Yeah, TVN has some problems with HD. I'm afraid they're the only game in town for Den-O right now, though. MCS did start their own version of the show awhile back, but they only have three episodes up and they don't seem to be rushing it (Da-Garn and Garo Makai Senki seem to be getting most of their focus right now, but that may change soon since there are only two more episodes of Garo ).

I'm trying to download an SD version (I think) of the movie, but it's not going anywhere, at all. Like it hasn't downloaded even 1K, and it's been going for 2 days.
But seriously, the HD is unwatchable. It's not low quality, it is no quality. Artifacts and extreme pixilation galore.

Funny, I would say the exact opposite of that.

Also, I couldn't watch HD if I tried, can anyone like, post a screen-grab from something TVN has done in HD? It can't be that bad.

In my experience it's not bad. Occassiobally there are glitches or artifacts, but not often, and not distractingly so.
It's just been this one time with the Den-O movie where it has been bad. I just redownloaded it to see if I just pulled it down bad somehow the first time.

I also just started Fourze over again, so for the fun of it I grabbed the over time versions. While I have not done any actual side by side comparisons, but my imagination is telling me they're better.

That sounds like it may be your player more than the file. What are you trying to watch it with?

[ryan]

I was using VLC, but since downloading Fourze from OT I had to switch to Media Player Classic, and I checked the movie last night, and in MPC it's fine. So I guess i must have some old codecs or something for VLC? I dunno, but it's all fixed now, thanks (indirectly) to OT, so Den-O Movie tonight, wooo!

Also, I'm all caught up (to where I was previously) on Fourze, so new episodes tonight. Wooo!

yeah, for gobuster and all i finally decided to say screw it and use media player classic, and now i'll never use that traffic cone again, even if it served me honorably for years as i watched gokaiger and other tokusatsu related shows

[Den-O]

Den-O is (obviously) one of my top Rider shows. I would highly recommend watching it of course. Ryutaro is a fun character whose weakness and inexperience is refreshing compared to people who know hand to hand combat as soon as they become riders for the first time. The Imagin are the best supporting cast for a Rider show. The best, most interesting little group of individuals you can get honestly. Owner is a baller. Hana is GORGEOUS as is Naomi. And Kohana still kicks ass when she's 3 feet tall. And Zeronos is possibly the best secondary rider there is. He's certainly my favorite.

I've never understood it when people watch 3-5 episodes of this show and then never follow up after that. You don't even get the full cast introduction before that point. Please if anyone likes this show, even vaguely, give it a chance. The first movie, Ore Tanjou, and the 3rd, Final Countdown, are the best of the best for Rider movies. You cannot possibly beat this moment from Final Countdown:

[DaiRiderRX]

about time you posted! yeah i'm gonna watch it all, my friends love ryutaro and momontaros

One reason I think Den-o was awesome was that it broke free from many traditional elements as well as have good writing. Also, the previous shows were darker or mature in tone while this was more light so it was a breath of fresh air.
