What are you watching? (Kamen Rider Edition)

Galvantula · 12-04-2012, 07:16 PM

Still chugging away with Fourze. With all the family stuff and fanfic writing I do, I barly have any time to watch it. I'm on the last four episodes and once that's done, I'm going to finish Fate/Stay Night and figure out what KR to watch next.

I also watched Super Hero Taisen. It wasn't as bad as I had been led to believe. A lot of people mention that it has characters acting out of character but I didn't notice this. Maybe they are talking about DiEnd? I haven't watched much of Decade so I wouldn't know. The action was good and it was overall a pretty decent film.

Kabuto is a really fun show. Although some of the plot feels rushed like it switched gears near the end. Tendou is a total badass, I love Kagamis naive nature, and Tsurugi is far too goofy by the end of the series. It's still a damn good show with some rider designs that are both simplistic and awesome.

I'd also agree that Taisen isn't nearly as bad as people say it is. I just think people have been spoiled by movies like Megamax with a more cohesive plot. I'll admit that Taisen isn't the perfect film, but it's pretty damn fun.

Hooray! I'm not alone in the Toku World! I'm looking forward to Taisen Z for sure.

So I decided to watch the episode of Kamen Rider X with Starfish Hitler, and it was amazing. All that was available were Hong Kong subs, but it made the experience even better. I just love all the silly stuff the Showa Era could do, like how if a secret panel opens up to reveal guns shooting at you all you have to do is push the panel back up and they retract and stop

My favorite part of that one is how Keisuke and Tachibana hired some actors to serve as decoys for GOD.

And then they totally got tortured and killed.

Good job, heroes.

I recently watched God Speed Love and King of Hell's Castle to finally bring my Kabuto and Kiva viewings to a close after all these years.

GSL was neat. It was a bit odd to see Yaguruma as TheBee again, but it made sense for the movie. I really call BS on how Drake died. Normal bullets shouldn't be able to penetrate Rider armor like that. Ketaros should probably go down as the worst death in Kamen Rider history. Going through reentry to fall all the way the ground. And as if the fatal fall wasn't bad enough, he hit some gas tanks causing a huge explosion. After seeing Caucasus in battle finally, I think he really got ripped off in the Battle Tournament. I'm not saying Hyper Clock Up is instant win, but the only time he isn't using it is when he not smacking your ass into the ground. Finally, I liked that the fact this movie is kinda canon due the Hyper Zector shenanigans at the end.

I rather enjoyed King of Hell's Castle. I thought the voice actor cameos of the Imagin was cool, because you finally get to see the men behind the mic. The Legendorga reminded me of what drew me to this series as Castlevania fan, the use of the classic monster designs. The family interactions were my favorite part. Seeing Wataru with Otoya and Megumi with Yuri was enjoyable, even if this movie isn't canon. The double IXA henshin was great. Reminded me of the Rook takedown across time in the series. The movie Rider designs were neat, but a bit too underused for my liking. Though Arc did make for a nice baddy at the end that was more than just a Rider. Also "Go to Hell!" and "Defense! Defense! Defense!" were random bits of humor I enjoyed.

Now, I just need to watch Final Countdown and I will have finally seen all of the Rider movies for the shows I've watched.

Den-O · 12-07-2012, 12:31 PM

God Speed Love would be my favorite rider film if not for Final Countdown. Which is itself very awesome. Hells castle on the other hand...... i hated

Matrixbeast · 12-07-2012, 12:55 PM

God Speed Love is awesome. Caucasus is a massively underestimated character.

guncannon109 · 12-07-2012, 01:23 PM

Loving Wizard, and still powering through W... Also just started Decade for um, research purposes? Yeah let's just go with that.

You're watching Decade because Decade is awesome. Don't like Blade and Matrix influence you with their Deca-Hate.
