Well, that's it for Wizard.

Like I said, it's the first Kamen Rider Series where I've watched every ep.

I missed the first two of Fourze, but saw everything from Ep 3 onwards.

Nitou got screwed again, but seeing all those dudes fighting together was cool. Still, I felt like things crapped out in the end. I also knew full damn well who that kid was supposed to be. It's not like it wasn't obvious.

Not sure about Gaim, but I guess I check it out. See if the Fruit rider is something to watch out for.

I've never seen Kamen Rider, but i plan on watching Gaim because I love Gen's work.

The fruit theme reminds me of Fresh Pretty Cure.

New to the Kamen Rider series? I could recommend some of the previous entries if you want, I would say "You won't be disappointed", but everyone have different tastes.

Ah, a Precure fan too, eh? Wish they have a crossover with Kamen Rider already; it could be done like in Roger Rabbit or something, I know it'll work XD

... Which reminds me, I really need to continue my fanfic Kamen Rider Kuuga: Rising Unto the Stars fanfic [lol]

Say guys, according to Jefusion, Toei did plan to get either Odagiri Joe (Original Kuuga) or Fourze's actor to appear instead of Decade, how do you think the story would be like if they did so?

Really. Classic Kuuga huh? That would have been interesting.

But he costs way too much these days doesn't he? I believe that is the reason he never comes back....I think. I hear a lot of stories about why he never comes back.

Yeah, indeed it will be. Too bad they don't have the budget for it.

Kinda like the original Ryoutaro from Den-O's actor; his agencies probably charged Toei too much, even though he loves being Den-O

Nah, dude likes his role. Orendsrange http://www.orendsrange.com/2012/11/joe-odagiri-like-his-role-as-kamen.html

So the reveal of the "Peach Energy Arms" Lockseed has sparked rumours that Gaim is going to get a female Rider at some point.

Thoughts on this?

Personally, I'd like it to be a proper mainstream Rider rather than a movie exclusive one. Which is a bit hypocritical considering Nadeshiko is probably my favourite Rider to date.

Hm...

Well, Wizard and Fourze seem to be solid indicators that the Female Rider Curse is all but broken now... Buuuuut this is Urobuchi we're talkin' about and he's also mentioned a return to the old-school Heisei era...

I would actually like Peach to be a regular Rider too... Actually, I have a headcanon that says Griton is a female Rider.

OK, there's also a Cherry Energy Arms Lockseed too.

A lil' bit I noticed: at the beginning of the episode, the DJ has Orange and Banana seeds... And then Gaim gets another Orange seed from the forest. I wonder if it will get used later in the plot.

I'm thinking that all the Lockseeds are compatible with the Sengoku Driver, which opens the pathway for stuff like Himawari Arms...

wild mass guessHimawari Arms gives you a stick to whack people with. Like... A stick that's used for campfireswild mass guess.

Also, the secondary Rider Belt for this season has been revealed.

... I just had Fridge Horror with the fact that 1) a female Rider uses the driver, 2) Zangetsu also uses the driver, and 3) Zangetsu is described by Gen as "The Ohja Of Gaim".

What if the female rider appears in show... then gets killed by Zangetsu and takes her driver?

This is a Kids' show. We are not having GRIMDERP in a Kids' show.

This show is already on a knife-edge for me. If Gen falls back into formula then it goes in the bin as far as I'm concerned.

I do agree that it's (highly) improbable that it'll happen. If anything, they'll do the Mage thing and have the movie incarnation and the show incarnation of the drivers be totally different.

But, for a kid's show, Kamen Rider has gotten away with a lot of dark stuff...

That's too obvious. Then again, considering they did the Evil Mentor trope four years in a row, I can guess that they'll do that... But it's fun to guess he becomes Griton.

The juicer belt looks like it goes to the Super Modes.

Also based on above, wild mass guessIf a person wanders into Invess forest and eats the fruits there, they become an Invess.wild mass guess Critics of 'grimderp' are free to quit the ride at any time tongue

You know, I don't appreciate being told that I'm not allowed to watch the show because I don't like things randomly going dark for no reason at all. I actually want to like this show, for crying out loud.

And I don't appreciate any hint of darkness, of serious stakes in the show being met with "Oh no, it's GRIMDERP, the show is Ruined Forever".

Meanwhile, nobody is "forcing" you to anything. Just your choice.

Oh... my... God...

Tasaki added that Takebe asked Urobuchi to go back to early Heisei, and together, they put a lot of Heisei references in the first 2 episodes. This includes the use of multiple riders similar to Kamen Rider Ryuki, and the similarities between 555's Smart Brain and Gaim’s Yggdrasill. "The truth is, it’s all Urobuchi’s trap. He’s building up a story that most fans are used too, only to tear it down with new and surprising twists."

It refers to Urobuchi's more well known works.

So I just watched Gaim.

Wonder what happened to his buddy. Is he dead?

Also, the Forbidden Fruit reference has me interested. Suddenly, the fruit motif, while odd makes sense.

And finally, I haven't seen a rider so clumsy with his abilities since....

Well, Kuuga wasn't at his strongest in his first battle, and Ryuki was in blank form. I gotta say, that Kouta really had to learn as he went here, and I kinda liked it.

There's definitely a bit of Deconstruction there. He's really gonna have to grow into the role.

So yeah, I'm ready to play the gaim.cool

In fact, it's all about the game and how you...

strangerthenever: I'll probably start out with Ryuki (which my brain interpenetrates as Ryo-oki because it's been to Madoka. I already have an idea of what the franchise is like: Power Rangers on motorcycles.
