>beat me to it
Dammit I wanted to make about the exhibition...

>>23377622
Omori kind of did his archetype again with King-Ohger if you want to temporarily fill that hole

With Takahashi coming back, Rider will finally have good writing again.

>>23377619
I like how Zeztz's Q1 forms are all very Kuuga-like IE quite simple.

>>23377622
>>23377626
He came back not that long ago

>>23377630
Also Kiva & wizard, never forget.

>>23377630
Hopefully it means we get a focus on the form changes again like Kuuga, power up forms can be cool but them being thrown away after a couple of episodes is always disappointing.

>>23377633
according to my autism, i considered all content after the show not canon

>>23377629
We may also have a female Rider again.

>>23377639
Hope we get Flame Dragon like power ups for them.

>Zeztz design is just Revice

>>23377628
and Zero-One
>>23377633
>>23377640
That’s a clone dumbass

>>23377631
I mentioned Monstaboo being bad on the other post and I'm not trying to excuse Takahashi as a writer, I literally said he's bad at adapting to last minute changes. I also don't want him to be the main writer because Geats, Zero-One and Ex-Aid weren't to long ago so tropes like his usual artificial human stuff will overlap and feel repetitive. I like Geats' Q2 and from what I've seen people generally like Lopo and the Jyamato Grand Prix, they mostly just don't like Nadge-Sparrow and Neon.
I'm just saying that there's higher chances for Zeztz to be closer to Ex-Aid due to the production conditions.

>>23377634
Wizard had color forms but the visor was fairly different for each. Zeztz's are much more Kuuga-like in how the face is the same every time with a different color.

>>23377613 (OP)
This fanart makes him look like he has more armor than he actually has.

>>23377639
If I may surmise, each month will have two forms so there’s more time to stretch it out:

>September
Zeztz Physicam Impact
Pseudo-Rider Yezz

>October
Zeztz Technolom Stream
Zeztz Esprim Recovery

>November
Zeztz Paradigm Wonder
Kamen Rider Yezz

>December
Zeztz Inazuma Plasma

I prefer the beret combatmen to the lucha mask ones

>>23377639
They aren't marketing Inazuma with the others. Quarterly upgrades are still going to happen.

>>23377650
Don't reply to shitposter, anon.

>>23377613 (OP)
I miss S.I.C.s so much

>>23377662
I thought we didn't have a date for Inazuma Plasma yet. Although you're most likely right that it will release in december anyway.

>>23377373
To have those thicc thighs wrapped around my head.

Have we learned our lesson this time to keep our expectations low? We even have a writer we're familiar with and know he always shits himself after the first quarter, so you faggots who always complain when a show inevitably falls off have no excuse.

>>23377662
>minimal upgrades and riders
I will believe it when I see it. Gavv only had 2 riders for Q1, but there were a bunch of forms for both of them to use.

>>23377668
It’s the Q1 upgrade equivalent to CaKing, Super Gotchard…

>>23377619
any chance we gettin inazuma form in sight?

>>23377670
My expectations are the same as Geats: it will be good for Q1 and mediocre to horrible for the rest of the show.

>>23377641
Based

>>23377672
But Yezz only becomes Rider later this year. If he uses Capsems in his Pseudo-Rider form it would only be like Valvarad’s Customs.

>>23377619
Interesting that his helmet color doesn't change.

>>23377673
tbf it hasn't been confirmed if it's an upgrade or not, we just know it has electric powers and a bow.
But it will most likely be the upgrade because unlike the other forms this has two colors, being yellow and silver and because the bow seemingly isn't another form of the main weapon.

>>23377676
That also describes Ex-Aid and Zero-One. Takahashi is nothing if not consistent.

>>23377680
I feel the weird shade of teal they used fits all four colors pretty well

>>23377669
Why do you keep replying to yourself?

>>23377681
>Gold and silver
>Name isn’t in the first batch of leak, only known as a form with bow and arrow
>They don’t advertise it alongside the others

It screams Q1 upgrade.

>>23377687
Calm down, schizo.

>still getting consistent use this late in the show
Kneel to Gavv's best form.

>>23377675
We most likely won't see Inazuma or Yezz's Rider form on the presscon nor in this toy fair but there's a a chance we could see Yezz's Pseudo Rider form, Zeztz's secret agent gadgets and the bike's robot form.

>>23377684
Ex-Aid just improves after Q1, aside from some late game stuff with Masamune though?

>>23377670
You realize that will just make people following that narrative shit on the show from the start, right?

Just look at Gavv. A lot of the people shitting on it in threads are going on about how they always said it'd fall apart, even though it's a pretty good show.

>>23377672
If this is their attempt to capture Western/international attention, then they may be trying to keep it simple and safe. Of course I'd be surprised if the show ended with less than five Riders given how things typically go nowadays, but for the most part I'd expect Zeztz and later Yezz to be the only Riders running around for most of the show.

>>23377619
>Everyone whining about it being Kamen rider 1 again
>it's kuuga again
Can't wait for an absolutely zestless final fight with a literallywho glup shitto.

>>23377633
That's a clone.

>>23377640
Then you're just objectively incorrect.

>>23377690
can’t pass up a 10/10 design

>>23377670
But most people liked Ex-Aid here, almost everyone was wary before Gotchard due to to Uchida and Minato being new, also for Gavv because of Komura's track record.
And from what I've seen it's mostly normalfags that are overtly excited for Zeztz because of the worldwide push, hardcore fans are keeping their expectations in check due to the new producer and getting 4 Takahashi shows so close to each other. It's just that people aren't going full doomer because the production style being similar to King-Ohger's.

>>23377690
Cant wait for its kitbash next year

>>23377619
So they mixed Ichigo with Kuuga/Kiva to make aesthetics that feel fitting for an entry point, but for the already established Japanese fanbase they added the chest belt so that it doesn't feel samey to old designs?

>>23377698
Have you been watching Gavv? It did fall apart after the first quarter. It's been stumbling along basically the entire middle of the show and the ending is shaping up to be a rushed and unsatisfying mess.

>>23377715
A chocolate cake Valen using these molds would look pretty cool.

>>23377698
>>23377713
Nah we just have superior taste than you. That's all.

have we seen any new footage since sunday

>>23377719
Nah, the only week point was the clone arc feeling really separate from everything else. Otherwise its pacing, characters and atmosphere have remained very consistent. Like, saying it's getting "rushed" now is utterly senseless when it's just going with the same pacing it had before.

Either way, my point is that the people often posting about Gavv sucking also claim they always said it'd such, so clearly low expectations didn't lead to a better community or discussions.

>>23377698
The second half of Ex-Aid is weaker than the first half since Masamune isn't as charismatic as Kuroto, all that stuff with Hiiro's girlfriend and the multiple character revivals diminishing the stakes. Still a mostly good second half though.

>>23377719
The second quarter being weaker and the villains being plain isn't the same as the show falling apart. Gavv is generally considered to be mostly great here. Why do you treat your opinions as facts?

>>23377724
No, but we should get a new teaser either later today or tomorrow, I'm not sure at what time the fair starts.

>>23377713
>aren't going full doomer
Shitposters, don't lump me in with them even if i hate takahashi.
>>23377719
>unsatisfying
Again, that's a (you) problem.

we never got that Gavv x Dentman crossover

>>23377732
I didn't lump you with them, I was just pointing out that people have indeed learnt their lesson since from what I saw people kept their expectations mostly in check for the past 3 seasons.

>>23377719
Every show dips after the first quarter, retard. They put all their budget and effort into the first quarter to draw people in and sell toys. If you haven't dropped it by episode 12/13, you're likely to stick with it until the end unless it turns into a complete trainwreck and even then people hate watch.

ZEZTZU
MEZTZU

>>23377727
Gavv has some of the weakest villains of any Rider series. They mostly just sat around the whole show doing next to nothing and they're only now being paraded out because the show only has about two months left, so their battles and the heroes winning against them are weightless.

>>23377731
Yeah, but people really fell in love with Ex-Aid due to the Q1 -> Q2 transition though. There's a reason people kept asking for a big Christmas death/event for a few years afterewards like it were a big tradition. Q2 just left that much of a positive impression. The fall off was more in late Q3/beginning of Q4 due to stretching Masamune as the only relevant villain for so long.

>>23377738
METSU!

>>23377670
>Have we learned our lesson this time to keep our expectations low?
Why would I? Gavv has been great.
>We even have a writer we're familiar with and know he always shits himself after the first quarter
If you're talking about ex-aid, nah. Ex-aid was a good time the whole way through and I hope we get a character as memeable as Kuroto.
>so you faggots who always complain when a show inevitably falls off have no excuse.
Welcome to 4chan, where 99.9% of the posters hate the thing they pretend to like. Me and maybe one other person who posts in this general actually like kamen rider. The rest of you are just here to whine like the 14 year old underage B& you are.

These are Zeztz' form changes. Say anything about them.

>rider already have the new 007 before UK
Don't mind if i do

>>23377719
Sorry, I can't hear your bitching over Vram aura farming to SHAKE IT OFF.

>>23377747

>>23377747
>Shin Kamen Rider-esque
guaranteed trash

>>23377734
I think people being so overhyped for Revice VS how the show actually turned out did help people learn to keep their expectations in check.
At least Gavv has been great so far, so maybe this extra devtime is actually helping the shows. Although there's no guarantee that the show after Zeztz will have extra devtime, hopefully this becomes an actual trend rather than a coincidental rarity for these two seasons.

>23377736
OHNONONONONOO
Don't you dare baiting people like that
Just stop, get a new topic please

>>23377754
?

My whole thing about Takahashi is that, based on all three of the Riders he's written so far, he has a bad habit of not letting any deaths stick. Knowing this, it's going to be really hard to feel anything for a character's death in Zeztz because there's a nonzero chance of them coming back.

>>23377761
not that one. I should've said showatrash

>>23377747
The leakers weren't lying about the Ben 10 comparisons.

>>23377741
>few years afterewards like it were a big tradition
I mean Christmas deaths happen very often, like even before Ex-Aid we had Kabuto. It's because before W Christmas would happen around the final arc and since W it happens in the climax of the first arc.

>>23377719
I definitely agree the show faltered after its first quarter, and especially after Shoma and Hanto settled their beef. But I don’t think it became bad, it just went from great to alright.

https://twitter.com/TVguidePERSON/status/1942886456537514002
Umasho.

Summer Festival's Gavv trio.

>>23377740
The Stomach have all these background connections to the main cast that were built even when they weren't active though (like we got new Lango flashbacks even during the clone arc where he wasn't even appearing in the present) and Bocca and Lysel are decently active in comparison to the Stomach, although lack in personal connections.

I guess the show doesn't have that sense of the heroes always fighting the villains as they progress, building a sense of rivalry, but personally, I don't think that's really necessary. It all depends on the type of villain, and parading around too much won't suddenly make them great characters either, see th Megid Trio. Or can even hurt them if don't too much (See Masamune or Gai). I actually like the show so far has avoided getting stuck on the heroes facing the same enemies repeatedly.

So what's the reason people keep giving (you)s to shitposters like >23377719? It makes the discussions of these threads overlap a lot

>>23377515
I hope this happens because it sounds metal as fuck. They've been hyping this movie more than the previous Takebe summer movies at least but the setting just screams that it will be like all of her previous ones which is why I sadly doubt it will happen.

>>23377755
If komura can reduce her flaw at least up to 20%, then it's the same with takahashi.

>>23377741
>Yeah, but people really fell in love with Ex-Aid due to the Q1 -> Q2 transition though. There's a reason people kept asking for a big Christmas death/event for a few years afterewards like it were a big tradition.

Ok, this might be a hot take, but I always thought Kiriya getting killed was one of the worst story choices Ex-Aid did, cause there was way more interesting things that could have been done with him alive and working together with Emu. Killing him just meant that the status quo amongst the Riders resetted back to all of them being at odds with each other, and now we tack on this mystery of figuring out what Kiriya learned before he died. In fact, I feel you can make a direct throughline between the fallout of Kiriya death and all the other story issues that Ex-Aid had.

>>23377768
they really showed a video of him choking on a cherry stone and dying?

>>23377775

"Summer is hot already, but not as hot as Kamen Rider Agito's fiery Flame Form!"

>>23377515
>>23377773

He supposedly is a world destroyer already, so I'd be surprised if he's only getting the belt midway through the movie.

That said, there is a suspicious lack of the alternate Gavv transforming... It could be a Gaim movie situation too where he's just an illusion/form of the villain.

>>23377787
Oh man, what a relatable twitter account

>>23377777
Again, the middle going nowhere in her previous shows were due to the producers (director in the case of Healing Precure), not her, that's why Gavv's middle progressed the plot and character relationships a lot.
The problem that's actually Komura's fault are the character focus, which isn't that big of a problem for Rider as it is for Sentai because Rider isn't team based. So the Rider trio gets ton of development but the villains are too simple and Sachika while continuously useful and likeable has a notable lack of backstory and despair moments.
This next part is my headcanon but I feel that Gavv was really close to suffering the same issue as Kiva's and Geats' second halves due to Takebe not actually doing the government organization plan due to lack of budget but the vice producer basically saved the show by coming up with some ideas to compensate, so Q2 ended up being worse than the rest of the show but not straight up bad.

>>23377784
Streets sayin taorin is the real villain.

>>23377775
I’m surprised no one has flat out called him an alien yet, because that’s all I’m seeing.

>>23377777
We have been blessed with Zeztz quints

>>23377775
I hope this means they'll allow Kami-san to do ton of explosions this time. I remember him mentioning he was having withdrawals during King-Ohger due to lack of real explosions since most of the ones used in the show were simulated.

>>23377772
Those connections mean very little when the characters are flat. And when they’re not, it’s because they make up some last minute nonsense about them like Glotta just as they’re about to die. And they’re constantly usurped by Bocca and his bitch daughter instead of letting them be on their own.

>23377667
You are a shitposter.

>>23377777

Pic related still remains the biggest contrast in rider impression to actual character.

I don't get this. Always found the watch face comical of a design. His upgrades even more-so.

>>23377863
he looks like he drew the drawstrings on his hoodie too tightly

>>23377863
I like Sougo but he looks like a 12 year old. I can't buy him as an all-powerful evil tyrant

>>23377889
>Three words together

>>23377863
The main issue with Sougo is that they drop the whole "he seems innocent has some characteristics that could lead to the demon king" after q1. It should have lasted until at least Zi-O 2's debut to give more time to show Sougo's negative side before he overcomes it and also leave more of an impression on the viewers.

>>23377747
It's weird that he doesn't have a red form unless his base counts

>>23377903
Physicam Impact is pretty much his "red" form

>>23377903
Seems like the armor plating remains teal though all of them, only the alienware color stripes change. I like it

>>23377857
The actual belt voice can make or break this.

Barely.

>>23377881
The contrast between him and his future self, not him and his base form.

>>23377909
As long as its not the Revice driver voice its good

>>23377925
Doubt it will be like Revice if they're targeting international audience, like how every Ultraman toys since Z stopped doing "Engrish" or even straight up no voices at all beside sound effects.

This green and black looks a lot better than what we were shown. What the hell? Lighting, I guess. Paradigm Wonder looks like they tried to print it on a faulty printer.
>>23377762
After Zero-One and Geats constantly reviving everyone every few episodes, I think it's a fair bet to say any death in Zeztz will be written off as "Phew! Just a bad dream! They're all alive and well!". Even when they inevitably say "if you die in the dream you die in real life".

Thank you for confirming that you're complaining about a show you haven't actually watched. Hell at this point I bet you haven't watched actually watched any of the Sentai shows you complain about which is why you keep saying that the middle stall is Komura's fault despite interviews saying it was Utsunomiya's and Shirakura's decisions.

>>23377762
We can get permadeath if we get episode writers, but otherwise yeah...

Has Yanaka ever had an interview for any of his dramas or for when he was an assistant producer for Ex-Aid, Build and Outsiders?

I just noticed Zeztz Driver were using somesort of seatbelt-type, no wonder adults can wear this.

>>23377979
Yeah it seems to attach to an adjustable black strap

>>23377979
The ZeztzDriver being so easy for anyone to wear by default is probably really going to help it sell.

>>23377920
How does his base form look "strong and mature" when it's a fucking wristwatch with katakana written on it?

>>23377850
Young and inexperienced.
I wouldn't mind him being happy go lucky, but given that he's inspired by Agent 007 I want him to be an older protagonist like Sento or Hibiki, and to have some form of experience as an agent.

>>23378010
Happy go lucky would be clashing too much with Shouma, I know we might not get Zeztz x Gavv crossover but still they usually made some contrasts between protagonists back-to-back.

>>23378003
The suit design has chest pecs armor and a physically fit build that it is clearly made with an adult male user in mind, differing greatly from a twig like Sougo. As for the wristwatch, it is a nice Rolex-like silver that blends well with the black suit, and the whole design isn't obnoxiously childish because it still resembles a Kamen Rider even from far away.

>>23377979
Will it be boob-compatible?

>>23378030
I think it might be Takaiwa as well. Something about his suit acting seems more suited to mature characters.

>>23377979
Are catering to fat indonesians?

I feel like there will belike subthemes about Zeztz pumping iron religiously

>>23378046
Takaiwa played the biggest hothead in the franchise. He was just too old to be Sougo.

>>23378030
>The suit design has chest pecs armor
It's Kamen Rider, they all have that.
>and a physically fit build
This was Takaiwa's last main suit role, not only was he not physically fit he was openly admitting to be a fat over-eater because he knew it didn't matter.

You are PROFOUNDLY delusional.

>>23378030
All rider suits are for twigs. The thick plastic plating on the chest and midriff doesn’t fit buff or even average guys, the silhouette is too bulky.

>>23378041
Probably

>>23378053
To Takaiwa's credit, he never got as bad as Okamoto.

I hope Zeztz's final form item is a regular waist belt. I'll be incredibly disappointed if it isn't.

>>23378075
What if it's the same belt, but he just wears it on his waist?

>>23378077
I don’t like that for cheapening the new aesthetic. It’d be like an admission that this new idea is inferior. It’d gotta be additive.

>>23378077
It has to be two do that the torso can form a Z

>>23378081
Use the two belts.
The original go to the waist and and new a one for the chest.

>>23377792
>which isn't that big of a problem for Rider as it is for Sentai because Rider isn't team based
Funnily enough KR staff is pretty good at balancing Rider+side character+villain focus while Sentai is always gonna have the weakest link of the main 5.

I feel like part of the character focus issue is a lack of build up. It’s a really basic thing that even the worst shows like Revice didn’t fuck up on.
For example, “we” care about Shouma meeting his other family because it’s been shown and explained multiple times throughout the show. It started with Hanto doing field work and the recurring candy shop owner.
Nobody really cares Glotta’s issues because it was revealed an episode before her death.

>>23378060
Okamoto is also a barrel-chested guy who mainly played large suits in the latter 15 years of his career and by that special was technically retired. Takaiwa was an active suit actor for 20 years, nonstop, doing insane amounts of physical shit and he still out-ate that.

>>23378087
That’s what I mean by additive

>>23378083
>Second Belt goes on the Abdomen
>Special larger capsule that opens up into a Fan that spins around when using the belt
>Giant Z across the chest that extends off his collar at the top into a solid scarf

>>23378088
That's part of why a lot of people say Stomach are weak villains. They've basically been sitting around doing nothing for most of the show only to have their backstories and motivations laid out in the same episode they die. Jeebh is the only one who's gotten any real focus or development and that's after disappearing for the entire second quarter of the show. I don't care that Glotta is lonely and wants her family back because we didn't see any of that until the episode before she's beaten, so it fails to give her any kind of sympathy. The entire rest of the show she just struts around sneering at people and getting angry at everything and that's all we know about her.

Takahashi has never done a single good show

>>23378127
You never watched Aoi Honoo have you?

>>23378127
I liked geats

>>23378153
No. But regardless of the full context, that screencap perfectly encapsulates my disdain with the past 6 years of Kamen Rider.
>>23378158
I didn't, not even the Q1 that somehow people here liked.

I love enjoying bad seasons

>>23378182
Must have really enjoyed saber

>>23378189
Well i actually dropped Saber the first time around at like ep 10 i think but i feel like i didnt give it a proper chance so ill try again after Revice

>>23378177
Out of curiosity anon what are your favorite seasons

>>23378194
You know what, I'm gonna list my top 5:

1. Kuuga
2. Blade
3. OOO
4. Build
5. Den-O

Megamax is the best Kamen Rider movie.
Only watched to completion Black and Black RX of showa and Black RX was way better.

>>23377961
Lakia, Glotta and their whole arc are pretty inconsequential to the plot. Same with the raid to Stomach Inc. which outside of Glotta casually revealing Shouma's a Stomach to the other Riders just because, doesn't really bring them closer to beating the villains. Suga was completely wasted and his research so far has only been used by Bitters who up to this point are glorified monsters of the week rather than substantial threats. Bocca distributing Dark Treats to influential Granutes hasn't had a big payoff yet, the most we've gotten is a glorified Monster of the Week in the form of Magen. And Lango getting beaten just gave him an excuse to dip out of the show for a few more episodes.

Granted, I mostly had Q2 in mind when I made my post.

>which is why you keep saying that the middle stall is Komura's fault despite interviews saying it was Utsunomiya's and Shirakura's decisions
I rarely bring up Komura when discussing Gavv, I'm not your boogeyman, schizo-kun. That said, she still stalled significantly in Q2, which makes me think it's actually one of her issues. I'm not counting Zenkaiger because its nature as a lighthearted comedy show lends well to the inconsequential episodic format.

>>23378205
You know what anon solid taste for a top 5 except for build imo. While geats is not even my top 5, I still do think its a great season and am looking forward to seeing what can takahashi pull off if he does direct. I thought ex-aid and 01 was shit tho

>>23377826
Black Sun is objectively better than all of Reiwa except Gavv
Hell Zero-One did the social issues angle way worse with Chimp-It-Out, at least Black Sun actually criticized hurting people over "muh discrimination" instead of just saying one side was bad and that we should feel bad

>>23377619
im sorry but those forms made me think of pic related

>>23378248
Those looks all look pretty different anon, dunno what you're trying to imply.

>>23378003
Don't ask me, I wasn't the one saying that.

>>23378246
>Black Sun is objectively better than all of Reiwa except Gavv
Terrible taste.

>>23377869
He looks like a de-aged Hiroshi Nagano, I've always stood by that

>>23377772
>and parading around too much won't suddenly make them great characters either, see the Megid Trio
Yes, but it would make them better than they ended up being. Most of Saber's villains save for its final boss didn't survive nearly as long as Gavv's either, their deaths were spread throughout the show so they could pave way for Storious and wouldn't end up cluttering the endgame. Imagine if Legeiel, Zooous, and Master Logos were all still alive past episode 40, dragging their subplots along Storious'.
>Or can even hurt them if don't too much (See Masamune or Gai)
Yes, but the opposite isn't good either, because if the villains do too little for very long periods of time it will feel like the story's spinning its wheels/the plot is not advancing much, and it can also hurt the endgame if you delay all their resolutions up until the last few episodes like it happened with Geats. There has to be a balance to achieve a good satisfactory pacing for the plot.

>>23378294
To me, he looked very much like Daguva's actor during Kuuga. Honestly felt fitting.

>>23378294
We're aware given all the thread-derailing mental breakdowns you used to have over people calling you a retarded schizophrenic.

>>23378294
More like a de-ages Shirakura

>>23377850
Kenzaki

>>23378177
nta but you should check it out. its an alternate history comedy about various famous mangaka while they attend art school together. so many jokes about their sperging are abound in each episode. behold, the cool kid from this meme is reduced to a screeching autist by kino in its larval form.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfmLhXr8rm4

>>23378246
Black Sun is just ok outside of a few comically awful bits that dominates any discussion about it and the ending not being great (most KRs unfortunately don't nail the ending imo). I thought Amazons was overall the more enjoyable edgy reboot despite having it's own issues.

>>23378346
>its an alternate history comedy about various famous mangaka while they attend art school together
It's not alt history. It's definitely embellished but it's legit based on the autobiographical accounts of the author, he did in fact go to college with Anno and several other mangaka.

>>23378356
oh, mb. i knew it was based on true events but i wasnt sure how much of itwas made up for the sake of the stories/ comedy. I'm just gonna post another one of my favorite clips thats more /m/ related

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foFh8GBwlXM

>>23378358
Obviously lots of bits are embellished for interesting dramatization but they're based on things that actually happened (Like Anno really would just recreate Ultraman episodes in onsens).

>>23378246
Not with that ending it isn’t.

>>23377669
Getting Rider kicked by her would likely be very painful.

>>23378363
>Anno really would just recreate Ultraman episodes in onsens
that really does just make the awkward humor that much better. as previously stated its a great show, made better with knowledge of the culture

>>23378246
It's only better than Gotchard and Revice. The last episode and some of the characters like the one played by the ex-rapper of ALI end up diminishing the quality quite a lot. It isn't a bad show but it isn't great either.

I just finished Den-O and am about to watch Final Countdown before I move on to Kiva, but I noticed that the Den-O x Kiva crossover movie came out before Final Countdown.
Do I watch Climax Cop before Final Countdown or can I save it for after I've watched Kiva?

>>23378399
Climax Cop barely features Kiva, you can watch it without any knowledge of the show.

You know, I've honestly barely watched any Rider movies or any of the side content in general. I always just kind of skipped them. Am I missing out on much?

>>23378246
Black Sun was insultingly bad. The only Reiwa shows that is also insultingly bad is Revice.

>>23377979
those straps are still too short, they're practically dx size

>>23378406
Depends on the Rider. There are some that are absolute musts like Ryuki, Faiz, and Kabuto, then there are some that you can easily skip without missing anything like Showa vs Heisei. Some are even canon to the show's main story like Double.

>>23378406
If you weren't interested by their basic hook, like the crossovers or new movie Riders, you probably aren't. Most of them don't even actually execute the advertised hook well enough (in some of them it even feels like the hook is only there for trailer marketing).

>>23378406
>Am I missing out on much?
In general, the summer movies started being mostly recommendable during the second half of the Heisei era. W, Wizard, Fourze, Drive, Zero One, Build, Geats, Gaim, all had decent or passable summer movies. Basically, if you liked their respective shows, you are likely going to enjoy their summer movies. IIRC, the only summer movies that are arguably better than their respective shows are Zero One and Wizard's.

The crossover movies are all over the place. Usually, people recommend at least watching the Heisei Generations trilogy. Gaim x Drive's was decent. Revice x Geats is... Weird. And so on. You never know what you will get with winter movies.

>>23378408
Every Reiwa show has been a massive disappointment.

>>23378427
Mega Max remains the absolute best crossover movie. Full Throttle is a close second.

>>23378246
Black Sun is absolute garbage m8

>>23378427
>>23378423
>Ryuki, Faiz, and Kabuto
cont. A yeah, Ryuki's was decent, but Faiz's summer movie is a must-watch. It had better final fights than the actual show. Blade's is an interesting alternate ending.

>>23378431
Maybe if you have the taste of a child. For the rest of us it was great.

>>23378431
>>23378438
Why do both of you type like faggots?

>>23378406
It really depends on the season since each producer handles things differently but imo all of W's side content are great. What seasons have you watched so that one could be more specific?

>>23378427
I see, thanks anons. Guess I'll watch some more of them soon then. So far, I've only watched the movies for W, Drive, and Geats out of the ones you all mentioned.
>>23378445
>What seasons have you watched so that one could be more specific?
Most of them pretty much. It's just that I can never be bothered to watch the movies most of the time. Even with seasons I really liked, like Ryuki or Blade, I never got around to watching the movies. I can't really explain why either.

>>23378455

>>23378473
Personally the ones I've liked
>555's Hyper Battle is hilarious
>Blade's summer movie isn't amazing but it's basically an apology/redemption for Leangle being such a faggot, he's insanely likeable in this
>Hibiki's summer movie tries to do too much but the concepts are great
>Kabuto's AU Summer movie is pretty great
>Den-O's summer movie serves as setup for Climax form, but the show pretty much spoils the plot
>All of W's side stuff is good, his crossover with Decade served as the true ending for that show. Fuuto PI Anime in particular is quite great
>Fourze's summer movie and crossovers are great, specially Mega Max
>I thought Duke's and Zangetsu's V-Cinemas were great, iirc they were written but the guy who did Demonbane
>I haven't watched Drive's and Ghost's side content since I haven't been able to coordinate a time where I could watch it with my friends, I've only seen the Specter V-Cinema which I thought was amazing. From my understanding their Summer Movies are really great, in Ghost's particular case it apparently helps with world-building?
>The "Generations" movies from Ex-Aid to Zero-One are all really great, Reiwa First Generation is in particular amazing
>Ex-Aid's summer movie and Snipe's miniseries are pretty good. The Gorider mini-series is amazing though
>Build's ROGUE miniseries is an entertaining edgefest
>I didn't like Zi-O's summer movie but it does have a lot of fanservice. Shinobi's Rider Time makes you wish the show was real. The Ryuki and Decade Rider Times are trainwrecks but kind of entertaining too
>RealxTime is amazing, under no circumstances watch the V-Cinemas
>Super Hero Senki is fine. Trio of Deep Sin is a really great movie but doesn't feel like Kamen Rider
Haven't watched any of the Showa movies besides the ones that are standalone and ZX. But Kamen Rider Spirits is unironically one of the best Manga I've ever read, hopefully it sticks the landing.

>>23378503
>how do we appeal to ((((normies))))

>>23378478
So is this the supposed guy based on the leak or a placeholder actor?

>>23378506
It's Maito Fujioka, son of Hiroshi Fujioka

>>23378467
His fashion sense is like an edgier version of Touma's.

>>23378515
>black suit and white dress shirt with no tie is edgy now
Enough nonsensical babble

>>23378484
Are you really unaware of Japanese rap?
tbf Zeztz's rap isn't the type of Japanese rap I like but I don't instantly think of niggers, don't let people live rent free in your head

>>23378513
Well they are leaning pretty hard into Showa references, so maybe

>>23378513
oh my fucking god the lips and hair match

>>23378522
Quick, search how much english does he know

>>23378522
his laugh lines are more harsh though

>>23378480
Just going purely off of vibes but it also kind of reminds me of Fukasawa Hideyuki (most likely known for Street Fighter 4 and 5) but off of this short of a teaser it's really hard to say.

That fakeout was cheeky.

Also if this is actually Zeztz, then he's giving me Ace vibes

>>23378525
His lips are differently pursed and they might be airbrushed out. But it's teh same weird one-way swoosh on the hair, prominently pink lips, and round jaw. Lens can also warp things, however, so we'd need a clearer look.

>>23378483
>The slow clenching of fists
Unless this is a Ghost situation, this guy is not a happy-go-lucky hero of justice.

>>23378513
I hope it isn't him because he already played a toku protagonist in Wingman

>>23378490
>>23378485
I see the whipped soldier comparison but that really doesn't look like a Jawa. Is there any picture of Technolom's "Greninja"

>>23378480
Doesn't really sound like him sadly, reminds me of Yuuki Hayashi, but I don't think it's him either

>>23378527
Sick fucking ring

>>23378455
>>23378458
He's really reminding me of Ace, was hoping for something closer to BoukenBlue or Lupin since Ace wasn't too long ago

How dare people like popular things (that are popular exactly because lots of people like it).
You're just acting like a sad contrarian.

They hired the most generic looking japanese guy so nobody can predict who he is.

It could also just be a random model or JAE staffer to keep the identity secret. The show's been filmed and at this point probably in the upper 10s, maybe even 20s if they're really efficient with it, so whoever it is has been set for like a year, there's probably a guy besides Color who knows and is just opting to not say.

Is Zeztz just going to be Ace 2.0?

>>23378560
Sadly yes. But no god complex or Keiwa to yank around this time, so hopefully he's less annoying.

>>23378547
So the side forms are all simple repaints of the base form? Ok.

>>23378455
>>23378458
I really hope the rest of the Soundtrack is better, if not this might be the worst OST in the franchise. If they wanted a rap/edm ost why couldn't they get Taku Iwasaki again? Or someone like Taisei Iwasaki
