Philip from Double. I was hoping it wouldn't happen, but then it did. It was quite emotional and I could even feel Shotarou's pain as he slowly de-transformed, watching the Xtreme memory fade away.
The very next episode fucked it all up, though.

I see everyone else is cheating too.
I agree wholeheartedly with this though. In terms of getting a genuine reaction out of me it the stuff I mentioned doesn't even come close. One of the most emotional scenes in Kamen Rider period. I actually knew going into W both that it happened and also that he gets better an episode later and that still didn't stop it from hitting as hard as it did. It's just that well done.

It's unpopular but, for me it's Emperor from Ryuki. It came late but it really showed the stakes of the game and the fact that you just couldn't "quit". It was a great, heavy episode.
Real quick, if anyone missed it - Kamen Rider was the second best selling toy franchise of 2016! This is great news going forward! http://ukiyaseed.weebly.com/ukiyasee...-japan-in-2016

This makes it even less of a surprise that Kamen Rider is getting so much more focus then Sentai is. |

I like the sound of that. I guess kids really liked Ghost's Eyecons. I mean, those things just kept coming and coming and coming. Maybe its because Ghost was the first show I watched as it aired, but it felt like there were a fuck ton of those things...
I already knew it did better then Sentai in sales but I didn't know it did this good. This makes it even less of a surprise that Kamen Rider is getting so much more focus then Sentai is. The thing is, Kamen Rider - it's a lot more open ended. All you need is a Driver system and the rest is kinda free reign. Sentai, conversely, needs a multiple member, color coded team, changers and a series of mechs. And that's the bare minimum, you can then get into the gender archetypes, Red-isms and other tropes that have become expected. The sum result can be pretty stale, particularly on the toy end. Sentai has a lot more baggage.

I think that's why you're seeing such a big change in the status quo with Kyuranger.
The thing is, Kamen Rider - it's a lot more open ended. All you need is a Driver system and the rest is kinda free reign. Sentai, conversely, needs a multiple member, color coded team, changers and a series of mechs. And that's the bare minimum, you can then get into the gender archetypes, Red-isms and other tropes that have become expected. The sum result can be pretty stale, particularly on the toy end. Sentai has a lot more baggage. Rangers, both Sentai and Power Ranger, on the other hand are exclusively team players. While the sixth ranger may have some wiggle room, a single ranger by themselves is almost no threat to any monster, no matter how powerful they are. Heck, you can take the single, weakest ranger out of their team and, no matter how many members are still left and how powerful they're supposed to be, they'll still be steamrolled by any monster. That's why I have such a problem with recent Sentai giving such large focus to the Red ranger. It feels as though they're taking toy ideas from Kamen Rider without reworking to fit Sentai. Why does a single member of the team need to be so much better then everyone else while the show continues to shove down our throat that, apparently, this is a team effort. I get it, Red's the mascot of the team and he'll always get more stuff then everyone else. That doesn't mean you have to devalue every other member of the team. I'm sorry I made such a long rant about Sentai in the Kamen Rider thread. I've just been holding that in for a while and the above comment opened a flood gate. P.S. Take a look at the Zyuohger's arsenal. Its depressing how little the 4 Zyuman have left if you take out every item and ability shared by the team as a whole. |
