So the series might end up with a rider war......no, not you, Decade.
And Griton looked like a completely minor character! Nuts shall never defeat fruits! Hmmm......slashing oranges into half doesn't seem as hard as it seems......(heads to the kitchen) |

And I'm sold. The raw was really fun and interesting. Plus any show that Signalman/Deneb narrates is automatically awesome

That was really awesome.
I'm just watching the raw now. I instantly like Gaim himself. Helping kids is the ultimate sign of cool guyness. Last edited by SPLIT LIP; 10-06-2013 at 02:08 AM.. |

I might suggest you wait for a sub, since there's a lot of explanation.
From what I gather, and I may be way off, the riders were orginally ancient warriors who fought with armies of full-sized monsters and other assorted horrors for land and shit using Lock Seeds to pull them from a different dimension/teleport them. Something happened and we're left uncertain of the end result. Fast forward to the future, and society is commercialised and what was once ancient and dangerous power is no common place. Lockseeds are used to settle territorial disputes (between groups sporting the Riders names, or perhaps even using their myth to be mascots) with civility by using lock seeds to summon mini-monsters to fight. However, the monsters don't look especially tame or happy about it, and one looked to... change or lash out, before of of the competitor's locks was knocked aside and it went rouge before Giam (pre-rider) closed the lock and sent it home. OR it's the exact opposite, and the Lock Seeds are used this way in the present, and the beginning is a flash forward showing what will happen with this use of mystical technology. That's just what I've gathered from how far I'm in, but yeah. Looks like society's in for a rude awakening. Also, the main chick is DEFFINITELY related to Hana from Den-O. Also also, I think my guess is true, because there's bits of propaganda-style messages about the lock seeds and shit. Almost like this is a city under rule and the citizens don't know it. It's really quite interesting. Last edited by SPLIT LIP; 10-06-2013 at 02:24 AM.. |

That is why I usually avoid raws. You don't realise just quite how much you miss, until you can't understand a single line of dialogue.

Yeah. But to the show's credit, the visuals told the story of the episode very well. Really I just need subs to understand the specifics and exposition. Like obviously Yggdrasil is explained, but without dialogue it's not clear what it is besides the "ruling" corporation looming ominously in the distance. Also, I have no idea who or what the girl in white is.
Though regardless, that was an excllent first episode, simply because of Gaim himself. He was pretty cool. He's not aloof or ramrod rigid, he's just a cool guy who's a good person. His first outing as Gaim was really well done and full of good bits. Like how he doesn't realise how high he can jump and ends up slamming in a railing, then when he falls down opts to take the stairs instead. It's not super goofy or campy, it's literally just as I explained it. Yet despite those bits of breaking in, he still fought the monster off well and was competant in his use of his weapons. His final attack was really awesome, with a double-blade energy strike capped off with a swift bisection of the enemy, and that sword/gun is fucking sweet. And that Henshin was really dramatic and cool. Especially the almost haunting chanting as it built up to it. Really impressed. If I had to pick something I didn't like it'd be that I'm not sold on the dancing (it was barely there, though. I don't think it'll be as focused as, say, samba-ing before and during every battle. We saw one group of kids do it once) and the secondary characters didn't leave much of a mark at all. Maybe that will change with subs, but they just kinda hung around while Gaim went to work/helped people/fought the monster. Also, that's another cool thing, we actually see him have a job, and not an especially endearingly quirky of flattering one. Construction, manual labor. Stuff that builds character. Neat. And finally, that suit. Man, that's one of the most thoughtful, awesomely designed and fabricated Rider suits I've seen. It looks really good in motion, and I love the different finishes.

So it's worth checking out the raw before the subs are released on Wednesday?
