How was Zeztz's 8th case?

>unavailable for your country
>but is available for LatAm for some fucking reason

>>23591001
I have a feeling that with Nox finally unveiling his Knight Arms, this will end with Agent Seven's first mission failure.

>>23591004
Must be a pretty obscure country if you can't watch it absolutely anywhere. Might just be a country that uses a seperate thing then Youtube or a different Youtube channel to Tokushoutsu.

5 episodes into Zeztz, this character is like the worst aspects of Akiko, Rinko and Akari rolled into one.

>>23591008
it's SEA and live screeing is available for putos for some fucking reason

>>23591004
someone is doing a rip every week on nyaa for future preservation.
The way stream sucks in quality for youtube, for some reason even in 1080p, I will just wait for the rip or end up paying the subscription.

I swear that SEA has some way to watch it simulcast

I don't, I also have hopes that you kill yourself.

There'd a lot of Rina pictures on the web, why did you post the same pic as the post above?

>>23591037
Yeah seems like some kind of sport thing is preempting SHT next week as is usual around this time of year.

>>23591039
Because I didn't scroll to the bottom of the thread when I made my post. It was literally a coincidence, even more so because the other post with that pic is a reply to one of my posts.

Tsukuyomi's flashback on Girls Remix.

Shizuka and Wataru got married it seems

Fujioka's Daughter is the new rider

>>23591103
He needed to pop out his son somehow. Now who does Ryotaro get to get her with.

Standalone picture.

>>23591013
>WAH I HATE THE PARANORMAL DIVISION
Jesus fuck no one is forcing her to work there, like what's the point of this character aside from complaining and making the other detective look stupid when he's the only actual cast member to actively help Baku irl.

>>23591114

Was kind of hoping it'd be worn crossbody like the Zeztz Driver, but this is certainly a choice too.

>>23591114
>>23591126
Was kind of hoping it'd be worn crossbody like the Zeztz Driver, but having her be more Showa-inspired is certainly a choice.

>>23591121
Why are they pretending they bought a bike for this?

>>23591131
Fujimi DOES have a problem of jumping to conclusions quickly and getting things wrong. add his general obsession with the Black Cases and what happened with his partner,which might or might not be Nox and you have a good reason as to why she is against working in that dept.

but, despite that, she has seen situations and incidents that involve abnormal phenomena that just cannot be explained in any conceivable way via legit methods, not to mention she now works in a magical extradimensional spy office hidden in some randos bedroom as a base. even if neither she nor Fujimi have seen a nightmare face to face, she KNOWS THEY EXIST.

I hope they don't write off Minami calling EMS as a joke next ep.

>>23591013
I think she's funny

>>23591170
>Fujimi DOES have a problem of jumping to conclusions quickly and getting things wrong.
Her nagging would be excusable if she actually guided him to get closer to the truth, but she just says "I told you so" without actually contributing anything herself.

Rinne chan curves...

>>23591170
Yeah I definitely don't blame her getting annoyed by Fujimi, but I do wish Takahashi didn't really treat them as a joke. Like Fujimi could be a really cool police support type character like Ichijo was and we don't really need Nasuka getting annoyed every moment she breathes. Frankly, considering Baku ends up solving these cases through dreams and his sister's connections, the department just feel incredibly useless. I am glad that they didn't pull a Fuwa and actually had Fujimi and Baku working together off the bat.

He wasn't.

>>23591281
Still waiting for its plot to pick into high gear with its equivalent of the Ex-Aid Christmas episode.

With that one recent anime being lots of fun, I'm tempted to pick up a Kamen Rider show. Do I just pick up Kuuga? Or try to finish the original? I've only seen bits of the original, Kabuto, and the one with the various techy kingdoms.
I think Kuuga's generally the most praised and recommended, while I was impressed with the first few episodes of the original show save for the practical effects as well as the somewhat repetitive monsters.
I'd prefer no silly colours or toy gimmicks, but mooks dancing or standing politely in the background as the hero finishes transforming is adorable and permissible. I'd greatly prefer practical effects over CGI, but the silly string in the first show was a bit rough and maybe minimal CGI is fine. Supporting non-rider characters pulling their weight and giving it their all is a major plus, as is a dramatic entry of a second rider.

>>23591291
Kuuga is good, but don't expect every other show to be like it. W is the actual best entry-level show if you wanna get a feel of what the franchise is generally like, just bear with the CGI which is present in every Heisei and Reiwa show.

Or watch Black if you want a more digestible Showa show, the OG might be too old and long for you to get into it just yet.

>>23591291
>no silly colours or toy gimmicks
>I'd greatly prefer practical effects over CGI

>>23591291
>Supporting non-rider characters pulling their weight and giving it their all is a major plus, as is a dramatic entry of a second rider
Kuuga has the former, but not the latter (Secondary Riders are a thing in every subsequent show though, but some debut earlier than others). It also has a bit of CGI.

>>23591291
>I'd prefer no silly colours or toy gimmicks
If you want to get into this franchise you'll have to accept the fact that it's a childrens' franchise made to sell toys to toddlers, get used to it, and maybe even learn to appreciate it. The only entries that don't have these things are the grimdark reboots for adults, which are generally not very good.

>>23591291
>I'd prefer no silly colours or toy gimmicks
Away! Away!

>>23591291
Given those criteria, you should be good with Heisei Phase 1, at least up to Kabuto. Most shows if you stop before Ex-Aid, really.

>>23591291
Stick with the first Heisei era sans Hibiki (Kuuga to Decade.) Though anon you need to keep in mind that Kamen Rider majority exists to sell toys to children and collectors, while also being a very good drama on the side. The toys are the show's beating heart, and every Heisei onward series has some kind of CGI in it. You either have to just get over it or see the appeal.

>>23591295
I think I was put off by the asymmetry, but I'll try to give it a fair chance if it's a good entry-level show. I've literally never heard of Kamen Rider Black, thank you. I only know V3 exists, and that Amazon and Kuuga are highly praised. I mean, I enjoyed the original Ultraman show, so I definitely wouldn't mind Showa at all. Kabuto was fine as well, I think I just got busy.
>>23591301
It's not absolutely necessary for there to be a rider 2, I just think that everyone needs a friend.
>>23591308
>get used to it, and maybe even learn to appreciate it.
The bits I've seen of Gaim (I forgot to mention Gaim somehow) was actually fun. I think I was at the point where the ridiculous dancing or whatever bit started to taper off and things were getting precarious. I'm being partly mean but I probably will genuinely appreciate a lot of the colourful cheery baby shows, but I will go into it grumpy unless I'm promised that it'll be good.
>>23591298
>>23591310
It is way too silly!!! The shows should be trying to market toys for grown-ups like me instead.
>sentai has 5-6 very blatant children's show colours and a big combining robot but it's fine
Wait, why the fuck do I not mind sentai as much? This isn't fair to Kamen Rider. Am I just expecting something more serious because he's all alone?

Out of all the possible Gotchard spinoffs that could revive the Dark Sisters, the Rinne focused one is such a copout

>>23591317
>>23591324
If he doesn't like toy gimmicks, why would you even entertain his post?
You can only stomach like 3 shows with that criteria

Toku collectors are TRANS!??!?!?

Also, person question but do you guys buy the toys? How are they?
>>23591317
Ok so that's around the Decade/W mark. Except W was recommended, Gaim was alright, and Fourze was highly recommended (it was cheering people up after a miserable earthquake?). But yeah, I'm looking at Ex-Aid and everything after, and I'm getting a bit worried. Geatz and Zeztz still look like they kill people. Is Zeztz any good so far?
>>23591324
Alright, I'll try to see the appeal. I was intensely hesitant on Gaim's absurdly silly and overly colourful gimmick, but it turned out that the different fruit movesets were fun and appreciable.
>>23591328
I'm willing to learn and accept the toyposting, I will just be initially impatient with it. I was just really impressed with the original show's start, where a few episodes in they immediately presented a genuine problem for his transformation belt, and it didn't feel like it was telling me to buy his (very) cool belt or anything.

>>23591291
Being toyetic with over the top colors are what gives /m/ stuff their own identity, personality, spirit and courage.

>>23591333
I've bought a couple figures but no drivers or anything. The drivers always win that year's toy awards in Japan though.
Also I'd say that a vast majority of the seasons are able to write the toys into the world in a very believable way that doesn't just feel like "buy the new toy." Like it's exciting when the hero gets a new power up.

>>23591291
Go back, this franchise isn't for you

>>23591325
W's asymmetrical design is the point and it's used for one of the best explored set of form changes in the franchise. I think that's part of why W is recommended as a great starter series, it's a strong series all-around and importantly it does very well to highlight something that makes Kamen Rider unique in the focus on form changing.
Also if you don't like them being so explicitly toyetic I'd say W is less noticeable since the jingles are short.

The jingles themselves you can really get behind if you just think of them in a different way. They aren't outside the context of Japanese media, they just are a different method of doing something. Like in a Shounen series, where a character might announce their super form and shout their attacks? Modern toku has the device do that, for the most part.

Kamen Rider is a slightly older target demographic than Sentai so they do tend to be a little more serious and have some slightly more complex themes.

>>23591334
GaoGaiGar is so fucking cool

>>23591284
>its equivalent of the Ex-Aid Christmas episode.
Who would get Kiriya'd and Jin'd if or when it ends up happening?

>>23591347
Nasuka

>>23591333
I would skip Decade personally. It has a few decent episodes like the Black/RX two-parter but it's mostly multiverse bullshit where the worlds he visits are nothing like the season they're based on because they were never gonna get most of the actors back so they just decided to get weird with the "alternate" Earths. W/OOO/Fourze are all quite good though.

Geats has nice aesthetics, (it's the only Reiwa show I feel the suits are closer to Showa/ early Heisei and not too overdesigned) but the plot is kind of a mix of Ryuki and Kabuto again but worse. I couldn't tell you about Zeztz yet, I prefer to wait til a season is over then catch up.

Are we getting a DX Code Zeroider or are we just not getting a figure-compatible bike toy?

>>23591325
>I probably will genuinely appreciate a lot of the colourful cheery baby shows
Bear in mind that all Rider shows have at least a bit of edge in them, courtesy of Japan not babying its children nearly as much as America does. Even Gotchard, which is considered by many to be the most "infantile" Rider show so far, has moments like a character being forced to watch his parents get killed in front of him (twice), a villain forcing a bunch of people to kill each other just to torture his student, and permanent major character deaths, among other things.

>>23591361
>a character being forced to watch his parents get killed in front of him (twice)
More like at least twice. It's implied Glion has the Angel Malgam continue their deaths over and over even after the scene cuts away

>>23591334
Ok that's fair, I don't know why I'm expecting toylessness for Kamen Rider.
>>23591337
The drivers are that good? And alright, that's fair. The little cars as well as the fruits were acceptable and exciting.
>>23591338
I'll learn to like it, I'm sure.
>>23591342
Alright, I'll keep W in mind as a good intro to Kamen Rider, especially the ones nowadays. And I wouldn't have even have thought that W had any toys apart from different-coloured halves of guys to fit together. And I'll keep that in mind for the jingles as well, although it's still a bit funny to hear them overlapping with one another.
>>23591350
I thought Decade was a big anniversary thing that was homaging the older shows? I would have thought that after watching the prior shows, that Decade would be a treat.
And alright, I might pick up a showa show and start with W and keep OOO, Fourze, and Ryuki in mind.
>>23591361
I mean, Japan's been doing that since the 60s and possibly before. I do appreciate that they don't really beat around the bush with real and permanent consequences and sometimes miserable and pointless tragedies.

>>23591369
Nah, watch Decade it's good enough.

>>23591369
Decade *is* an anniversary season, but that really only manifests in shallowly bringing back the suits and powers, the things Toei has easy access to.

Now granted, the character of Decade/Tsukasa is a lot of fun and the crossover movies do allow him to interact with the REAL riders instead of bastardized variants. The show itself is just largely a disappointment and honestly the ways the choices they made in depicting the "AR Worlds" are just very bizarre. Also the season was cut short and the finale movie doesn't satisfyingly resolve much about the season's own plot and characters.

(Except, again, for when he visits KR Black and Black RX because they actually did just get the actor back and play it straight for once.)

>>23591346
>GaoGaiGar
/m/e/m/e question: what are the Rider equivalents of Genesic GaoGaiGar and the Goldion Crusher?

>>23591372
I think I vaguely recall hearing about an old old villain being glad to see his Rider again, but this could have been literally any crossover movie. Getting to see your past favourite riders sounds a treat enough
>>23591371
Hm..

>>23591348
But the death is supposed to be a gut punch, not a cause for applause.

>>23591378
If you're going to watch the crossover movies, the three riders I'd suggest you need to know the most about are Ichigo, Black, and Faiz because they're the ones that come back the most.

I wonder if the Nip kids get annoyed at the amount of native English that comes out of Zero's mouth. Even with subtitles, I imagine it'd be hard to catch

>>23591381
It has to be OG Rider One, and I get W, but Faiz seems a bit unusual, with its big-ol' eyes.

>>23591385
Faiz's helmet takes some getting used to, yeah, but from the neck down it's one of my favorite suits.

It's also a very drama-heavy season, it's more the kind of thing you get into for the characters.

The photoshoot of Nene with Nashiko and Hinami got an official digital release https://bisweb.jp/fashion/168400

>>23591386
I get that, the later Rider in the trenchcoat looked cool as well. And that's fine, I'm here for the story.
What about fighting choreography though, are any notably great, or do they consistently deliver? I don't think I've felt any shows I saw were weak in that regard.

Episode 5 preview.

>>23591394
I mean...the martial arts sequences in Rider don't get particularly fancy until the 2010s. Before that it's a lot of very serviceable but stock punching and kicking before whipping out the finishing moves.

People often say Wizard has the best fight scenes, but is also one of the lamest shows for plot and characters so it's a real monkey's paw.

>>23591369
NTA but Decade is best watched after you've gone through the 9 previous Heisei shows. Yeah, it involves AUs, but those AUs are reinterpretations of the shows (and their movies in some cases) and feature references and nice little details you might miss if you aren't familiar with the original shows.

Similarly, Zi-O is best watched after having gone through all the other Heisei shows, it doesn't involve AUs but for that very same reason you'll end up getting spoiled on certain important developments from the previous shows.

The Double Gavv moment.

>>23591404
>NTA but Decade is best watched after you've gone through the 9 previous Heisei shows
At least the 9 previous Heisei entries, it also features references to Showa series like the OG, X, Amazon, Stronger, Black and Black RX.

>>23591399
Oh. I mean, I already thought things were pretty neat, but I guess it's because I can't do any of that shit.
>a trade-off for the best fights and the worst story and characters
I don't know if combat can carry that, man.
>>23591404
>>23591407
And yeah, I thought it'd be the most rewarding after being well-acquainted with all the shows it was directly referencing. It's such a treat seeing or revisiting something and noticing that they added something like, unironically "that tiny item or endearing monster from episode 41 that only I liked"
And I have no idea what's going on with Zi-O, but it looks like it references Decade among other things. So I'll make a note of not picking it up randomly.
>>23591407
>I'm rewarded for watching Showa as well
Tempted to finish one Showa and one Heisei show (Black and W, Amazon as well because it's short?) and then just go by production order, unless the original series is going to kill me. I'm fine with episodic shows, but I swear it had something like snakeman in episode 3 and then snakemummy or batsnake man in episode 7.

>>23591394
>What about fighting choreography though, are any notably great, or do they consistently deliver?
The action in Heisei and Showa was for the most part okay, Showa had the sloppiest action but it also featured some extremely dangerous stunts that wouldn't be possible today due to modern safety regulations. Out of the Heisei shows, the ones that stand out for their consistently great action scenes are Agito, Kabuto, Kiva, Fourze and Wizard.

Reiwa in general was a step up in terms of the choreography and overall action directing, it got brand new action directors that began storyboarding all the action scenes in a much more meticulous way, whereas in the past they just winged it on set when it came to certain parts. All Reiwa shows have generally great action, though Gotchard was seen as a bit of a step down compared to the others since it had one of the older action directors and it kinda shows, but it still had plenty of good action scenes. Geats and Gavv have an action director who's known for his over the top anime-esque action sequences (though he also has some scenes that make great use of props and the overall environment similar to Jackie Chan's flicks) while Zero-One, Revice, Saber and Zeztz have a director whose fights are a little more subdued and put more focus on the suit actors' moves.

>>23591419
>And I have no idea what's going on with Zi-O
Zi-O is the last show of the Heisei era and the one that celebrates its 20th anniversary, it's an anniversary show in the same vein as Decade except it involves time travel instead of alternate universes. It has its own ongoing story but the majority of its arcs are tied to and sometimes even centered around one of the 19 previous Heisei shows, and they feature at least one returning character from each show as well.

>>23591432
Also, Decade himself is recurring enough to qualify as one of Zi-O's supporting cast.

Minato motherfucker, you already ruined gotchard, now you do it again for Zeztz too?

New to this.
I began watching Kamen Rider blade, and now I'm wondering how often is the card gimmick used on these shows?
I know that most of them are stand alone but I feel like Blade wasn't the best KR show to begin with.

>>23591485
Blade is good. There are three riders in Heisei that uses cards, Ryuki, Blade, and Decade. One in Reiwa, Gotchard.

>>23591013
Since Fujimi is the first Nightmare case after Baku, I thought they're gonna explore Nasuka's Nightmare after like how Wizard dealt Rinko and Shunpei, but they just went with guest of the two weeks.

New to this.
I began watching Kamen Rider Revice, and now I'm wondering how often is the toy gimmick used on these shows?
I know that most of them are stand alone but I feel like Revice wasn't the best KR show to begin with

>>23591493
>used the same mechanism like zeztz
>not called kamen rider
?????

>>23591506
Revice is indeed not the best one to start with, and every modern show has toys that're inserted into the belt transforming device somehow.

>>23591508
Maybe they're taking the name to be literal since I doubt Nox will have a bike.

>>23591485
I started with Blade, and I think it's a great starting point if you can stick with it.

Pretty much every Heisei series starting with Ryuki has a gimmick, whether it's cards, toy cars, or usb sticks. They gotta sell toys somehow. Even the shows that use cards all use different cards in a different way, so Blade is still completely standalone. As long as you know how a standard deck of playing cards works, you know enough to watch Blade.

>>23591493
Clever. I almost fell for it that time.

>>23591506
I think it'd be easier to name when the toy gimmick isn't used in the show. It's not very often, is what I'm saying.

>>23591508
Do not question Bandai's classification system.
More seriously, it seems like Nox is only making a skewed approximation of Zeztz's powers/abilities. They haven't even officially used the term "Kamen Rider" in-series, so we won't know what the actual distinction will be until they release some notes.

>>23591519
The idea they're toying around with now is Nox's dreams being predetermined, and him assuming this applies to everyone else

>>23591513
Yezz won't have one either and he's a Rider.

>>23591485
>>23591506

>>23591508
Yezz doesn't even have bug eyes

>>23591542
That's not Yezz, it's just Nox's temporary transformed state. We're not seeing Yezz until January. Or at least next month if it gets leaked ahead of time like Nox.

If he's acknowledging this as a mystery it means he plans to answer it, unlike with Gotchard where he seemed to add stuff to the show that seemed like building up mysteries, but actually that was it, and the staff had no intention to focus on them more than that.

>>23591936
Man, I forgot how aggressive Kiva's fighting style was.

>>23591943
What's funny is that they brought in Decade to save the show but it only made it worse.

>>23591943
I just finished this shit this morning. I don't understand the story. I hate the ending. It's better than Decade but that isn't an accomplishment. Time travel is so hard to get right but so easy to get wrong and they got it so wrong. I don't even think they knew what they wanted to do with the show. The alternate history plots of the first half versus the sequel plots of the second is so jarring.

>>23591960
What's wrong with the ending?

>>23591974
NTA but a show ending with a literal reset of the timeline back to the start of the series is just inherently bad, nobody likes "And it was all a dream"

>>23591976
Forgot to add; the show just prior to it ended with a world reset but atleast there were consequences, until the fuck ass v-cinemas. There's 0 punishment for Sougo resetting the world. Hell even now in the post show content, even with his memory wiped he still gets to be GrandZi-O despite "unmerging" the world.

>>23591976
It wasn't a dream, Sougo altered the timeline to ensure the events that took place before could'net be repeated. The important part that once becoming Oma-Zio, Sougo still had the humanity to give up on his kingdom and relinquish his power.

>>23591960
The erased history plots from the first half were an idea from the main director (Ryuta Tasaki), not the writers, and it's clear the writers didn't know what to do with it.

There was supposed to be an explanation for changing from the erasure plots to team up plots in the Quiz arc, but the director of that arc (
Satoshi Morota) removed the scene that was supposed to explain things because he considered it pointless exposition that dragged the pacing down.

Overall though, just like Decade, it was a Shirakura crossover series, and Shirakura intrinsically believes crossovers don't make sense, so story consistency is never a priority when he's the main producer of crossovers.

>>23591865
Kids were scared of the likes of Rider #1 because they looked like kaijin. Kids would be scared of Zeztz because he looks like a westoid faggot gimp suit so I guess they figure there's a child molester wearing it. They wouldn't have had a problem if it were Gavv or Gotchard etc.

VampiReiyo!

>>23592079
Not sure how kids exactly are reacting in general but if they are finding Zeztz to look frightening I think it would be a combination of the facial structure and darker colors.
Most Riders have more rounded eyes so that even if they're meant to look ready to fight they still can come across as soft and friendly. Of the ones who do have more distinct sharp eyes they have a design that uses more bright colors so they still clearly give off that hero look. Zeztz has a design that you could plausibly give a Dark Rider.

>>23592094
Zeztz’s face looks like it was meant to appeal to Americans. It has that “American Kirby is Hardcore” feel.

>>23591941
Heaviest Main Rider suit too

>>23592126
Decade's suit was heavier, and that statement is definitely out of date now.

>>23592126
Kiva actually wasn't even the heaviest of phase 1 Heisei, the Decade suit for instance was heavier. The main issue was how poorly balanced it was and probably also how Takaiwa had to be lurching over for the choreography.
I think it also might have had serious issues due to the chest piece being solid which made it less flexible.

>>23592110
It's been outright confirmed the design is based on Western superheroes.

>>23592153
>>23592110
It's not his eyes I have trouble getting used to, it's the weird puffy muscley look, he almost looks squishy

>>23592156
If you squint, Zeztz really resembles those discount "toku" skins they've sometimes thrown into capeshit games

>>23592153
Oh yeah, I forgot that detail. That’s also why the suit looks pretty muscular.

Now that you mention it it does kinda have that vibe, especially after seeing >>23592205
Not that I mind personally since Spidey is one of the only Western capes I actually like.

>>23592228
It always amazes me how the directly "toku-inspired" suits in these games always look less toku than the regular suits.

>>23592238
It really makes you think in what kind of shows did these people even watch (probably none, they just go on pure vines alone)

>>23592238
Yeah they do kinda have that 'How to Draw Anime' look where they're trying to mimic it without really understanding the style. The one I posted looks more like an anime suit than it does toku too.

>>23592248
Vibes, I meant vibes.
but no seriously, did they all think that toku starts and ends with Ultraman, and only ultraman?

>>23592250
They also might reference Zyuranger specifically.

>>23592250
>>23592248
What do you think? Power Rangers obviously.

>>23592228
>>23592238
>toku inspired
>no fucking transformation devices

>>23592258
Always one of the biggest issues with western "toku" designs

>>23592228
>>23592238
For me, it's Aaron Aikman.

>>23592258
>>23592259
I mean, how would you want to without it just being a rip off to Kamen Rider, let alone you know full well we won't see a rider-inspired pose for Spiderman that's not the Toei original.

>>23592263
It would fit with Spider-Man's whole deal if he had a wrist-mounted driver

>>23592263
my nigga already homaged Super-1

>>23592249
It's easy to tell when there's a lack of understanding but I do have to wonder what specifically a Western designer would implement to make something look more toku-inspired. For some of the more subtle stuff I've noticed
>more independent armor pieces
I think that the main reason to do this is to cover for different body shapes between the face and suit actor? Specifically having something covering the chest and shoulders.
>minimal skintight features
Western heroes' have spandex that emphasizes the physique since they were inspired by carnival strong men but I feel like toku they find that for immersion that trying to display the suit actor's musculature would be more of a hindrance. Also because doing stunt work in skintight latex is way more inconvenient.
>expressive helmet
I think toku helmets carry on a heavy influence from Noh masks, in that they often have one face but are meant to portray multiple expressions just by angling it. Western cape heroes usually show their faces or are drawn with eyes that change shape to display expression which usually aren't something toku series have the luxury of.
>a design motif that can plausibly look shared across multiple characters
Something like Ultraman's chest crystals or Rider's teardrops, or like the Sentai eye shapes which can be repeated on different entries but usually are different for each team member within a single entry. Since toku swaps out their cast they tend to have visual language that is shared across multiple heroes. Western heroes don't usually have to do this, not even something like Green Lantern where it would be appropriate, so I think it's just completely out of the artists' thought process.

>>23592264
guess what? he did

>>23592263
>>23592266
Looks more like a reference to Spider-Armor MK I

>>23592271
That's what I what implying i.e. Toei Spider-Man's changer.

>>23592268
>expressive helmet

Besides Iron Man and Dr Fate I can't even think of a single American capeshit who even wears a full helmet, despite the fact it would be sensible to. I think these two worlds just can't cross adequately, at least not to a pre-existing or legacy hero.

>>23592283
Can't be real, unless Toei started using AI.

>>23592283
Juuga-san...

>>23592276
That's sort of a point I'm making. Oftentimes a toku-inspired design will throw on a helmet which doesn't necessarily feel very toku and usually it's because the general shapes are made for action shots but don't really have the look like they could do performance of lower-tension scenes.
Apparently there was a recent Batman toku-inspired book and it showcases what I'm saying. They gave the suit a helmet but it looks extremely aggressive, the eyes are very tiny and the concept art hasn't angled the helmet to show how it might be used to look calm, confident, determined, sad, etc.
To compare to a suit like Gavv's where very slight differences in the way the actor holds his head can make the eyes look like different expressions, because the eyes are large and given a default expression that is more neutral.
It isn't something every helmet in toku does but I do think it's something that makes a design feel more Japanese, and it's derived from traditional Japanese theater.

>>23592283
>Written by Yuya Takahashi and directed by Koichi Sakamoto

>>23592294
I think that design is quite hideous but I'm going to assume the helmet is supposed to look perpetually scary / intimidating because Batman has to be scary at all times, they didn't care about a neutral helmet to read emotions off of

>>23592228
>>23592294
I feel like capeshit "Toku" suits feel muddled because they're often trying to emulate Rider, Sentai and Ultraman all at once instead of just sticking to a single reference.

>>23592294
Toku Batman is just Batman Beyond.

>>23592268
>>23592294
Excellent assessment. To be fair it makes sense, since so many native toku designs draw from Japanese culture/mythology as much as Western draws from European and the like. It's still sad to see so many Western designers stopping at copying Rider and Sentai (rarely even Ultra and Metal Heroes) and not digging deeper the way they would with a costume based on modern fashion or the like.

>>23592305
That's why Stronger is the best

>>23592305
So you think Ghost and Drive have the same design language?

>>23592275
I saw so much hype around Demons before I watched Revice and it turns out he's a pathetic jobber from his first appearance, """dies""" a couple episodes later, and then the suit gets passed around like a cheap whore no one wants to stay with for more than a night until it finally gets thrown out. What a pathetic rider/character/show. If he wasn't a red and blue spider rider no one would care.

>>23592315
People loved Hiromi because of how he started. Kinoshita hated that people loved him and purposefully ruined the character.

>>23592314
No, but we can all pinpoint the general characteristics of a Rider design (big compound eyes, antennae, forehead jewel, crusher mouth, belt, slightly more armor than the standard Ranger or Ultra) even if not all Rider suits have all the hallmarks present in Ichigou's suit.

>>23592276
Bloodsport is cool. And I appreciate that he wore the helmet quite a bit. Peacemaker pretty much ditch his helmet 90% of the time in second season.

>>23592314
NTA but yeah they do. The majority of Riders do. Prominently armored chest that emulate musculature (pecs, abs, or both), "bare" thighs, large eye-approximations sitting on an enclosed helmet and belts that lead the eye towards the dead center (usually via a circular, rotating point).

They're all the same LANGUAGE, same as how all of these sentences in this post, and in your post, are the same language but are all composed differently following the rules of the language. When the language is muddled, you end up with designs like Zeztz which IS reminiscent of an Ultraman because its design language leans in that direction.

What's the point in being a schizo over a show that people dislike?

I hate normalfags so fuckin much.
The interest on the Spider-Man Toku rip-off recently got acknowledged in the comics, he gets recruited to fight an army of Venoms and then the non-binary canonical gay Spider-Man makes a new suit for him, that is apparently "tokusatsu inspired" but be honest guys, removing the obvious Kamen Rider scarf would you actually think of Tokusatsu if you looked at that suit?

>>23592315
>it turns out he's a pathetic jobber from his first appearance
He won multiple fights after that.
>the suit gets passed around like a cheap whore
Is Revice your first rider?
>If he wasn't a red and blue spider rider no one would care.
Nobody gives a fuck about the spider part. Demons was popular because the belt is fun, Hiromi and Kaiba

>>23592329
Has a wrist device, better then most.

>>23592328
Because he secretly loves the show and hopes by being an autistic fag about hating it people will have a contrarian overreaction and join him in liking it.

>>23592334
That's from the original design

>>23592311

>>23592252
>If you don't fucking like it, you can get the fuck out of my fucking restaurant, you fucking stupid nigger!

>>23592338
So it's a reverent design that gets it.

>>23592315
People initially liked Hiromi because he was a straight forward hero of justice and a wholesome underdog that risked his life to save others on top of havinh the coolest suit and belt in the show, people weren't aware of how much he would get wanted and shat on later on.

Outside factors also played a part into why so many people were hyped about him. After Demons' debut, Hiromi's actor recalled how he has attended the Ishinomori Manga Museum's grand opening as a child and got to shake Handa with Hiroshi Fukuoka himself, which inspired him to pursue a career in acting and try to land a role in Kamen Rider multiple times. Around that time, Kinoshita also revealed that Hiromi was initially intended to die in the first episode, but he changed his mind and decided to make him Demon when he witnesses the actor's performance at the auditions. So it kinda looked like he was "destined" to become a Kamen Rider.

there really isn't, especially considering she's the one who had a crush, not the other way around

It's really nice that they're just putting the new episodes, already subtitled, on youtube.
I'd only watched W before, but the ease of access has me tuning in for fresh Zeztz every week.
Also VISIONS is really fucking good as an opening, "give me the SHOCK TO THE HEART" never fails to get me hyped.
No thesis or point here, just wanted to share my feelings.

Unrelated request: I showed my young nephew some clips of Showa-era rider and he agrees that it is "sick" and showed a lot of enthusiasm to see more.
I have a complicated question regarding this. He's definitely mature enough to handle the darker themes presented, but immature enough to not be self-conscious about liking the dumb cheesy action scenes (rest assured, this is not an insult.) I don't want to deprive him of that joy, but the language barrier is a problem, seeing as he's not quite a good enough reader to keep up with subtitles yet.
I have two solutions in mind:
>the HK dub of Wizard
>find the most action-y series and verbally provide context/one-man-live-dub for what's going on in the plot

Which path would you recommend?

>>23591775
Random film production worker here (no affiliation with KR tho, if only);
More than likely, it's because the fall still had enough force to risk the Capsem popping out as he hit the floor. Had other rider toys behave similarly in my own playing around previously. Alternatively, could be that they didn't want to risk damaging the internals for similar reasons. Dunno if they have a limited number of those that Bandai's willing to hand off as props or not, but just knowing how things get about loaned props here would make me assume they'd be even more tight assed about it.
Safer/easier to deal with if it's just the prop driver, even if it does risk looking a bit worse.
Don't have this driver yet because poor + bills + americuck, but given the placement in the center, I don't imagine that it's locked in SUPER securely. Someone else may be able to better test.

>>23592631
If the HK dub is anything like the one Fourze got in I think Singapore, I'd stick with subs and just explain the parts he doesn't understand after watching.

>>23592633
>Dunno if they have a limited number of those that Bandai's willing to hand off as props or not
The props are Toei's, they're not using the DX toys. The DX Zeztz Driver looks minuscule on adults

Ya you mean the SEA English dub, right? HK dubs are in cantonese

>>23592638
Ah, all the more reason for them to not risk fucking one up on a mishap

>>23592642
Could have, sure. Like, there's for sure ways to do it, if they really wanted to. Hence why I added the other risk assumptions.
They used that stand-in for a reason, whatever it may be, so I'm assuming damage is most likely

>>23592644

The full episode.

By this time last year we had learned about Gavv’s Q2 toys

>>23592294
Late to this, but that's the same conclusion I arrived at. There's a lot of talk about how Japanese people are cold and don't express much, but tokusatsu suits and body language are more expressive and convey more character than the thousandth scene where a western hero screams really loud. That's not to say western heroes are all bad, but their strengths are not the strengths of toku, and a lot of these designs don't understand the design philosophy.
The "toku-inspired" suits in the Spiderman games don't look good, because they don't know what they're trying to do.
Oftentimes it feels like they did a cursory google search on tokusatsu, blended everything in their head with their childhood memories of Power Rangers, and called it a day.
>>23592329
Something like this suit is still very clearly a Spiderman suit, and the toku inspiration is the out of place scarf and the spider bracelet from the Toei series. I can tell it's a nod to the tokusatsu Spidey, but the suit design does not reflect that, and gluing a scarf to him does not fix the design. It just yells at you "GET IT? TOKUSATSU", when that should be immediately understood just from looking at it.
Ironically, Zeztz got that right. Even people that haven't kept up with interviews and materials that explicitly say they made it western-inspired will look at it and instantly get the westernized feel, even without having to watch the show and notice the western tilt it has.

A lot of Japanese media focuses on subtle details despite how overt everything else is, and I get the feeling a lot of western folks will only look at the "WOW JAPAN SO CRAZY" aspect since the 80s and not notice the subtleties that are responsible for that working.
It stands to reason that when they try to copy it, it feels lacking.

>>23592294
>>23592263
>>23592228
>>23592238
I feel like they don’t take into account that it’s supposed to be an actual suit made on a budget. They look too over-designed and unpractical for long term filming.

>>23592329
This just looks out of place. He’s supposed to be a Showa era toku hero so give him something that fits the aesthetic of that era.

Can someone enlighten me on how Kamen Rider continuity is supposed to work? I get that the original show until Black RX is just meant to be one universe, that Kuuga until at least Decade are meant to several different realities and that some movies/show are deliberately alternate reality versions of previous Riders. But then there's shit like that one scene in Fourze that implied the Riders who explicitly didn't exist in the same world in Decade exist in the world of Fourze, so... What do I make of that?

>>23593152
Pretty much all the post Decade stuff is in a shared universe, but it's like Sentai where each show is essentially in its own bubble until a crossover happens.

>>23593152
Sometimes they're in a shared universe. Sometimes they're not. Just go with it and dont think too hard

>>23593152
ZO and J had a crossover special.

Agito has some ties to Kuuga but they decided to make it its own thing early into production. From there on out every show was completely standalone, certain shows had movies that took place in alternate universes like 555's and Blade's, and there were no crossovers until Den-O, which featured a cameo from Kiva in one of its canon movies.

All the Worlds featured in Decade with the exception of Den-O's are explicitly Alternate Realities, they're basically reimaginings of the original shows' stories featuring characters that are similar to the ones in the shows and their names but not the same, their names and actors are different for the most part. Even the characters played by the original actors are A.U. versions, not the originals.

From W onwards every single mainline show (as well as the 90s movie trio of Shin, ZO and J) with the exception of Decade (which was about traveling to alternate realities) and Build (which is explicitly shown to take place in an alternate world, but fuses into the shared mainline world at the end) is treated as taking place in the same world, and we get constant crossovers between them. Also nearly all the movies and side material from this point on are canon to the shows.

Zi-O, the crossover show that celebrates the 20th anniversary of Heisei Rider, later explained that each Heisei show used to take place in its own universe until the moment when the protagonist first manifested his powers as a child (which coincidentally lines up with the year W aired) and they all began merging together as a result. The worlds separate at the end of the show, but they re-merge in the crossover movie with Zero-One, and from that point on everything takes place in the same universe again.

>>23593205 cont.
Reboots and reimaginings like The First/The Next, Amazons and Black Sun take place in their own universes (though that doesn't stop them from being referenced in mainline works). Some novels and manga are alternate retellings of the shows and thus are separate from the mainline continuity as well.

>>23593144
I'm pretty sure this is what triggered Daishinji-san's AGP.

>>23593152
It doesn't matter
Shirakura (thankfully) also separated everything again

>>23593217
>separated everything again
That's just shit from Zi-O that went nowhere. We've literally just had a new Girls Remix and Baku showing up at the end of Gavv before that. Shirakura is too busy fucking Sentai on Gozyuger with nepobaby Inoue.

>>23593226
He will come back to separate everything again after Gozyu

>>23591423
Showa having the sloppiest action is honestly a bit surprising and disappointing, but it's encouraging that quite a few Heisei ones that stand out in that regard.

Female Rider suits really peaked with Sabela. God that's a good one.

how come reiyo became the best actress among the main three girls remix riders

>>23591411
She really wanted to kiss that Valvarusher.

>>23593291
>I love me some time travel, a bonus if they somehow change things for the better, although I wouldn't be surprised or disappointed if nothing about the past really gets changed.
Zi-O's villains are constantly trying to fuck with the timeline, so it's more in the vein of the heroes trying to preserve it by undoing those changes. There are a couple of moments set in the present where returning side characters manage to succeed at something they failed to do back during their original shows, and one instance where a show's bittersweet ending gets a happier follow up, but the latter gets undone.

>>23593308
who's even the "main three"?

>>23593322
What a bunch of whores.

Is Rinne that popular?

>>23593332
It's simply because she's currently the latest female Rider because Gavv didn't have any.

>>23593318
>trying to preserve it, even fated deaths
Oh, sweet misery
>they achieve little things but you're not always able to solve all bad endings, and this neither feels forced nor cruel, since you can narratively still appreciate tragedy and loss
Ok this sounds like a good show, just one that relies on you being familiar with the previous ones.

It's only a matter of time till Akiko gets a Lost Driver and a Skull repaint.

>Girls Remix actively saying you shouldn't glorify being a Kamen Rider cause that shit comes with suffering
Wow, based as shit from Uchida

>>23593357
That's the point with Daybreak before Hasegawa fucked with it

>>23593339
>Ok this sounds like a good show
Eh, it's not many people's favorite, it had a pretty sloppy production which led to it being quite inconsistent just like Decade (which was made by the same producer as this show, a man who has rather peculiar ideas about how crossovers should be handled). What I said about the happier follow up to a show's bittersweet ending being undone is much more underwhelming than you think it is, it only happens implicitly due to another event that takes place much later on in the show, and nobody in the show reflects about the consequences of that.

What people really liked was the fanservice when it came to some of its tributes to past shows, but not all tribute arcs were made equal, and the early ones especially are just tangentially related to the shows and the returning characters don't get to do much partly due to a time mechanic related to the monsters that fortunately gets dropped later on. It's still a decent, entertaining show, but don't expect it to be too deep or well thought out (there are dilemmas about undoing the deaths of people in the past though, but they're mostly focused on weekly characters rather than returning ones). Its movies get very meta though, just like Decade's.

>>23593369
I had no idea the royale sauce made your balls swell like that.

>>23593357
That was why Tackle wasn't a rider way back when Stronger was airing.

>>23593217
>>23593226
Reiwa First Generation immediately undoes the worlds being separated and then at the end it after everything is seemingly fixed it never mentions them being split. Even Geiz Majesty right afterwards still had everyone in the same world.

You won't get the worlds split again unless Shirakura becomes highly involved with another anniversary project.

>>23593332
I don't think her actress is getting any work soon after that performance in Gotchard so she's probably extremely easy to get back

>>23593379
>I don't think her actress is getting any work soon
Cope, she's getting more roles than Sakura and Hana did after Revice.

so how exactly does Decade "destroy" a world?

>>23593379
>I don't think
yeah I know

>>23593384
Those two performances weren't good either Ei.

>>23593369
What a nice pair of Capsems he got there.

>>23593379
You couldn't be more wrong lmao.

>>23593379
Modeling is a work too.

>>23593365
Ok so it's not a normal production issue, the guy's just always like that?
>it's implied and no one cares
Ok never mind.
>you get tributes of varying quality and weight
Ok I'm just going to consider it as a cute little bonus after seeing all the relevant shows, this sounds progressively underwhelming to the point where the show just seems "whelming". And uh, what is it normally like, for a Kamen Rider show to get meta

https://nyaa.si/view/2036181

>>23593390
idek what's going on. I'm just happy she's doing good.

>>23593390
well you're asking about any work after Gotchard, not about how good those are

>>23593402
>And uh, what is it normally like, for a Kamen Rider show to get meta
Decade has a plot point about how the Rider's Worlds are doomed to disappear because people are forgetting about the Riders' battles, indirectly telling the audience that we must keep our memories of them alive. Zi-O's movies go way harder on the meta aspect and have stuff like a villain attempting to erase the entire history of the Heisei Riders which ends up creating something akin to the real world, a world where Kamen Rider is just a multimedia franchise, and there's another movie where we see stuff like an official manga book and an irl promotional poster literally come to life.

Saber's show also gets a bit indirectly meta with some of its themes and plot points (it's a show about stories), as well as some videos that the production requested the audience to send for a scene, and an official Twitter account gimmick where a certain character gets to share his personal thoughts with us. But where it gets most meta is in its anniversary crossover movie with Zenkaiger (both the movie and that Sentai show were produced by the same guy who produced Decade and Zi-O), which gets Zi-O movie levels of meta or arguably higher.

Geats' summer movie also has segments where a certain character directly addresses the audience and asks us to pray to the MC so he can gain a power-up. The show also has an arc about reality TV where they recreate those typical scenes where an actor sits in a dark room to share his thoughts while staring at the camera.

>>23593378
Shirakura should've work in Ultraman since every series despite connected takes place on its own Earth.

>Sentai Anniversaries (before Zenkaiger)
Super Sentai is cool and will always be there to protect us!
>Ultraman Anniversaries
Ultraman is cool and will always be there to protect us!
>Kamen Rider Anniversaries
This Rider has the power to destroy everything. His main power source and goal is to cannibalize previous riders.

>>23593459
Ok that sounds legitimately insane and hilarious for Zi-O.
>SPEAKING DIRECTLY TO THE VIEWER, BEGGING THEM TO CHEER THE HEROES ON
Ok I don't care if this gimmick is confined only to children's shows, this would be a children's show I would still watch.

Damn, all of you are idiots. Wataru didn’t sleep with a teenager. Literally, in Girl Remix, Shizuka only refers to herself as his caretaker and says that Wataru is away with his child.

>>23593509
Probably Ei pussing out. She points out her ring in the intro

>>23593523
This is as retarded as those to scale Utraman line ups.

>>23593522
What's the real translation of her line tho?

>>23593509
She took care of Wataru alright

Pretty sure this is Uchida not wanting to step on Inoue's toes by confirming it and making it 100% canon.

>>23593523
>the last one's fuck-huge spike counts as a part of his height
So you're telling me that I can increase double my height with the simple purchase of multiple hats?

>>23593539
>>23593539
However, Rina Koike said in the audio commentary with the producers that Shizuka could be Masao's mother, although they don't say it directly in the film. She's Masao's mother. And the importance of that ring. I don't have the exact translation, but it's more or less that. I don't know if anyone here has the audio commentary.

Ofcourse he's top tier
he's as dead as this gacha will be in the next year

Gonna watch Agito soon but wondering if after that there's anything else in phase 1 worth watching before I move onto phase 2 stuff.

To note: So far I've seen Kuuga, Ryuki, Faiz, Blade and Kabuto

>>23593928
if you don't care much about the story, Den-O is a good watch, theres a reason people don't have much of a problem when the Imagins come back every other year or so

>>23593928
Den-o

>>23593934
I keep getting recommended Den-O. Maybe I should watch it but with the early Heisei stuff I've been enjoying the series with a big focus on story and characters more since they stuck with me more.

>>23593523
Damn, I didn't know Faiz was such a manlet

>>23593928
Skip all the heiseislop and watch reiwa, its much better

>Halloween Girls was a better watch than this week’s Zeztz
I wonder if MinatoP misses Uchida yet

>>23593889
I was thinking that Zeztz was being really slow with the form reveals but it is about normal for Q1. I think the fact that it's technically four main forms with sub-forms that's throwing me.

>>23593928
I've watched all and the only Phase 1 for me that was a bit lackluster is Decade. Granted it's Decade and it only has 31 episodes. The rest of Phase 1 is great to amazing.
