That scene alone made the epilogue worth it for me. Really put how much damage had been done into perspective.

I actually think some of the early Rider shows were much more inventive than the modern ones. Due in part to special effects and budget limitations, it required a lot more creativity to get cool effects than we see nowadays with everything defaulting to CGI. The first block of the original series, before Fujioka's accident, had some especially interesting cinematography that's unrivaled by anything in the Heisei era outside of Hibiki.
So far, I've only seen about 15 episodes of the original Rider, 1 episode of Amazon, and the rest is all Neo-Heisei, so I don't really know what late Showa and early Heisei are like to compare...but even though I can appreciate the classics and the dated special effects, Neo-Heisei is definitely easier to watch than early Showa. I've been being drawn more and more towards Ryuki lately. I was gonna watch Fourze next (i've already seen some and I liked it) but Ryuki is calling to me.

Plus, you can come back to this thread when you're done to complain about the TV finale, and I can explain why it's actually a great ending. That being said, if you liked what you saw of Fourze, it only gets better as it goes on. Oh, and also, TVN's subs for Ryuki kind of blow. I know I was defending their newer stuff a little bit ago but the character voice in their Ryuki subs is crap, and there's blatant mistranslations, not all of which are minor.

I fucking hate the concept of novel-exclusive forms. The novels aren't NEARLY as accessible for non-Japanese fans, and it'd be cool seeing those stories. But then they need to be special and make stuff up like this
The design itself is pretty cool! But I'll never be able to see it in motion or see it fight, like Ryuga Survive and such. Would have been great, but no. Fuck people who don't read.

Wait was that a novel exclusive form?! I thought it was just a fan-made figure like the better looking Type Heart.

You know what I'm annoyed about, the Rider Damashii from the Kamen Rider Ichigo Movie. Like I know they wanted to tie the Legend Rider Eyecon specials and the Movie together for the 45th anniversary, and the scenes where they appeared was cool.
Mostly because they used their powers pretty effectively and they used music relevant to each rider as well. But I feel like we could have had a really cool Heroic Damashii fight scene during the climatic battle. Like Edison electrocuting enemy soldiers, Houdini wrapping them up in chains, Beethoven, Nobunaga, so on. I mean we did get Toucon Robin Hood finally, which was nice after we saw scans of it like forever ago. |

Really, you can do that? I actually thought the ending was fine if not a little irritating because of the whole retcon nature of it. The part I absolutely can't deal with is the origin of the Mirror Monsters. It's brain melting.

It's really pretty straightforward and I wish people didn't have an averse reaction to endings like that just because they usually don't serve that much of a purpose. Even I was a little thrown off by it at first, to be honest, but in retrospect it really fits the show thematically. The Mirror Monsters, unfortunately, I cannot justify. I mostly try not to think about it. It's not too important, anyway. They're there so the Riders have something to beat on for 50 episodes.
