What's bad about Izu's? He does direct translation which I honestly prefer more compared to Overtime's styling.
Also, I don't really think anyone else's chiming besides Jawsubs. I think Genmcorp's stand down (for a while now, they really out of the picture), and Overtime isn't touching it either, IIRC. |

Without opening and ending song scene, they can put a lot more stuff in their first episode. Much more improvement from Saber, where we just know abit from touma (from flashback, and the rest is exposition one liner dialogues), incident happen, and then, henshin plus fight.
I wonder if without ending song, Saber could be better in pacing. (But on a good side, we can have 4 song from Skapara, so, yeah...?)

I like IzuSubs, perfectly fine to me. Granted I don't understand Japanese at all, hence the need for fansubs, but I think their approach of finding a middle ground between stylized and literal translation works out.

I'm not one to watch raw then repeat my watch with subs, so I'll wait until the subs come to comment here.

So I did not see anyone mention it, but my ability to spot things often fails me so sorry if it was already said.
The fact that the main antagonists home base is a nightclub setting, is very likely a homage to Devilman. For context: In Devilman the main character becomes Devilman by literally going to a night club with booze, drugs , dancing and sex, a place where humans literally let the devil inside them out. And that is exactly what is happening in the deadman base, it is a club where people let the devil inside out. ----- Right, all in all I loved the first episode, and I am really looking forward to see how this season goes, the action and suits look wonderful, and I especially liked the monster suits after looking at them for a bit, they have a real creep factor going.

Rant time: "Combi" is a localization of the Japanese term "コンビ," which is literally either "konbi" or "kombi," depending on which website you ask. It's a shorthand for "combination," and can be used as a term for a pair of people working together. TV-Nihon was using it as far back as the mid-00s for their fansub of Transformers Galaxy Force but it has turned up in some of their other work. The word drives me right up the fucking wall because "combi" isn't a word in English. English has a word that's shorthand for combination: "combo." There is absolutely no goddamn reason to use an anglicized spelling of a Japanese term when there's a perfectly serviceable English equivalent that is literally the same word with a different final vowel. You want to use "onii-san" instead of "mister," even though the latter would technically work in that context? Fine. You want to die on the hill that there's no translation for "itadakimasu?" Sure, knock yourself out. But creating a new word, with a fucking translation note, when there's an almost identical perfect equivalent in English is one of the o-baka-san-tachiest things TV-Nihon ever did and I am irrationally angry to see it resurface in Izu's Revice sub. Anyway. Really liked the premiere. I'm not a fan of the Revi/Vice suits; the designs are cool but that specific shade of pink is not working for me. The janky CGI dinosaur legs don't help, either. That said, I really liked the action scenes. Very fast and dynamic with some impressive camera work. I'm really digging Ikki as the protagonist. After 50 years I am astonished that we're seeing a main Kamen Rider whose family is not only alive, but an active part of the show. I am immediately reminded of Ultraman R/B - which isn't always a good thing, but I don't anticipate Revice having 90-second transformation sequences. I also like that the family knows about his powers, too, and that they appear to be his main motivational factor. I'm sure we'll get some conflict with the brother who was supposed to be the Kamen Rider at some point. Vice and his role in the show absolutely give me immediate Den-O vibes. I'm fine with that; it's been a long time since Momotaros and I always liked him anyway. Mechanics are a little different, but I think this part of the show is going to be a lot of fun. I probably had more to say, but I got a bit sidetracked with my fansub complaint. Suffice to say that I thought this was a strong first episode and I look forward to more. Oh, and um... I'm not the only one seeing this right? Please tell me that this isn't just me: |

Here's an interesting article from Mochizuki about it. Translation from /m/. EDIT: Is he a producer on revice? Google translating the linked page says he's a producer on other shows so that's what I'm assuming? Last edited by TheJaz; 09-05-2021 at 01:50 PM.. |

Solid first episode, yeah. It felt weird going back to the standard Rider fighting style after we've gotten a year of swordplay so that was refreshing to see.
I also like how shiny Revi is in particular, like as soon as he transformed you could just see all the lights in that room on his suit. I do like how public everything is though, it's very much an open war occurring. But I also like it in response to Ikki, the idea that he doesn't have to hide him being Revice from his family is good because it sidesteps any unnecessary drama for other stuff. Also I'm genuinely surprised at seeing a big family of five in Rider, it's great. Also honestly, if Fenix somehow doesn't end up becoming a big evil force after New Years, color me shocked because they seriously are setting off alarm bells already in my head. |
