More Kuuga. 3 and 4.
Stuff is going on, but I still don't know why. Part of the mystery, fine. Fine. We're introduced to a group of 4 monsters that gathered because of a 5th, rose based monster's petals. I don't know why. One of them, cheetah themed, perhaps, goes on a rampage...Because. She bites the dust and Kuuga gives a thumbs up. I don't want to sound overly negative or cynical, but by having the villains be completely unintelligible, I learn of the story at the same rate as our heroes. That's all well and good, right? Wrong. Because by giving the villains scenes where they talk with one another in a made up language with no subtitles or context, it's a waste of time. It's only about 2 minutes worth of an episode, so it's not a big chunk, but I feel like it's pointless. Why am I watching scenes that intentionally made for the audience to not understand? It's not advancing the story. "Kuuga is a mystery-thriller most. Emphasis on the mystery" I am not enjoying the parts with the Grongi. I seriously hate any scene where they speak. Anyway, I'm glad Kuuga straight tells the detective who he is, so there isn't a forced mystery aspect there. I also enjoy their relationship, with the detective trying to do his job to the best of his ability, but eventually relents and lets Kuuga fight. It was nice to see the bike get some love, too. Current series only show them off in chases, but it was pretty interesting to see a legit fight involving the bike. Wasn't anything to write home about, but still enjoyable.

I mean, I'm in no hurry to watch the rest, so I guess I'm not complaining...but they've done literally just three episodes of the original since 2013 ended. Doesn't seem like they're in much of a hurry at all at this point. Quote:
Also, I know it's old, and I know it was on a shoestring budget. Those are explanations for potential flaws, but they are not excuses. Even making as many allowances as I can to account for when and how it was made, it's just such not a good series. Last edited by barnstenchfartface; 08-07-2015 at 05:46 PM.. |

Nah, I don't mind the suits at all honestly. Pretty much all of them are super goofy, but I usually just find them amusing if not outright charming in their weirdness.
The sounds I take issue with. And...the rest of the series at times. As far as my grievances go, the suit designs aren't even an issue. |

Just finished watching GP taisen unsubbed, everything was great till the second half where everything seemed rushed. Kamen Rider Sangou is a badass all throughout the movie and makes me wonder if he'll ever make an appearance ever again.
Also I try to watch Kuuga here and there but just can't get in it because of the grongi scenes and solo rider. I think its better with these scenes tbh adds mystery and more heroism to Kuuga but I'm just spoiled by the abundance of riders in Kabuto xD. Only reason I keep going back to it is because Godai(mainly) is such a great character with a positive attitude that you can't help but get attached to the guy. The rest of the cast is great as well especially the officer(whose name escapes me) definitely compliments Godai's powers. |

Thinking I need to rewatch all the Showa Era Kamen Rider from beginning to end with my two youngest sons.

Kuuga 5 and 6.
So a grasshopper Grongi tears the place up by lifting people and then throwing them from great heights. Cool. So a couple major developments occur, mainly in the woman translating more of the language, and us getting our first taste of a new form, Kuuga's Dragon form. I think it's neat, trading away power for speed and ability. Anyway, like the other 4 episodes, there isn't much to talk about since the plot hasn't started yet, and if it has, I wouldn't know because I can't understand the villains when they do discuss it.
