What are you watching? (Kamen Rider Edition)

NGW · 02-25-2014, 04:56 AM

Wow Locke, I know I've said this before but..I have some catching up to do X_x

Combine a really busy work schedule (only having one day off this week), plus having crap to do in my free time, what little time I do get to do whatever I end up getting a bit of Battride War in. I need to get back into my toku schedule.

I'm glad to have free time, but I wish that wasn't at the expense of being unemployed. You should count yourself lucky to be getting hours at work. I can't wait until I'm moaning about having no free time, again, because it'll mean I have an actual income again.

Faiz 30.

Seeing Kiba fight side by side with Takkun was sweet. I really like the concept of Kiba, introducing a villain who ends up turning good. I know it's nothing original, but generally there aren't heel turns in toku it's always they were always a hero but possessed or something like that. He gave into his power, killed some people, hated himself for it and vowed to protect humanity. No 'he was good all along but possessed by evil' shit. I don't think he should get away with what he did, but for now I'm loving his characterisation.

I also really hope Masato gets killed off soon, his general shittiness defies all logic. He's just a pathetic, jealous worm with zero motivations for being a bastard, which he is just a shit person in general and I fucking hate that, he's the closest thing we have to a main villain, why'd they have to pick someone who actively gets in the way of the shows progression?

Then again it can't be any worse than those Jet Slager things or whatever the fuck they are called. The show tries so hard to be epic, with such primitive CGI, it's just terrible.

Just watched the first 4 episodes of Kuuga from MCS. It's getting interesting, and nice to see the police actually do something, even if it's mostly just dying in droves.

The Grongi designs though, man they look so weird compared to the stuff I've been used to from modern KR shows. When I saw the first Grongi, the spider one, I laughed. It just looked so cheaply made to me.

Still I'm liking it. The first four episodes left a better impression than Wizard did. I've only fully watched OOO, Fourze, Wizard, and Kabuto. So I'm looking forwards to the rest of Kuuga.

Also, digging the opening. "No Fear! No Pain! There is nothing that needs to be feared! Even if I stand alone, I will surpass them! Chou Henshin! Kamen Rider Kuuga!"

Kuuga's one of my favorite series I've seen. Also the TV-Nihon versions translate the Grongi's language. It sucks they haven't finished though.

They shouldn't translate the Grongi by default. You're not supposed to know what they're saying the first time you watch the show.

Locke · 02-26-2014, 10:44 AM

I hated watching it without the translated Grongi, but I know I'm in the minority here with Kuuga in general. I think the only other person who dislikes Kuuga on this forum is Den O.

Not just you guys. I really disliked Kuuga a lot.

It was so lonely in the tree house, good to find new friends.

I still need to watch Kuuga, but the intro is widely regarded as good when listening to it makes me want to fellate a power drill, so I'm unsure how I'll feel about the series proper
