If you're talking about who I think you're talking about, he also played one of the Orphnochs in Decade's Faiz World.
Ugh. That was my least favorite part of decade. I guess im gonna have to go back and see.
 
For toku shows, i usually tend to avoid the series for a few months, and then jump in all at once. They tend to start off a bit slow for my tastes, but i think i might follow this show weekly

I was impressed with the effects and stunt work. I think it's worth taking a peek at.
 
I kinda like how Shinkenger handled it though. It was a desperate time/immediate action so there was little time for formalities. I like it when shows do it straight to the point.

It's always worth taking a peek at since you can never judge a Kamen Rider show by the first episodes.

It's fun so far though. Still didn't like TaToBa TaToBa TaToBa (the form with the mantis body was more interesting to me) or the opening. Eiji sounds much like a traditional hero though, which is a refreshing change since Wataru/Tsukasa/Shotaro streak.

Will definitely continue watching without any expectations as usual :lol
 
I guess I should try to catch up with the thread.

W ended really strong. Can't wait for TV-N to sub A to Z.

I didn't think I was going to feel OOO too much but the 1st episode won me over. We're in for a treat with it I think. Hopefully that hypothesis holds up.

The first trailer for Climax Heroes OOO dropped late last night and I gotta say I'm completely in love with it. I think the fighting game fan and the toku nerd in me will be satisfied with the final product.

You can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMoE1gEjgok

I'm super hyped for the new game and if I enjoyed the first 2 then I know I'm gonna have one hell of a time with this one.

Hmmm I disagree a bit.

I liked the ending, but
Philip's resurrection didn't really have much use other than turning it into a happier ending. Shotaro had already become the protector of Futo, even being that kickass Kamen Rider Joker. Shotaro even got over Philip's disappearance during his last fight.

Thanks to that, that last scene in episode 47 (when Shotaro opened Philip's present) lost its meaning.

Just a bit of rant, but otherwise W is the best post-Hibiki Kamen Riders.

With overly light hearted series, and an anniversary season, thats not really hard to be

Well, sort of a warped version of Ultraseven and a Kamen Rider and Zubat, yeah.
I can see ultraseven, but im struggling on the Kamen rider. Im sure that was the basis of the character, but i cant see it
 
Ookami-kun said:
I think it's the armor/padding. KR is one of the notable tokus to feature those.

Well there are things called coincidences. Just because it resembles something doesn't mean it's a reference or homage. Maybe they just wanted a humanoid Pokemon that looks cool.
 
This news belong to the Tokusatsu thread, no?

Aren't the personalities too similar to Shinkengers? That's basically the Shinkenger personalities with american actors.
 
That's what they're doing though - Tzachor is one of the main writers and he's been known as a "ORIGINAL IDEAS SUCK! WE JUST TRANSLATE SENTAI!"

Oh god, goseiger adaptation similar to the source material? Fuck that. Where are the writers for rpm?

Loving OOO so far, but I look forward to Eiji realizing everyone is trying to use him and start kicking ass on his own.
I've only seen the first episode, but has consequences from using the belt been mentioned yet?
 
Not really. ryuki, kabuto, kiva, and decade are the only ones with dark riders, and i don't even know if decades is even canon
 
The only movie dark rider that i can think of is nega den-o. The movies usually have new evil riders
 
Tamashii Nation 2010 has come and gone. Just another show, not a whole lot of surpis

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

SH Figuarts New Den-O Strike Form, the first web exclusive SHF that costs roughly $250-300 on the second hand market these days, is getting a re-release! Not only that, but it's an entirely new mold, with better articulation, and MacheTeddy's mouth is now movable! Details have yet to be release on whether the axe and rod will be included as well.

Pics of the other upcoming SHFs (Saga, OOOs, Faiz Accel & Blaster, Fuuto-kun, Cyclone Accel Xtreme, Auto Vaijin, etc) can be found here: http://ngeekhiong.blogspot.com/2010/09/sh-figuarts-d-arts-chibi-arts-from.html
 
I've always liked new den-o's design. Its like they combined zeronos and and den-o and it came out. Please tell me that monster's price isn't the same as its original

Well the original only cost $40, and that was due to it being an exclusive. It'll be less than that if this one is a regular release.
 
:D

SHF is probably the best action figure line I have ever collected. Can't wait for Weather this december :D

I'm not too hot on that New Den-O's SHF, but his SIC design is ace.

...they're churning Climax Heroes yearly?

not a big shocker there. hell, if they ever make it to hd consoles, they could make yearly updates without even pressing discs. i wonder why they havent done that already
 
Anyone else watching OOOs? I feel like it gets back to the core of what a Rider is all about. One man trying to make it right.
 
I wonder what would US's reaction when they aired older toku in the specific age (e.g. 70's for 70's toku), and not just Kamen Rider/Super Sentai. Stuff like Lionmaru and Tetsujin Tiger Seven.

Yeah, I like it, though the suit looks like ass. Have they said how many eps it's going to run for?

A group called Hikari Senshi just started subbing Keikatsu Zubat!

ASSSSSSSSSSSUKAAAAAAAAAA!


I heard another group is subbing Kaiketsu Zubat! AWeshommeeee:lol


Nah just pokin at ya. It is a bit weird they decided to call it "Zuvat" though.
 
I guess it's their interpretation? Though if they're gonna spell it that way, they should've gone for Zvatt.
 
captain fabulous and japanese dr who are gonna make this season for me. i just know it
