I remember the early 2000's Rider shows still use mostly practical effects. The CG in Kuuga is a lot smaller compare to the newer shows.

That's because Kuuga's CG makes people want to puke. It took a while before KR's budgets allowed good CG, such as Kabuto or Ex-Aid's.
Though if we ever get practical effects again, I'll be excited even if they aren't Agito tier

What do you mean by that? What kind of practical effects does Agito have that newer shows don't?

They still use a lot of explosions, fireworks, smoke, and all that good stuff.

G3-X's...thing, Agito's horns and Gill's tentacles. That kind of stuff

Think they'll announce anything Den-O someday? This year is their 10th anniversary after all.

Ah okay, because "practical effects" sounded more like everything in general.

It seems like they try to avoid stuff like this on hero suits just because it's a pain to deal with and limits what you can do, they were all alternate parts anyways, seems like they rather work with light these days.

But some MOTW's here and there still have moving parts in their helmets, it's pretty cool.

Gills' awesome "roaring" head that I'm pretty sure was literally a helmet on a stick given you only ever saw it in close-ups. That thing is quite possibly the coolest prop in Rider history. I love it sooooo much.

But it's also a perfect example of exactly why they don't do stuff like that much anymore. It's a big clunky piece of junk that can only ever serve that one purpose and thus probably won't get enough use to justify the expense of making it. Toei is all about efficiency (read: "$$$"), and nowadays it'd be way more practical, ironically enough, to just do something like that with CG.

From the looks of it not likely. I was wondering about it too cause so far there was that event with Zeronos saying hi and stuff and nothing more.

That's a shame. Although to be honest it may be a lil bit hard to do. Takeru Satoh is obviously out of the question, and so does both Hana as both retired from acting.

Naomi's actress is a mom, so the only ones left are Zeronos, the imagin voice actors, and that owner who loves eating his fried rice in a meticulous way.
