Good answer

Black.

Also if you can count the first half of Hibiki as "great" then I can count the first half of Kabuto as great. Because it is.

PS As I mentioned in another thread, "Tendou is what happens when Batman, Chuck Norris, and House have a threesome. Always right, always epic, and the ultimate troll. Godai might have a kick that can destroy the world, but Tendou has the balls to use it."

PPS Enjoy those mental images

1st half? Dude the whole series was enjoyable to me (minus the goofy comedy episodes) like the evil chef (facepalm).

Mostly the overarching story and its various failures. Also Drake. Tendou was an epic troll, though, and I loved him for it.

Drake is as epic a failure as Tendou is a troll. My favorite Tendou moment being when he helps break a worm out of prison and side steps every single person who tries to stop him only to leave Kagami behind

My Japanese isn't quite good enough to get why Diend decided to become a giant douche by the end, but hey, they needed somebody to antagonize, and that Anti-Rider robot was already too idiotic. Same thing with why Joe Gibken was mad out of his mind for the entire movie, but I think that's just Gibken.
Really, if they'd have told us this was going to be more Decade vs Gokaiger than Gobusters vs Fourze, then I'd have happily passed. What a load of garbage.

Gobuster Vs Fourze would have been worse. At least Decade Vs Gokaiger has a corresponding gimmick.

[Sentai]

You left out Decade being more deserving because he's epic.

It's split down the middle like Kabuto's mask. In fact, Kabuto is the one with the mono eye now that I think about it. Out of curiosity, how do you feel about Accel's helmet? Accel and Faiz have similar shapes going on.


PS For the record, I love Accel, but that helmet design is just weird.

Decade should only appear in crossovers with all riders and placed behind Shin. That's where he belongs

Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying Gobuster and Fourze are a great combination, it's just that I'm a huge fan of both and that was a major draw in my actually wanting to watch the movie. It probably doesn't help that I abhor everything about Gokaiger and I'm at most passive about Decade, and the only gimmick correspondence I saw was a mutual lack of character. Maybe it's just that I didn't fully understand it, but I'm confident enough in the pieces I did understand that the writing wasn't great in any regard.

[Sentai]

I never liked Accel. The whole concept. His colors, turning into a motorcycle, even his henshin device is doofy.

And yes, Kabuto is a mono-eye. But it doesn't have that distracting circle pattern that makes it so obvious it's a mono-eye.

Well, I just watched this:

I'm definitely watching Kiva next, if only just for Ixa.

What I'll never understand is why whenever a main character gets every single Rider/Ranger power up until his series, all that power goes to his head and he becomes a total douche? You would think that by now Toei would get that having a "all powers" hero go bananas is growing tiresome.

Smart Lady gradually fades more and more into the background as the show goes on.

I kind of like Faiz himself. He's different from other riders because he doesn't want to be a hero, or at least not forced into the role like he is here. The suit looks cool, but I'm having trouble with the theme. I think it's suppose to be a zero, but he's Faiz shouldn't his theme be a "5" not a "0." Still cool to look at eitherway. Also love that his motorcycle is a Transformer...a stupid one at that.

Faiz's theme is based on the Greek letter phi: Φ. The rest of the Riders on the show follow a similar aesthetic: Kaixa is chi (X), Delta is delta (Δ), Psyga is psi (Ψ), and Orga is omega (Ω).

Takumi is pretty cool, but on my list of favorite Riders he's just somewhere in the middle. For some reason I always kind of forget he exists. Possibly because I tend to focus on the show's bad points and ignore the good ones. I really should try revisiting the show sometime and see if I still dislike it so much.

I love all of the Faiz suits; I think the show has one of the coolest aesthetics in the Heisei era. Faiz himself looks really nice, but Kaixa is one of the best damn Rider suits ever. My only complaint with these designs is that after seeing the SIC versions I love those so much that the show ones don't seem as cool anymore.
