Yes, God Speed Love is good. I'd place it as my 3rd favorite Rider movie. It fills in some plot holes of Kabuto and has a better climax than the show.

Also, only the OOOs segment of Movie War Core should be avoided. Message From Skull (W's segment) is awesome that should be watched. This is why Skull needs his footage re-edited into a stand alone movie. It also takes place before the Accel movie if you haven't seen it (the Accel movie is awesome too). And if you haven't seen W...what's wrong with you?

The best way to watch Movie War Core is to skip the first 40 mins. (the OOOs segment assuming you watch the director's cut. Otherwise the timing is off) and enjoy some Skull awesome.

Minase Yashiro is so HAWT! I swear this is the only reason the Eternal movie was made.

It's an okay movie. Of W's movies (assuming I'm only counting the W segments of the crossovers) it's my least liked. That's not saying a lot though because W has great movies...as long as other Main Riders aren't there.

It's actually near the top for me. A to Z and Begins Night are definitely better, but I like Eternal more than Accel or the Skull one.

W Returns: Accel is leagues ahead of Eternal, IMO.

Simply put: I liked Akiko.
I was the only person to like Akiko, ever. :I

It gave great character moments with Terui, his upgrade wasn't just Accel: SUPER Trial mode, and it was just an enjoyable movie overall.

This. Accel continued the story in a logical way. Eternal, while okay, kind of forces Eternal to be a "good guy."

Also, Accel had something I never (no pun intended) thought I'd see in Kamen Rider: awesome untransformed gunplay.

While I'm not that big on Akiko, she was completely justified in this movie. She married Terui and Terui hasn't even touched her. Seriously, they couldn't have even consummate their union yet. So yeah, Akiko is horny and paranoid that her husband doesn't like her. seeing Terui with another woman doesn't help either. Basically, I'm saying Terui is dumb as a brick in this movie.

PS For the record, W's movies go in the following orde for me: A to Z, Accel, Message From Skull, Begins Night, and finally Eternal. None of which are bad, but again only if we are ignore the rest of the Movie Wars movies.

I don't think you quite understood it...
It's a common story in English superhero stories as well, you know.

It's the division of the character's lives. Between their life as a hero and their normal, everyday life, rather than their attempts to balance it.

Plus, Kamen Rider and Sentai have a lot of the same tropes as American TV (especially the superhero ones).

Personally I watch Japanese TV (Toku and Anime) because I'll at least get an ending to what I watch (most of the time). Any American show I like has a 50% chance of the show just stopping or ending on a cliffhanger to the point that I've become jaded.

Matrixbeast · 08-01-2012, 02:03 PM

I only watch Toku because I abhor anime design choices and story telling in anime is generally rather uninteresting to me.

I love anime...just not today's anime. To many high school comedies and magical girl crap. I just can't stand most of today's anime. That's how I ended up watching Toku (well, that and Power Rangers was dead at the time).

On the other hand, 80's and 90's anime are filled with awesome (and it's own kind of crap, but mostly awesome).
