[organizedcrime]

I saw it the other day on ANN, don't know about it though.

[Cerias]

hmm...never heard of it , wots is it?

[DrunkenYoshimaster]

Kamen Rider is a pretty tight live action series in Japan. Its been going on since the 70's I think. they do a different series each year. In a way its similar to sentai/power rangers only alot more adult. Last year I watched KR 555 and Blade, or dled them subbed rather from www.tvnihon.com or their IRC channel rather. Id reccomend both series highly. the more episodes you watch the more addictive it gets. Havent seen the one they have this year though except for its previews.

I also liked Gransazers.
oh and theres a kamen rider manga based off of the old series at www.snoopycool.com

The original 10 series and their movies or so followed the same timeline. So all the old KRs came to know one another and had scarfs. Then there were some movies made in the 80s and 90s, and a couple shows like Kamen Rider Black, and KR Black RX or something. Ive only seen one of the movies, forget the name but it reminded me alot of the terminator.


Also saw the Agito movie raw, it was pretty good though I havent seen the series. And I saw the 555 movie too, still need to dl the blade movie.

[Personal Jesus]

Dude, I grew up with Kamen Rider Black and RX. I'd kill to revisit those episodes. ;_;

[narutofan1010]

These are the lyrics to the first kamen rider series
Drawing near: Shocker, the Army of Hell
Aiming for us: a black shadow.
To protect the peace of the World:
Go! Go! Let's go, Shining Machine.

Rider (Jump!) Rider (Kick!)

Drawing near: Shocker, the Army of Demons
Aiming for our friends: a black shadow.
To protect the peace of the World:

To protect the peace of the World:

[OtacontheOtaku]

The live action series was actually pretty good, but like most Japanese shows in the 70s it was pretty low budget (cough cough Ultraman cough cough). Anyway, I prefer the manga since the main character is so much cooler XD.

[Haku_Taker]

I started with Kamen Rider Black here. Now I'm wathcing Kamen Rider Ryuki and Kamen Rider 555.

[dspr8_rugged]

Kamen Rider Black was like ages ago, that I don't remember any much of it now.

My interest for Kamen Riders revived when I saw Kamen Rider Ryuki, and it further intensified when I saw Kamen Rider 555. For some reason now, I prefer the third generation Kamen Rider series than the old ones. I guess the uber-cool Rider gadgets was a reason. :amuse

Right now, I'm trying to watch three at the same time - 555, Blade and Kabuto. So far, it's been one enjoyable ride.

Oh yes, looking forward on seeing the 2007 series, Den-O. :)

[Chatulio]

Correct me if im wrong but didnt they have a dubbed version in the states called Masked rider or some such?

[Haku_Taker]

Correct me if im wrong but didnt they have a dubbed version in the states called Masked rider or some such?

yeah. That was Saban's bastardized version of Kamen Rider Black RX. There will be an American version of Ryuki called Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. But it will not be a ruined version of Ryuki because the Wang Brothers will be the directors. There will be a good but balanced story nd choreography. And of course, Steve Wang is a Kamen Rider fan. Adness Entertainment will mke this one, not Saban. Maybe it will shown on Sci-Fi.

If Shotaro Ishinomori is alive today and realize that the guys who are behind the American adaptation of Kamen Rider Ryuki is a fan of his great creation that is, Kamen Rider, maybe he'll be proud of Steve Wang. Maybe the Wang brothers will become an example of how to make a Americanized but a successful tokusatsu series.

And maybe they'll put Saban (Shuki Levi and Haim Saban) and 4Kids to shame. I'll give this a chance. I jhave high expectations on this one...:)

[Mojim]

So they're also airing the show in the US :omg
I used to watched them when I was 6-7 y/o :amuse

[Nico]

I have seen some of it on You Tube not completely to know the series well. Interesting enough though. :amuse

[B.M.F.]

I had the toy of one of them, but I didn't know what is was till recently.

[dspr8_rugged]

Is Masked Rider Dragon Knight already being shown? I mean, by the way you're saying it, Haku, it may seem that you either know the staff behind it, or you have seen it for yourself. It's rather hard to take your words considering that most of it are in the future tense. :P

I've been reading some stuff about the new one this year, Kamen Rider Den-O, and I find it funny that the titular Kamen Rider is considered to be the "weakest Kamen Rider to date". I mean, looking at the trailers, we are looking at a pretty young Kamen Rider. Not to mention that he looks so lame when he says "Henshin!". :laugh

[Haku_Taker]

So they're also airing the show in the US :omg
I used to watched them when I was 6-7 y/o :amuse

No. The American version of Ryuki will be aired this or next year.

dspr8_rugged: nope. maybe next month or next year 2008, according to their website. I saw the website, the trailer, and who are the staff. There are three Japanese executive producers and the directors are the brothers Steve and Mike Wang.

[Marguerite Perrin]

Yeah! One of the best shows ever! I used to watch it when I was atleast 6-8 :nod

[Mojim]

No. The American version of Ryuki will be aired this or next year.

Oh i see :)

If the American version,are they going to change everything from the original?

[Haku_Taker]

Oh i see :)

If the American version,are they going to change everything from the original?

maybe just the story. they'll gonna copy the mirror world, the advent cards, and some kinds of stuff.

[Mojim]

^ whatever they going to do,hopefully they wont do major changes to the show :sweat

[Kamen_Raida]

Hmmmmm.... Kamen Rider? What is this Kamen Rider, you folks here seem to be speaking of? I most assuredly have not heard of this so-called 'Kamen Rider'. Nay, thou shalt not take into account that my account name is apparently that which I wish to know of, for it would mean that I would indeed have knowledge of this 'Kamen Rider', of which I am quite unconvincingly stressing, I have no knowledge of. I mean, I have absolutely no knowledge of this franchise's creator, Ishinomori Shoutarou (oooooooooooooooops), nor do I possess the knowledge that the franchise has been a part of Japanese media for around 35 years! Nope, absolutely no knowledge!

BTW, I do enjoy indulging in sarcasm :P

Hmm, regardless, I do have to say that my Kamen Rider, though agrreeably quite enjoyable, has had the unfortunate curse of being quite lacking in plot. Honestly, out of the 19 Rider series presented so far, I only find 2 to have noteworthy plots (those two being Ryuuki, and Agito). I'd count Black and Faiz in the equation, but Black just tended to be far too formualic, and the method in which Faiz carried out its story just ruined it for me......

As for the new Rider of 2007, which premieres this Sunday t'would seem, can't really say I'm looking forward to it. Seems to gimmicky for my tastes.... And I've had enough of gimmicks after that awful excuse of a story, Kabuto. That, and I find the whole 'Super Train' concept to Sentai-ish for my tastes...... not that I know anything of Sentai, of course

[Yakuza]

hauhauhauhauhau
i use to watch it 10 years ago....hauhauhau
IT ROX!

[dspr8_rugged]

I actually enjoyed Ryuki too, since, as I said, it revived my Kamen Rider funk I had a years ago with Black. I actually like Faiz because of the character driven plot (not to mention that it was the inspiration for me so that I can buy a new phone. :P).

As for Kabuto, well, I'm just halfway. Although I can safely say that I enjoy watching it, minus Tendou's annoying and over-acting sister and his uber-arrogant behavior.

Well, as for Den-O, I'm still going to check it out. The premise seems kinda lame, though who knows, this may work out.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v224/dspr8_rugged/Kabuto-Rider-Kick-small.gif

[Haku_Taker]

Kamen_Raida: C'mon man, I love Kamen Rider Faiz because of the interesting plot, in my opinion. It has a series of shocking events. I also love the Rider gadgets in there, especially on Faiz and Kaixa. Also to Psyga and Orga in the movie Kamen Rider 555: Paradise Lost. Well, that's just me.

And hey, is that Caucasus???

dspr8: I agree on you, Kamen Rider 555 has a character driven plot (Takumi's having a struggle because he's an Orphenoch and afraid he might lose his humanity is an example).

I also love Kabuto, because of the styles and of the Riders. My favs are Kabuto Gatack, Drake, and Caucasus (from the movie Kamen Rider Kabuto: Godspeed Love). I have my taste in the story plot of Kabuto because it's so... mysterious. Tendou can be uber-arrogant, but he's also cool and philisophical although (even raising his right hand upwards in the sky, I even imitate it).

Haha, I'll save that one!!!

[dspr8_rugged]

I'm actually watching Episode 24 right now. Well, I agree with you when you said that the plot was rather mysterious. ZECT's hiding a lot of stuff, really. And I'm waiting to see Kagami's reaction when he finds out that his dad is running things at ZECT without him knowing.

Can I also save that???:P

I also love the Clock Up and the Hyper Clock Up system in Kabuto. What's so special in the Hyper Clock Up is that ur not only faster than the speed of light or whatever is that there is a time lag: u can alter time and can time travel. Cool, huh?:nod

[dspr8_rugged]

I said to you before that I made a lot of Kamen Rider GIFs, remember? I will be posting some more later. :P

I have a feeling that the inspiration for Kabuto's "Clock-up" system is Faiz's Accel Form. :amuse

[Kamen_Raida]

Haku_Taker: Bleh, Faiz was absolute rubbish with its charachters in my opinion. While I can't think up any specific reasons why I beleive this so at the moment (heavily attributed to the fact that I haven't watched that piece of crap in awhile), I can say that what I simply felt either indifference or dislike to the charachters. They were, quite simply, 'stock charachters'. And they hardly had any form of developement. If there was one charachter whom I'd take out of the equation, it'd probably be Kiba. Now THERE was someone I could like. Of course, where charachter fails, story should succeed. Unfortunately for Faiz, while its storyline as a whole was good, it still had not resolved things in a befitting manner.

And yup, that is Mr. 'Ogon no Raida', whom I have to say, met a rather.... anticlimatic end.

Hmmmm, just cause I feel bored for the moment, I suppose I might as well list out which my favourite NG Rider series are.

Ryuuki(1): Yes, rather strange choice for my favourite NG series, I must say. A pretty mediocre plot (with a highly disappointing ending) and some rather good charachter developement. Honestly, Agito WOULD be taking Number 1 spot, but where Agito has the best storyline of any Rider series thus far, it lacked charachter developement. Ryuuki, as of yet, is the only Rider series which I see as having an excellent balance of both. Its ending did, however, suck horribly.

Agito(2): As already stated, I found it to have the best storyline of any Rider series thus far. An excellent mystery story. Shame that the concept of storyline for the Rider series seems to erode as each year passes. An even bigger shame is as to how lacking in charachter developement Agito seemed to be (though to be sure, it wasn't completely devoid of it, unlike some others) Nonetheless, its storyline certainly made up for it.

Hibiki(3):..........Yes, I know....... WTF........ I was quite suprised that I enjoyed the damn thing too........ Bloody storyless piece of crap that it was...... But, if Agito is the God of Storyline in the franchise, then Hibiki is its God of Charachter Developement. I mean, I could almost literally say that the bloody thing was made entirely of charachter developement. Shame that storyline took a backseat from it, but goddamnit, the charachters were just wonderful! And I am the only one who at all likes Hibiki's costume design!?

Blade(4): Alright, I'll be honest. 4 doesn't really look like a good number to place Blade in. Its not that I hated it..... Its just that I liked others more..... But, though I didn't necessarily hate it, I still considered most of the charachters 'stock charachters', and like Faiz, it really needed to resolve things more.

Kuuga(5): ......I can't really say anything about this...... It had..... no eal charachter developement...... no real story...... It was...... yeah....... I do love the sense of realism in it though..... It was just.... yeah

Faiz(6): You've heard my reasons..... Thus, I ain't givin' more....

Kabuto(7):.....This is..... undobutedly...... THE WORST....... 'show' I've seen in the last year....... Absolutely dreadful! AWFUL CHARACHTER DEVELOPEMENT! AWFUL STORYLINE! And a whole boiling cauldron of WASTED POTENTIAL! The fact that the show was so gimmick-reliant was what murdered it! Half of its so-called 'mysteries' were resolved in a shoddy manner, and we get introduced to useless Riders whose very purpose within the series was to sell toys for Bandai...... Urgh, I could rant on the horror that is Kabuto for pages, but my fingers will tire out before I do so, and I perfer them nice and well..... I will give one bit of credit though..... It gave birth to a suprisingly addictive PS2 game.....

[cold drinks]

i've only watched ryuki and blade.man i like those days and the memories....

[dspr8_rugged]

As far as the third-gen Kamen Rider series is concerned, I've only finished Ryuki. I'm currently watching 555, Blade and Kabuto and I've yet to finish either of them.

I can't say that I agree with what Kamen_Raida said with those three, although I do agree with what you said about Ryuki. Yup, the series ending was rather bad, although I haven't seen the "real ending" movie... :amuse

Here's something totally random I saw on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44gQDzPFTOM). You don't have to understand Japanese to get it, all you need to do is look at Tendou's face.

"Grandmother said this, 'Tendou, stop being a bitch and eat the damn thing already!'" :lmao

[Kamen_Raida]

Well, from what I've gathered, you seem to be only half-way through the series. Admittedly, I suppose the first half wasn't completely awful.... Just be prepared for the worst later..... A most horrid weapon looms its head at somewhere around Episode 37..... Its very purpose is trivial.... and.... well.... I should think you'll see what I mean as you go through the series

[dspr8_rugged]

That sounds like a warning to me... :P

Yes, I'm basically half-way. Episode 25 to be exact. Well, I just want to see it for myself, your so-called "awful" parts of Kabuto. Who knows, I may find myself liking it... or not. :amuse

[Mojim]

@Kamen Raida: A true fan! :laugh

[Perfect Moron]

So, the first episode of Den-O aired. Here's the raw, if anyone wants it: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GH5MM0BL.

I'm interested on hearing the thoughts of rider fans on it, since this is my first time watching Kamen Rider. I always wanted to watch Kabuto, but never got around to doing it. It seems to me that this series in particular is a lot more kiddy-like, kinda like super sentai. Which is not necessarily a bad thing.

[Haku_Taker]

Kamen_Raida: wow, I can't believe it. Kabuto is the worst show in ur opinion??? Although it's worse, I like and enjoy it. What i like is the Hyper Kabuto thing 'appearance'; many fans believed that was Tendou from the future. Mysterious, isn't it? Well, we have different tastes anyway, and I respect you're opinion. Worst yet kick-ass, if ya ask me. They've done a "back-to-basics" style. Anyway again, I enjoy it.

I love the Hyper Battle video of Kabuto where Arata Kagami henshins into Gatack then he has his own Hyper Zecter then he became Hyper Gatack!:nuts

On Hibiki: yeah it was controversial because there are some changes in the staff. Some said it was one of the worst because it became another Faiz (Takahashi Inoue is the new writer). But it became the best in some because it's the God of Character Development (as u say) and has the best cast EVER(maybe) in a Kamen Rider show. It really presented character development that many past shows (even the classic Kamen Rider Black) failed to do. My favs are Kamen Riders (referred as Oni) Hibiki, Danki, and some Riders having guitars.:P And there is some kid that many fans call him "Kusaka Jr.":P

I also love the Hyper Battle video on Asumu, when he henshins into an Oni.

On Faiz: U explain to me about the letdowns of Faiz especially on the characters (Masato is an asshole!), and again I respect ur opinion. But for me, it has one of the best Kamen Rider movies and that is Kamen Rider 555: Paradise Lost. Cool fight scenes, good alternate story, and Psyga and Orga are the reasons why I love it.:)

On Blade: I know it has flaws. although it has 'stock characters', it has an interesting story and the Mutsuki a.k.a. Kamen Rider Leangle arc. The monsters, called the Undead, were great because not all of them are evil (including an Undead who is a pacifist who taught Mutsuki how to realize his own power and to conquer his fear) some are good guys because the fight for the right to exist. Although Aikawa Hajime a.k.a. Kamen Rider Chalice is an Undead. And it became one of the most memorable Kamen Rider series in my opinion, because it has one of the best but the saddest ending in a Kamen Rider show (Kenzaki Kazuma a.k.a. Kamen Rider Blade sacrificed his own humanity so Aikawa can live as a human).

[dspr8_rugged]

I actually stopped watching Kabuto for a while, since I was able to get my hands on all episodes of Faiz. Oh yes, I so agree, Haku, Masato is such an asshole. Good thing he died early in Paradise Lost. :P

Now I think that Kabuto's "gimmicks" were for the sake of this so-called "all Kamen Rider culmination series because it's our 35th anniversary for crying out loud". Apparently, aside from the obvious, Kabuto has made references with the other Kamen Rider series with regards to the series layout, characters, Rider System, and story. As I said, I haven't finished the damn thing yet so I can't say if this so-called "gimmick" affected the series as a whole.

Okay, out of curiousity, I am going to check out the RAW for the pilot episode of Den-O. The OP is rather catchy... I mean the song, not the sequence.

Perfect Moron, it's a common misconception that Kamen Rider is sentai, but it's not. Since you said that Den-O's your first watched Kamen Rider series, I highly suggest that you watch the older ones, or just the third-generation series.

[Perfect Moron]

^ Yeah, I know. That's not what I said. I meant that not having watched any previous KR, I found Den-O to be more childish than I expected a Kamen Rider series to be, more along the lines of a super sentai series (which I know it's not).

So, which KR do you reccomend? I never got into Kabuto, but it looks good. However, I keep hearing everywhere it only starts good but then begins to suck. In fact, from what I heard, it seems each one of the new gen series has something that keeps it from being great. I usually only download ongoing series, otherwise, I find it hard to stay motivated to keep watching, unless its something extremely good. What about the older KRs?

[dspr8_rugged]

Ah, I see.

Most, if not all, Kamen Rider series was "supposedly" aimed for children, although I don't think that's the case, considering there is portrayal of violence and people dying. :P

I just finished watching Episode 1 of Den-O.

Obviously, it's rather hard to understand what's going on since it's raw. :sweat

As far as I can see, the OP sequence for Den-O was a little perky for a standard Kamen Rider OP with some "Rider dancing" at the end, but as I said earlier, I find the song (Climax Jump) catchy. And the protagonist, Ryotaro Nogami is the total opposite of Souji Tendou, i.e., he is a total wuss. This series featured the lamest "Henshin!" ever! :P

And I think we're going to see another "base of operations" for this series (e.g., Bistro La Salle in Kabuto, the Kikuchi Laundromat in 555...), namely, the "Milk Dipper". Just a hunch.

Well, I hope a sub by TV-Nihon comes out soon...

Edit: I forgot that you are asking for Kamen Rider recommendations, Perfect Moron. Try Kamen Rider Ryuki or Kamen Rider 555. I can recommend those two with confidence. :)

[Haku_Taker]

To be honest, I also like Ryuki. My credit to it is that it brought back my interest in Kamen Rider. But the ending sucked because Shinji died and everybody are back to the real world w/o knowing each other and starting to build new lives. Because of that, there is a TV special called 13 Riders Special where there is a appearance of the first female Kamen Rider in history, Kamen Rider Femme. Instead of Shinji died, Ren died and Shinji did destroy the master mirror. He thought that it was over, but he's wrong. He still saw some Rider in the Mirror World. Then after that, the movie.

Here is a fanart, where every Gundam and Kamen Rider fan should love.

[dspr8_rugged]

You know what sucks, Haku? I haven't seen the "13 Riders Special" and the movie! :doh

I was only able to watch Ryuki during its Studio 23 marathon/re-run. That's why I'm planning to re-watch the damn thing after I finish Kabuto (I'm at Episode 31 now...).

And please, use spoiler tags when saying something about the plot. Perfect Moron and the other Kamen Rider newbies are really going to get spoiled, y'know? :amuse

Haha, I forgot. I'll do it anyway. I don't just notice that there are newbies here...

Just a trivia from Wiki: in the Philippine dub of any Kamen Rider show, the call to transform into a Kamen Rider is not "Henshin" but "Rider Change". It started in Kamen Rider Black and because of its popularity, it became the henshin call will be used in any Kamen Rider show.

Hey, I also like the OP of Kamen Rider Den-O, Climax Jump by AAA. Hehe, why did ya call it henshin seqeunce is the lamest ever??? And Ryotaro Nogami is the opposite of Tendou???

[dspr8_rugged]

"Rider Change!" definitely sounds better than "Palit anyo!" or "Transform!". :P

[Haku_Taker]

"Rider Change!" definitely sounds better than "Palit anyo!" or "Transform!". :P

correct about that. When Kabuto airs here:

Rider Change!

*puts the Zecter and...*

Zecter Announcement: RIDER CHANGE

[dspr8_rugged]

Now I wonder when will that be... although I could have finished it even before it airs here.

And you're forgetting that the local networks may also show Blade and Hibiki...

[Haku_Taker]

And you're forgetting that the local networks may also show Blade and Hibiki...

Well, I'm not forgetting about it. I know that the local networks may also show Blade and Hibiki. So Kabuto maybe in 2010.:P

[dspr8_rugged]

Well, that is if GMA starts showing Blade the week after Faiz ends in March... :amuse

[Haku_Taker]

Well, that is if GMA starts showing Blade the week after Faiz ends in March... :amuse

GMA has gotten Blade???

And anyway, anyone should give Kamen Rider Den-O b'coz I have a sense that there is some kind of a good character development in there. Ryotaro is a coward at first, but with the help of his Imagins, I know he'll a strong and a brave guy...

[dspr8_rugged]

There is no news that GMA does have Blade, but we can hope that GMA will do show Blade in the future. :amuse

Well, I'm not keeping my hopes up for Den-O yet, but we do have a totally different protagonist. Ryotaro isn't the one who kicks monster ass, but the Imagin that possesses his body. Maybe in some episode, he does the ass-kicking himself - in Den-O's Plat Form. :P

And what sucks even more is that the final episode of Kabuto ISN'T SUBBED YET! :yell

Edit: I just finished watching Kabuto's Hyper Battle Video. LOL at talking Zecters and Kagami. :lmao

Nothing beats Faiz's Hyper Battle Video... dancing Orphenochs FTW!

[dspr8_rugged]

Haha, yeah! But what i love the most is Hyper Battle Video of Kabuto where Kagami has his own Hyper Zecter and he became Hyper Gatack.:nuts
...and how Kagami desperately tries to imitate Tendou. :lmao

"The man who looks at the mirror and washes his face everyday..." - definitely lamer than "The man who walks the path of heaven, and will be the ruler of all". :P

[Haku_Taker]

does anyone try to watch Kamen Rider Hibiki?

[dspr8_rugged]

Me? No. Not yet.

I'm targeting Blade after Kabuto, not to mention that I'd like to rewatch Ryuki. :amuse

I've finished 46 episodes of Kabuto, and I think I'm starting to understand what Kamen_Raida was saying before about the downside of the series. :oh

[Deranged]

Kamen Rider, I remember this... i used to watch the Masked Rider when i was young but it never really took off for me until i saw some lifesize armour replicas for Kamen Rider Kabuto which were just absolutely amazing and made my mouth water... since then ive been meaning to watch as much of the Kamen Rider series as i can get my hands on... itll happen... eventually (hopefully during the half term i have next week XD)

[dspr8_rugged]

Yeah, I do hope so, Deranged. :amuse

So that it's not just me and Haku_Taker who are posting in this thread... :P

[Kamen_Raida]

I've finished 46 episodes of Kabuto, and I think I'm starting to understand what Kamen_Raida was saying before about the downside of the series. :oh

I'm a man that loves to brag, so just to keep things normal: Told You so :P

Hmmm, either ways, I just watched the first two episodes of Den-O, and as of yet..... I have no idea what to say...... I really, really have no idea what to think of the damn thing....

Well, best to start of with the main charachter.......... That man should shut the hell up. He just sounds damn annoying... Seriously.... I've to say that the guy sounds exactly like Hanatarou (from Bleach, if you kids don't know)...... Heck, the guy's characteristics are exactly like Hanatarou's! One reason already to hate the bastard! Oh, but wait! A little bit of inner strength I see! Hmmmm, well, this could end up leading to the one thing we all love:

Charachter Developement :nuts

OR

Ryoutarou continues his road into the 'Hall Of Whine-tards' :mad

Honestly, if Ryoutarou follows the latter, I wouldn't mind at all if someone should, say, accidentally push him in front of a passing DenLiner..... Speaking of that CG abomination.... well..... from the way I've just described it, I'm pretty sure I need not go into anymore elaboration? :amuse

Den-Ou's suit just looks fugly, in my opinion. It just looks too friggin clunky, although I must say that the suit actor really does a good job in potraying how Momotaros would move in the suit..... Speaking of that red bugger............. WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING DANCING IN THE OPENING CREDITS!? OH MY FRIGGIN BUDDHA, THAT WAS JUST SCARY!!!!!!!!

As for the soundtrack? Well, I suppose the opening sounds alright. The chorus is annoying as hell though..... The Full Version actually sounds way better than the TV version, though! As for the insert songs..... Well, the jazz they play during the fight scenes certainly gives a nice atmosphere.

And, wow now, seems they're gonna be using an Ending Theme instead of a Battle Theme this time. I, for one, am glad of this news. I much perfer hearing 'Ending Themes' rather than 'Battle Themes'. 'Aozora Ni Naru' and 'Shounen Yo' were way better than any Battle Theme pulled out by the New Gens. I'm having high hopes for the quality of this Ending Theme.

[Haku_Taker]

I'm a man that loves to brag, so just to keep things normal: Told You so :P

Hmmm, either ways, I just watched the first two episodes of Den-O, and as of yet..... I have no idea what to say...... I really, really have no idea what to think of the damn thing....

Well, best to start of with the main charachter.......... That man should shut the hell up. He just sounds damn annoying... Seriously.... I've to say that the guy sounds exactly like Hanatarou (from Bleach, if you kids don't know)...... Heck, the guy's characteristics are exactly like Hanatarou's! One reason already to hate the bastard! Oh, but wait! A little bit of inner strength I see! Hmmmm, well, this could end up leading to the one thing we all love:

Charachter Developement :nuts

OR

Ryoutarou continues his road into the 'Hall Of Whine-tards' :mad

Honestly, if Ryoutarou follows the latter, I wouldn't mind at all if someone should, say, accidentally push him in front of a passing DenLiner..... Speaking of that CG abomination.... well..... from the way I've just described it, I'm pretty sure I need not go into anymore elaboration? :amuse

Den-Ou's suit just looks fugly, in my opinion. It just looks too friggin clunky, although I must say that the suit actor really does a good job in potraying how Momotaros would move in the suit.....

if i were u, maybe u should give Den-o a chance. I'm starting to love it, ehehe.

Maybe I suggest that u must look on my views on the New Gen Kamen Rider shows.:amuse And I found out that Kamen Rider Hibiki has the best cast in Kamen Rider history.:) And I also love the ending theme, "Shounen Yo". I also love the opening theme, too.

[dspr8_rugged]

I'm a man that loves to brag, so just to keep things normal: Told You so :P
But regardless of which, I still found the show amusing after 49 episodes. Amusing, but definitely not the best KR series.
Well, best to start of with the main charachter..........
Honestly, seeing a wimp for a protagonist Rider is definitely a change from last year's egoistic, arrogant and Granny-quoting Tendou, which I don't mind really.

And besides, that's the show's premise...
Den-Ou's suit just looks fugly, in my opinion.
For starters, the Plat Form is really ugly. :laugh

Scary? I find that funny, actually. Dancing Momotaros FTW! :amuse

The full version of Climax Jump is definitely better since it's obviously longer than the TV version. :P

I actually stumbled into this Kamen Rider blog (http://igadevil.blogspot.com), and I actually find some of the author's articles funny, especially when he "role-plays" certain characters. Love his latest article "State of the Yaguruma Address". :lmao

[Deranged]

Alright... saw the first two episodes of Den-O and the first four of Kabuto and my first impressions was, Kabuto kicks a helluva more ass XD

I don't like Ryoutarou that much... he's seems very whiney and just generally annoying, compared the the arrogant prick that was Tendou, he just doesn't have the cool to make up for his shortcomings in my opinion.

Kabuto seriously won alot of points for me with the Clock Up. It was just awesome and while Den-O has some fine points as well, the Denliner and all that seemed very very random to me :S His sword form's hiastsu attack being the better part of everything.

Well, if it's anything, from off the bat, Den-O is a little more heart warming... but then again I've barely seen the whole thing yet so best not to make assumptions XD

*downloads more Kabuto*

Ryotarou being whiney and annoying just reminds me of Shinn Asuka of GSD.:P But he's different from Shinn because he's a cowardly wuss, hehe. But I sense that there will be good character development because he'll be a strong and confident guy w/ the help of his Imagins.:)

Yeah, hopefully his character will get some good developing... when i say hopefully, i mean it better :mad Its kind of disheartening that the first thing to happen after henshin is to start running away in fear (although a hillarious scene, shook my faith a bit D: ) At the moment, I'm more interested in whatever other imagins he could get as the red ones okay at the moment but hasnt got that much going for him besides doing the badass evil look every so often :oh

Definitely. Without a doubt. :)

Although maybe it's just me, but the show's plot breaks down at the 30's until the end. Regardless of which, as I said earlier, Kabuto (the show I mean), is one amusing KR series to watch with all of its kick-ass-isms. :amuse

Having a lame-ass protagonist is the show's "highlight". The producers have dubbed Kamen Rider Den-O as the "weakest Kamen Rider ever". Although it's still earlier to say if it will be like that until the end. Hopefully, Ryotarou grows and becomes a better character. Who knows, he can kick Imagin ass with just the Plat Form. :P

Earlier, I was able to get a copy of Kamen Rider Blade in DVD-9 while I was searching for porn hentai anime titles. :whoo

I just want to share again this video where Tendou and Kagami eat insect riceballs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLMXtLvS1Cc)... :lmao

And Deranged, I suggest that you check out the Hyper Battle Video of Kabuto after watching Episode 34. :)

[Deranged]

Den-O has at least piqued my interest so I'm at least intrigued at where it is going but at the moment I'm more interested in finishing Kabuto, which has really held my interest alot... (and will do with the advice when I get to there then XD )

Also, I blogged about my first impression on the subject in some detail...

hey, where u find the Kamen Rider Blade DVD????

[dspr8_rugged]

St. Francis Square near Megamall in Ortigas. :)

Actually, a friend of mine informed me of it and I checked the place out yesterday. And it took me one hour to find it among thousands of other titles. :P

I don't know if my copy is the last copy. I also saw a Hibiki DVD.

So you're blogging this now, eh, Deranged? :)

By the way, let me warn you, the final episode of Kabuto hasn't been subbed yet, and to think that TV-Nihon has already subbed the first two episodes of Den-O... kuso. :yell

Unless you understand Japanese, I guess there's no problem.

[Kamen_Raida]

Well, I've already stated this before, but I've always considered warnings one of the few 'Necessary Repetitions' in this world.

Deranged, I agree with you on one thing. The first few episodes of Kabuto were captivating. I, myself, held much hope for the series. Episode 4 may have been what told my underdeveloped mind: 'This show rocks.'

Then, after Episode 4......... Well.... I still held hope..... By the entry of Kamen Raida Darke (3rd Rider in the series), I got the feeling it could get repetitive, but it could still be saved...... Drake's arc ended nicely..... Then Sasword (4th Rider) came..... I knew it'd be crap....

Then Kagami got himself a 'small moment of glory' (yes, don't want to be spoiling things now, do I?)........... a glory which was expected from the beggining.... a glory we wanted to see developed...... but when things WEREN'T developed..... Well..... things just rocketed to idiodicy from there, and this happened around, like dspr8_rugged, the 30s.

The entire problem with Kabuto was that it had a whole lot of potentially great plotlines that could've been developed, but however, weren't. Instead, it relied on its monthly supply of gimmicks to keep it alive.... Admittedly though, it had alot of moments.... The problem was that these 'moments' happened out of nowhere and looking at them in the bigger picture, they're nothing.

============

Right, now that my third (or so I beleive) rant on the evils of Kabuto (or rather the evil that is Kabuto) is done, I shalt attend myself to other matters.

Haku_Taker: Right, read your comments 'bout the rest o' the New-Gens. Well, I'll admit, I do understand why some would flock to Faiz and Kabuto.... Its just that I'm simply incapable of appreciating what they see in the damn things.....

I have to disagree with you on the Faiz movie.... I consider it the worst New-Gen Rider movie actually.... It simply did not have so 'episodic' a feel as the other movies out there.

As for Blade..... I actually thought that the sacrifice Kenzaki made was completely idiotic! It was a completely selfish act on Kenzaki's part, and even worse was that the entire thing was completely out of charachter for Kenzaki! Now, there are two creatures running around in Blade, both with the potential of ending everything! I perferred the ending which Missing Ace presented, with Kenzaki actually following through with his promise to whoop Hajime's butt should he get out of control.

NOES!! *slows down download a bit...*

Well, Ive had loads of experience where a show starts off good and just failed completely with so many missed opportunities and the such, so as long as its going to keep me interested at least I wont mind so much... I'll ba a little disappointed but not devastated like I was for certain other series...

Alright, can anyone recommend me another older series as well... I see alot of name at the forefront like BLade and 555... a little more info and maybe your thoughts on it?

[dspr8_rugged]

I actually don't consider Kabuto that bad, although as I said, for me, it didn't have the potential to be a great series with all of its gimmicks and what not, but it kept me amused from start until the end. It's like watching Gundam Wing - more of the kick-ass stuff but somewhat fails in the plot department.

Alright, can anyone recommend me another older series as well... I see alot of name at the forefront like BLade and 555... a little more info and maybe your thoughts on it?
Kamen Rider 555 is one of the good next-gen KR series I've seen. The plot is character-driven, it features some of the best action sequences, and it also features the coolest Kamen Rider gears, IMO. :amuse

My only beef about 555 is the final episode - it didn't have enough closure. I was like, "And then... what happens now?" after seeing the final credits.

As for Kamen Rider Blade, I've already finished 26 episodes and so far, I feel like I'm watching 555 again, with some Ryuki elements on the side (not only because of the cards). And Blade has a bad-sounding Rider belt voice-over.

Oh yeah, I also suggest Kamen Rider Ryuki. This is the next-gen KR series that revived my interest to Kamen Riders. Not to mention its pretty unique concept. The ending sucked though. Now that I think of it, I haven't seen the "13 Riders Special"... :huh

If you want more info, you can always Wiki it. :P

Oh sweet! Episode 3 of Den-O subbed is out! :whoo

Now I'm beginning to understand... thanks anyway.

If u don't like Kamen Rider Kabuto, why do u have a picture of Kamen Rider Caucasus? Well, do u watch the movie Kamen Rider Kabuto: Godspeed Love???

Anyway, Kamen Rider 555: Paradise Lost is not "episodic" but according to some, most of the Kamen Rider movies are based in an alternate universe. Maybe the exception is Kamen Rider Ryuki: Episode Final.:P

Actually, I have watched God Speed Love. I ranked it as my second least worst New-Gen Rider Movie :)

The movie needed at least half an hour more to have made it something worth watching, but nope, it tried to be brave (synonym for stupid) and work with its rather limited time. Ergo, crap, crap, crap, oooooooh Caucasus...... then crap, crap, crap, awwwwww Caucy died :( ....... Oooh look, MORE CRAP! And all that in only 1 hour and approximately 10 minutes :o

Simply put: FAR TOO RUSHED

Oh yeah, and if my earlier comment had not been obvious enough, I do indeed love Caucasus! Its just everything else I despised :P

He holds a certain 'atmosphere' to his prescence which the other charachters lack. Graceful yet strong. Quite 'developed' for a 'Movie Rider'.

And I must add that all Rider movies after Agito are actually alternate universes. Hibiki can be put to question though. It was more an alternate telling of how Hibiki got his Ultimate Form. The rest was basically in a canon context.

[dspr8_rugged]

I so agree. God Speed Love is way too rushed. It's like that cliche about "too many cooks spoil the broth". There's just too much stuff going on that I don't know what's really happening, as if everything on the screen is messed-up.

But it's already there and we can't do anything about it anymore, except that we await for the Den-O movie. :amuse

As for Paradise Lost, I actually found it better than the series, the ending, I mean, although both didn't have enough closure, the movie ending was more satisfying, IMO.

So far I've seen only those two. Missing Ace might be the next one since I'm watching Blade at the moment...

Ya know, Kamen Rider Hibiki and the Seven War Demons is one of the best Kamen Rider movies ever... until Godspeed Love. But it was rushed....

[dspr8_rugged]

Speaking of Hibiki, I gave it a try yesterday. I was out of words... it was just plain... weird. I don't know if I can endure this weirdness the show has. I mean, I can't get myself to watch another episode after seeing the first one. :huh

[Haku_Taker]

you will think it's weird in the first place, but if ya watch all of them, I know u will understand what I a Kamen_Raida are talking about.

I love the ending theme "Shounen Yo" by Akira Fuse. It's really nice...:amuse

[Kamen_Raida]

Oh, most indeed dspr8_rugged. One would most assuredly be afeard of the enchanted melodies of Hibiki. They make the Banshee's song seemeth as if t'were an Angel's voice.

And, aye, the mockery continues. And, as for the story, I cannot describe what is but a wraith. Nonetheless, it doth indeed have excellent charachters that most assuredly makes the show worthwhile. Though, pray, beware the melodies. They will kill as they fell.

[dspr8_rugged]

I'm thinking whether I'll be YouTube-ing Hibiki or buy the DVD-9 copy I saw last Monday, although it still points to the former considering that the first three episodes I saw really turned me off.

I knew about how different Hibiki is from standard Kamen Rider, but I didn't expect it to be soooo different... and so profound. As if every line a person utters is written by Kagami Arata's father... :huh

Now that I think of it, I still haven't finished watching Blade yet... :oh

And I wish I could find a DVD copy of Ryuki... in Filipino. For some reason, I really loved the way it was dubbed. :P Anyway, point is, I just want to see Ryuki again. :amuse

[Haku_Taker]

Kamen Rider Hibiki is the only Kamen Rider show that has the best cast in Kamen Rider history...:amuse

I'll just use the guitar as a weapon and... BOOM!:laugh

[dspr8_rugged]

Forget Hibiki for a while, for I have a reason to rejoice... the final episode of Kabuto is finally subbed! :spaz

[Deranged]

And now, I can get back to download Kabuto at my leisure without need to worry then XD

Also, found the link of the Kabuto replica that got me interested in the series a while back..

http://www.dannychoo.com/blog_entry/eng/618/Kamen+Rider+Kabuto/

[dspr8_rugged]

Now that's some neat-looking costume. Although I'm pretty much okay with just the belt and the Kabuto Zecter... :amuse

And if ever I want a Kamen Rider costume, I would like to have Faiz, with all the gadgets included. :P

[|eMoCandY|]

Masked Rider Ryuuki... Ive Seen a few episodes...

[Deranged]

And if ever I want a Kamen Rider costume, I would like to have Faiz, with all the gadgets included. :P

I wouldn't feel right if I didn't have the full costume then... it still is pretty pricy though... that approximates out as $2500 US / £1300 GBP... yikes, thats alot but man, if i had the money, I would get it XD

[dspr8_rugged]

Yeah, the costume is really expensive. I'll be damned if they sell the motorcyles as well. Just imagine riding the Kabuto or Gatack Extender, especially the latter for its cast-off mode lets you fly!

Or better yet, the Faiz Autovajin and Kaixa Sidebasher from 555. It's like having a mecha in your garage! Thanks, but I'll pass the Jet Sliger. :P

Sorry for being like this, but I think this Kamen Rider bug (hehe...) of mine may last for some time... :spaz

haha, I like the Kabuto costume. Anyway I also like the Faiz one. I hope that they will also sell the Psyga costume w/ all the gadgets including the Flying Attacker. That will be cool!smile-big

[dspr8_rugged]

Not that's overboard. I don't think they will sell the flying attacker. The motorcyles are possible, IMO. Just think of where the staff ditches them out after a full year of shooting. :amuse

And what's with annoying brats in Kamen Rider? Blade had Amane, Kabuto had Jyuka and there's also one in Faiz (but good thing it's only for three episodes...). I swear, I really cringe when I see these characters on screen, all of them are annoying and pretty much useless. :mad

[Anego]

omg, Kamen Rider... XD
it's my bro's generation. my generation is... GOOGLE FIVE, if any ever heard it XD

[dspr8_rugged]

Goggle V? Man, how old are you? That's like during the 80's. I wasn't even born when that show aired and even the first gen Kamen Riders. :huh

[Haku_Taker]

I watch Goggle V on RPN.

[dspr8_rugged]

Whoa. No activity in this thread ever since I was gone for a few days.

Seen Den-O's Stop 5. Urataros appears and by next week, we'll finally see the next form. :amuse

[narutofan1010]

i would like to mention Kamen Rider Dragon knight thr first kamen rider in 10 years to be adapted to us audiences

[dspr8_rugged]

Whoa, it's been quite some time since this thread had activity... :oh

Hello there, narutofan1010! From your profile it seems that you are a fan of Super Sentai. :)

Yeah, I would check out Kamen Rider Dragon Knight if I get the chance, considering that Ryuki is a favorite KR series of mine. I saw the trailer and it looks kinda promising, although I don't know how the staff will pull this one off.

I can't wait for Den-O's 9th Stop! Kintaros is coming to town and the Axe Form as well! I also heard about a second Kamen Rider for Den-O. Hmm, I wonder if he is just as lame as Ryoutarou? :P

And I would like to share this rock version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNemDRD8pW8) and the blues version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amJyAGYkUNg) of Climax Jump. It's damn good, I say, although it would been better if there were vocals in it. :thumbs

[Xell]

I want to start on Kamen Rider (I love the looks of the suits! XD). Being a slight Sentai fan (seen all of Zyuranger, seen bits of the other series), I'd like to check this out. Any ideas on which series to start on? (subbed of course).

[dspr8_rugged]

Well, I'm a fan of the 3rd-gen Kamen Rider series...

So far, I've seen Ryuki, 555, Blade, Kabuto and Den-O (currently watching). You can start with either one of those. All of them are subbed by TV-Nihon (not too sure about Ryuki though).

Hehe, "Take It a Try" was sung by Ryoji Miromoto, the guy who played as Aikawa Hajime/Kamen Rider Chalice. Well, Chalice is one of my favorite riders in Blade.:amuse

And Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, I believe, will be a success b'coz the director is a big fan of Kamen Rider: Steve Wang.:nod

[dspr8_rugged]

Can't say if it will be a success because Wang is a fan. Anyone would claim to be a fan of Kamen Rider... :huh

I'm not really that excited for it, though as I have been saying, I'll still check it out when it comes out.

Steve Wang's great inspirations are Ultraman and Kamen Rider. Shotaro Ishinomori died in 1998. The third generation (aka New Generation) debuted in 2000. And I think Toei put Steve Wang on the spot straight up asking him "What is Kamen Rider"...I guess Wang said something right to allow him to adapt Kamen Rider. People feel Steve Wang is perfect for the job because his works on the Live Action Guyver Movies (hehe, the guy who played as the Guyver is also the guy who voiced as Solid Snake in the MGS games, David Hayter).

This is a fandom of mine:

How about this: Kira as Blade, Lacus as a female Chalice (Femme Chalice, a white Chalice), Athrun as Garren, and Cagalli as a female Leangle (Rouge Leangle). But one of the interesting parts that Lacus, the Pink Princess, will become a Joker (the Pink Princess Joker Undead). There are KiraLacus and AsuCaga hints but I want to put character development on Kira and Lacus. I want to make Kira as CE's Kenzaki Kazuma and Lacus as CE's female Aikawa Hajime.

And... there will be Kira vs Lacus fights for Lacus is a Joker. That will be sometimes more tragic and more dramatic. I want to combine it w/ the events of the movie Kamen Rider Blade: Missing Ace.

As I said in post #94, I recommend Ryuki, Kabuto and Den-O.

Well, you can try out Hibiki, that is, if you can overcome it's "uniqueness".

Thanks for the suggestions dspr8!
I'll definitely look into them

Is there one i should check out more then the others of those 3?

[Vegitto-kun]

I personally know somebody that works for a subbing group that subs sentai series including kamen rider

He is trying to make me join to be a typesetter as they only have one left

[dspr8_rugged]

Well, try watching Ryuki first (since it's my personal favorite), although TV-Nihon hasn't completely subbed it yet.

If it doesn't work for you, then try Kabuto, and then Den-O (as this one's the latest KR series, with 9 episodes and running...).

[SGLP]

I secretly hate Den-O. Don't tell anyone though. It's a secret.

[Haku_Taker]

I secretly hate Den-O. Don't tell anyone though. It's a secret.

what's the reson why u hate Den-O???:huh

[dspr8_rugged]

Oh yes, I do believe that you hate Den-O. :P

Don't worry. I won't tell anyone. :amuse

[SGLP]

what's the reson why u hate Den-O???:huh

Ryoutarou. He's growing on me though. :(

[dspr8_rugged]

Haha. And you're another one who doesn't like Ryoutarou. :P

Well, he's definitely a big change for a KR series protagonist - a lame-ass one at that with a sense of justice. I do think that his hijinks are getting tiring as episodes go by.

Although I have to give credit to Takeru Sato for having such flexibility as an actor. :thumbs

Coming from Tendou, it was a shocking change. I'd have to say Kabuto has been my favorite from those I've seen. As the weeks go by, it's getting better.

I'm getting anxious about more Riders and such.

[Deranged]

God Ive been gone way too long... anyone catch ep 9 of Den-O that just came out... I think at this point, the story is getting me as intrigued as I was when I first started Kabuto (took it long enough)... The next episode preview also showed off Axe form which does look majorly different from the other two... I'm looking forward to it XD

[dspr8_rugged]

I'm currently downloading Den-O's 9th Stop. I'll be watching and be giving my thoughts later. :amuse

I'm getting anxious about more Riders and such.
Well, this article from a Kamen Rider blog (read entry dated March 12, entitled "Second Den-O Rider Update") (http://igadevil.blogspot.com/search/label/Kamen%20Rider%20Den-O) says it all. :)

[Champloon]

Will do! and thnx for the info :amuse

[Haku_Taker]

Hehe, I also liek Den-O. I have a sense that there will be character development for Ryoutarou.

[dspr8_rugged]

Finished Den-O's 9th Stop. Now I can't wait for the 10th to come out so that we can see the Axe Form in action! :spaz

Makes you wonder if there will be a "Double-Action Axe Form" theme? :P

Regarding Ryoutarou's character, well, we may have to get used to his unluckiness and clumsiness for most, if not, the rest of the way, just to retain the premise that he's the weakest Kamen Rider protagonist in history.

Unless a plot twist will change all of that...

[Deranged]

I wouldn't like it if his character did a 180, I didn't like him that much to begin with but I would like him less if that happened. It is getting more bearable each episode though and I am liking the character development as of such.

Cool, Gun form looks so cool XD... although I have doubts cause Drake was never that cool to me... D:

And I believe 10 has come out, I'm downloading it now XD

[dspr8_rugged]

Kamen Riders that only use guns as weapons never interested me.

Although I was kinda surprised to see the DenGasher be transformed into a gun. I saw that in a YouTube demo of the toy itself.

Well, maybe except for Kamen Rider Zolda from Ryuki... he's like the most kick-ass gun-toting Kamen Rider ever.

Oh yes! 10th Stop... sanjou! :spaz

[Deranged]

It was extremely awesome... axe form doesn't go for the drawn out fight like the others, it is just straight there and overpower the opponent XD

[SGLP]

Well, this article from a Kamen Rider blog (read entry dated March 12, entitled "Second Den-O Rider Update") (http://igadevil.blogspot.com/search/label/Kamen%20Rider%20Den-O) says it all. :)

Not Den-O's forms, but the rumors of more Kamen Riders. Namely Hono-O and Arashi-O. I don't think the rumors have been confirmed yet.

Unlikely, considering that the writers of Kamen Rider are sexists. And if ever there will be a female Kamen Rider, she will only appear in the movie. :P

Well, maybe you could have missed this on the link I gave earlier:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v224/dspr8_rugged/den-osecondrider.jpg

Anyway, not even the people at the TV-Nihon forums (http://tvnihon.com/forums) are saying something about a second, or even a third Rider.

And somebody posted a ridiculous-looking "Hyper Sword Form" (http://img474.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hyperswordformbs8.jpg). They claim that it's based from the legend of Momotarou - hence it's supposed to be the real thing. It's really ugly with the thing on its head. :huh

I didn't go down it, I had seen the Gun Form picture. I go to www.japanhero.com/forums now. I used to go to the TV-Nihon ones, but Kingranger deleted one of my posts for no reason, so I stopped going.

A lot of stuff get's posted, some real, some turn out to be fake.

Rofl. That has to be fake.

I hope there will be a female Rider in Den-O.

Rumored for the Den-O movie. Not known if it's true though.

[dspr8_rugged]

Rofl. That has to be fake.
Haha. I know. And to think that the one posted it insists that it's for real... :P

That's why I only check this blog (http://igadevil.blogspot.com) for Kamen Rider news.
Rumored for the Den-O movie. Not known if it's true though.
That will remain a rumor until further notice. Maybe sometime in July, we'll have new info on the movie, like always.

And I have a feeling that...
...Hana can be a candidate for a female Rider.

Well, the DenLiner owner said that she is a "singularity point"... and I'm wondering if that's a prerequisite on being a Kamen Rider. :huh

[KaiZX]

There's a discussion on japanheros.com forum on what a singularity point is, if you're interested. You might have to sift through a few pages though...

On a side note from Den-O, there have also been rumors about a possible Kamen Rider: The Second movie... in other words, a sequel to Kamen Rider: The First. It's rumored to be the second part in a 3-part trilogy, this time featuring V3 in some capacity (either he's the feature character, or he's created at the end).

Kazuki Kato, who plays Kazama Daisuke in Kabuto, is rumored to be the actor for V3.

By the way, a nice concept sketch for what a "modern" V3 would look like: http://www.thai-toku.com/cgi-bin/Y1Gold/tcsyabb/index.pl?board=general&action=display&num=1168390809

hehe, yeah. i thought that there will be a V3 remake. So there will be a three-Rider teamup, huh?

[dspr8_rugged]

I'm actually excited for Stop 13, as it is Gun Form's and Ryutaros' debut. In case you didn't know, Ryutaros' VA is Kenichi Suzumura, most notable for GSD's Shinn Asuka. :amuse

[Potentialflip]

Unlikely, considering that the writers of Kamen Rider are sexists. And if ever there will be a female Kamen Rider, she will only appear in the movie. :P
It could be said that is the thing when discussing Tokusatsu shows (females were never truly was given a focal lead, rather a sidekick role). But it is more likely due to the idea that until Kamen Rider Ryuki there has never been an official female Kamen Rider throughout the whole series. If your new to the series then I can see why anyone would be asking for a female Kamen Rider.

Anyways TV-N has just brought out Den-O 12 just a while ago. Just as the preview from kingranger (TV-N staff) said. Pretty powerful episode.

hehe, my imagination is flaring up!:nuts What if I'm gona make a GSD/Kamen Rider Den-O fanfic well, I'm gonna make Shinn as Den-O!

And Rey Za Burrel's VA is Momotaros' VA.

[dspr8_rugged]

Yeah. Same can be said about why no female in history has become the Red ranger in super sentai. :P

If you're asking me, I'm not really new to this series. But, well, I'm still hoping that a female Kamen Rider will show up for Den-O.

Stop 12 is rather fun as Kintaros has stolen this episode from Momotaros and Urataros, much to their dismay (especially Momotaros). :P

I just wonder when will that mysterious guy in trenchcoat and hat will reveal himself...

[bgfan]

Wow, this thread was really hard to find (the search engine doesn't work).
I finished Kamen Rider Kabuto about a month ago and I am currently catching up with Den-O. I LOVE it!
Anyway, I wanted to know if there's somewhere I can find God Speed Love subbed. I can't seem to find it anywhere. :cry

Well, I think TV Nihon has a sub of Godspeed Love.

I also love Den-O. If I'm gonna make a Bleach/Kamen Rider Den-O fanfic, Hanatarou is fit to be the main character. He's also a wussy, lame-ass like Ryoutarou.

[Kamen_Raida]

Well, I can say that after 16 episodes of Den-O..... I still say it sucks :)

I mean, really, shoving all those Cheap CG Battles is painful enough, but with a story thats fragging itself over and over!? Holy Hippos, what ARE the Den-O producers thinking!? If anything, the central Imagins are quite colorful characters. Especially Kintaros. Crazy Kansai hick!

But honestly, its repeating the same mistakes Kabuto did. Getting caught up with going 'Boom Boom' and not enough of a compelling story. Hell, looking back at Blade, it was already way past its first serious story arc by its 16th episode! And what is Den-O doing? Den-O's too focused on its toys and not enough on the technicalities of the show itself. If it continues this for any longer, it will become a lost hope.

To be honest, one of my largest peeves about the show is its god-awful use of those horrendous 'Train Battles'! Those were just PAINFUL to look at! And I thought they already learnt that 'Giant Monsters' are a no-go with Kamen Rider. God, this show actually feels like watching a Sentai!

Speaking of Sentai, I must just say that Gekiranger kicks Den-O's butt in every single way possible! It actually is INTERESTING (something I haven't said about Sentai for far too long)! But, as this is a Kamen Rider Thread, I suppose one shouldn't talk about this here, aye (seriosuly, someone needs to make a Sentai thread soon, just because of the awesomeness that is Gekiranger -___-)

Back to Kamen Rider, I must say that having taken the time to rewatch choice episodes of Faiz, I must say my opinion of it has risen greatly. Still nowhere near the 'Big 3' (That's Ryuuki, Agito, and Hibiki) but, at least its own Blade's and Kuuga's level now.

Ah, and just to end things on a very bleak note, I have discovered something most horrible. Apparently, I share the same first name as Ryoutaro Nogami's actor. :oh

I'm so glad that I chose to fast the entire day or my dear keyboard would've been pretty messy. *sigh* Oh, such horrid sights doth unfix my hair....

Ur right. I saw the DenLiner is cool and even the battles, but like as you said, it's like also watching Sentai. My fav is Ryuutaros, the gunslinging, breakdancing Imagin. Ya know, Kenichi Suzumura is the VA of Ryuutaros (he's notably known for being the VA of Shinn Asuka of Gundam SEED Destiny.).

Juuken Sentai Gekiranger? Don't worry, I'll make a Super Sentai thread as well a "Super Sentai vs. Power Rangers" thread.

Do u also know about Kamen Rider Dragon Knight? That is the American adaptation of Ryuki. But that is not a kids' show; my friend saw the trailer and he says it's promising. And do u know that the one who will make this adaptation is a fan of Kamen Rider and made international success by his adaptation movies of the manga superhero Guyver: Steve Wang.

the story is different from Ryuki's, but it PAYS HOMAGE to Kamen Rider,as well as the Kamen Rider shows created by Ishinomori. Ya know, if Ishinomori is alive, maybe he'll collaborate w/ Steve Wang in some aspects like: Wang's adaptation of the first Kamen Rider show (the 1971 original), Kamen Rider Black, and some stuff.

But if Kamen Rider Dragon Knight will air in 2008, it will be a sign that American toku will be reborn. And if it will be a success, maybe Steve Wang's next project is his adaptation of Faiz, Blade, Hibiki, Kabuto, and Den-O.

On Hibiki: the characters are wonderful, but they have the best cast in Kamen Rider history. Do u know about Shigeki Hosokawa and Jyoyi Shibuye?

that's all.:amuse

Well, yes, Ryuutaros is indeed an amusing character.... when he isn't being a whiny little brat, that is. I do beleive we've found the Amane-chan of the year, folks :notrust

I have to admit, though, that my favourite of the Imagin would simply have to be Kintaros! smile-big That nut is just awesome! His strength most certainly does make me cry... Tears of laughter that is!

As for Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, I am ambivalent towards it. As I've previously stated, Kamen Rider Ryuuki is my favourite Rider series. I'm worried that the themes that made Ryuuki a show worth watching may be neglected. From what I've seen of the trailer, it seems to what will be mainly included will be what is explicit rather than what has to be read between the lines.

Oh, I'm not saying that Stevie must absolutely follow every single thing set up by Ryuuki. That'd be boring. What I am saying is that I hope he can grip the level of maturity the concepts in Ryuuki presented.

Sad to say, I am abit worried from the original ideas Stevie does present. For one, WHY did he have to aid minions!? They simply look so out of place with the entire setting! And WHY do these villains carry the corniest names? Xaviax!? And, really, is the entire 'I Need to Find My Father' subplot so alluring that it needs to be used EVERY SINGLE TIME!?

*sigh* Here's hoping my pessimism is proven wrong though.

And Shigeki Hosokawa is indeed a very great man. His potrayol of Hibki, made a potentially boring character a joy to watch. Imagine the glee I found myself in seeing him in Death Note!

[dspr8_rugged]

Well, I do agree with what you said about Den-O, Kamen_Raida. Although in the beginning, I have told myself that Den-O isn't exactly a Kamen Rider series that is to be taken seriously, with all of its goofy antics and very slow progression with regards to the stoy. Which I don't mind, really.

And Shigeki Hosokawa is indeed a very great man. His potrayol of Hibki, made a potentially boring character a joy to watch. Imagine the glee I found myself in seeing him in Death Note!
Oh yes, I admire Hibiki's actor too. He carries the character very well. Although I've only seen like, 15 episodes of Hibiki. And yeah, it was quite a surprise that he was in the Death Note live action movie playing as Ray Penbar.

Ah, and just to end things on a very bleak note, I have discovered something most horrible. Apparently, I share the same first name as Ryoutaro Nogami's actor.
Ah, so your name is Takeru, I suppose. :P

I have to give the credit to Takeru Satou for what he is doing in Den-O. His work is so damn hard for crying out loud, that not even past Kamen Rider protagonist actors can do the same work as him. He is portraying at most five characters and also VA-ing himself. :oh

I suppose thats the case, but even then some of its own gags just plain don't invoke any laughs, especially with its routine 'Ryoutaro Abuse'. I will give credit to Momotaros, Kintaros and Ryuutaros however, as they genuinely can be quite funny. Especially with Ryuutaros' spontaenous hip-hop moments. smile-big


Ah, so your name is Takeru, I suppose. :P

Well, I suppose I was overexaggerating a little. To put it simply, my name shares the same writing as Takeru, although 'Takeru' only represents one half of my name. My full first name is 'Jian Wei' （健伟）, and as I'm sure you can see, Takeru is written 健. Notice that Jian and Takeru are written exactly the same way.

Of course, as I know absolutely no Japanese, I have no idea what my full name would translate to, thus I suppose my disgust is quite misplaced and was unnecessary.... As is this little lesson assuming you do not have the software for reading Japanese or Chinese Text, in which case I just made a fool of myself.... again.

Well, I suppose I must give him at least some amount of credit. Its not his fault he got shafted into a crappy role. I must admit his breakdancing skills are quite awesome, and I love the facial expressions his pulls while 'posessed'. The one problem I do have with Takeru is when he goes to regular old Ryoutaro. Is it really absolutely necessary to be so annoyingly 'girlish'?

The DenLiner Imagins' antics are indeed funny sometimes.

And I got tired of the "Ryoutarou getting owned" gag after the arc with the Smart Lady...

Oh yes, I like how Ryuutaros controls everyone with his dancing. Not to mention that his dance crew appears OUT OF NOWHERE. :lmao

And Double Action Axe Form has made me :cry... that was totally unexpected. Not even the guys at TV-Nihon were expecting it.

Well, I suppose I was overexaggerating a little. To put it simply, my name shares the same writing as Takeru...
Oh. I thought you were Japanese.

I agree. I've seen Takeru Satou's other works, and his portrayal of the original Ryoutarou Nogami is the crappiest I've seen. Well, he is making the character too wussy.

Oh yes, I wasn't expecting that his breakdancing skills will be of use for Den-O. Now that I think of it, why wasn't Ryuutaros breakdancing in the OP? Maybe the suit is making it hard for him to do so? :P

[Haku_Taker]

I don't think that Takeru Satou is a great actor. He portrays 5 characters? Awesome.

Kamen_Raida: Hmm, the name Xaviax can be somewhat corny, but to be honest, I have high hopes for Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. Just to think about it: what if the villain group of Xaviax can be notoroius as Shocker or Smart Brain or Gorgom? What if Kit Taylor's (the main character) dad can be Xaviax or an American version of Shiro Kanzaki? I know ur worried on the 'I Need to Find My Father' subplot but it can be a tragic one, just like Kotaro Minami finding (and fighting) his brother.

Hmmm.... what will Steve Wang do if he's gonna make an adaptation of Kabuto and Den-O? I hope he'll make it better than the original. U said that Kabuto is the worst to you, right?

And I don't think that Den-O is a comedy-centric.

I also found out that Koji Yusa, Gin Ichimaru's VA of Bleach, is Urataros' VA.

Gin: Shoot him dead, Shinsou.

???: Haha, ur soooo annoying!
Gin: Who's that?
Uragin (Urataros version of Gin Ichimaru, w/ glasses): this is not annoying.

*Uragin wears the Den-O belt then presses the blue button*

Uragin: Henshin! *then uses the Rider Pass...*

ROD FORM!

[Kamen_Raida]

The DenLiner Imagins' antics are indeed funny sometimes.

And I got tired of the "Ryoutarou getting owned" gag after the arc with the Smart Lady...

Oh yes, I like how Ryuutaros controls everyone with his dancing. Not to mention that his dance crew appears OUT OF NOWHERE. :lmao

Too true! I DEMAND a musical featuring Ryuutaros and his crew! The insanity that will ensue at the expense of the 'Ryuu-Gang's' crew's victims will be nothing short of hilarious.

And Double Action Axe Form has made me :cry... that was totally unexpected. Not even the guys at TV-Nihon were expecting it.

I actually thought that Double Action Axe Form was quite amusing. At the least its perfect for Kintaros! Truly, his strength extends to even his songs, and we all know what his strength makes us do, don't we?


Oh. I thought you were Japanese.

Correction, I'm quarter Japanese. Its just that I don't know the language :oh

Come to think of it, the fact that I don't know the main dialect of Chinese while being three quarters Chinese is much worse.....

I REALLY, REALLY SUCK!

Oh yes, I wasn't expecting that his breakdancing skills will be of use for Den-O. Now that I think of it, why wasn't Ryuutaros breakdancing in the OP? Maybe the suit is making it hard for him to do so? :P

That, and the suit actor probably doesn't know how to break-dance anyhow. Someone obviously was not paying too much attention at the meetings, weren't they?


Kamen_Raida: Hmm, the name Xaviax can be somewhat corny, but to be honest, I have high hopes for Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. Just to think about it: what if the villain group of Xaviax can be notoroius as Shocker or Smart Brain or Gorgom? What if Kit Taylor's (the main character) dad can be Xaviax or an American version of Shiro Kanzaki? I know ur worried on the 'I Need to Find My Father' subplot but it can be a tragic one, just like Kotaro Minami finding (and fighting) his brother.

Thats what I'm hoping on, but honestly, the trailer doesn't seem so promising. The idea of Kit's father being Xaviax is an interesting idea to toy with, although I'd avoid it, considering how cliched those sort of stories have become.

If anything, Xaviax himself should be the representation of Shiro Kanzaki.... But what with him leading an 'Army of Evil', I don't expect the same level of drama we had with Shiro.

It really isn't so much about the notoriety of the antagonists that would get to be, but how well they could be developed.

Shiro Kanzaki was a fascinating villain because his goal seemed to be a selfless one. He had in effect given up any chance of a normal life for the sake of one person. His flaw was that he was willing to sacrifice people for this goal; that was what may have defined him as a villain. But, his ulterior motive was noble. What makes Shiro, the main villain, interesting is not the bloodshed he caused, but his own motives, and how with the right view, we could see him as a selfless hero.

Actually, I've had something of an idea working in my head of how Xaviax could be made interesting. He was supposedly 'banished' by the Kamen Riders years ago, right? Because he was just a big fat asshole, right? What if that was a lie? Maybe, Xaviax was fighting for a righteous cause, but the Kamen Riders could not see it as anything other than a threat and banished him for it? It'd be alot more interesting than making him some 'Ultimate Evil'. It'd actually give him a personality, and that is something villains are sorely in need of.

Hmmm.... what will Steve Wang do if he's gonna make an adaptation of Kabuto and Den-O? I hope he'll make it better than the original. U said that Kabuto is the worst to you, right?

It all depends on how well he does Dragon Knight. If its good, I'll have no qualms on what he does for the rest. To use an old cliche, what he will do for Kabuto or Den-O can only be better than what they are, because they are already the worst.

I also found out that Koji Yusa, Gin Ichimaru's VA of Bleach, is Urataros' VA.

Gin: Shoot him dead, Shinsou.

No, I didn't mean it negatively. That song was damn amusing. It's like hearing old-school KR music in a 3rd-gen KR series.

Correction, I'm quarter Japanese. Its just that I don't know the language :oh
That clears things. :)

That, and the suit actor probably doesn't know how to break-dance anyhow. Someone obviously was not paying too much attention at the meetings, weren't they?

I have noticed that Shiro is also a good guy. He really became a selfless hero, when he destroyed Odin and realized the Rider War's worthlessness. And since he's the creator of the Mirror World and the Rider War, he also helped the Riders.

*then a mysterious man came to Shinn, Rey, and Luna. His face is similar to Shinn's but has a purple head bang, wears a cap, purple eyes, and breakdances. The music stops then points to Shinn*

Ryuushinn (Ryuutaros version of Shinn Asuka): Hey, calm down ur anger and take away ur hatred, and stay cool, dawg!

I rest my case :P

@Haku_Taker: I'm curious, what do you mean by Shiro Kanzaki 'helping' the Riders? They never exactly gained anything from this, when you think about it.

And, oh yes, Bleach is simply one of those things that just pisses me of to no ends. To make a comparison, it was how I felt for Faiz back then, and how I feel for Kabuto now.

@Dheano: Welcome, dear sir! Glad you've taken notice of this! :)

Or unless you do know Kamen Rider and you just said your own truth...

In case u don't notice, Power Rangers came from Super Sentai...:)

Bah! Lies! .....Well mostly, at least. I'd take any Power Ranger over Kabuto or Den-O >____>

[dspr8_rugged]

Well, it's not really a bad thing. It's just I really don't like it. Enough said. :P

I'm okay with S.P.D. though. But that's another topic.

[SGLP]

Continuing to lose my sanity, I look forward to Gekiranger every week with Den-O getting watch when boredom hits critical mass. I'm even watching Power Rangers again. I'd haven't watched or liked Power Rangers since Ninja Storm. That of Dino Thunder I watched was only because I couldn't see Abaranger subbed.

What have I done?

Kamen_Raida: Kamen Rider Black is one of the successful Kamen Rider series and a classic. But I have one question: Why is Kamen Rider Black far too formulaic? How and why?

[Kamen_Raida]

Kamen_Raida: Kamen Rider Black is one of the successful Kamen Rider series and a classic. But I have one question: Why is Kamen Rider Black far too formulaic? How and why?

.......You're really asking me that?

Yes, it was one of the most successful because it was something unique AT ITS TIME! It introduced an enigma to the main character where one of his greatest enemies was someone close to him (a theme which I actually think was better carried out in the Sentai Classic, Liveman >____>)

But you see, while it did introduce those themes, its structure was also typical of most toku during those days. Really, you could actually predict what was going to happen each episode..... Much like as you could with Den-O now (but to be sure Black is WAY better than Mr. 'Sentai Rider')

How is it repetitive. Allow me to describe the structure for you:

1) Evil Gorgom plan is initiated

2) Kotaro fights Monster

3) Monster Escapes

4) Kotaro has rematch with Monster

5) Kotaro Wins

:notrust

Frankly, half of the episodes felt like 'filler moments', and only a select few had any relevance to the overall story at all. Back then, I'm sure it must have been a great success. Now......... Yeah...... I've grown past the stage where watching the same episodes over and over entertained me....

Yeah, saw that vid last night. Obviously, Zeronos only has two forms, and Yuuto doesn't even need an Imagin for the Altair form, for crying out loud. :oh

[dspr8_rugged]

Now, isn't it rather boring in the ZeroLiner? There's only Yuuto and Deneb. I wonder if it also has a barista and a weird owner. Compare that with the DenLiner. :lmao

I watched the Director's Cut of the Kabuto movie via DVD. There were extras of the J movie and the Agito special, but damn, they weren't subtitled. :cry

[Kamen_Raida]

You know, I'm starting to think Kamen Rider Den-O could be interesting. There's still the chance that it'll fail though. Its on the boderline of Faiz and Kabuto so to speak. While I have little faith in its character developement, I believe the Yuuto mystery could develope into a good story. Subsequently, if it does succeed in its story, I may actually have a little more hope for tis character developement.

As for the news of Kamen Rider: The Next, I must say that I'm quite excited, the V3 series being my favourite of the Old Gen Riders, although my liking would mostly be attributed to Riderman. Shame that Yuuki does not seem likely to make an appearence though :(

Still, its V3, and I'm having high hopes for it.

You can try the ones at TV-Nihon (http://tvnihon.com). They have most of the 3rd-gen KR series, except for Kuuga, Agito and Ryuki.

Well, the hunt for the mysterious watch man is now on. To be honest, that was like, the first "real" story for Den-O. I mean, all the others were in the "kaijin of the bi-week" format. It's about time that Den-O's story gets something...

Kame Rider was quality....

I remember I used to have a costume... I have pics of me on it, next time I go to Brazil I'll look for them, if I find, I'll post them here...

Ok. Hehe, V3 is one of my fav Kamen Riders. And the guy who will play as V3 is the guy who played as Daisuke Kazama/Kamen Rider Drake in Kamen Rider Kabuto: Kazuki Kato.

*inserts Kamen Rider V3 theme*

And if ya ask me, I like Zeronos. I thought Yuuto Sakurai, Airi Nogami's fiancee, is somewhat mysterious. He was played by Yuichi Nakamura (he's the same age as me!:amuse ), who also played as Kyosuke Kiriya a.k.a. Masato Kusaka, Jr. of Kamen Rider Hibiki.

I do believe I have stated it before. Kamen Rider Den-O is at a significant disadvantage starting its story so late. To be honest, comparing this to Kabuto, Kabuto actually seemed to have been getting alot more things done during that stage. And don't even get me started on the other Rider series. The point is that this is the 'make or break' point for Den-O, and it really can't afford to mess up this late in the game.

I hear you, man, I hear you. There are some things people can never grow out of. This just happens to be one of them.

Ok. Hehe, V3 is one of my fav Kamen Riders. And the guy who will play as V3 is the guy who played as Daisuke Kazama/Kamen Rider Drake in Kamen Rider Kabuto: Kazuki Kato.

Well, comparing the more flamboyant Kazama to the more controlled Shiro, I find it hard to imagine Kazuki stepping into the shoes of V3. But, if he can a good job of it then I have no reservations.

Kabuto had a great start, but kinda messed it up towards the middle until the end. Maybe it's the reverse for Den-O... the next half would be the great part.

Maybe the mysterious watchman will expose the fruiter part of the story. That's what I'm expecting as the episodes go by.

I just wish that they won't introduce a villain so damn late ala-Orphenoch King.

Hmm... I'm hoping for that. Hibiki has a good start, but due to the staff change, it went downhill.

Den-O being bad at the start and later goes up? Wow, I'll keep watch :amuse , despite being "late". Rushed and late is very bad.

[dspr8_rugged]

Oh yeah, Hibiki too. Although I haven't reached the part where everything goes haywire.

[Kamen_Raida]

Well, I'd that Hibiki still did hold solid characterization the whole way through. It just copped out when it came to story...... Copped out REALLY, REALLY badly, as a matter of fact. And unfortunately for its successor it copped out in both story and characterization! So, really, what prediction could we make for Den-O?

Still, like I said, it has hope. I'm not expecting this to be another Ryuuki (heh, irony), but I do want it to at least reach the Faiz stage, is all I'm saying.

For those who watch Gundam SEED Destiny, we all know that Shinn Asuka is a whiny, foolish, crying jackass. But do u think that Ryuutaros is 100x better than Shinn?

Oh, Kenichi Suzumura is a fan of tokusatsu, according to his blog. He even has a Den-O Gun Form action figure.:wink

When Steve Wang's Kamen Rider Dragon Knight will hit TV next year, it will be the rebirth of "American Tokusatsu". And he said that he wants to pay tribute to Shotaro Ishinomori thought his adaptation of Ryuuki.:)

I hear you, man, I hear you. There are some things people can never grow out of. This just happens to be one of them.

a) I actually think it's an advantage for Den-O's story to start so late, because Kabuto's major problem is that it started out very well and introduced a lot of interesting plot bits, but then faltered because the writing staff either didn't adequately resolved them, or resolved them in a really lame and rushed way because they were running out of time. What I like about Den-O is how it's slowly taking its time to build up a good story.

I'd rather a show start a bit weaker but finish strong, then the reverse.

b) Well, if you really want to go through the reality check exercise, just keep in mind that as of this moment you're also writing insignificant posts in an anime forum, instead of, you know, going out and do stuff. I know, I'm guilty of that too :P

Well, to be honest when I said it had a disadvantage, I was meaning it in comparison to other Rider Series, and not just Kabuto. But I do agree with you that IF Den-O does start getting a story around here, it would probably end alot more strongly than Kabuto did.

It just feels like the first 16 or so episodes prior to when it actually did start getting were such a waste. Sure the Imagin introductions were a necessity, I'd give them that..... But what was with the annoying four-parters which it took to fully introduce any of the four core Imagins? Compare this to say, Blade, which had already introduced the first of its three Riders on the get-go, and actually had a sotry leading up to the introduction of the fourth.

Blade was able to get a nice flow when it came to introducing the necessary elements (amid the unnecessary ones....) but Den-O and Kabuto just seemed so 'choppy' when it came to introducing characters that were supposedly 'important'. And even then, their 'importance' often ends up getting diminished, more often than not placing them in the role of 'Minor Character'. Seriously, Trial B had a larger role in 20 or so episodes I believed he appeared in than Mishima did in the entire series. And don't even get me started on Shiro Kanzaki or the 'Black God' in Ryuuki and Agito.

Sakurai Yuuto could very well end up as Den-O's Shiro Kanzaki, although his fairly minor appearences up till now just plain diminish his prescence. However, I do believe that Sakurai Yuuto COULD end up as a commanding prescence eventually. And as I've already stressed before, his relevance needs to be exploited fast!

b) Well, if you really want to go through the reality check exercise, just keep in mind that as of this moment you're also writing insignificant posts in an anime forum, instead of, you know, going out and do stuff. I know, I'm guilty of that too :P

Come to the point that neither of us probably know enough Japanese to hold an argument, and this just shows how much of a life disgruntled fans have. :P

Oh, and here is some Ryuutaros dancing! I wish Shinn would do that! :nod

http://youtube.com/watch?v=haufTBguwuU

[dspr8_rugged]

From this point on, I'll count the number of times that you mention "Shinn" in this thread, Haku. I mean, c'mon, Ryuutaros and that angsty pilot are two different people. :notrust

But yeah, Takeru Sato does have the moves. :amuse

Yeah, yeah. Just want to express my fandom. And sometimes I can't stand on Shinn haters on why they always hating the character w/ no reason or doesn't know the story behind it. So that's the reason why I always do this is because I always want to say that it's not the character's fault why he sucked, it's the staff. But that's just me. :(

And because of what you've said, it is proven that Ryuutaros is 100x better than Shinn Asuka. And Ryuutaros is the best character ever voiced by Kenichi Suzumura, IMO. Nuff said.:P

Anyway, let's give tribute to the classic Kamen Rider shows, like this one:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=jn49sEE6l0o

[Kikyo]

Yes, I remember this show. It was on when I was little. I remember one year for Halloween, in college, several friends of mine dressed up as Kamen Rider, Kikaida, Hakkaida, and others of the same genre... I wish I could find the pics. They were all art majors so their cosplays were really good, they kept getting stopped by the Japanese tourists in Waikiki to take pictures with themselves and/or their kids. It was great.

[dspr8_rugged]

You know what, I'm really craving for some Ryuki now. It sucks that TV-Nihon has only subbed six episodes and the rest are the crappy HK subs.

Either TV-Nihon grants my wish and continues subbing the show or I wish that it gets aired on local TV once again.

Wow...... Considering the turd that Ryuutaros is (and most likely always will be), you're really telling me that there exists individuals that suck that badly? The world just got a hell lot scarier....

For true, my friend, for true. I mean, I just can barely get what the HK Subs are telling and all (strangely enough, the Chinese subbing sucks as much as the English one), I just can't help having the odd snicker whenever they get to the names.

To be honest thogh, at the moment I'm more in the mood for some Faiz. As I've stated before, I'm starting to warm up to it by just a little, and I have to admit that, if anything, it had the best choreography in Kamen Rider as of yet.

[dspr8_rugged]

Yeah, don't get me started on the names. Since when did Shinji become Janse and Ren become Lian? :lmao

Well, the last time I've seen Ryuki was like, three years ago. I really miss the damn show already. TV-Nihon also subbed the first few episodes of Kuuga, but like Ryuki, they didn't finish it... :cry

And I like Faiz in a lot of aspects - yes, choreography in the fight scenes, nice character dynamics, cool Rider gear, and well, except for that ending, I could safely say that Faiz is the best third-gen KR series I've seen thus far.

While I don't think Faiz is exactly 'The Best', I will say that it is at least passable. The characters are sorta hit-and-miss in my opinion. I believe I've already stated that I generally blamed this fault on poor acting. At that, I consider Kento Hanada one of the WORST actors in the history of Kamen Rider. What Faiz does have that at least makes it a pleasure is having villains with PERSONALITY. Something that is quite lacking as of late (*ahem*Makamou*ahem*Worms)

On TV Nihon, I agree it is disappointing that it just seems to have basically abandoned Ryuuki and Kuuga. I've already given my reasons for why I consider Ryuuki a great show. Kuuga, despite not really going anywhere far in terms of character developement or even story, still is engaging, and I for one find it a shame that it doesn't recieve as much credit as it deserves. That, and Agito which hasn't even been subbed at all! I want to understand the story without the constraints of lousy subbing dammit! :mad

Well, Kento Handa did had rather a poor acting stint for Faiz, but I think that it's just the character he portrays is rather bad as well. But maybe it's just me, but I like Takumi Inui despite being that bad. :P

And we're just entitled to our own opinion. I just really like Faiz for what it is. :amuse

Yeah, Den-O also has kaijin with character, the Imagin, that is. Although it was better in Faiz considering that Orphenochs were once humans and they still have this "humanity" issues.

True, true. I just wish they would find time to sub the older 3rd-gen KR series. I mean, they're currently subbing Ultraman Mebius, which aired, like a few years back. They could do the same. :cry

I'm not particularly fond of the Imagin at the moment. Not that I despised them as I did the Worms, Makamo, and Mirror Monsters (yes, I did consider pretty crappy for Kaijn), but it's pretty hard to like them when they seem to lack so little purpose beyond 'changing the past'. In many ways, they are suffering from the same problems as Mirror Monsters and Makamou.

True, true. I just wish they would find time to sub the older 3rd-gen KR series. I mean, they're currently subbing Ultraman Mebius, which aired, like a few years back. They could do the same. :cry

I thought Ultraman Mebius only started airing about two years ago :confused

Although I think the problem with why they can't sub Agito, Kuuga or Ryuuki so easily is because of how difficult it is to get raw footage. Still is a damn shame though. :(

[dspr8_rugged]

Now that I think of it, there hasn't been a "human kaijin" for Den-O. They won't be needing it anyway since Imagin have their own personalities.

I thought Ultraman Mebius only started airing about two years ago :confused
Point being is, it's still a series from the not so distant past. As I said, they can also sub the older Kamen Rider series, preferably the third-gen ones.

Although I think the problem with why they can't sub Agito, Kuuga or Ryuuki so easily is because of how difficult it is to get raw footage. Still is a damn shame though. :(
Exactly. That's what the folks over at TV-Nihon are saying. They can settle with bootleg copies, but apparently, they're not taking that option. :cry

Do u know about Shin Kamen Rider?

[dspr8_rugged]

Not me. I wish I do.

I actually watched the raws for Den-O's 22nd Stop. I can't wait for it to be subbed, considering that it's been THAT LONG since Rod Form and Urataros had kicked (literally) Imagin behind.

It's rather amusing that it took seconds for Isurugi to destroy the Gigandeath, but it took quite a while for Drill and Naginata. Well, maybe it's their debut and it would suck if we didn't see the ZeroLiner in action that much.

Now, what interested me more is that the preview for the 23th Stop featured Sieg and Wing Form... :huh

[Kamen_Raida]

Exactly. That's what the folks over at TV-Nihon are saying. They can settle with bootleg copies, but apparently, they're not taking that option. :cry

There is, then again, that entire deal about professionalism. Bootleg qualities do tend to be lower quality than original qualities. Either way, while I'm not entirely sure about Kuuga and Agito, I do Original DVD copies of Kamen Rider Ryuuki still are on sale in Japan.

Well, he even had a good job playing the role despite of being that bad.

Do u know about Shin Kamen Rider?

I'd hardly call being a Tokusatsu actor a 'good job'. Remeber, that tokusatsu is generally looked down upon as a 'kid's show' in Japan. More or less, in the case of casting, the producers either take what they can get or bring in veterans or ever so occassionally a fan will pop up to take a role.

An d yes, I've heard of Shin Kamen Rider. I'm ambivalent towards it. Don't hate it, don't like it.

Many didn't like Shin Kamen Rider b'coz it has no henshin belt or Rider Punch or Rider Kick. But it gained a cult following b'coz they believe that of those who respect it for its fresh attempts and for perhaps being the utmost representation of Ishinomori's original vision.

Just want to share this:

Well, it's always been my belief that there is something seriously wrong with the purists. Apparently the story and characterization don't count for shit with what the actually character looks like. That is why I lol whenever said purists claim any form of New-Gen fan is superficial. :notrust

[Freiza]

wow...old thread


never heard of this..but can anyone tell me about it?

[Kamen_Raida]

wow...old thread


never heard of this..but can anyone tell me about it?

Well, naturally one of the easier methods would be to crank up the good ol Wiki. But, if you insist.

Ahem, Kamen Rider originally started out as a manga written by Ishinomori Shotaro, a student under good ol' Osamu Tezuka. It eventually became a TV series and became quite a hit with all the little boys. Now, Kamen Rider would've probably remained as something of a one-shot, and would've nevr boomed into the commodity it is now if not for one little slip-up.

See, the main actor Hiroshi Fujioka was the type of man that perferred to do his own stunts. Unfortunately, he seemed to have a little bit of bad luck on his side when he got a pretty nasty injury. So, a solution needed to be found. What was the solution? Introduce another Kamen Rider! And the, rest is history.

But, what actually IS Kamen Rider? Well, the original series basically went with this formula. Young man goes through an operation that transforms him into a cyborg, and said man uses his newfound powers to fight against an evil orginization that some way or another is involved with his transformation in the first place. Pretty formualic really.

Of course now, the storeis are a little.... VERY varied! (as is the story telling quality, but that's something more subjective than objective).

So, that explain it for ya?

[dspr8_rugged]

Yeah, just Wiki the damn thing, so that we won't do anything anymore. :P

Well, most toku actors have taken better roles after their toku stint. Just look at Hiro Mizushima for starters. He had a lot of other shows after Kabuto. I now think that some of them may just be taking toku as a stepping stone to popularity.

You do have a very good point there. But it also pays to remember that once said actors gain popularity, strangely enough they seem to forget any Toku roles they had. Now what does that tell you of how easily accepted a job as a Toku Actor is?

[dspr8_rugged]

Yeah, most like, they do forget where they come from. But Hiro Mizushima will be forever known to the fandom as the "guy who walks the path of heaven", even if he forgets it himself. Though I don't think he will.

As for Takeru Satou, he has done other stuff before his stint with Den-O. And as I said before, he has done A LOT in this series than any other Kamen Rider actor - sing, dance, do voice acting and most of all, act SIX different characters (Sieg included)!

That basically is the same case for any fandom. Really, not to be harsh, but that point is irrelevant when you put it in the big picture. A member of a fandom will always see an actor as the role he performed on said fandom. There's nothing new about that. We just happen to be part of an underappreciated fandom.

As for the case of whether he does choose to 'forget' it, the decisive factor is how much of a Kamen Rider fan he initially was. An even more decisive factor is if there would be those that'd allow him to speak ofhis career as an actor in the Toku genre. And there'd be many that would most likely not let him reveal that. It's just how the world works.

Doing alot in something does not equate to being the best in something. I'll admit it takes alot of skill to switch between those six personalities, and actually I do think he is quite good. It's just that his performance as 'normal' Ryoutarou is so lackluster that it pains me whenever he appears on screen like that.

Well, I never said anything about great. But you have to give credit to the guy. He has worked his ass off that much. And I agree that yeah, his main character is rather crappy. He is definitely better off "possessed".

Still, nothing beats the original.

I will have to admit, Takeru Satou IS a GREAT singer! I just love the Double-Action variations, although to be fair they are pretty average when it comes to the 'Battle Themes' of Kamen Rider in general.

And yes, Axe Form version is quite awesome :P

How the hell can a justifiable comparison be made of two shows THAT HAVEN'T EVEN AIRED YET!?

Yes, I'm sure there's the whole 'Wang Brothers' card that KRDK have, but you do realize that both KRDK and PRJF will more or less be targeted at the same audience, right? In which case, KRDK will be REALLY dumbed down from its original source!

As it is, the only one we DO know anything about is Kamen Rider Dragon Knight (and amittedly, I find it's plot very cheesy at the moment), and we know ZIP about Jungle Force. So pray tell, how the hell can we make an actual comparison!? If people start watching Dragon Knight, who's there to say that they'll start hating Jungle Fury? If we do get some information on Jungle Fury, and if said information does look disfavourably on Jungle Fury (in comparison to Dragon Knight, of course), then we can make the assumption that Dragon Knight would be perferred over Jungle Fury. But, as of now, it'd jsut be idiotic to jump to conclusions.

I actually liked the Hibiki oddly enough.... And no, the Orochi was not one of those things I liked.

The Hibiki movie actually seemed to know what to do with the time on its hand. Not that it was super good or anything, but it was at least interesting. I'd rank it just below Paradise Lost.

As for the Den-O movie, I get the feeling I'm gonna skip out on it. It just looks so.... convulted. That is, Kamen Rider Kabuto was convulted as well, but it least it gave something of an interesting premise. This.... it just feels like a cash-in movie (something along the lines of Project G4).

Either way, I wish you a Happy Birthday in advance. :)

Yeah, thanks very much!:amuse

I'm just hoping that the Wing Form will not only be a movie-exclusive, but it will be also included in the series as well.

I think Den-O has the most epic voice acting cast in the history of tokusatsu because they have:

Toshihiko Seki-seiyuu of Rau Le Creuset (Gundam SEED), Rey Za Burell (Gundam SEED Destiny), Ganjuu Shiba (Bleach), Umino Iruka (Naruto).
Koji Yusa-seiyuu of Gin Ichimaru (Bleach)
Kenichi Suzumura-seiyuu of Shinn Asuka (Gundam SEED Destiny), Hikaru (Ouran High School Host Club)
Shinichro Miki-seiyuu of Kisuke Urahara (Bleach)

[dspr8_rugged]

Well, I don't know how the Den-O movie will fare. Right now, the series itself doesn't have much of a "story", and hell, they even came up with a story for a movie.

Regardless of which, I'm still going to watch it.

[Kamen_Raida]

Shinichro Miki-seiyuu of Kisuke Urahara (Bleach)

As far as I'm concerned, Sieg can just STAY as a movie-only Imagin. Put it simply, I think Den-O's getting a little too crowded for its own good. And hell, I'm all for conflicting personalities, but not when absolutely nothing comes out of it. Just adding a new voice into the crowd would make things a mess not even worth cleaning up.

Shame though that quality voice acting can't make a good show. Really, the producers must be on some form of recreational drug to believe that how they're playing things at the moment work. The only thing I'm watching Den-O for is Zeronos at the moment. And that's just because I love the myth Zeronos is associated with. (What can I say? I'm a sucker when it comes to romance :P )

Well, I don't know how the Den-O movie will fare. Right now, the series itself doesn't have much of a "story", and hell, they even came up with a story for a movie.

Regardless of which, I'm still going to watch it.

Looking at the movie.... well, other than the inclusion of a new Rider, the movie looks like it'll end up like Project G4. Just a longer episode (give or take a few 'wow' moments ALA Den-O splitting into his four forms).

[dspr8_rugged]

Well, yeah, that's the biggest surprise that we see all of Den-O's forms separately. Wonder what caused it?

And yes, I also agree that Sieg/Wing Form should have remained as a movie-only character/Rider. I just feel that with so many characters, Den-O's development is rather messed-up.

Speaking of Sieg, I won't be surprised if Haku says something about Urataros and Sieg having a duel in Soul Society... if you know what that means. And heck the new guy is saying a Tendou Souji with his "The world revolves around me" thing...

Kamen_Raida: Hehe, do think Yuuto is a sucker in romance since he became Airi's fiancee?

dspr8_rugged: So the Wing Form is a movie-exclusive Rider form? I think 4 Imagins is enough in order to develop Ryoutarou's character. Although I want to have Wing Form in the series, I don't think that will be bad if that happens.:P

Hehe, maybe we'll see Rangiku fall in love w/ a Gin Ichimaru who has blue eyes, wears glasses, and a slight blue color in his hair (Uragin, a Urataros version of Gin Ichimaru) then he also fights the original yet evil Gin Ichimaru then finishes him with.... just a Rider Kick using his fishing rod.

We can also see an arrogant, princely Kisuke Urahara. I don't know if Yoruichi will react on that.:P

For Shinn Asuka and Rey Za Burrel, maybe they're gonna be great characters if they gonna rebel against Dullindal... with the help of their "other" selves: Momotaros and Ryuutaros.

Well, yeah, that's the biggest surprise that we see all of Den-O's forms separately. Wonder what caused it?

I'm guessing that the 'Form Seperation' can attribute itself to some time loop thing.... It worked for that 'Black RX: Stay In This World' special.

And yes, I also agree that Sieg/Wing Form should have remained as a movie-only character/Rider. I just feel that with so many characters, Den-O's development is rather messed-up.

To be honest, it's not the fact that there are so many characters that are bothering me. Just look at Ryuuki or Agito for that matter. Hell, look at Hibiki which has the most Riders to date.

The difference between Den-O and it's predecessors is the lack of conflict and growth. And when I say conflict, I don't mean the contrasting personalities the Imagin have.

Let's look at Ryuuki. The most Riders it had existing during the same period I believe were 8 (Ryuuki, Knight, Zolda, Ouja, Taiga, Alternative Zero, Imperer, Odin). What was the difference with Den-O? It was the fact that at least half of these characters were just downright antagonistic with each other. For Den-O.... well, the Imagins aren't exactly allowed to off each other now, aren't they?

You could say that that's the same case for Hibiki. But this is where growth comes in. The strongest example I can give would be Todoroki who started out from an amateur into an independant man. Den-O? Zip. They essentially were the same characters from how they started out. If the four main Imagin, and Ryoutarou for that matter can't be developed, then how the hell are things going to get better by introducing a fifth personality into the group!?



Hehe, maybe we'll see Rangiku fall in love w/ a Gin Ichimaru who has blue eyes, wears glasses, and a slight blue color in his hair (Uragin, a Urataros version of Gin Ichimaru) then he also fights the original yet evil Gin Ichimaru then finishes him with.... just a Rider Kick using his fishing rod.

We can also see an arrogant, princely Kisuke Urahara. I don't know if Yoruichi will react on that.:P

For Shinn Asuka and Rey Za Burrel, maybe they're gonna be great characters if they gonna rebel against Dullindal... with the help of their "other" selves: Momotaros and Ryuutaros.

.......You know, I don't even get half of the references you're pulling of here, nor do I even give a crap about them. Well, maybe I do get the BLEACH reference, but like I said before, I consider BLEACH a piece of crap

As for the other one, I'm going to assume it's a Gundam reference, and I've decided that ever since laying my eyes on G Gundam, that the only Mecha Anime worth watching is NGE.

Though really, making comparisons is nice and all.... but this is just getting ridiculous. :notrust

[dspr8_rugged]

Well, I do agree with what you said, especially the bit about Ryuki.

Maybe except for Hibiki since I haven't finished watching the damn thing yet. Thanks for spoiling stuff for me! :P

I really feel that Den-O is becoming another Kabuto. I mean, it has been feeding on gimmicks left and right, like these new Forms that spell new toys to sell, as well as too many songs in the soundtrack. Just too many gimmicks. Heck, I even heard that Airi and Naomi are going to sing another Double Action... Coffee Form that is... :huh

Well, at least Kabuto had an interesting first half. It was the second half that it started turning a bad. Hopefully, it would be the reverse for Den-O.

Gomen.:P But I can't help myself because I'm a guy who loves fandoms. I have a really good sense of humor and a good and wide imagination so maybe I have fanfic-making skills. Another example is that I can mix My-Otome with Dekaranger because Mika Kikuchi, Arika's VA, is the actress who played as Umeko/Dekapink. So it's fun for me. How's that?:)

But as you and dspr8 said, it really ridiculous for you two. But it's just me, ok?

[dspr8_rugged]

Well, not to be offensive, I'd appreciate if you leave your fandoms out of this thread as it's starting to annoy me. :notrust

[Kamen_Raida]

Well, I do agree with what you said, especially the bit about Ryuki.

Ooooops! Maybe I should spoiler tag any Hibiki-related information until you do finish watching it then. :P

Den-O is just letting Bandai decide where the stories move. It's been like that ever since Kamen Rider's revival. Just look at Kuuga who had a grand total of 11 forms! The big difference is that the forms actually meant something beyond looking nice. There advantages and disadvantages to them!

This was exactly the angle Den-O should have played (and in fact, I really believed they were going to play that angle) but.... well..... The only differences shown are, if at all existant, so subtle , it'd be easy to pass over.

I'm not so much bothered with the soundtrack to be honest. Although this news of a 'Coffee Form' variation does make me nod my head in a less than enthusiastic manner.

I too hope that Den-O becomes a 'Reverse Kabuto' by the end. If anything, I am very interested in Sakurai Yuuto at the moment. He's the only thing that keeps watching Den-O, to be truthful.

Although, ultimately, I must admit that the only Kamen Rider-related item I do hold any true interest in at the moment is The Next.

I wonder how it sounds like. For sure, it will be so annoyingly cute-sounding. :P

Well, even so, if you do insist on continuing this, you may as well just put it in spoiler tags for the benefits of others, said others simply being me and dspr8 seeing as no one else regularly posts here anyway).

For some reason, I think we'll be getting Imagin voice cameos for some good ol' Coffee Lovin. :P

Do you mean on the subject of Den-O actually not sucking by the end or on Yuuto?

[dspr8_rugged]

Actually, both. :)

[Haku_Taker]

I'm also hoping that Den-O will be brilliant in the 2nd half. I want more Ryuutaros and Momotaros action! :)

I love Hibiki so much. Many badmouthed that series b'coz of the concept but look at the cast: they're so amazing. Especially Yuichi Nakamura for his role as Kyosuke Kiriyama. And Shegeki Hosokawa, of course.

For Kamen Rider the Next, if I watch a Kamen Rider remake, I really enjoy it. I've watched Kamen Rider the First, and it's really good.

I want to see a Kamen Rider show that focuses to mature audience, just like GARO. :)

Meh, just leave it with Momo and kick Ryuu out. Sure, Ryuu's little dancing gimmick was amusing the first few times but other than that, what the hell does he do but pop up at random and blast things like some crazy fool? The guy just feels like a spent character.

Oh no, it wasn't the concept that sucked. It was the complete and utter lack of story (and on a more superficial level, the CRAP CGI). Hell, I love it too, but you can understand why people'd hate it. I just happen to be the type of guy that perfers character developement over story.



Meh, I considered The First too much of an emo fest. Sure there were some things I liked (Shocker, Snake and Cobra being those things) but otherwise, just so little seemed to be done about the TWO CENTRAL CHARACTERS, that it leaves so much to be wanted for.

Well, hopefully, if such a show does come out, it won't come to the level of suckage that was GARO. :notrust

would be nice to see the original series

Hey, how does GARO is a suckage to you?:oh

Well, for starters it was ridiculously formualic. The characters were one-note and to top it all of, the acting was AWFUL!

In the end, Garo=FAIL!

[Haku_Taker]

Oh really? But the only up in Garo is that it's the only toku show for mature audience.

And in speaking of Ryuutaros, although he's a crazy fool everytime he fights (causing a collateral damage), he's a trigger-happy yet a dangerous gunslinger. Of all the gunslinging badasses in tokusatsu, he's the only one who is groovy stylish (or there is someone who is more badass than him). While Dante is famous for being a stylish swordslahing and gunslinging badass in the world of videogames, Ryuutaros is a stylish gunslinging badass in the Kamen Rider universe.

Well that's just my opinion.:P

[The Sentry]

Dont u mean Masked Rider

[Kamen_Raida]

Oh really? But the only up in Garo is that it's the only toku show for mature audience.

It's amazing how easily people can be fooled by the 'Show for Mature Audience Line'.

Yeah, sure it may be designed for 'Mature Audience', but otherwise that alone does not guarantee a good story.

To put it bluntly, tell me how many pornos actually make sense. :notrust

..........Isn't a 'crazy fool' essentially the same thing as a 'dangerous gunslinger'? I don't really understand WHAT point you're trying to make here, but beyond being 'stylish', what other traits does he have that make him acceptable. And being voiced by Kenichi Suzumura is NOT a good reason.

Dont u mean Masked Rider

Well, to put it simply, Masked Rider used footage from Kamen Rider. Same deal with Sentai and Power Rangers. Except that Power Rangers is actually quite good at times while Masked Rider is an example of the Evils of Captalism!

HEIL FEUDALISM!!!!! :yell

Well, just as I said, it's my opinion, even I have or I don't have a point. That's it. Ryuutaros is my fav Imagin and he is is COOLNESS. Momotaros is a comedian but Kintaros brings the laughs sometimes.:P

Maybe Saban's Masked Rider will be better if they did like what they did in this awesome Power Rangers series.:amuse I'm hooked with this one:

Well, whatever floats your boat.

Although pardon me being that bit more harsh, but now I really do suspect that your reason for liking Ryuutaros IS because he's voiced by Kenichi.....

[Haku_Taker]

Not only that. Although he was or not voiced by Suzumura, Ryuu is still my favorite because I love hip-hop, rap and breakdancing. :)

At least Ryuutaros is not as annoying and whiny than Shinn Asuka...:notrust

[dspr8_rugged]

What Kamen_Raida said, Haku... whatever floats your boat.

I really don't agree that Ryuutaros is a "better person" than GSD's Shinn Asuka. They're both annoy me, IMO...

[Haku_Taker]

Yeah, ok.

But I love Kamen_Raida's new avatar. Everytime I watch a video of Kick Hopper, I always play the original Kamen Rider theme.
