More time was spent with that Gaoh repaint. And really, for a form called "Skull form" and "Highjack form" they in no way evoke a skull or any kind of highjaking save that little doofy skull on the forehead.

I mean, Den-O's strength is it's characters, and they were better here than in Deka. So this is the last movie to have Ryoutaro's actor in it? Does he get recast or is the charatcer written out? What's Onishigamagaguy Warship? (For some reason it's attached to Final Countdown on youtube)

Doesn't change the fact that it's the first canon cross over between Heisei Riders (Agito vs. Ryuki was HBV, right?)

So before I go on to the next series, I'm gonna mow down those Den-O movies. First up is Climax Deka and, uh, the beginning is... interesting. Also, I feel like everyone should just go easy on the word "Evil Organization."

EDIT; Finished it, and I dunno, I didn't really like it? It seemed like it focused way to much on tehd etective angle, which would be okay... if this were a movie about W and had the smooth jazz music and cool thirties imagery and tone. But it's Den-O, and Den-O will be Den-O. Instead we get what can only be described as the most random-freaking-ass shift from Den-O along with some genuinely stupid things, like Momotaros using a shotgun. Wait, what? Okay, ignoring the complete and utter lunacy of that, isn't Momotaros a sword specialist and Ryuutaros a gun nut? Also, that entire plot with the cryign detective guy was pointless and annoying.

I cna only imagine how Kiva fans felt, though, considering he's barely freaking in it and has like, what, five lines? And to someone who knows nothing of Kiva... that hasn't changed. Kiva himself didn't do or say anything, he played a violin for a second which came out of nowhere, he just shows up at the end when his little bat guy flies around, then BOOM, dragon castle. (!?!?) And I though Denliner got crazy. And Negataros was a dumb villain. An inverted Momotaros (what kind of sense does that make) and sword form in purple. Holy shit man try to be less interesting, you're completely overshadowing all these other, much more interesting, characters.

Anyway, yeah, Ryotaro's actor no longer appears. I think in Onigashima Warship (The official title is Cho Den-O And Decade: Onigashima Warship), they use Kotaro (The kid Ryotaro from the first Den-O movie, I'm Born) to explain it away.

You don't need to watch Decade to understand it (He kind of pulls a Kiva, just popping up for the Climax), though, but the scene with Sieg is explained away in Decade's series.

Oh, and you still have the Cho Den-O Trilogy, if you haven't watched those yet (Only Episode Yellow deals with a non Den-O character).

Anyway, I'm trying not to explode in anger.
So...Yeah. I can't figure out a proper way to end this post without being incredibly rude.

And I didn't mean anything by what I said, I was just kidding :lol Geki isn't horrible. Jan is just.. really odd.

If counting only completed series, above Goseiger, putting it second after Geki.
If I can include series that I haven't finished, but I'm watching as it's subbed, then after Kakuranger.

Geki
(Kaku)
Deka
Gosei
(Kyoryu)
(Shinken)

Gokai

You have a wildly different reaction to this film than most people. In general it's the most beloved of all the Den-O films. New Den-O was a great suit and Teddy is an awesome Imagin. Skull Form is named as such because of the Ghost Imagin that uses it when he posses Ryutaro. Hijack Form is named as such because that guy literally hijakced the belt.

I don't like Jan, so I gave on Gekiranger and decided to go back to watching Kabuto.

I can see where he's coming from, though. Jan really turned me off watching Gekiranger at least three times. It was only after ignoring him that I started to really appreciate the series, and eventually Jan became quite endearing too.
