13 riders actually has Kanzaki say that to the viewer. This is what could have happened or some such. They're alternate timelines that he reset until he got an outcome he was satisfied with, AKA the TV series.

I've decided to watch Kuuga. So we'll see how that goes.

Yes, Black is one of my favorite series, and Kotaro himself is my favorite rider of all time. I must admit, the first time I saw Black I had a hard time getting into it at first because of how different the formula is compared to the modern Rider series, as it was the first Showa rider series I had ever watched.

Yeah, definitely Black is awesome, and Kotaro is great. It's aged beautifully too, massively stylish and atmospheric. I'd like to see the current shows go for such a cinematic style look.

This and I still think the costumes used in this series for the MOTW have yet to be trump in any rider show. The Gorgom beasts just look so realistic.

I watched Kamen Rider OOO x Kamen Rider Fourze Movie War Mega Max last night.

It was awesome.

It's been a really long time since I finished W and OOO, it was really great to see those casts again. Plus, the movie was just bugnuts insane. I really had a lot of fun with it.
Evil Future Rider was pretty great, I really liked the design and would totally buy a Figuarts of that guy. The fighting of the OOO portion, in particular, was really great. Lots of unsuited fighting for Eiji and Ankh, it was all very impressive.

The Fourze portion was also fun, it felt about like a regular episode. And I now find myself wanting to pick up the Virgo and Nadeshiko Figuarts.

In the finale, I found it amusing and pandering (in a good way) that we got to see the 3 primary and CJX forms of W, and that OOO went through all of his Combos as well.

Rockets States still looks kinda silly/ugly, the Super TaToBa suit looks merely okay, but the design looks really great in toy form. I'm disappointed that W didn't feature more prominently, and kinda disappointed they didn't get a special movie form, but ah well.

All in all, I felt it was a really strong movie, probably one of the best Rider movies I've seen.

Megamax is in my opinion the best modern rider film we've had so far.

I would agree, but I personally enjoyed Fourze's movie to be stronger. A tad confusing at figuring out where it occurs in universe, but still superior.

I watched the Fourze movie. Like most of the Rider summer movies, this was okay. It was about 15 minutes too long and the action was hard to follow. I also felt the plot was very predictable as I knew who the real villains were going to be right from the get go. It was all pretty much cookie cutter, however, the worst part was how friggin whiny Gentaro was in this movie. He was crying every time something did not go his way, which really got on my nerves.

I also have to say, I do not know what it is, but I had to turn my receiver up to -8.5 just to be able to hear the audio whereas normally, I only need to put them somewhere from -15.0 to -12.0. Nevertheless, the one problem I have about fansubs of movies if you lose out on the 5.1 audio, especially when it is from a Blu-Ray with HD audio.
