My way to fix Kamen Rider is to write the story before you make the toys.

^^^

Applies to Sentai, too.

Making music is not "simple", you know? Nor is it cheap either.

"Is Kishidan the reason of why we haven't got any insert song! I'm disappointed in them! Are they too lazy to do a simple insert song?"

Honestly, I don't think you know how any of this works.

What exactly is an insert song?

Character songs that play during scenes that involves them.

Kouta's Raise Up Your Flag, Tajador's Time Judged All, etc.

I didn't realise people needed a reason to wear clothes.

Normally it's stuff like the musical numbers in Phineas and Ferb or MLP: a song that exists for the plot of the episode to act as musical exposition or a montage.


In Rider, there are Image Songs, which are similar but just act as background music for a particular scene. For example, when Kiva goes Emperor, we hear Supernova in the background. It's lyrics aren't always descriptive of the scene, if ever, but the point is that it's a kickass theme song for the character or current form.

Oh boy, here we go...

I heavily disagree. Ghost may be a sub-par show, but Amazons kicks ass and is a great first start for more online shows to come.

And then there's the Rider 1 movie which most of us haven't seen yet, that one could be pretty cool. Also there will be a new show starting in October.

So don't say that this is not a good year for Kamen Rider, because one it's not over yet and two you're wrong.

Who cares what they wear? Baron, Chase and Specter are completely different characters.

Again: Who cares? Dark Riders who appear in movies are not what's wrong with Kamen Rider. If you don't like them then that's your problem, I'm cool with it as long as the character is interesting.

Nope. That's flat out wrong.

Are you inspired by the chief too?

And no, there's no inspiration involved, it's just a type of character children love, that's about it.

How about having funny and proper writen comic relief characters instead?

Why? Where is your source that tells us that all of this was his idea? You pulled the same shit in the Sentai topic where you randomly started to point out a producer and blamed him for everything that went wrong with the show.

And I'm gonna tell you the same thing I told you back then: That's bullshit.

"Everyone" as in "Me but I use "Everyone" so people think I'm not the only one who thinks this" as usual?

And no, that's not the problem. Generic is yes, but being a badass or wearing leather jackets has nothing to do with the issue.

The problem with most secondary Riders is that they clash with the main Riders for stupid reasons and that they sometimes just aren't very good characters.

Again, your problem. Nothing really wrong with the franchise. If you wanna talk about what's wrong with lots of the movies try the boring inclusion of Shocker, the Taisen movies which recycle the same plots over and over again, or the pointless Sentai cameos.

Maybe the main dude doesn't sing? Or they thought the music wouldn't fit? Anyways, I'm not really bothered by the lack of insert songs.

Yeah no, that is sexist as hell. Akari and Mai are beautiful, but that's not the prime factor you should judge anyways.

You should judge if they are good characters or not. And while Mai was a bit bland, both Kiriko and Akari are awesome. In fact, Akari is one of if not the only character from this show I actually care about. She's a good character and the actress does a good job portraying her.

And you made a lot of shitty stuff up here on what's "wrong" with Kamen Rider but calling out the lead female support character based on her look is just terrible.

That's an all time low, even for your standards, and you post a lot of garbage.

Better comedic relief characters, more interesting characters, less gimmicks and form changes.

Drive is quite boring in first nine episodes, episode 14-17, and episode 23-24.
But Drive become more interesting when the story involve Roidmude 001, Nira, and Gold Drive....

Hmm...Ghost's story not boring in my opinion (especialy about some unaswered question. example: Sennin and Eddith, Takeru's Mother, Makoto's past when he obtain Tutankhamun and Houdini, etc...)

But, I am always felt the form usage in Ghosts (except form usages for Specter, Tutankhamun, and Nobunaga) is not really good and quite boring. The most boring form usage is when Ghost use Grateful Damashii against weaker enemy such as Ganma Commando and Ganma Superior. If Ghost can beat Ganma Ultima why when he use Grateful, he still has difficulty when against Ganma Commando and Ganma Superior?

And some Damashii not yet use Omega Drive (Omega Ulorder for Necrom) finisher in the series. Example: Beethoven, Ryoma, Goemon, and Grimm....

Akari is the most proactive character in the entire show. Every obstacle she comes across she solves without any sort of special power, but by understanding it and coming up with a scientific and practical solution for it. And in a show that's become increasingly reliant on magical BS, it's amazing how relevant the show has managed to keep her.

She isn't just the best character in the show, she's one of the best female characters the franchise has ever come up with (including female riders). It's just a massive shame that Ghost was the show she ended up in.
