So I completely forgot where I was at when I last watched hibiki, so since I only made it to at least somewhere in the early twenties....I'll just use this as an excuse to watch it all from the begining again! Though are there any subs woth clearer visuals?

Also is the Hibiki movie any good?

Sadly, no. A group started resubbing it a few years ago, but they lost the raws when Megaupload went down.

It's one of the better ones, in my opinion. It's basically a Kamen Rider version of Seven Samurai.

Well that sounds completely awesome. I might check that out first. Sucks about the clearer subs being gone though.

Super-1 Episode 21: Really enjoyed this episode a lot. A Great plan of Dogma to create a monster based on Super-1 but they couldn't replicate his Five hands, so they create a great plan to steal the Five Hands from him. Great creativity of General Megirl's part especially with his live on the line from Terror Macro. Though the monster's arrogance cost ruined the plan by only taking 3 of the 5 hands. Radar Hands kick ass by the way. Interesting to see the monster get blown up by the Elektro Hands of Super-1 instead of a Rider Kick. Looks like it's the Final Showdown with General Megirl next which should be good. Super-1 is really good right now.

DK 19. God even the American fight footage is poorly edited.

I love how Kit is as baffled as the audience by the sheer quantity of Riders in this show. It's especially bad considering he and Len are the only Riders who even vaguely count as characters... and maybe at a push, JTC as well. But it's hard to separate 'fun villain' from 'genuinely a great character'.

And Chris well...for all of the flash, and punch, of his death sequence and the wider implications which I'm sure will never be addressed Chris never had the chance to become a great character because the writers wrote themselves into a corner so quickly. Asthma is a clever device to give the character a life risking complication without the need for graphic visuals, the problem is, is when you give a character something like asthma and STILL have to use up footage of them fighting you have to keep making up bullshit to give them a reason to be fighting in the first place. I'm sad he's dead but this couldn't have really gone any further, I'm surprised it went as far as it did.

Purely in terms of design, Spear looks AWESOME and although I think Axe is ultimately kinda dull, it looks a bit more like an actual suit of high tech armour than the others do which I like as that is what they are supposed to be.

I think you guys just think "Len" sounds fake simply because it's a like-sounding name. Has nothing to do with it's legitimacy as a name.

^^True that.

I am dumbfounded that this is even a discussion.

And what the fuck is a "fake" name? Have you heard kids' names recently? I know a little girl named Rope and a little boy named Banjo. My friend is a 4th grade teacher and she has a kid in her class named Yankee. Ashley Simpson's son's name is Bronx Mowgli. Hell, my sister's name is Keytin, and I've never seen that name with that spelling before.

Any string of letters can be a "real" name. I could name my child Gorflindop and it'd be a real name.

Preach it.

I knew a kid named Ham. I'm not even kidding.
