From what I remember of your conversations in this thread (granted, I haven't read this thread in a month or two), except for when you started watching W, we have very different tastes when it comes to movies and TV. Or at least, I'm much easier to please.
So, I'm not really surprised that you didn't enjoy something that I really did. |

Decided to watch the first three episodes of Kabuto on a whim. They were entertaining so far. The concept of Worms is pretty creepy. Also, this is the only series I've seen with outright aliens it seems. From a meteor and everything. But I've only gone through the first three episodes, so who knows their true origin?
Tendou...this guy. This a weird personality choice for a main character! I'm not sure who's idea it was to make a MAIN character who brags about how good he is at everything and then constantly be proven right, but it's...an interesting one. I don't hate him so far, mostly because his attitude is hilarious, but it does get a little grating at times. It sorta feels like Kagami should be the main character. The story follows him enough and he's the one with the tragic backstory while Tendou has a personality that seems reserved for secondary Riders. Still, it's interesting. Also, if all the worms can clock up, do they ever...y'know...just try to attack Tendou while he's transforming? Or before he gets the vector? Not that it matters int he end, The super speed fights are pretty cool and a pretty interesting twist on the fight scenes. And Tendou's roundhouse Rider Kick is probably the most unique I've seen. I gotta get used to it though. |

I found out that some fansub group called MrStone is subbing Black Rx and they have the first 40 episodes out, so I downloaded them and watched the first five today. The show isn't all that much better subbed than raw, but a few things make more sense now. Of course, I really just do not understand the purpose of Rideron when Kotaro has Acrobatter. Also, they never state what happened to Road Sector. However, the biggest thing that bothers me is how Kotaro's personality is completely the opposite to that of his in Black. It is like he is an entirely different person as the goof ball prankster and idiotic bits just do not fit him. Not to mention he is suddenly able to build a super advanced car from basic materials.

You pretty much listed the majority of the issues I have with that series. It's almost like they were planning for a new Rider series and shoehorned the idea of it being a continuation of Black simply based on popularity. Any ties to the previous series feel really tacked on and not natural, and important questions are never answered. Like where the hell is Katsumi and Kyoko? Are they still in California? Even if they couldn't get the actresses back, at least mention them. As for Rideron, I can see the point of it since it does do things Acobatter can't, but I want to know how the hell he got the thing to work. More specifically, how the hell did he get it into that cave under the ocean? I'm pretty sure Whale Mutant didn't install some car elevator. *sigh* I had to stop after that episode, I couldn't take it anymore. I love RX's designs, I like in theory the idea of continuing on Kotaro's story, but I hate the execution of it. I reject their canon and substituent my own. |

You can feel free to substitute your own canon. Even Decade said that, despite looking alike, Black and Black RX aren't the same person, despite, you know...Being the same person.
So not even Toei knows what to do with them

I plan to watch Black RX and I want the renewal figure, but can I just say that RX has one of the weirdest designs ever for a helmet? I swear it looks like the helmet has buck teeth

I'm actually fine with how the mouth is. What gets me about the helmet is the neck...

I don't think the mouth is a bad design, I just find it utterly hilarious that it has the appearance of buck teeth.

Oddly enough that's the part I like most. Looks like a grasshopper. I always assumed the RX suit was trying to look more like the Manga version of Black and the original concepts for the show. Although they at least had the sense to make the neck in sections so it could bend, if albeit very little. |
