So I'm having trouble finding subbed videos of those Fourze episodes where the Go-Busters visit, he wears a Sherlock Holmes hat and Gokai Red comes out. I've only seen a few quick clips at the end of some Fourze eps and it looks pretty fun, but I'm not even sure what those segments are called or where's a good place to watch em subbed.

Those are short webisodes that were made to promote Superhero Taisen. I'm pretty sure you can find them subbed at TVN - look for "Superhero Taihen" (with an h).

I think I'll wait to watch Faiz when all of episodes come out on blu ray and get resubbed in HD.

Gonna second the Hibiki recommendation. I am really enjoying it.

Especially since my usual recs, such as Ryuki and Fourze, are off-limits for ya right now.

I watched it long before I ever watched Den-O, and I still enjoyed it, so take that for what you will.

I think I will I really want to watch it. Also I know the Imagin from Decade and the first 8 episodes of Den-O I watched.

DVD quality is really good of Faiz from Nihon. I think it's worth watching.

Gaim 5:

Man! They really aren't wasting any time introducing Riders! I just hope the show doesn't slow down after this. Only on Episode 5 and we've already got our Secondary. It was a really good episode though, a lot happened. One problem I've had so far is Kouta goes from "I don't want to use the belt" to "I'm going to use the belt!" then back to "I don't want to use it anymore..." then again back to "Yeah! I'm going to use it!" It's not that big a deal, but if they do it again, then Mr. urobochi and I are going to have a problem. I really like Ichigo Arms too. Bring on the Figuarts, Bandai!

Sweet! Let us know what you think of it!

EDIT: Gaim 6:

So...why do people like Oren Pierre? because, he's just a pretentious jerk.

Episode 34 of Hibiki (Note: I am writing this as I watch the episode so as I go on I may touch back on things I previously mentioned in the post)

For starters, I really didn't care for the new opening. Maybe it's because I've grown attached to the one we had for the last 33 episodes, or maybe it's just because that one fit the show so much better, I dunno, but I was not fond of the new intro at all.

That said, the episode itself wasn't all that bad. I actually really dug the relationship drama between Todoroki and Hinaka. The phone call she made to him when Ibuki was fighting with the douji and hime, especially with her reaction afterwards...that was really well acted and it kinda resonated with me. Nothing tear jerking, but it felt like a genuine piece of human emotion.

At least at this point in the series the violence doesn't seem to have been toned down too much, what with the makamou stabbing Hibiki in the shoulder, with blood at that.

The bit of conflict between the douji and hime was interesting as well, kinda unexpected given the way they'd all been so in synch prior to this. Clearly a result of the experimenting, I'm sure more will come of it.

Todoroki being so clumsy in the fight with the makamou did feel a bit off to me. I know he's never been the greatest fighter, and he's always been sorta awkward, but generally speaking he's managed to hold himself rather well when transformed, so him dropping the ongeki just didn't feel right. I mean I guess it can be attributed to carryover from the night out he had with Hinaka, and the stress of his current situation, but if this ends up a recurring issue then it'll bother me more.

And now we have him talking with Hibiki about the fight and it is brought up that what happened was unlike him, and Todoroki confirms my suspicion that it's because of what's going on with him and Hinaka.

Asumu's stories typically mirror what's going on with the oni in some way, so with Todoroki's drama with Hinaka so to do we get relationship woes with Asumu and Mocchi. And that I am rather thankful for. I'm all for the platonic boy-girl relationship, but at the same time this is a relationship I could realistically see growing and I am glad that they have taken this opportunity to kinda address it a bit more (as I know it's come up in past episodes). This is also something I know most of us, and certainly a lot of the target demographic, can relate to. I just wish the other love interest for Mocchi didn't have to be fucking Kiriya -_-

Having Hibiki kinda house sit for Asumu was nice as well. I always enjoy seeing their relationship develop and this pushes that a bit further, making Hibiki into even more of a father figure for Asumu.

Forgot to mention earlier, this episode brings up a bit more characterization with Akira. Not sure I'd necessarily call them doubts, though it definitely had that feel to it, but her bringing up a feeling of stagnation with how long she has been essentially glued to Hibiki's side but still hasn't really progressed beyond that. I can't recall if it is said how long they've been together, but Todoroki was under Zanki for I believe a year or two and he's already become a full-fledged oni, admittedly his master chose to retire, which pushed him up a bit quicker, but Todoroki was still transforming prior to that. She does have a bit of a point I suppose.

Kiriya running off to watch the oni again. Definitely a bit off-putting. I get that they want us to feel his interest, that longing he seems to have or whatever, but the way he just follows and follows and stares from behind cover, it's kinda stalker-ish and I don't like it.

Armed Hibiki continues to be a pretty badass upgrade form.

And...what the fuck, where is my Shonen Yo closing credits? For the love of, please tell me that this is not the norm now, I absolutely loved having that at the end of each episode.

Thanks for the info! I was able to find the eps streaming. I didn't really have slot of time to fully check out TVN, though the gist of it seemed like a Torrent site, correct?

Alright I watched the OOO/Den-O/All Riders Movie, and I absolutely loved it. It reminded me how much I love OOO and Kamen Rider in general. Eiji was absolutely fantastic, Loved seeing more of No 1 and 2, I love those guys from what I've seen in the manga, and some episodes before hand. New Den-O is very awesome, and I love Teddy. Momotaros is awesome like normal and him with Ankh is priceless. Great to see some of my favorites again like Faiz, Kuuga, Kiva, X, ZX, ZO, J and Decade and more. Loved W's part too. Loved the finish with all the secondary riders too great to see some more of my favorites of Chalice, Gatack, Kick Hopper, Garren, Birth and more. Great to see the old heroes too of Kikaider, Kikaider 01, Inazuman, and Zubat they are fun and I hope we get to see the other 3 revived like Inazuman. I loved seeing the upgraded King Dark I wish we could have got a Kamen Rider J vs King Dark fight, that would have been epic.

I think I am going to continue with watching more of the Movies, for the time being with the rest of the OOO's, Kabuto's, Kiva's, Decade's and more I'll be fine. Though Amazon, Hibiki, Black, and Agito were pretty sweet in this movie too.
