Pro-tip from a complete amateur: TV-Nihon's wiki thing (and probably a bunch of other places) always has transcripts for new episodes as they air (for example). Way easier than going off what you hear. :thumb:

I see. That should definitely come in useful. Thanks for sharing!

It dawns on me that I still haven't seen the Gaim x ToQger crossover episodes. Did TV-Nihon sub them? I'm not sure where to find it honestly. I'm also not sure if I should hold out on it until I've seen ToQger either...

TV-Nihon has subbed the crossover special and, if I recall correctly, the special takes place very early in their adventure so I think your good.

Pssh, it was under ToQger instead of Gaim, silly me. Probably gonna take a little break from Dekaranger to watch this.

Did Den-O regained the popularity of Kamen Rider among western fans?

Before Den-O, The Early Heisei Years of Kamen Riders was Weird. Kuuga, Agito and Ryuki was one of Kamen Rider's Well-Received and Popular show but it went downhill after Ryuki. Faiz become very HATED Kamen Rider Show because it was too boring and there too many confusing storyline. Blade was a mixed bag, Some loved it and some hated it! Hibiki went from a potential great show to a disappointed show because the production team got changed and they rewrote the Original ending and Kabuto was also a mixed bag too!

When Den-O arrive in 2007, Most of Original Fans were skeptical about this show because they thought this would be too much Super Sentai than Kamen Rider but couple of month later. Den-O would be the most popular Kamen Rider Show of decade! To the point Toei make them a Cash-Cow Franchise, There were a couple of V-Cinema Films and they were the main stars along with OOO Cast for All Rider Movie

Do you think Den-O was the reason of Kamen Rider's Regained Popularity?

Tonally speaking, it's ToQger all the way, so that makes sense.

That's actually the reason Aesir gave as to why they didn't do it (and also Over-Time was doing it anyway). I believe the wording they used was something like "you'll get more out of it coming at it as a ToQger fan", and I'm inclined to agree. I enjoyed it for what it was (and give it major props for not having Gaim and the ToQgers fight each other), but the Gaim cast, outside of Kouta, is really noticeably off.

Hmm, maybe I will hold off on it then. Maaaan, why they gotta make watching everything for a series so difficult with all these crossovers. I still haven't watched the friggin' Decade x W movie because of things like this.

Ah, just take your continuity hat off - none of these toku movies make any sense 90% of the time anyway, right?
