Man....I really want to watch Fourze now. I just started W. I plan to watch Kiva as well as Fourze. Decade too. >_< I have Hibiki, but I stopped after a handful of episodes, I might pick it back up at some point. I got sucked into KR way too easily, lol.

Like Kouga's mansion in Garo was also the Kanzaki mansion in Ryuki. And you see that place in a ton of different Sentai and KR series. Last edited by Dr Kain; 05-30-2012 at 09:43 AM.. |

Hibiki is an amazing show, I definitely recommend that everybody watches all 29 episodes. |

Not really, you see a lot of locations reused in tokusatsu. I always thought it was kind of fun, personally. There's a pretty cool fountain that shows up in a couple of the early Heisei Rider shows, Kitaoka's house shows up again in Kiva, the warehouse where Ouja and Zolda have their final showdown shows up all the time, too. I recently finished Dairanger and started watching Dekaranger and I find it very cool that the Dairanger ending and Dekaranger opening both feature the teams driving around the same curved road.

Oh wow, so not even 20 mnutes after finishing Black I find out that someone has subbed it. -_-
As for Hibiki, uh, you mean 49 episodes right? And sorry, but I couldn't even make it through the first 15, so I will not be doing that show again. |

No he really does mean 29. Because the ending would have been absolutely fine at exactly episode 29 before the writing changed and the show went down hill. HARD.

And yeah, Century Kings completed subbing Black earlier this year. His own site has been down for awhile, but krdl has all the episodes. |

As for Black, I decided to start Kamen Driver Black RX tonight and watched the first five episodes. Oh boy, where to start? First, how did Kotaro go from this: to this: I mean seriously, his fashion sense went from badass to fairy in an episode. Secondly, uh... why are there aliens in a Kamen Rider show? Or rather, why are none of the monsters based off of earthly creatures? I swear that being dead for whatever amount of time must have had an effect on his brain, because Kotaro is an idiot in this series. Not to mention he is just living with some random family without any explanation (at least, I did not catch one) and he is always around the same damn annoying kids. It seems like this show was going to be a whole different series, but then Toei couldn't afford it so they just made it a Kamen Rider show and put Kotaro in it so they would not have to hire a new actor, but forgot to rewrite the character in the process. Oh, except for resurrecting Battle Hopper, making his sacrifice in the episode before pointless. Which even that seems to have been pointless as well since now Kotaro has made his version of Kitt. And where is Road Sector??? This show is a mess. It took everything that was great about Black and just spat all over it. I really hope it gets better because the next 42 episodes are going to be painful if it doesn't. On the positive side, I like Bosgun's design. |

Ugh... Black RX. I tried giving that show a far shake but I just couldn't get into it. Kotaro feels like a totally different character and while I like his girlfriend, the family he lives with annoy me to no end. Call me weird, but domestic abuse as comic relief just doesn't work for me. Replacing the kid of the week with one constant annoying kid character didn't do much for me, either.
The show as a whole is pretty weird. In a lot of ways it feels more like a Metal Hero show than Kamen Rider (especially with the alien villain council). It's probably not a bad show, but the decision to have Kotaro as the main character again forces it to be compared against Black, which is really to RX's disadvantage. I've heard before that adding Kotaro to the show was a fairly late stage development and that the show was originally going to star a different character. I'm not sure if that's just speculation or reality, but to me it would explain a lot of why Kotaro feels so different. |

So I am up to episode 18 of Knight Rider Black RX and so far, there has only been one episode I truly enjoyed. However, what is up with the monster designs? Black had incredible designs that look realistic and felt like threats. RX's monster designs appear lazy and half assed. Even BioRider and RoboRider look blah, and I don't like how Kotaro is trying to mimic a machine when he is transformed into RoboRider as if he were an actual machine.
