Kamen Rider: General Thread

Ho-ly Shit.

Cosmic State confirmed for best Super Form premiere ever. The sounds the sword makes when a switch goes in is awesome too.

FIIIIIIRE OOOOOON.

What episode does he premiere in (TV-N is still on 31)? I saw a group shot with him and the other forms and I still don't like him that much...

There's this rumor going around that next years Rider will be a magic painter and of course, all the good fans hate it.

32.

Overtime is much more superior to TV-N anyway since they actually translate things (Space Kita? Really?) (and it just takes them like...a day)

They used to translate it but decided against it for some reason or another. I'll switch when Fourze is over because I really dislike switching subs mid show.

Your call.

I can't stand TV-N and their Too Long; Didn't Dub nature.

Cool.

Hello thread.

After some assault by massive use of Riders in a couple RPs, I finally snapped and went to watch the shows

I have watched Decade from Henshin Fever facebook group and subs looked perfectly fine, but after the discussions I see in this thread I ask: how good are their Fourze subs?

Yeah, their Fourze subs are pretty good.

Okay, so far I've watched Kiva (the first series I picked... Because I laughed my ass off at the Otoya excerpts I managed to catch), Ryuki and, recently, Blade. I am now starting Den-O.

I enjoy this far more than I thought I would, actually.

Thought should bump the thread a bit so Kamen Rider Wizard; Any thoughts?

Personally, I think it's shaping up to be very good, since the plot so far has a good pace and the action is just fantastic.

Nice to see the police involved in the story in some way, even if they can't actually do much.

Also, Haruto seems to be channeling Kuuga with the upgraded forms(as opposed to different forms from the base one).

It's a week too late, but I wanted to comment on how Hilarious Santa Claus appearing in Episode 16 of Kamen Rider Wizard was. Just the way he reacted clear screamed WhatThefuck!!

Checked out the first episode of Wizard, and...eh. It actually looks good, but the toyetic aspects throw me out of it. Fourze, Double, and OOO made the Merchandise-Driven nature of the show work by being just over-the-top enough that those elements fit right in. Wizard looks like it's trying to be serious (if not necessarily dark), but then there's Wizard's giant handprint belt buckle that sings "Shabadoobie touch to transform!"...

So, I think I'll just finish Fourze and Kuuga instead of starting this one (at least for now).

Are my first impressions fair? Does Wizard loosen up or darken up as it goes on?

Wizard tends to be both serious yet goofy all at once. So a fair bit like Fourze though admittedly more serious than that.

a Little late again, but things are getting interesting, with the Draco timer, and now All Dragon.

Plus, how do you stop an immortal monster who comes back stronger every time?

KICK HIM INTO THE FUCKING SUN!!! That's how.

Jeez. That kinda power isn't supposed to be possible until the end of the series. Now people are going to wonder why Haruto doesn't kick everything into the sun.

Edit: spoilers activated.

Well, now I definitely need to catch up on Wizard

x2

Spoilers. And the answer is obviously that not every Phantom is as bad as Yuugo/Phoenix was.

Hey guys, I just read Shin Kamen Rider Spirits books 2-6. Bad news is, it's translated in Chinese (Or Mandarin, I dunno). Good news is, other than the plot FINALLY going further...

...Holy shit, you guys.

Oh my god, that last episode of Wizard was just disturbing. It's awesome.

Quite unexpected, episode 27 was.

yeah...

There's no way there gonna let her become a Rider though. At the least(despite the existence of other Female riders), I won't believe it until I see it.

Also Dude, be faster with the Draco Timer. You know how strong she is. Don't fuck around.

One can only hope though. A tv female Rider that DOESN'T die would probably place Wizard pretty high on the popularity scale of KR.

That, combined with his powers, and his Bad Ass Long Coat would further cement Wizard as my favourite series....

Now that I think about it, a female rider in this series would be more justified then any other. This is about magic, and magic has Wizards and Witches.

But boys won't want toys of GIRL Riders!!

In a world where grown men are buying toys of colorful ponies anything can happen. Plus, judging by what I've read about Movie Wars Ultimatum we'll be seeing the return of Nadeshiko so its a good sign of Toei coming around on that end.
