Huh, that would explain why Excite has been so good.
It's not even JUST that though. One, Guridon is supposed to be a dumb name. Ornac is basically a 1:1 translation. Two, and this is the really important bit, they weren't psychic. When subbing a show weekly you never know how things are going to progress. Gridon's name could have become a running gag for all they knew at the time and if it did, translating it would've saved a lot of headaches. This stuff happens. See the Go-Buster Oh/King debacle (also Magenta's fault, coincidentally). Or how they went ahead and translated the name of the Sengoku Driver only for it to turn out to be named after a guy in-universe. Something I'm pretty sure they mentioned would be corrected in the series batch torrent that never happened since Aesir just sort of stopped existing after the show ended, unfortunately.

They just reversed it and called Go-Buster King Go-Buster Oh. The man himself had this to say about it later:

While there are plenty of things I’d love to turn back the clock and do differently, with hindsight (though I’m not sure I’d do the Go-Buster King/Oh thing any differently, really, that owned)

They renamed King to GoBusterOh just to have a sense of humour about it.

Hibiki, episodes thirty through forty-eight. Yes, I finally found the courage to finish this series, yay!
The changes I immediately noticed include: no narration by Asumu at the start of each episode, the removal of flashing kanji, the eventual change in OP and removal of ED, more focus on the Oni and less on Asumu, and the inclusion of Kiriya. The changes are definitely there, and they aren’t subtle, either. I knew I was bound to get some enjoyment out of them but honestly: I didn’t find these last nineteen episodes to be as bad as I thought I would. At no point did these episodes make me feel like I was watching a different show that just happened to feature the same characters and setting as the first twenty-nine episodes. I don’t know― Had I watched the series in one go, perhaps the shift in tone would have been more obvious. I’m not saying the changes were good but in Inoue’s defence, he was only doing what TOEI wanted―make alterations to help boost toy sales―since the original team, quite rightly I’d say, refused. It’s disappointing that the original team couldn’t tell the story they wanted. TOEI didn’t have to fire them. The team could have done what was asked in their own way. If only the higher-ups just had faith. Overall I quite enjoyed both “traditional” and “untraditional” Hibiki. My only real complaint with Inoue’s take on the series―changes above notwithstanding―is the last episode. The sealing of the Orochi was a bit underwhelming, and I felt that “one year later” epilogue-like thing just came out of nowhere. The conversation between Hibiki and Asumu at the end was quite touching, though. Also, I found it quite hard to tell that the final fight was rewritten while it was being filmed. , the magic of editing! XD

That one scene elevates Inoue!Hibiki a LOT for me. The ride getting there got pretty bumpy, but I feel that ending really recaptured the spirit that made Hibiki's first chunk so special.

If anything, I think they should have committed to it and named him "Corn-ay" or something. Really get the stupid across. But that's just my ranty opinion. |

So Im new to this thread. Love seeing all of the comments, a good majority of these helped me decide what Im watching. Im currently watching Decade (10 eps in) and I have zero knowledge of any of 9 previous Rider series, but Im thoroughly enjoying it so far and anything Im really hazy on I pick up online.
Going to start Kuuga next. |

Ex-Aid Ep 15-17
This show is very getting pretty good. Nico and Taiga are balancing eachother out nicely (something I never would have expected), ParaDX is cool, with a nice gimmick and sweet design, but props go to Juju Burger. It's probably my faourite form so far (minus Dangerous Zombie), but we're never going to see it again... Also, RIP Burgmon. So cruelly torn from us.

Just got done watching X (in a record time of just under two years!). Don't have a lot to say about it. It was alright. The ending was good. The suit was good. Probably had some of the most batshit plots in all the KR I've seen.
Whole blueprint arc was pretty neat. It's rare for Showa Rider to do any plots that aren't completely self-contained to a single episode. Having them extend past two, let alone the...almost 10, I wanna say...episodes this one took was unexpected. They were still largely episodic, but far more serialized than any other stretch of Showa Rider episodes I've seen. Glad I decided to just bite the bullet and watch the last almost-half of the show raw. Definitely wouldn't have been as fun at the halting pace subs come out. So that's my 15th Rider season out of the way. Woo. Only have like 8 episodes left of Super-1, so I should be done with that as well within the week. Exciting stuff. |
