To be fair Den-O is a good series as well.

I'm currently rewatching Kabuto myself and I must say that I'd forgotten what Tendou was like. He came off as such a dick on the first time through but on this second trip he really does just seem to troll everyone :lol I still aboslutely love this show.

thats not a troll, a troll would make the kabuto zecter smack him during them both calling their zecters. a troll is not coming in halfway through the battle wen kagami's about to fall over dead just goin like "sup brah u look like sh*t"

I find this funny coming from you :p

You're right. Tnedou being a troll is when he breaks into a police station to help a girl escape (who turns out to be a Worm) and casually sidesteps every police officer so that they hurt themselves, then leaves Kagami there to take the fall :lol

You can like whatever you want.
Whether that series is good or not is where I'll dispute you :P

Hahaha. Touche.

I will agree on the characters and suits, as they were great. So was the choreography. In fact, I thought the series was quite good until they brought in the subdivision of WORMS who were pretending to be good, and then when they were defeated, the series ended, leaving the WORMS that the characters had been facing off for the first 42 episodes of the series in limbo. It was pretty much 555 all over again. It's like the writers said, "Um... how do we end this threat? I know, how about we just throw some random villian of the same race into the mix and have that be the villian so people will forget all about the guys their heroes have fought over the last 40 episodes."

Dr Kain, there's something called spoilers tags. Try using them in this thread please.






So, I have a new favorite Kamen Rider series: AgitΩ!

This is my ideal series. I came to see G3-X in action, I stayed for everything else. The pacing is perfect. I never felt it was rushing or delaying. Everytime a Rider's story hit a slow point there was another Rider to follow around. This is the first time I believe a show has three MAIN riders, not one. On top of that, all three are very different giving the show a lot of variety.

Like most Heisei Rider shows, it has a big mystery theme throughout and I'm very happy with the answers to those mysteries. It helps that some of those answers basically makes AgitΩ into the Kamen Rider version of (spoilers because it might enough for some to start guessing the plot) X-Men (one of my favorite 90's cartoons).

If there's any problem I have with the show, it's "A New Transformation," the first "movie" of the show. The main problem being it's impossible for it to be in continuity and luckily it really doesn't matter to the plot of the show or "Project G4" (The 2nd movie that's much better and can be in continuity). It's a bit of a shame as there's nothing really wrong with A New Transformation outside 2 scenes that directly contradicts a major plot point in the show.

Favorite moment: Shouichi punches god. No, really. That happens. Better yet, Hikawa helped with his BFG. :D



PS I even liked the Hyber Battle Video even if it was basically a crossover with Spongebob...oh no, I just realized that! :eek:

PPS So that ends my "must watch" list on Kamen Riders. I'll probably just continue moving forward in airing order, but I might just take a break until Wizard starts.

Agito is such a great show. It was the first Rider series I watched from beginning to end and it still holds a really special place in my heart. I loved the characters, I loved the story, and I really loved how everything felt like a mystery that needed to be solved. That's something that I really miss from the early Heisei era, particularly Kuuga and Agito, which both used this format. Nowadays it feels like we either know what's going on pretty early on (like OOO, where the Greeds' motivations were spelled out from day one) or we don't really understand the villains until late in the game (like Fourze). What Kuuga and Agito did so well was that they left the monsters' motivations vague, but gave us enough clues that we could start trying to piece things together. And, at the same time, the characters were working on the same puzzle. It felt like the viewer and the characters were solving the mysteries at the same time and it was a lot of fun. I miss that in Kamen Rider.

I'm about to wrap up Kuuga in the next day or so but I have a question for those who have watched the whole series. What's the difference between episode 46 and 46.5? I noticed 46.5 had a much larger file size than most episodes but I have a feeling it's just a "here's what has happened so far" episode (of which there have already been two). If it is, I'd like to skip it completely.

It was pretty much a special episode/clip show kind of thing, yeah. It doesn't really add much and certainly does not fill in the huge gaps between episodes 46 and 47 (no there isn't a missing episode, it's supposed to be like that).

46.5 is a clip show with Godai breaking the fourth wall throughout. It's nothing of importance and best ignored.

EDIT:
Yeah, prepare for one of the most jarring moments in all of Kamen Rider.

...oh boy that doesn't sound good. I've heard people say they didn't care much for the ending but they said that about Ryuki too and I didn't mind it. After this it's on to Agito!

Well I just watched teh first two episodes to OOO a little while ago. They were actually quite enjoyable. A little too goofy for a Kamen Rider series, but the comedy was intelligent so I can forgive it. The villians are pretty awesome. I love how they each have a flag of their color displayed whenever they are talking.

Yay!
OOO is my favorite, so I hope you enjoy it! ^^

Well I finished Kuuga last night. You guys were right, it was a pretty abrupt change from 46 to 47. Kind of feels like the writers said, "Oh crud! We only have 3 episodes left! Uh..uh..let's skip to to the final battle!". Kuuga's end was okay. I like how they played around with the idea that Godai was dead in episode 49 but they end up showing he's alive and well at the end. Now it's on to Agito which I've heard a lot of praise for :D

Agito is great, but the ending is... a let down. I haven't seen Kuuga yet, but if you think the skipped something to go to the final battle, then you will have the opposite with Agito. Agito is like, "Oh crap, this is the last episode, uhhhhhhh... let's skip the final battle."

You would not be saying that if you saw Kuuga's ending. And the Agito Club (for lack of a better name) had a final battle with finishers. You would not believe how much better that is over Kuuga's final battle.

Agito...the only series I had to have a representation of every Rider...

Agreed. It was just the two guys taking turns punching each other. Kind of a let down compared to Ryuki and Double (the only two series other than Kuuga I have finished).

It's symbolic. The two literally have the power to blow up the Earth if they let loose, but they are so evenly matched that it just comes down to man vs. man. It's a savage and brutal fight that lacks any real sense of style or flash. I think it's beautiful in its brutality and symbolism.

Symbolism is not always welcomed. How would you like it if Superman were fighting Darkseid at the end of a Superman movie, and they both just rush at each other so fast, all we see are two balls of light hit each other, then the scene cuts to Clark Kent days later enjoying the wind with Lois.

In a super hero movie, show, whatever, I want to see the fight, I want to see the winner win. That is the same problem 555 had with its "final battle."

That actually sounds pretty cool. :lol

started ryuki, finished the first two episodes

so far, its not bad, its not kabuto or agito levels of good, but its not terrible

Ryuki puts those series to shame in how good it is. Just wait.

For once we agree :lol Ryuki really is a great show. Certainly better than Kabuto and just as good as Agito. You'll enjoy yourself DaiRiderRX.

Yeah, pretty mu... oh, you said Kabuto and Agito. I thought you said Kuuga. Never mind; Ryuki is much better than Kabuto.

Kabuto is like Faiz, where I think they blew their budget on the designs :lol

Agito: The Kabu too your Kuuga.
...I don't know either...

everyone use to recommend kabuto, and i watched it and loved it, and its easily my favorite kamen rider series

ever since everyone now says its garbage

you guys never make sense :lol

Dude I'm not syaing Kabuto is bad. I freaking love that show. But that being said Ryuki is easily superior to it.

I'm going on the record that the first half of Kabuto is great (if not the greatest).

Also, Haters Gonna Hate. Just look above Den-O's post :p

It's not bad, it's just not great. It does get recommended as a starter series a lot, though, and it does have some diehard fans.

When compared to Decade, Kabuto is the greatest series I've ever laid eyes on.

i think they both result from the same problem, bad main caracters and a confusing/stupid ending

new t-shirt...

The Internet = "Hey look, found another un-opened can of worms!"

Compared to Gokaiger too.

Gokaiger makes Faiz look good.

This coming from the guy with a Goseiger pic, which is by far the worst Sentai of them all.

Oh come on.
