Now for Takeru Satou I'm fairly certain he had health concerns. But he also originally intended to only be Den-O through Saraba Climax. Which was originally the finale of the franchise. He never agreed to do more and was already on another TV show by the time Neo Generations with Decade was being made. So they used the young Ryutaro from the TV series and explained it as someone messing with the past. And by the time we got to the Let's Go Kamen Riders movie with OOO, Momotaros had become completely associated with Sword Form. And Takeru Satou was filming Ruroni Kenshin so he was totally unavailable. So for all intents and purposes Momo is Den-O now as they've written out the younger Ryutarou too.

Just watched the W Net films, I'd recommend them just for the Kirihiko parts. Man, even when he's dead Kirihiko always gets it.
And now I'm about to watch the A to Z movie & after that I'll be entering the final stretch of W. Now just a few questions: 1. Is the Directors cut of A to Z worth watching, or is the movie fine as is? 2. About the W/OOO movie, since everyone here has said that the OOO part of that film has pretty much nothing to do with the series itself, is it okay for me to watch it without getting any major spoilers? I'm only considering watching it because I have a thing about watching a movie start-to-finish. Last edited by Destroyman; 06-03-2012 at 04:41 AM.. |

The OOO portion does spoil minor details, but really it would only spoil some of OOO's forms (which this board has probably already done for you ).

Started watching OOO last night, really liking it.
I'll probably go back and give W a try when I'm done. |

First up, I watched the Eternal movie last night. I thought it was pretty good because of the Foundation X build up. If they weren't involved, it would have been all right. I thought it was better than Accel though, which was quite good nonetheless. I have to say, the gay guy of NEVER was probably my favorite character of the movie. However, I'm not really sure about them killing Utopia and then saying they are going to use the files from NEVER to bring him back. That seemed weird since he showed no signs of being one in the series itself.
And then I have finished Black Rx. The last batch of episodes were decent, pretty good, but awkward. There really seemed to be no reason for the other Kamen Riders to be there other than for the sake of having them there. Kotaro still pretty much did everything on his own, and there were times that they did not want Kotaro to just go running out on his own to defeat a monster because he may die doing so. That was weird, but not as weird as none of them noticing there were two Ichigo's except for the idiot cook dude. However, the final battle was nice, and I have to say that I was surprised that they actually killed off the parents in the second last episode. I expected it to just be they were alive, but the kids thought they were dead. That was nice to see a surprise from the series and it is a shame the series did not have more of those earlier on. The final battle was meh though, as seriously, why can't the Japanese just have a normal creature for the true ruler of an emprie? Gorgom had a heart, Crisis had a giant head. I understand he likes to be ahead of everyone else, but come on. Overall, the series was pretty lackluster. The villians barely did anything until the last bit of the show, Kotaro really felt out of character at times, and the show was just way too goofy. I can see why Saban decided to adapt it into Masked Rider, as it is the most kid friendly of the Kamen Rider series I have seen. The comedy really felt out of place in this show, and for being a follow up to Black and starring the same character, it was an insult. I hated the return of Shadow Moon, even if Nobuhiko was indeed dead, as it still diminished his character (although I do love his grasshopper spurs, when they worked). One of the things I loved the most about Black were the Monster of the Week designs. They looked so realistic and really felt like animals, whereas here, some of the designs were cool, but they felt lazy or boring compared to what Black gave us. In fact, I would have preferred someone from Gorgom appeared instead of Shadow Moon, trying to recreate the fallen empire, and then having to deal with Crisis as well. That would have been far more interesting. Plus, there seemed to be no reason for Shadow Moon's return, since he was only in 2 episodes and then died again. The rider forms were all right, but their reasons for existing did not make sense. I understand the story behind it, but I mean, they were pretty much just there to use as gimmicks over anything else. If there is one thing the show did well at though, it was having a strong female cast that does not get captured every few episodes. I loved Black, but I was really getting sick of Zelda and Peach after a while. On the other hand, it is insulting that they never brought those two back, even for a cameo role, Kotaro never even thinks of them. In the end, the show should not have been a Kamen Rider show, or at the very least, not starred Kotaro. For the most part, now that I have seen the show, I'm going to ignore its existence as much as possible and move on. BTW, I am wondering, how did Saban's adaptation of this show handle the other riders? Or did the show not even make it that far? I only watched the first 3 or 4 episodes to it and never went back to it, so I barely remember anything from it. Last edited by Dr Kain; 06-06-2012 at 11:34 AM.. |

So I just watched probably the worst thing Kamen Rider related I have ever watched. It was a movie called Kamen Rider ZO, and I am not sure which is worst, the fact that Nihon decided to fandub it with some of the worst fandub acting I have ever experience, or the fact that it was just down right aweful to begin with. I mean, where to start? The effects were cheap, the editing was horrible (there are scenes that just fit, as the kid turns around to start running and falls in the middle of the woods, what?), and the fights were uninspiring. Thank the gods this movie was only 30 minutes because I wouldln't be able to take much more of it.
