What are you watching? (Kamen Rider Edition)

Locke · 08-03-2013, 05:48 PM

Den-O 11 - 12. Wow there were a lot of continuity errors in these episodes.

Ryou is still awful, but Kintaros is just ridiculous, I love him and Momo is as enjoyable as ever, so it kinda balances out. We got more exploration of the whole time travel aspect in the series, including our first dafuq paradox which was a lot of fun for a sci-fi nerd/Doctor Who fan like me. No wonder Owner doesn't want you messing with time! Plus the action in this series is as enjoyable as ever, even with insanely shit CGI, Axe Form is beyond awesome. Next Figuart? I think so.

Wait that model kids father...is the White Wizard?! Hell Koyomi and that model are practically the same character, I guess he likes playing the asshole Dad of lolicons. What a weird thing to become typecast as.

I have to ask though, why don't the Imagin just fuck shit up in the present?

This is both explained and not, in that we do find out why they don't. (it's the same reason they don't just go back to prehistoric tiems and kill the frst human if all they want is to destroy society) They're after something specific, not just there to ruin things. However... well, all you need to know is that they're not just rampaging, they're looking to destroy something in particular.

This is very exciting!

I have to ask though, why is none of this layered into the plot already? Although I like the show, I'm 12 episodes in and the plot hasn't even started yet, they mentioned Single Points like twice and when Ryou asked what they were, the show just dropped it and it was never brought up again. I have so many other questions, many of which you've thankfully answered for me, but I wish the show at least hinted that answers were coming.

Decade himself, though, is terrible.

Diend varies.

Honestly, I never suggest anyone should watch Decade first. I don't care how much of a taste it gives of the previous 9 Riders (And Black and Amazon), people should be decisive. If they ask "What series should I begin with?" give them a show you think they'd enjoy. Don't just shove Decade in their face and tell them "This one ruins every other Rider, so start here."

I would never say it ruins the other rider series, it's like Gokaiger for Sentai it gives you a taste of all the past Heisei Riders (Plus Black, Black RX and Amazon) and gives you interesting and fun characters.

I enjoy Decade's personality honestly it appeals to me. Also my friend watched it too and he enjoyed the series too.

Also the world's in Decade are Parallel Worlds with similar powered Riders but not the exact same thing and shows the overall themes of the show.

However I still hate Decade's AR Wataru he was annoying

Ok, Den-O Trilogy Episode Red-

If I didnt love the series enough, I REALLY love this movie. Im not sure if its the fact that I love Zeronos, Yuuto, and especially Airi

, but this is my favorite thing about Den-O right now, I mean it finally closes up the Yuuto and Airi relationship thing and I really want to see this touched more on

If there has been any Toku movie/series I want to rewatch, It is this one. I really want some Zeronos stuff now

Trust me, at the end (Having finished the other day) everything should be answered, and a huge thing you NEVER saw coming that involves Hana

So saw Episode Blue, yea not feeling Koutarou and Teddy, dont get me wrong, they are cool, but Ive just prefered Ryotarous and the Taroses

That combined with how much I loved Ep. Red and I think I just watched this to finish it

Now to wath Ep. Yellow

Powerman293 · 08-04-2013, 09:00 AM

Ryuki episodes 29 through 34

Most of this was filler with character devlopment. Little girl who wanted to be protected by Ouja was a fucking idiot no matter how much innocence Ryuki is throwing at me.

Megumi is a bitch. End of story.

Maybe I shouldn't watch those henshin montages because I know who Alternative is before the reveal of Alternative.

Yui is progressivley doing less and less while Shirou keeps on saying more and more "Fight Riders...... this is for you Yui, I love you." She keeps getting pushed into the background and into a fucking sterotypical woman role. She is wearing dresses and Aprons more often and at this point, is never seen outside of the shop. Hell, Yui's grandmother is more relevant to the fucking plot since she actually has personality and whips Ren and Shinji into shape. In the first few episodes, Yui was helping look for Mirror monsters, tells Shinji what the fuck to do and manipulates Ren. She started getting back on track back in the 20s episodes when she was finding information out about Shirou, but now that subplot has been given to the reporter lady who is a better character by leagues. Yui has been doing nothing and is a waste of time. Even though I hate Megumi, her relationship with Kitowa was intresting and the annoying shit with Shinji, while didn't go anywhere yet, was still entertaining.

" But you can't have Yui doing stuff all the time and her brother loves her enough for this Wackadoo Rider shit to happen isn't that enough?" No. While the show is showing me someone loves her, I need a reason to love her myself in order to care for the payoff. I look at all the characters around Yui and I love them more then I'm supposed to "love" Yui . At least the Riders have growth, Shinji is becoming less of a dumbass and a more agressive fighter, Ren's relationship with everyone could change drastically in the next few episodes, Kitowa is showing the side of him that's not a dick and Ouja..... is developing the lines he will and will not cross in the Rider war?

Sorry for this long rant but it has been building up over the last 20 episodes.

And thank god Ryuki survive showed up to move the plot again. Though compared to how Ren got his Survive card was lame.

Shirou: "Here"

Shinji: Okay

Compared to the more drawn out and honorable tone if Ren's scene.

Den-O 13, not really a lot to say on this, this was more a transitionary episode than one that really did much for me to comment on. That said the Imagin had a really cool design, Gun Form is pretty awesome and finally the secrets of the telescope!

uchihabro77 · 08-04-2013, 11:20 AM

Den-O Trilogy Episode Yellow-

About 30 minutes and...... This guy is butthurt becuase Diend took his family gun when he was a spoiled rich kid so he is going to make everyone else's life hell, and Koutarou/Teddy and Yuuto/Deneb are nowhere to be found when there is a friggin time cop going around getting the Den-Liner crew?

Ryuutaros would make an amazing villain design if he wasn't, well, himself.
