I'm wondering, are any of these series available on DVD sets in North America or are fansubs my only choice for watching?

[WillyFive]

ahhh where is your spirit for adventure?

Alright, I'll update the OP.

They are, unless it's Power Rangers.

Masked Rider V3 has an American boxset (available from Generation Kikaida) and the Masked Rider: The First movie is on Amazon.

Ultraman Saga is this year too, if you're including Gokaiger vs Gavan.

[Boss Doggie]

Are those... TVN subs? Oh god

[Slayven]

Do girl ranger toys not sell in Japan? Is Kamen Rider even a popular show among young girls?

I heard pink doesn't do that well in sells.

[WillyFive]

I heard pink doesn't do that well in sells.

What if they make the pink male?

Decade was pink.

[ashleyj1988]

Yay a new thread and so far it looks amazing!

[Slayven]

What if they make the pink male? Decade was pink.

They said he was magenta.

[vareon]

Is this why Pink and Yellow rangers Figuarts are always web exclusive?

[WillyFive]

They said he was magenta.

Same thing.

[Edag Plata]

I heard pink doesn't do that well in sells.

That's why I'm surprised they don't use white more often like in Kakuranger or Gaoranger.









Gokaiger is really a gif goldmine, huh?

[Parallax]

They said he was magenta.

we were robbed of dark decade... a fantastic color scheme limited to a game...

[WillyFive]

Gokaiger is really a gif goldmine, huh?

Gokaiger has the best choreography of any Super Sentai show, ever (I used to say it was the best since Dairanger, but since they managed to outdo Dairanger itself with their own Dairanger scenes, it is the best) . It was just insane the amount of love and detail they put into the action scenes.

[Parallax]

im afraid that this will end up a gif dipository(which wouldnt be bad, but im sure would get the mods attention) how about we list our favorite and least favorite series?

of the kamen rider series ive seen, kabuto, dubs, and fourze are my current favorites. i think its the wacky overall nature of the shows that draws me in

and my least favorite is ryuki. my first run through i couldnt understand the appeal. i said i would eventually rewatch it, but i havent gotten around to it yet

on the sentai branch. deka, geki, and hurricanger are on top(havent seen boukenger, need to change that. )

on the bottom, gaoranger.... why? why is it so well liked?

[Edag Plata]

You know, everyone seems to love love love Hurricanger, but for me it was my least favorite of the decade until Goseiger came along. I dunno, just something about it, the atmosphere, the characters, designs, just really didn't do it for me. Obviously its a popular series because everyone (including you) lists it as a favorite, and Gokaiger had a major two parter with Hurricanger, so maybe I'm just missing something.

As for Gaoranger, it's by far one of my favorites. Awesome designs, lovable characters, great humor mixed with the serious epic and badass moments (like Gokaiger does well), so I guess different strokes, huh? :-P

[Boss Doggie]

Man, I wish there's a way to make RPM gifs legally =/

[Tizoc]

Akibaranger is hilarious, but damn does Akiba Red's headgear look badass.

[WillyFive]

My favorite Sentai includes Jetman, Shinkenger, Gekiranger, Magiranger and Gokaiger.

All of those were extremely fun to watch and had good and interesting characters that you cared about. Once I got into those series, I was instantly hooked and wanted to see the next one. I can't say the same for Dekaranger, Boukenger, and Gaoranger. I guess since they are so episodic, they don't entice me to look up the next episode.

Fourze and Den-O are the first Kamen Riders that hooked me enough to continue watching past the first three episodes, so I'll list them as favorites by elimination. Probably has to do with how both of them are not as melodramatic and serious as the other shows.

i still havent seen either shinkenger or gokaiger. i need to fix that.

Yes. You do need to fix that. RIGHT NOW.

[Edag Plata]

WOW!

The two best shows of the decade! Get on that! Shinkenger first obviously.

[WillyFive]

Shinkenger and Gokaiger are in two different decades.

I feel old now.

Happy now?

[WillyFive]

Happy now?

It was just small talk.

I'd also consider Gekiranger right up there with Shinkenger.

[RiderKairuu]

Man I really gotta watch Gokaiger...

[chickdigger802]

Shinkenger was fun... but the fight choreography was awful. The mixing with 'sound effects' were off half the time, which does make it seem like they are just swinging around prop 'toy swords' instead of real 'toy swords' ;P

[Boss Doggie]

I honestly hate the "crackle" sfx they used in Shinkenger when something explodes.

BTW, what Ultraman series are worth watching?

I want to see this...immediately.

My first Sentai was Magiranger and watched everything up until Go-Onger. Gekiranger is also up there with one of my personal favorites but Magi definitely kicked things off for me. My first Kamen Rider show that I really got into was Kabuto, it was a wrap after that, I went back and watched as many Rider series as I could. I think Kamen Rider 555, Den-O W, and Fourze are the ones I enjoyed watching the most but I like most series I've seen so far in one way or another. I admittedly have never watched past episode 1 of Hibiki, maybe I should go back and give it a chance but I was really put off by what I saw.

[WillyFive]

Yeah, the foley work for Shinkenger was whack. They just played random sword effects during a fight scene, and expected it to somehow work.

http://henshinjustice.com/2012/04/13...ets-shin-chan/ holy balls.

I expected the Fourze characters to use their chibi designs that are on the wall of the Kamen Rider Club. Tall Fourze looks awkward in those screens.

[Urban Scholar]

I haven't watched any sentai since shikenger. I think I'll scope out gokaier but after seeing the movie though.

Also Fourze just keeps on delivering

How was the choreography stuff bad? I thought Shinkenger had some of the best in recent memory, especially Shinken Reddo. Yeah, maybe the sound effects weren't perfect and tougher to do with swords all the time instead of punches and bullets which is what it usually is, but bad choreography? I dunno.

Now if you wanna talk about bad choreography, we can discuss Goseiger. All they did was swing around their weapons and they never looked like they were actually ever hitting anyone. Also, they never seemed to get strong throughout the series at all, they just hoped for miracles and got lucky. The fights were a bore.

idk... been a while, but I recall all the fights and movements to feel... slow and 'staged'. The bad foley work doesn't help.

And to point some fault at the story... Fighting 'water monsters' with swords... is a really dumb idea....

They were demons who lived off the river styx water sir, so soon to forget : ( ? My only gripe was the off sword sounds. I also had issue with seeing Genta train like once and everyone else 24/7.

Awesomeness needs less work.

I haven't watched any Ultraman since Tiga, but that new Ultradude seems mangry. The one with the horns.

Gokai Yellow <3 BTW, what Ultraman series are worth watching?

Ultraman Gaia.

[RiderKairuu]

Whats the consensus on Kamen Rider Blade? I have the whole series but I haven't watched it yet, curious what TokuGAF thinks about it.

gaosilver is the best thing about gaoranger to me. and his design is just awesome. trying to hit that abarekiller swag level.

It's some dark stuff sir and features my favorite rider in the shows I've watched. I say go for it.

[Seraphis Cain]

Pretty much this.

Blade is the best.

[RiderKairuu]

I'm definitely gonna watch it, it'll give me something to marathon in between Fourze. I'm going in!

[WillyFive]

They weren't liquid.

Even if they were liquid and they fought them with bullets, it still wouldn't work.

Samurai's use swords. Always.
