Anyway to stay on topic Fourze 22 |
Finally got round to finishing Kabuto just need to watch the movie but i understand its a separate universe so i think I'm good to judge the series...
For anyone that remembers from TFW, i started kabuto about 4 months ago and have had a very on off relationship with it. It's not that it was terrible, it just wasn't too good. I found it slow and dull at first, then when the bee and drake turned up and we started to get more riders i found it really picked up. But after the whole Tsurugi reveal it got a little stale again. I wasn't sure if i was supposed to feel sorry for the worm or hate them. It kind of reminded me of the fangire but they at least got eliminated if they didn't behave the way they should, worm didn't have that fear though. And that big twist at the end didn't help as it kind of showed the worm as the good guys. It also had a habit of making anyone you cared about into a worm. And Tendou is a huge jerk, he can kill Arata's brother but no one can touch his sister? Granted he didn't know about Hiyori being his sister at first Still having said that, i really liked him for the most part. He just seems to swing from a jerk with his heart in the right place to complete and utter jerk who gives a damn about no one but himself. Arata was the better hero but he was oblivious most of the time. Daisuke was interesting as he had no real desire to be a hero or a rider, so god knows why he was chosen, maybe the drake zecter was lazy? Tsurugi was alright, i just wish they hadn't spaced his story out so much. The two the bee guys who become kick hopper and punch hopper... yeah i don't give a damn about them =p completely random and unnecessary in my eyes and had the worst suits. Overall i really like the rider designs alot, hyper kabuto just looks awesome, and whilst it didn't quite keep it together all the time it was still a better overall package then decade so my rider ranks look like this now: W Kiva Den-O OOO Kabuto Decade Next up is ryuki which i've been looking forward to for a while now =) |
I still stand by "Kagami is the Kabuto Main Character." The MC doesn't have to be the most likable character nor the most relatable. But Tendou's coldness just came off as dickish. His willingness to completely screw over Tsurugi (Not so much Daisuke, since he didn't have all that much to fight for) just for Hiyori seemed less heroic and caring and more heartless.
Kagami was far more likable, his backstory tragic, funny, and just overall a lot more interesting (Especially in a fight, since it doesn't turn into a curbstomp battle every time). I love Kabuto (Definitely in my top 5 for Rider series) and Tendou, but I think Tendou as a whole brought down the series. Also, it makes Decade's defeat of Tendou just so unbelievable. |

I just watched the Kabuto movie and Tendou was much better in that, still a bit of a jerk, but much better. I like how it tied back into the series and it was just good fun =) If anyone is unsure of Kabuto i suggest checking this out first maybe, it doesn't really spoil anything in the series and it'll give you a decent feel for the show =) |
I just got to Drake's reveal in Kabuto. Like you, I couldn't stand how slow it seemed until TheBee showed up. But due to bandwidth limits here I can't download any more Decade episodes until the end of the week, so figured I'd watch some of the Kabuto ones I've already got.
Whether he's the main character or not, I do like Kagami the most of all the characters so far. Weird how we've watched the same series and I also want to do Ryuki after I'm done with these two... |
I'm glad so many want to see Ryuki ^^
Severely underrated series, IMO. |

On topic, watched the first episode of ryuki, I'm definitely intrigued and like the main guy already reminds me of a mix of Gentaro and Eijii. Knight is just win =D It has some dodgy editing in parts though and it shows it's age a little, still I'm hopefully going to blast through a bunch tomorrow and see how it goes =] |

I've watched W, OOOs, Kabuto and am following Fourze I like the three most recent, any suggestions on what else to pick up? |
Den-O
It's so popular for a reason. |

Aside from the Confusing romance between Yuuto and Airi, and the Kai character, though referenced early, still coming out of nowhere, it's a pretty good series. The Imagin are lovable and funny, Ryotaro's awkward and timidness is a nice change of pace (If you watched it in order from Kabuto to Den-O), and Owner is awesome (I still root for him every time I see him on Ninja Warrior/Sasuke).
|
Yeah, Den-O is pretty great, my wife and I are enjoying it, lots. I haven't gone back to Ryuki or Gokaiger since I started Den-O.
|
Been watching kabuto, on like episode 29 i think, such a damn good show
|
Currently trucking through W. Downloaded episode 15 recently. I'm really liking it, even though Akiko was somewhat grating during the first...10 episodes or so. Can't wait for Accel to show up.
|
Ryuki, currently on episode 11.
|
I just watched Ryuki ep 11 a couple nights ago. But then instead of watching 12 last night, I watched ep 11 Gokaiger
|
At the moment I'm watching Kamen Rider 000 and loving every damned second.
|
Still watching the original Kamen Rider. This show is really impressive so far!
|
After so many good things have been said about W, I've started to download them
|
On Ryuki episode 30. Been really enjoying the series so far, especially after the main 4 riders have been established. :D
|
Ok, just watched the first episode of W, I have a feeling I'm gonna love this show, gotta make my way back to Ryuki as well
|
On Ryuki 41.
I'm gonna finish this tonight, sleep or no sleep. :D |
Catching up on Fourze, I've seen Eps 1-11 over the last week. Good stuff.
I'm seeing advertisments for the OOO/Fourze movie, and went to OT and TVN to download it, but I'm not seeing it. Am I stupid, or has it not been subbed yet? |

Amiami has it slated for a late-May release.
|
Okay, cool. Thanks for the info.
|
I am just so bad at this haha.
I finished Kabuto a while ago. Ended up loving it a whole lot. Now I need to get back into Decade. I have everything downloaded but lack motivation lol. But for when I do get there - what's the best to watch the last two episodes? Originals first, special ending second... 30-30s-31-31s... Specials first... etc. Speaking of, why does Decade only have 31 episodes? |
I too just started W. I think im hooked after the second episode.

Got a set of W dvds off eBay and they arrived yesterday. Really enjoying it so far.
|
Guess I'm watching W now. Mostly to get my friends to stop telling me to watch more Kamen Rider (and there's no other Sentai series I really want to watch at the moment). I'm through episode 14. It's okay, but some of these characters are getting on my nerves. When they play it on the more serious, it's fine though. Probably won't watch the movies since I know crap about Decade.
PS If you got Ankh to dress like Phillip you'd have one handsome woman. PPS Yes, I'm saying Phillip dresses like a girl and Ankh looks like one. Deal with it :p |
Out of curiosity, which characters are annoying you? Akiko? It seems like everybody hates her, but I didn't think she was that annoying. Close, but never quite enough for me to hate her.
Definitely skip the Decade portion of the film, but you have to watch the Begins Night stuff, it's great! But once the dopant runs away from Double at the end, and the final crossover portion begins, you can quite. Decade and Double win, the end. it made no freaking sense to me, and it didn't matter anyway. but you've got to see the solo Double portion. Likewise, whatever the next year's movie was called, that crossed over with OOO, the OOO part was not great, but I thought the Double portion was fan-freaking-tastic. It's Skull's history, and it was awesome. Also, it explained why Akiko hadn't seen her father in 10 or 15 years, whatever it was, which, having three daughters myself, I wondered about. |
I like Akiko. She was never as annoying as everyone believed...

been watching Blade for about 3 months now and I only got through 10 episodes. lol

Just started watching Fourze. Digging it so far!

Akiko is mostly what I'm refering too. She's not as much annoying as way over used to the point of being annoying. Most episodes I just wish she'd butt out and leave Shotaro to do his thing more often it'd be great. But no, she has to play Miko all the damn time. Also, the shoe "joke" is getting old fast. Basically, she's both Miko from TF Prime and Kagome from Inuyasha (two characters I f**king hate) rolled into one.
That said, characters in Toku tend to grow pass annoying after awhile sometimes...or get more annoying. I'm trying to give her the benefit of the doubt until mid show at least. The rest of the strange characters aren't in the show all that much, so they don't annoy me much. PS Phillip still dresses like a girl. I like the character aside from that. |
