I thought you were being sarcastic. :lol

How is that any different from Sentai though?

And what does it matter as long as the show is good? I love continuous story arcs, but come on man. What would you do if they went back to that formula in Gaimu?

Have you never watched anime like Dragonball, Golion/Voltron, or Sailor Moon? Even Narutard and Bleach repeat the same formula.

At least with Black something happens each episode. He fights someone or saves someone or uncovers a mystery. He's not just standing around talking for three episodes at a time.

Perhaps you all should check out Amazon, then?
It's action packed, it's violent, it's 70's-tastic, and it's only 24 episodes long, making it the shortest Kamen Rider series ever (Seeing as ZX is a TV special, not an actual show).

This. It has its flaws, but the show is too short for them to get as grating as any of the 50 episode ones.

So what would any of you say is the most Showa-esque Heisei series, out of curiosity.

Kabuto, I guess.

Decade. Easy.

So watched Kabuto 1 because I got bored with Decade :lol

Its pretty good, I like how it actually people dying instead of a scream and cut away :lol

I'm watching W while I take a break from Dekaranger and Go-Busters. Man, that puppet in episode 25 was creepy looking.

You've chosen wisely.

No shit. And the noise it made.

That arc was hysterical.

Under these circumstances, that is.

Say what you want about Kabuto and Tendou.
But watching them for 49 episodes didn't make me want to dragon punch a kitten.

That REALLY speaks for Decade, because I didn't make it 20 episodes into Kabuto before putting my fist through a wall.

I still recommend viewing Decade so you could form your own opinion on it.
But let's just say...I'm not a fan.

I have an opinion of Deacde. I formed it from watching teh few episodes with Riders I cared about and his crossover movies.

It goes: I don't want to watch Decade because holy shit you can't even pretend to act can you pink panther?

I'm fine with that :lol

I like the suit design and everything, yet the actor makes Kevins actor seem good.....

What are you arguing here? I never even brought up Sentai? I know Sentai is action heavy, and drama light, but the more drama/character focus of Heisei Rider was actually what made me enjoy Kamen Rider so much. At that point I wasn't used to such well realised stories, or such fleshed out characters, in my toku.

There is nothing wrong with pure action, I LOVE pure action, but I'd assumed and generalised that Kamen Rider was more the thinking man's Toku and Sentai the more popcorny Toku and I was okay with that.

Black is enjoyable as it is, but if I want a pure action series I'll go with Sentai, who do it best and with much bigger budgets. And if they go back to the Showa style with Gaimu, the budget better be big enough to cover it.

I loved Bleach at one point, but I got fed up in the end, the show should have ended when all the Soul Society stuff was solved.

Nonsense. Inoue Masahiro is leagues beyond Najee De-Tiege. Mainly because I was entertained by the character and never yelling at him to start acting.

I did.

It was when I realised his expression in his eyes never once changes.

Anyway, I'm gonna check out Ryuki: Thirteen Riders. Just because more Zolda please! Also, maybe some of the lesser exposes riders can get some more exposure.

Thats what Ring Haruto needs!

ZOLDA, PLEASE! ZO ZO ZOZOZO ZOLDA! And then ge gets two bigass shoulder cannons!

... Fetch me my pencil.

That's a cool idea, I mean Haruto can use Beast's Cameleon Ring so he could henshin into Verde/Camo.

Haruto: Henshin!

VERDE, PLEASE!

I apparently have the most awesome smartass ideas ever :lol

So watched Decade 5, because I had nothing better to do-

Tsuakasa actor can act, when he is in the damn suit and you cant see his emotionless ass face......

Now if only he'd stay there and never de-henshin :lol

Exactly! I admit, the suit is pretty cool, but Im starting to see why its not the greatest series ever....

That's actually not the same actor. The suit actor is a different dude.

I meant the way he talks, I know its a suit actor, but it seems like he has some more emotion when you cant see his face...

Because he doesnt have to worry about emoting and talking at the same time. Like we said before: Decade would work with an all new cast. The suit, the gimmick, the concept, all good. But the cast lets it down.

Do yourself a favor. Skip to Hibiki World and ignore the rest.

Or just watch Hibiki instead. ;)

actuall I just wanna see anything Den-O/Momotaros is in and the Shinkenger crossover :lol Other than that, Im just shuffling through.

He really can't.

He couldn't even half-ass "Ore Sanjou."

First of all, nobody can do that shit half as good as Takeru Satoh.

Second, he still did better at it than the dude who plays Yuseless.

Just saw the Wizard Hyper Battle video, it was pretty cool for being only 20 minutes. I got a sliver more Rider action and Dancing. Beast and Wizard swapping rings wss cool although Kamen Rider Beast fused with the Land Dragon style made me remember Beast is incompatible with 99 percent of other rings. *Tear rolls down face for Nitou*

That's true.

But he LITERALLY sounded like he was falling asleep. Like, his nose sounded stuffy.

Oi. Yusuke was the only character who did anything in Decade.
Like, at all.
In terms of who advanced the plot, it was Yusuke > Kaito > Natsumi > Narutaki > Tsukasa > the Grandfather
And in terms of likable characters, Yusuke stands alone on that platform.

After rewatching Decade, yes, Yusuke wasn't very active in battle. But he was far more vital than just a pair of fists.

I think when people call him "Yuuseless," they're speaking proportionally. Yes, Yuusuke did a lot outside of combat, but the fact that he is capable fighter, in addition to being Kuuga, increases the amount of work he can do, thus giving him a larger denominator and reducing the value of his numerator.

But isn't Switchblade a big fan of Hibiki, and wasn't one of Hibiki's themes that you don't have to be a warrior to be important or something?

Yes, it was annoying that Yusuke chose to sit out a fight more often than not, but honestly, if was had Kuuga going around each of the Rider worlds, then Tsukasa would be pretty pointless as a character.
