Watched Den-O 01 as well, wow the production values on this really weren't great which is a problem when your show seems to be so fantastical. But I can't hate on a show with a big imagination, just a shame this is wasted with so much goofiness. That main Rider was also really fucking annoying.

That said the Devil dude is fucking badass and sword form was cool as hell because he took over but his brief fight for like a minute at the end of the episode didn't really save it for me, I think I'll stick with Blade.

After you finish Blade, I would say give it a few more episodes. The first episode didn't exactly blow me away either.

I'm thinking of giving Den-O another chance anyway as I really did think the devil guy was cool and he really didn't have much of a chance screentimewise this episode.

Everybody loves Momo!

Just look at my signature.

[SPLIT LIP]

Ryoutaro (the rider himself) starts out a bit pitiful, but he nuts up. Momo is really the star, and each new Imagin just makes the show more interesting. Plus Momotaros is always the rider, so Den-O's always badass in his rider form.

Also the production values for the first few episodes are not indicative of the series overall. For some reason the first three or so episodes look really weird. If you watch the show in HD it's actually quite nice.

[SpeedDemon]

Just watched Ultimatum and those obvious fanservice is pretty annoying. Maybe that's why we only have Female Riders in movies

[Brainchild]

I'm about to watch Ultimatum, but I'm kinda dreading it if it's as bad as you guys are making it sound.

Well, this English-speaking actor isn't as terrible as the usual ones. But it's still never easy to believe that the language barrier doesn't exist at all.

Oh hey, it's the chick from the Fourze movie.
It actually seems that the entirety of this Fourze section is ridiculous. I don't know if any complaints I have about it would be valid with how tongue-in-cheek the whole thing feels.
Oh my, the way that they have actual human eyes on Saburo's kaiju form is actually really creepy cool.

And yep, it turns out that the twirling ass choreography is completely tasteless, as twirling ass choreography is wont to be.
Can we take a moment to appreciate how quickly that went from Gentarou giving up Fourze to Inazuman to random villain out of nowhere destroying Yuuki's shuttle to Nadeshiko to random villain being ignored for about ten minutes to casual Fourze Driver sharing? Because I think pacing like that needs appreciation.

How long til Ryo grows some balls? I dunno how long I can stand his wimpiness. But Momo was awesome, you could tell they were trying to do a similar think with Ankh but he ain't nearly as cool.

I watched in HD and I still thought it looked horrible. The shitty filters on the clouds, the horrendous PS2 cut scene sequences with the DenLiner, the jerky editing to do the effect where he opens the door and he is in the other world (literally next to the door so it's clearly in shot is a reflection of a man walk past, who suddenly skips back and walks past for a second time).

Man, I always thought Ryotaro was pretty impressive right from the beginning.

I mean, here's a guy that the world is constantly trying to kill. All of creation just looked at Ryotaro Nogami and was like 'nope, this guy's gotta die' and started throwing every contrived coincidence of bad luck it could at him. And Ryotaro just takes it. Nothing can break this guy's will.

Although none of that is wrong I'd still rather not have a massive wimp as the lead character in my superhero show.

So Den-O 02, wow Momo is based on Ryo's childhood hero? That is...disturbing, I don't care what he says, I think he's cool. Overall it was a pretty fun episode, I grew some more respect for Ryo then the none I had originally but it's just a shame that the special effects are so bad.

Also we have villains who actually kill again, yay! Still...didn't this Imagin die last episode? Why is he back again? And as cool as the Imagin's past rampage was, why would his rampage committed three years ago just play out in the present? If we assume the past has been changed then surely that stuff would have been fixed in three years. I know it's time travel so there are no rules but this seems kinda dumb.

Kinda weird that me and the thug have vaguely similar pasts, I'm pretty sure I am a better actor though. I was really jealous of what Ryo gave him at the end. So this is gonna be another one of those 'save the asshole of the week' kinda shows?
