Kamen Rider: General Thread

What's the current Rider show like?

Doctors saving patients from monsters with the power of videogames. Sounds ridiculous, but I like the way it somewhat addresses work ethics and... The plot is improving. :3

Indeed. It does seem to be picking up quite a bit.

It's somewhat reminding me of Gaim: seemingly dumb premise, but it look like it could turn out really well.

And this is without Urobuchi at the helm.

Unlike Gaim, however, the suit design went full garish plastic rather than cool armors.

This is true.

That being said, Dangerous Zombie and Mighty Bros. XX don't look too bad.

The former especially.

I agree with all of the above, though I kinda understand if someone doesn't like Mighty Brothers XX due to not liking the previous designs.

It's harder to argue about the coolness that is Dangerous Zombie, though.

I've kind of grown to like the garish Ex-Aid armours. They're ridiculous, yes, but this is a show about doctor-gamers fighting living video game monsters so it isn't that hard to just embrace it, although I can understand why some people might not like it. Dangerous Zombie is a pretty great design though.

Also, some kind of extra thing staring Brave coming up with the return of Ouja including live actor and a few other riders which are probably empty suits. Also a prequel for Snipe.

*googles*

Ok, Dangerous Zombie looks good, I'll give them one.
Double looks better than the base, but only byt a bit.

Hold on! Beast (and to a lesser extent Sasword) are good guys! Why are they there with all the other villains?

Probably more brainwashing.

Also, Kamen Rider Blade Gundam.

Ahh, Exia. My favourite Gundam.

Also, GIS picked up slightly higher res and better compression versions - [1]◊ [2]◊ [3]◊

Ex Adi 15:

Niko gets so sick of Taiga not defeating M that she tries to transform and fight him herself, only to get Game Disease. The Bugster that shows up can't be defeat by Emu (he keeps missing). The events of the movie (Dr. Pacman giving Emu game disease) do tie in to the series (which hasn't been a thing since Fourze), and Para-DX stomps everyone after Taiga and Hiro try to defeat Emu (most likely to take care of his Game Disease).

Shit has gotten complicated.

I found kinda funny that Para-DX's Gashat Gear Dual has voice clips with Surprisingly Good English

Come to think of it, most of the Riders would fair pretty well against Resident Evil Zombies. Especially the ones with really big arsenals.

Just imagine it.

Faiz VS Nemesis.

Hongo Takeshi VS Albert Wesker.

Kiva VS Alexia.

I could go.

I guess one of the perks of reaching Level 50 is better voice acting for the Gashats

So, in other words, I'll have to find the movie somewhere, since it's relevant to the main series. I don't think it'll be that hard to find, but aww, man... :(

Is it just me or is the voice for the Puzzle/Fighter gashat the same as the voice for Necrom's eyecon-device (the one that goes "Tengan. Necrom")?

You'll have to wait. It'll be a while before there's a sub of it.

Speaking of the movie, I think I mentioned it before, but the last time so many riders were gathered together in one film, was the Wizard / Fourze movie, which is funny because old Haruto was the junior rider in that movie.

Now he's on the other end of it, being the most senior of the five in terms of experience. Kinda funny how that worked out.

Also, we've finally caught up to that version of Gentaro's timeline in universe as well (something I've focused on before), so if we ever see him again, we'll need to hear about how he got the Fourze driver back.

No? The Gaim crossover movie was the most recent movie with the largest amount of Riders.

AAAAHHH AFTER TEN THOUSAND YEARS I HAVE RETURNED!!

IT'S TIME TO POST SHIT ONCE AGAIN AND BERATE THE WHIPPERSNAPPING FANS THAT ARE YOU LOT!

Really though, glad to finally return here. Old laptop is old. And busted, so I bought a new one to make things fast again. But currently using the old one since I haven't bought a USB stick to transfer my important data to my new one.

But for now, The Stranger has returned.

Ex-Aid! The amount of 90s nostalgia from the design pleases me. Kiriya's fate saddens me, Para-DX is a pretty cool Rider design—love how the device actually speaks proper English. Loving this show.

Am I still writing fanfics, yes I do! Two new ones in the works; a Senran Kagura x Kamen Rider ZX and this big one:

Ultraman Orb x Zone Of The Enders x Super Robot Wars V

The title will be Ultraman Orb: Voyage of the Enders.

Do you mean Wizard X Gaim with the Bujin Riders, or Hesei vs Showa?

Technically, Lets Go Kamen Riders and the first Super Hero Taisen would have it beat (being that even Hesei vs Showa only had the main riders of each series, along with Kaito, Micchy and Takatora from Gaim).

To be fair, I mean that this was the first time since Wizard's movie that so many Riders were gathered together in a Movie Wars movie, as opposed to the later movies (like the aforementioned Super Hero and Kamen Rider Taisen movies).

I mean Wizard x Gaim with the Bujin Riders, yes. The newest Movie Wars is the first one since then with more than just the current and most recent Rider around, albeit that isn't saying much since Wizard x Gaim was only three series ago.

Fair enough.

I guess I didn't count Wizard and Gaim because (sans Wizard, who still had a Bujin counterpart) the Bujin riders technically weren't the actually Riders that we know...as far as we know. We never saw any of them when they weren't transformed.

In regards to Ex-Aid, I am so, so thankful that it is more like Faiz/Gaim rather than Wizard/Ghost in terms of tone and the like. Good to know that the writers for this show understand that grit is essential for a KR series, even if kids are still the target audience.

Too bad nobody told most of the suit designers

I can't help but feel the suits seemingly being contrast to the tone was done on purpose.
