeztz though, it has 3 producers and the longest pre-production period since Kuuga so arguably it should have been able to make more CGI backgrounds than King-Ohger before the show starts, the 3 AI backgrounds are scare me but hopefully this is just an one time thing.

>>23370265
They shouldn't have released an official teaser that used AI in the first place

>>23370258
I confused Girls Remix with Outsiders sorry.
Does anyone have a webm of the Outsiders AI pics?

>>23370268
I wonder if this has anything to do with one of Toei's marketers, ADK, being bought by Korea
Does Korea uses a lot of AI? I'm not familiar with their media

OPEN YOUR BREASTS FOR THE NEXT ZEZTZ

>>23370265
Kingohger and gavv LED scene were shite though.
Idk why TOI invent in this thing instead hiring competent CG company like Tsuburaya did.

>>23370273
zetsu doesn't rhyme with breasts

New Character Art for the Anime

>>23370275
they continue using it /because/ they already invested in it and built it up. there's little point for a company in financial peril to just up and abandon a huge tech upgrade they have just because a few viewers don't like it. it gets the job done for them and that's all that matters at the end of the day.

Kamen rider is indeed for le children, including Gavv. You can enjoy it but thats still the main market. It always has been.

>>23370275
>hiring competent CG company like Tsuburaya did.
you keep glazing at them yet the CG opening fight on Omega premiere didn't look that good when Omega and the kaiju moving

>>23370133
GOOD MORNING RIDER SIR

now that rider is going international for real this time, zesty better have a true lgbt character this time around. shouma and hanto aren't enough

>>23369676
Why do you guys always do this? Anytime someone complains about Gavv you always move the goalpost to other shows.

>>23369674
What?

>>23370296
All mainline Kamen Rider seasons are for children they're under the kodomo category

>>23370219
You talk as if every season didn't have childish stuff and as if Gotchard is hated it's because it's too kiddy

>>23369990
You're implying Toei's staff had public SNS. The only known Toei's staff that's active with western fanbase on SNS is fucking Shirakura.

>>23370308
>You talk as if every season didn't have childish stuff
Gavv certainly doesn't have enough for retards like >>23370148
>Gotchard is hated because it's too kiddy
It's one of the most common reasons why it's hated, yes. But the point isn't making them hate Gotchard (you projected hard here), it's showing them a show that's kiddy enough to remind them who the target demographic is.

I dont like Gotchard cause it uses cards for gimmicks

>>23369782
The arm of Bandai handling the toys over here is pretty much dead in the water, but I can't imagine we won't get access to the toys at some point

>>23369885
>>23369880
I don't think it'll get dubbed right away like Ultraman is doing but if it does well enough I think Toei might do it.

>>23370006
That would technically make him the fourth person to be in Sentai (PR), Rider, and Ultraman

I mean i love gavv so much, but DAMN these villain group is among the worst ever. So underutilized.

>>23369798
>>23369800
If you mean press conference, that's the Bandai one for toy dealers and distributors.

>>23370363
I just batch of full staff. Or maybe they will release it tomorrow? You know, at the 7th of july? 7th reiwa rider?

>>23370363
>>23370369
That's the toy showcase, the press conference is the stream they do with the actual press where they properly reveal the staff, cast, setting and have a first proper trailer. We don't have a date for the press conference yet and they're always after the summer movie.
Next Friday is the toy showcase and a new teaser, meaning we'll just get the belt sounds at minimum and at most we'll get our first look at Yezz's rival form and maybe a look at some forms.

>>23370369
Full staff reveal probably at july 11th where they reveal more about the toy or could be at press conference on august.

>>23370382
Someone already posted that >>23369856

>>23370382
I wonder how sentient the bike is going to be if it has the ability to talk unlike Auto Vajin

>>23370339

>>23370382
Please tell color-san to give us new info
I'm starving for zeztz -_-'

>>23370397
hoping for belt-san level

Now this is projecting

>>23370400
Every Kamen Rider season since Den-O has sold well and Gotchard sold better than Geats, although the reason it sold better was because of adults were really into the collectable card trend at the time.
Kamen Rider still sells a lot with children, it you want to see a kid franchise that's really popular with adults but both sells poorly and its audience with kids are uneven see Sentai.

>>23370408
Must you bring TokuTwitter's delusions here?

>23370408

And if that isn't the reason you're doing this then stop showing us western twitter images, keep that shit away from 4chan

>>23370412

>>23370382
So the bike just speaks perfect English then? Interesting.

>>23370409
>the reason it sold better was because of adults were really into the collectable card trend at the time.
And you have proof kids weren't into it as well?

>>23369856
>>23370382
I didn't see the first post, the bike being able to talk sounds cool, wonder who the VA is, I assume it's a sports announcer again since I don't recognize the voice from the trailer at all

>>23370426
I always like when Bandai hires sports announcers to voice drivers because they always turn out great when it happens.

>>23370425
I just said that it was popular with kids anon, but the modern card trend is more of adult thing which is why Q1 had a booat, the rest of the sales after were mostly kids which shows that just like mroe Rider shows, kids love this franchise since Rainbow Dragon sold well.
I really don't get why you're pretending this franchise isn't for kids or that it sells poorly.

>>23370408
>"they can try and get a new audience!"
>"I hope they use this opportunity to discard the things that give the franchise it's identity!"

>>23370442
>implying Kamen Rider has an identity at this point

How much longer until Gavv's forced "Final form that looks exactly like the base form" debut

Is Kami the true successor to Hidenori Ishida?

>>23370447
If you weren't a newfag you'd know the answer

>>23370446
It definitely has a more defined identity than Metal Heroes or Fushigi no Comedy, the variety Kamen Rider and Super Sentai have are one of the main reasons they've managed to stay afloat

>>23370453
I've been here since gaim, I just don't have the autism to keep track of these things.

>>23370458
>autism to keep track of these things
Every time that trope has happened it has been in the finale, you don't need to be autistic to know that you newfag

I don't think anyone here has posted a picture of Takasaki Sota yet, weird how much he's getting overlooked

So this is where Yanaka worked with Kami, him being an Omori-expy makes the Zeztz's staff make more sense

>>23370028
That's fucking metal, I expect whatever we get as the blu-ray mini-series for Zeztz to be hardcore as fuck too

>>23370466
I guess because he's the lowest rung of the Toei producers for Zeztz? It's basically a drama producer being helped by a toku producer and another drama producer, which is pretty weird for a Toei toku staff-wise.

>>23370481
I could see the whole glowie angle that this show is going for working with this staff configuration at least
But it's weird that they picked an edutaiment producer for Boonboomger and two drama producers for Zeztz

>>23370487
Yeah someone posted this theory way back on the 8moe threads when 4chan was down, and on Baidu before that

>>23370487
>>23370492
Found it https://desuarchive.org/m/thread/23210788/#23211382
Hope they really do this for the final form

>>23370490
What do you mean by glowie angle? In how Zeztz is part of a secret org that could be connected to the government?

>>23370497
Yeah I'm just used to referring secret agents as glowies, sorry.

>>23370357
Only Lango and Glota, the rest is pretty OK and Lango can still make a bit of a comeback.

>>23369777
In Saber, Yuri/Saikou is a shadow producer.

Yeah so you know that Viet FB page that leaks info on Zeztz and Yezz? Turn out they got access to the first two episodes since the Vietnamese distributor of Zeztz wanted to hire outside subtitle team at first, but then they stopped when they learned info security might be compromised.

So Yezz will appear very early on.

They have defined personalities, and they contribute to the plot well. They have great suits, designs and acting with likeable actors playing them which add to their appeal.
It's telling that the number one criticism of Gavv is that they want them to be seen more. If they were bad they would want them gone.

They look different, most of them are relegated to being in movies/specials and often not even the main Rider, and unlike Power Rangers they're just homages instead of constantly being Hongou but redesigned.
I also think that the Rider 1 homages are getting a bit overused but it's still night and day from

So are they ever doing anything with Gorgeous again or are we just one and done on that.

>>23370926
How do you expect any of us to know? If I had to guess we might get a crossover between Legend, Girls Remix and Outsiders during Zeztz

>>23370472
>>23370480
Does Yanaka have any interviews? All I was able to find was him being at somes panels of Build but seemingly never commenting anything

>>23369841
these aren't the wings they talked about are they?
feels like part of the henshin

>>23370939
There are no wings in that image so I don't know what you're talking about
We'll probably see the wings and the knife on friday

>>23370846
The belt not being around his waist is throwing the whole suit off for me.

So right now from oldest senior to youngest Toei's producer pool are
>Takebe
>Kuji
>Yanaka
>Sato
>Minato
>Matsuura
>Takijima
Glad that the producer pool has somewhat stabilized, Reiwa has been too hectic with Omori leaving, Mochizuki getting immediately demoted, Takahashi getting promoted and both Tsukada and Shirakura producing shows despite technically not being supposed to

>>23370956
It's weird that they didn't give him a waist belt as a holder despite being a secret agent. Have we ever getting a main post-W Rider without a belt holder

>>23370721
>FLOOR TILES

I get a lot of you are so far into sunk cost fallacy that you'll put up with anything. But you aren't actually going to watch a rider series that heavily uses gen AI, right?

>>23370973
>OHIO

>>23370980
no one has sunk anything into zeztz yet since it hasn't aired or started selling toys

>>23370980
I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for the teaser but if there's AI shit in the first episode I won't be getting too invested in it. I'll wait to see how the episodes are with it before they get subbed.

>>23370980
AI generated everything is the future, get over it already.

>>23370699
>They have defined personalities
They're generic archetypes.
>and they contribute to the plot well.
They disappeared for an entire quarter and barely done anything in general.
They're all dying not because of their own faults and flaws but the plot wants them too. Suga's baby motivation is just unresolved, Glotta finally got development and died the next episode.
>They have great suits, designs and acting with likeable actors playing them which add to their appeal.
That's such a generic response. You can say that about every single character in this franchise and it still wouldn't matter if they're written poorly.
>is that they want them to be seen more.
not seen but actually do something.

>>23370991
>uh, ith's the fyuchurh
Kill yourself techfaggot

I thought we were gonna get a suit made out of 3D printed materials first

>>23370891
Least triggered Gavv fan

>>23370915
Maybe not the best team for this particular premise

>>23370980
I will watch it, but the use of AI will negatively impact my enjoyment tremendously. I wont officially support it though, and for the first time ever, that actually matters. I can choose to legally watch it now, but I can choose piracy out of spite.

>>23371055
Based

>>23370915
Mostly hopeful
>Drama producers could potentially get a lot of use from Kami
>3 producers like King-Ohger's pre-production but actually staying this time means we could get a good variety of CGI backgrounds
>The kaijin apparently get defeated on the real world so it might not be as CGI-heavy as King-Ohger
>Kami is one of the best toku directors out there
>Yezz's backstory of being trapped in the dream world sounds interesting
>A drama producer might make the relationship between Zeztz and the secret organization closer to something like Kuuga or Drive where the side characters feel continously useful
>Multiple Agent gadgets and a drama producer, implying we might have Zeztz have stealth segments like a lot of Showa era toku
>Bike that both turns into a talking robot and fuses with Zeztz sounds really cool
>A lesser form count could lead to older forms getting more use past Q1
>The rival being the secondary could potentially eliminate Takahashi's issue of shafting the secondary
>If they allow Takahashi to go serialized and not change his plans half-way through we would get something like Ex-Aid in terms of pacing
>Having am older cast might not be a pipe dream, that's usually beneficial to the acting as shown with Build, Donbrothers and King-Ohger
(1/2)

Its only like 1, max 2 frames in the whole trailer, these could just be cutting corners a bit on barely visible shots, its too early to be doomposting like this

>>23370915
>>23371064
But I also fear
>The staff might try to be too tryhard edgy
>Producer might be a normalfag which could lead to shitty music and lack of insert songs
>Takahashi isn't really good at writing villains on his own, he usually needs someone to tardwrangle him to put out good villains, I don't know if Yanaka would do that
>Less toys could lead to this season selling badly
>This season seemingly getting a higher budget could lead to the next season being cheaper
>We might get a drama action director that might shafts toku action battles for out of suit battles and drama, basically a more extreme case of King-Ohger's second half. But honestly I doubt that I'm almost certain that we'll get NabeJun again
>Releasing the shows officially on YouTube could potentially lead to Kamen Rider being far tamer like some of Toei's Anime, but so far Toei has managed to release some toku episodes on YouTube without any issue so I'm hopeful it will stay that way
>We might get a really shitty subber, but so far Tokushoutsu and Ultraman get the job done without doing any retarded shit, so while they aren't as good as fansubs I can probably live with it
>We might get AI LED backgrounds which could lead to Zeztz feeling really generic
>The motif seems to be random shit + animal again, which sucks because Build, Geats and Gotchard weren't that long ago and every Reiwa Rider except Gavv has had animals as a centerpiece
>Zeztz being based on Ichigo doesn't feel special because of how many homages we've gotten as of late
>Too soon for another Takahashi season so a lot of tropes might overlap
(2/2)

Mika's actress at the exhibition

Ai Fairouz
>I will be playing the role of Yukaris in the anime 'Higashijima Tansaburo Wants to Become Kamen Rider'!
>Unexpectedly, a Shocker! She’s a very straightforward, intensely loving, and super cute girl
>Everyone mentioned it in the interviews, but the recording sessions are basically a loud voice battle!
It’s a story of adults shouting out love with all their might—please enjoy it!"

Suga and Hanto

The texture of the helmet looks weird, is it supposed to be a bike helmet?

>>23370980
I'll give it a fair try. If the show itself and not just the PV is heavy on AI, I'll not watch(if it sucks) or pirate it instead of watching on the official channels.
But I'm most likely just going to take yet another yearlong break like with Saber.

>>23370980
do we know if it was completely generated with AI or was it AI assisted?

>>23371084
>is it supposed to be a bike helmet?
Have I got news for you about what Kamen Rider is

>>23371065
There's 4

>>23371096
Retard I'm talking if the reason it looks weird is because it's a bike visor painted over, we haven't gotten a Kamen Rider protagonist with an actual bike visor on his main form. Also in other shots the chin looks different confusing me even more on the paintjob.

>>23371093
There are 3 AI backgrounds in the teaser, otherwise the rest are live-action backgrounds or CGI. Zeztz himself is live-action during the whole teaser.

>>23371093
There's backgrounds that are full on AI, the suit itself looks like something shat out by an AI and refined by human artists

>>23371104
i meant the Zeztz' suit.

>>23371109
The suit of fully live-action, if you mean the design itself we have no idea but I doubt they made it using AI

What kind of westerner are we expecting for Zeztz's agent organization?
>Guy that doesn't know English that gets continuously bullied by the cast but somehow becomes one of the most badass characters in the show
>Helpful sidekick with a romance subplot
>Antagonistic asshole that might become a Rider later
>Retired Rider that's mostly a semi-recurring background character and world-building set piece who we'll never see actually fight

>Zeztz news, seems like at the very least it will be unique
>Tojima news, looking good so far
>Puniru is back
>Gavv/Gozyuger have been a mostly solid SHT
>Actual best case scenario for Jojo's staff
>Mushoku teaser looks good
>Ghost in the Shell teaser looks good
>Yomi no Tsugai Anime got announced and it has a good staff
>Vermilion Mask Anime announced with a good staff
>Extra confirmation that Murata is the fault of One Punch Man's issues
>Comfy streams by Made In Abyss author, new chapter soon
Only problem is that there are so many good shows releasing this season, specially on Sunday which overlaps with SHT that I don't know how I'll find time to watch all of these, otherwise this was an extremely comfy weekend

Honestly, Zeztz really does like they just went and prompted "make the coolest looking Kamen Rider ever made, inspired by the original Kamen Rider" into an AI and changed the final result a bit.

>>23371148
okay?

>>23371157
Yea i also love making shit up to get upset at

AI puritans are so funny because they'll call anything and everything AI and maybe 1 out of 10 times be right about it

>>23371166
>thinking they didn't actually do this on some level

>>23371173
They will be right, the problem is the dumbasses who are too retarded to actually notice always say "uh seems fine to me bro" like (you)

>>23371178
Blusky is that way faggot >

>>23371180
No argument?

>>23371120
Tommy.

>>23371173
>>23371178
Both of you are retards on the extreme, using Ai isn't necessarily a bad thing and so far the way Toei have used it has been inoffensive, if we do get a lot of AI backgrounds for Zeztz it might be a problem because it could make so of the episodes feel generic since the story's focus are on exploring dreams. However people act like 4 seconds of AI backgrounds on a teaser that might have not even been made by the staff is decisive proof that the show will use AI and are already talking like niggers acting like them pirating it now will somehow have an effect on the franchise.
I don't get why people from the US like to have extreme opinions, immediately jump the shark and never properly research anything, it always like they're looking for whatever petty excuse to get mad at. Well, at least they're not SEA I guess.

>>23371184
The argument is that you're a faggot claiming the sky is falling because of some shitty modeling work for an advertisement

Comment on Nyelv's Granute form by the suit's designer: https://twitter.com/tam2shino/status/1941867070213571011
>I think many people were surprised that Nielv's monster form is unexpectedly massive, but the idea is that he has biologically modified himself to achieve that (the fang-like things on his shoulders and thighs are also added weapons).
>When I originally drew him, I didn’t expect he would become such a "modification enthusiast", but considering that, I think it makes sense.

>>23371243
The announcement trailer should be aiming to put the best foot forward so there is legitimate reason to be concerned if they're allowing that to be half-assed in a significant and noticeable way.

>>23371243
>might have not even been made by the staff
Irrelevant since they looked it over and said "yup, that's fine" and officially uploaded it to the internet. If they weren't okay with using AI in the actual show they sure as fuck wouldn't have given it a pass for the teaser.
