What are you watching? (Kamen Rider Edition)

Fourze is fun. I think it has some pacing issues near the end, but the characters are mostly great and the show is generally really enjoyable.

The episode before Cosmic States debut episode is the closest time I have ever cried while watching toku. Like I even knew what would happen, but still I had almost cried.

Funny. My son and I were talking last night about the three Kamen Rider series we saw: Gaim, Den-O, and Fourze. Both of us agreed that while it was hard to pick a favorite rider (I'm leaning towards Gaim, he towards Den-O), Fourze was a really good series that kept itself focused on delivering a consistent but not unvaried emotional tenor.

Well, you are better than me at least. I cried the very first Kamen Rider season I ever watched.

I fully intend to watch both Fourze and Drive...I just don't know which one I'm currently in the mood for...and I don't like trying to watch two series at once.

Flip a coin~
Neither series is going anywhere~

EpsilonX · 06-22-2016, 11:23 PM

Just finished the first episode of Drive. Definitely gonna stick with this one. Don't really have much to say about it though, other than...yep, definitely the first episode of a Rider series. But I definitely like the setting and the suit a lot.

I liked the characters better in Fourze after one episode, but overall I like the feel of Drive more, so that's the one I choose. I'll probably watch Fourze after Drive.

They didn't make the club yet in the episode I saw, but I heard that there is one and it reminded me of Persona. Same with the high school setting.

Fourze Episodes 43 and 44: Wonderful, wonderful episodes. This was brilliant for Yuuki and Gentarou. Also that one of the KRC became a Horoscope was a great idea. That this really played off Yuuki and Gentarou's friendship was great. That all the talk about friendship that Gentarou always goes on about that he forgets a promise like that is huge, well it shows that Gen isn't totally perfect and that he needed something like this to show that. I enjoyed Gentarou making up for it and being determined to get his friend back and was fighting 3 Horoscopes to protect her too was awesome. Ryuusei taking that energy bomb for Gentarou was great, it shows how strong their bond is now that he is willing to practically sacrifice himself for that is great development. I also see that Yuuki ships Tomoko x Ryuusei lol. Yuuki I felt bad for with what she had to go through but I'm glad she fought through that. Also her parents and definitely what I was expecting lol. Libra was interesting and seeing what comes next with him in the preview intrigues me more though it makes sense that he realizes his worth lately. It was interesting that Kengo was able to protect them from the Horoscope attack I can't wait to see what that was about. I think they stepped up the game in the episodes here, I can't wait for more.

Yeah, I don't think they officially make the club until episode 6 or episode 8. They establish the seven main characters one by one.

I'm at episode 24 in Fourze and 32 in OOO. I like to switch between two series at once so I don't get bored or burned out with one. I use that same strategy with Super Sentai, where I'm currently switching between Gingaman and Abaranger, heh.

Should be even a bit later. The official foundation is when Kengo finally approves, which should be after the Tomoko episodes (which were 7 and 8, I think?)

The Drive cast starts a bit slow, but they sure grow on you. They have a very nice dynamic, especially from the point when the three Riders are fighting together.

I cried almost every season. Except for those I didn't really like, such as Faiz, Kabuto and Stronger.
Most modern Heisei is basically a bawl-fest for me.
Eeeyup, I've always been a crybaby, lol.
