As promised, here are my full thoughts on Episode Blue and Yellow.

The way his fellow liar Eitoku-portrayed blue antihero interacted with him was smart, with Urataros projecting his own personality on to him to try and find that softer more heroic side he doesn't want anybody else to know about. It's a little more hidden in Kaito and debatable whether or not it's actually genuine, but against my better judgment, I also like to think that he did all this not just to protect his own treasure of the golden gun, but Reiji's treasure of his mother's letters as well. When Kaito says he only cares about treasure, that's true, but that's not always a bad thing. I think he works better as a Den-O character than he did as a Faiz or Decade character. The scene where Kaito tries to warn Reiji that Denliner is being stolen reminds me of Urataros' line that (paraphrasing) an interesting lie is worth more than 1000 predictable truths. But in this scenario, Kaito's truth was so interesting that Reiji falsely dismissed it as a lie. The discarded pass being an important part of Kaito's plan is also a humorous throwback to how Gaoh easily hijacked Denliner in Ore Tanjou. Momotaros didn't learn his lesson! Quote:
Other than the character, G Den-O is also pretty cool! From the way he arrives like a Terminator to the police aesthetic. It's ultimately a villain suit though, due to Eve going rogue like the Fal'Cie Adam, but I would still like to see Reiji become his own police Rider fighting for a more refined justice to show how he has grown from his experiences.

But at least, even if our opinions on Red and Blue are polarized, we can both agree that Yellow is the second best/worst of the trilogy. |
Oh, this movie may also be where I first began to like Arc? He's just a big dude! I like how much they play on him just being a Big Dude here in the summon visuals and it's great. He should be around in more stuff so we can have more fun groupshots like this one

This thread makes me want to watch Kamen Rider Den-O again. I actually watched this a long time ago when I'm not fluent in English so there are still a lot of things that I don't understand, so it will be interesting to watch this again and fully understand the story.

OH CRAP! I knew there was something I was forgetting to do!

And Rinko From Wizard From The Future's, like, haunting of Rinko From Wizard is more about trying to set up the fakeout of some evil doppelganger/Imagin, and it just keeps going long after that's obviously not the case. It's a character acting in secrecy for dramatic reasons, not logical reasons. Quote:

By the way, Pretty Den-O is very non-specific when it takes place. It could be happening any time from the end of the series onward and so can be safely watched whenever. You probably want to watch it roughly in release order, but I just wanted you to know there are no spoilers of anything else in it, so you don't need to.

Happy (American) Thanksgiving, everybody!
This is... it's a little weird. I'm not super-thrilled with TokuNation's setup right now, if I'm being honest. Something happened in the backend infrastructure of the site, and nearly every episode post I ever did for this site is riddled with encoding errors. Like, look at the first post for this thread. Every single apostrophe, quotation mark, or ellipsis is now a string of bizarre characters. (Much like Kamen Rider Den-O, so I appreciate the errors at least being on-topic.) It's possibly something to do with writing my episode posts in another application, and then pasting them over as plain text, but it's not 100% clear. It's a recent error, but it's affected hundreds of my posts. That's a bummer, man. That's a couple years of work that's now... diminished, I guess. Something I'd rather people not see. That's been a little bit heartbreaking, if I'm honest. It's been reported to the admins by both myself and Androzani84, and we'll see if it gets fixed. I'd hoped it'd be fixed before trying to start something new, but it's the holidays, and I get it. It's just... I don't love the idea of starting something new at a time where everything else I've done is in a state of disrepair. I don't love the idea of trying to create something new that could look like garbage as soon as I click Submit Reply. It's frustrating, and dispiriting. Part of me was/is willing to walk away from these projects if things can't get fixed. I love you guys, and I love this community, but I'd rather walk away with fond memories than live with omnipresent frustration. But, who knows? Who knows if it'll all look terrible, or if things will never get fixed? Why walk away under a cloud of uncertainty? So, yeah, let's talk about Kamen Rider Die rewatches Legend Rider Movies and Specials. Starting (tentatively) December 2nd, I'll be rewatching a whole bunch of Heisei Phase 2 movies and specials, to get me from Decade to Zi-O. It's all stuff I've watched before, but now I'll be doing it with the full knowledge of the Phase 1 characters that are returning. It'll also be a nice chance for me to reacquaint myself with all of the Phase 2 shows, so I'll recognize characters when/if they show back up in Zi-O. A good mix of I Get That Takumi Plot Now and Hey Fourze Is Cool. Here's our roster (let's see how the site parses it): Kamen Rider W Forever: A to Z/The Gaia Memories of Fate Kamen Rider ? Kamen Rider OOO & W feat. Skull: Movie War Core OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders Kamen Rider OOO Wonderful: The Shogun and the 21 Core Medals Kamen Rider ? Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Mega Max Kamen Rider Fourze: Rocket Drill States of Friendship Kamen Rider ? Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen Kamen Rider Fourze the Movie: Everyone! Let's Feel The Universe! Kamen Rider ? Kamen Rider Wizard & Fourze: Movie War Ultimatum Kamen Rider ? Super Sentai ? Space Sheriff: Super Hero Taisen Z Kamen Rider ? Kamen Rider Gaim & Wizard: The Fateful Sengoku Movie Battle Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai Kamen Rider ? Kamen Rider Drive & Gaim: Movie War Full Throttle Super Hero Taisen GP: Kamen Rider 3 D-Video Special: Kamen Rider 4 Kamen Rider Drive: Surprise Future Kamen Rider Chaser Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Brain Kamen Rider ? Kamen Rider Ghost & Drive: Super Movie Wars Genesis Kamen Rider 1 *Kamen Rider Ghost: The 100 Eyecons and Ghost's Fateful Moment *Kamen Rider Ghost: Legendary! Riders' Souls! *Kamen Rider Heisei Generations: Dr. Pac-Man vs. Ex-Aid & Ghost with Legend Riders *Kamen Rider ? Super Sentai: Chou Super Hero Taisen Kamen Rider Brave: ~Let's Survive! Revival of the Beast Rider Squad!~ Kamen Sentai Gorider *Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FINAL: Build & Ex-Aid with Legend Riders *Kamen Rider Build: Be The One Anything with an asterisk was already written up in the Ghost, Ex-Aid movie, or Build threads. Those won't get new write-ups, but I'll probably repost them in the new thread for convenience. I will rewatch them, though, and I might toss in a few new comments if anything is a revelation. If you think anything else should be in there, let me know. I'm skipping most of the comedy-oriented stuff because... god, it's all very long! It's nebulously canonical, so that's my cover story, but it's also hours of additional content I do not have time to rewatch. Like, the Fourze ones alone would consume an entire month. But if there's a couple episodes of something I've overlooked, I can try and slot it in. That thread should go up on December 2nd, with new review/recap/discussion/whatever posts going up two or three times each week. These movies aren't short, and I might have other commitments that limit me from spending three or fours on Kamen Rider in a night. But, y'know, I do want to watch these movies and specials. It's never work. Anyway, that's where we're at. I'm still pretty bummed that the site carved up a few hundred episodes worth of writing, but we'll try and work through it. No promises, but hopefully this won't permanently derail things. We'll all find out in December! See you then! |
The summer movie ones are pretty surprising! I totally expected this to just be movies featuring returning Phase 1 riders since those are the ones that would actually be new to you. But, hey, I'm definitely gonna dissuade you from rewatching movies as good as OOO Wonderful and Be The One!
