This only happens in the early episodes, I think the first three or something.

Well I have now finished Hibiki's first episode. And I have deduced that this is the weirdest Kamen Rider I have ever seen. I'm probably going to be saying what the hell a lot.

The shots of the landscape do look quite beautiful though, and I love the ending theme.

:lol

In terms of Hibiki, whether I finish it or not remains to be seen. The show is fine, great even but between TVNs encoding and translation I find Hibiki in places genuinely painful.

From dialogue kept so close to Japanese (as in grammar, cultural humour etc) with no attempt to localise anything, it may as well just be in Grongi. You can write a sentence in English, but a translation is more than just using English words, that is why google translate is shit.

And if that wasn't bad enough, this superhero show has quality so poor, all the superheroics are literally unwatchable as you can't see what the flying fuck is happening.

It's nice to be watching an older show that a few people are watching for once :lol

Try the alternate subs on YouTube that got mentioned a few pages back. They'll only get you to 16, but the ride will be much smoother.

I'm guessing you haven't seen Den-O yet then? :lol

I've seen Den-O. But Hibiki is taking the cake in my opinion.

The only reason I've been avoiding them is if I watch good subs for the first sixteen episodes it's only gonna be that much more painful when I have to switch back to TVN.

... I need to watch Hibiki then. :lol

Right, episode six of Hibiki before I call it a night! This show sorta reminds me of Kuuga...but good.

Hibiki is fast growing as my all time favourite Rider. From his gorgeous Oni form and the way his actual turning into a monster makes him stand apart, especially with his wild drumming fighting style. But out of suit he's so charismatic and funny that he rises above the bad translation and awful video quality. Just a shame nothing else does...

Honestly this week, thanks to the way it was lit, I could actually see most of the fight....and then almost immediately wished I couldn't. Wow those effects are ATROCIOUS.
