Wait wait wait
aren't most youtube uploads TVN? I'd actually avoid them if possible.

I know sometimes it's the others, but due to TVN releasing episodes in a YouTube-friendly format, they're the most common.
Note to Toku newcomers: AVOID TV-Nihon. They barely translate, often get things wrong, and put more work in their stupid flashy effects than translating.

One way to know if it's a TVN translation - if the text has weird fonts and colors, and has a flashy subtitle when a character transforms, it's TVN.
I prefer a nice clean kick in a W or Kabuto style. Without all that chip CGI
Kabuto's Rider kick is a class of its own, dammit. So sad he went back to jump n kick later in the series.

But W's kick had that horrible "splitting in half" cg that resulted in his main Rider Kick having no impact before he got Xtreme. I love how recent crossover movies (Ultimatum, Heisei vs Showa) seem to be replacing Joker Maximum Drive with Cyclone Maximum Drive, which looks much better.
Ahh. I know that it has a tie in toy line which made me think it was primarily a kids show but I do seem to remember that it had a prime time slot at one point.
Thanks for the reply!
You know how many years I went thinking Dekamaster's catchphrase was untranslatable?
the quiet Tendou was the more harsh the kick was.
Joker enhanced finishers were the best.

There's also one of Tv Asahi's affiliated stations that's used to get raws that has commercials about Rider reruns at Friday night.

Yeah it's a sunday morning programming.
With that said prime time =/= not kiddie. Pokemon for instance is Thursday primetime in Japan.

bad gameplay lol
The theme of the show is decided before they even hire a writer. Urobuchi's said that when he was hired, a bunch of the weapons/Lock Seeds/suits were already designed.

Well, watch any shows from Kuuga to Blade. The type of atmosphere Gaim went for wasn't that odd for Heisei Rider until Blade failed, and that was all in the same timeslot. Toei just got scared by the Pokemon variety programs stealing Riders' ratings and so pushed a lighter direction afterwards.

It's actually still aimed for kids. Shit like this ain't uncommon for toku.
Seraphis Cain

Sure is.
Aesir won't be doing it because Over-Time has said they're doing it. The only reason Aesir did KR this year and not O-T is because Heat, O-T's translator, didn't like what he saw of Gaim before the debut. However he loves what he's seen of Drive (and the writing staff), so he's doing it.
They're mostly made of the same staff, so if one is doing it the other don't see a reason to do the same.
Everyone will recommend Gaim, but yeah you're free to watch at your own phase now. Come and join us in Drive, though! Discussing KR in TokuGAF is part of my tokusatsu life now.

The belt is sentient?
knight rider mixed with kiva probably

I believe the producer literally said that Knight Rider was an inspiration. I believe Pepler is the creator and voice of the belt.
I must be one of the odd one's out since I didn't like W very much and dropped it after a few episodes. In retrospect I don't know how I manged to watch all of Wizard since that was boring as the stupid plain sugar donuts he always insisted on eating
Not sure how I feel about Drive. I really hope it doesn't go back to monster of the week stuff after how darn good Gaim was. Having so many riders around was a pretty big plus too since it was always fun to watch them wail on each other.

They've gotten worse as time goes on. Their quality varies heavily series to series. I'm watching their Den-O subs right now, and they're pretty good. Some weird untranslated words here and there, but mostly complete.
Avoiding them when possible is probably good advice overall, though.
Cannot wait for Drive. So excited to see a rider have a car again after so long.

Sweet.
Ah nice. The driver sounds like Decade's belt and Meteor's belt.
Kagami was the real main character of Kabuto.

Truth be told I did try to get into the current Period's KR series, but only made it a few episodes in and then forgot to catch up. The KR series I watched was really good too especially the non-KR scenes, but I forgot its name ^^ In the future I plan on watching KR starting from Kuuga (or should I skip that and go its successor?)
The one I watched had the protag dislike hot food.
EDIT: I was Faiz now that I think about it, really should catch up to that someday...

Kuuga is good. Something you won't see much.
We need Sakamoto to come back toRidereverything. He does really great practical stunts.
Which series is that from?

Kamen Rider W Returns - Kamen Rider Eternal. it's a W movie, sequel/prequel to W's summer movie (Kamen Rider W Forever A to Z).

After getting a good look at the Drive belt, it reminds me of the old Showa-style belts.

Bandai got scared out of multiple Rider show for years due to many of them failing in merchandising (Blade, Hibiki, Kabuto, Kiva). Gaim succeeded there, but failed to match the biggest two Rider series in merchandising (OOO and Fourze). So, I don't think it'll take as long as between Kabuto and Gaim for another show with a large number of Riders throughout the series, but it probably won't be a priority.
Boss Doggie

We alreadyy had Gaim
Didn't Wizard also do good? The Wizard movie did slight over 12 million which is pretty good for a Kamen Rider movie. Kamen Rider movies tend to do 8-10 mil.

Surprised, Wizard wasn't good, maybe the movie was good though?

Not a fan at all of the design to be honest or the micro cars gimmick. Big step back from what i saw of Gaim who managed to produce great suits from a fruit based concept which i still can't get over lol
I'll give it a watch though purely for the W team and the fact that W was the last Toku anything i was really into.
Is there a Toku OT? thats something i could get behind.

Apparently this isn't the first Kamen Rider series to feature a car for the protag, but whatevs a good fun show is all that matters.
Yes there is but uh I can't seem to find it atm...
Motorbikes are always better though

Don't know about dollars, since there's unrelated fluctuations when you compare them through that, but it made ¥1,177,539,524. That's better than the Gaim movie, which is likely the lowest box office for a summer Rider movie (only ¥640,393,788 before disappearing from the top 10).
However, Wizard's summer movie still was, at its time, the lowest summer Rider box office since Kiva's. Of course, since around Fourze's summer movie, all Rider movies seem to have taken quite a hit. Fourze's summer movie was significantly lower than the previous 3 years, the Movie Wars and spring Hero/Rider Taisen features after Fourze's summer movie took a hit too (although the spring crossover movies are still doing better than Den-O's, which they're meant to replace).
My search function is borked, I'm sure I'll come across it. Black RX had the Ridoron which was a talking car that could travel nearly 1000mph over land and sea.

A movie doesn't have to be good to get kids to come in droves to see it.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Some magazine, Uchusen, has some more tidbits:
Lol the car really will be ditched after the halfway point, won't it.
