If it makes you feel better, Keisuke’s actor and the actress who played the twins got married in real life. Their son auditioned for the lead role on Agito.

Watched the Hibiki movie since it introduces a new power-up. The movie is nice, obviously based on Seven Samurai, but of course if it wasn't for the new power-up I would not have watched it.

EDIT: And they changed the opening and took away the ending, and CGI battles, oh yeah, now it shed everything the original Hibiki had off. Last edited by SHINOBI03; 09-22-2020 at 11:30 AM.. |

Watching more Kamen Rider, and I gotta say...I can see why the ratings were on the decline prior to Nigou's introduction
It's so bland and repetitive, even for a 70's show. I might just skip forward to Nigou's intro since I'm just so bored with these early episodes.

Finally finished all of Hibiki. Not going to lie, the last third was a huge downgrade of a very unique looking Rider series as they said. The plot was very boring I was just watching the episode just to see how it ends.

I was without my laptop for, like, a month and a half, so that REALLY derailed my plans... but I've decided that weekly, I'm going to be rewatching both Kamen Rider OOO and Kamen Rider Ghost; in celebration of their 10th and 5th anniversaries respectively. I'm trying to match each episodes to their air dates; and of course about 9 episodes of OOO have gone by already going by that, so I'm deciding to 'catch up' with those by watching them every 2 days to simulate a similar non-binge feeling. OOO is a season that if you've talked to me for more than a couple seconds you'll quickly find out is my favourite Rider show. Scratch that, favourite Tokusatsu. In fact, like, scratch that; just my favourite show in general! It's something I enjoyed a lot when I watched it, and over time I kept reflecting on it and finding more things to love about it. This is a common thread with Kobayashi shows for me, by the by -- Shinkenger, Den-O, Toqger, Ryuki; all of them I ended up adoring eventually. But all that said, OOO is the third Kamen Rider I ever watched, and now having seen all 20 Heisei Riders, Zero-One, and also Amazon and Black (I should um, really watch some more Showa), I think it's about time I gave those earlier shows a watch. And what better time than the anniversary? I'm especially interested in finding out how much of the show really holds up to me and if I've been convincing myself it's better than it actually is, as that's always a bit of a paranoid fear I have -- that I've put on rose-tinted glasses for anything I love. But having now rewatched 2 episodes, yeah, this is super stunning! We've still yet to get to the really juicy stuff of course, but I can tell I'm in for a fun time. Ghost on the other hand is... well, I can't say it's at the exact opposite end of the scale, but it's absolutely a show that I came away disliking the first time. But on reflection, and taking in inputs from a lot of people I typically agree with... I'm nnnot quite sure why. Like, looking back, one or two of the issues I had stand up (I'm not fond at all of the places Specter's parent narrative goes), but a lot of my issues were very much related to mechanical plot details when usually I'm someone who doesn't actually care about plot as much as I do about the meaning embellished within. So, once again with the anniversary being perfect timing; I want to give this one a shot! Due to air dates I haven't started rewatching yet (that'll be at Episode 5 of OOO, kind of interesting how they're off by a month), but I'm interested in seeing where it goes. Something that does immediately come to mind though is that Ghost from what I recall is generally about the same sort of things OOO was, not to mention many other series I enjoyed like Fourze and Den-O! So I'm hoping to find something positive in here. Even if I don't though, and I come away disliking it just as much if not more than before? Hopefully I'll have a much clearer idea this time. And, hey; isn't it kind of within the spirit of OOO to reach out to something you initially weren't fond of and try to understand it better? I won't be doing my own thread for this - I did consider it, but between laptop issues and a lot of other things I just think I'd be too exhausted to do an episode-by-episode thing in a way I feel satisfied with - but I'll hopefully be popping in here every now and then. I'm looking forward to this; this is the first time I've watched ANYTHING on a weekly non-binge basis before Lupat and Build, so that should be pretty interesting in and of itself! Gonna be quite something finishing OOO at the same time as Saber, though... anniversary scat OP buddies!

Oh is that the reason for your signature? I just thought you found Specter's cosplay there to be especially stylish!

Well, I mean, that too! The Damashii are definitely up there as some of my favourite Legend Rider gear

Restarted Kuuga. I binged way too much awhile back and I quit only 6 episodes in. So I'm restarting... and having a blast.
See... Kuuga and Agito are the only Rider series from the Heisei I haven't seen. So I'm fixing that. After those two are done, that'll be all Heisei including available movies and specials. |
