>[Kamen Rider Zeztz Ryoutaro Imai interview: I worry about how my English pronunciation will be received overseas]https://tieba.baidu.com/p/10009098905The title "Invincible Agent" evokes images of sheer power, but Imai stated that while capturing this "invincible" quality, he also focused on creating the image of a wise and gentlemanly agent.>"Baku's character isn't a cocky persona, but rather a polite agent. His gentle qualities, his interactions with women, and his dialogue all embody a unique, invincible charm. I thoroughly researched how to portray this invincibility and focused on these aspects when crafting the character."
>>23497251It's reported that the unique sense of composure exuded by Banjinmo was inspired by classic spy films and hardcore anime.>"I studied the character by watching Mission: Impossible and Lupin the Third, hoping to incorporate their essence into the portrayal of Baku Yorozu. Mission: Impossible protagonist Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) has a very handsome and charming ease, while Lupin the Third's demeanor and demeanor when interacting with women, such as giving flowers, are full of romance."
>>23497253In addition, Imai and lead director Kamihoriuchi also conducted in-depth discussions on Baku's calm qualities, constantly honing the demeanor of this invincible agent.>"At first, I thought it was challenging to portray the agent in the dream world, but as I gradually mastered the essentials after studying other handsome characters, I began to find Baku in the real world even more difficult to grasp... (laughs). We hope to make the character grow even better through our joint efforts."
>>23497255>Suit actor Kenta Nitta plays the character of Kamen Rider Zeztz, after Baku's transformation. Imai, who took on the challenge of voicing the transformed character, explained that adding voice acting to every battle would have lacked momentum, so he and Nitta agreed to only include the character's voice acting during powerful attacks. Watanabe, who collaborated with Nitta on Zeztz action design, enthusiastically stated, "Zeztz battles in the dream world employ unprecedented combat styles, imbued with a unique charm."
>>23497259"Kamen Rider Zeztz" has been confirmed to be the first in the series to achieve a simultaneous global release, with plans for television and online broadcasts in several Asian countries and United States. A notable feature of the series is the line "I'm on it" spoken in English during Baku's transformation, a departure from the performance style of previous installments.Lead actor Imai admitted to the challenges of delivering his English lines: >"The producer would give me on-site guidance, saying things like 'You can adjust this better,' and then, when I pronounced correctly, they'd say, 'That's great!' Every time I spoke in English, filming was incredibly challenging."He also revealed his concerns about how international audiences would react to his English pronunciation.
>>23497264However, Imai firmly stated: >"It is a delight and honor that the historic Kamen Rider series can be broadcast overseas. I will also work hard to create excellent works that can convey the charm of "Zeztz" to overseas audiences.""Kamen Rider Zeztz", which will premiere on the 7th of this month, makes him feel a sense of mission: >"If I am not focused enough on the set, it will affect the entire team. Therefore, I will always make it my top priority to maintain a sense of tension and continue to meet the challenges of filming."Despite the anxiety and pressure, Imai will still take on this grand "mission" as the leading actor in the coming year.
Also Ryoutaro Imai already auditioned for Gavv once for Shouma's role and have a close relationship with Valen's actor.>I also auditioned for "Kamen Rider Gavv">I worked with Hino Yusuke (who played Hanto Karakida) as a buddy.>I auditioned for the role of Shouma>I'm doing a performance with Hino-kun.>We even went out to eat together during the audition.>We have a very good relationship
>>23497280Impression about writer-san script>The plot unfolds from completely different perspectives and depicts different stories>It's really cool>The lines are cool too>I think the visual effect is great when these things really become part of me.

https://twitter.com/gochan_V/status/1963436863424713065Zeztz and Gochan clip.
>>23496692The vibe I got from Yanaka's interview is that they designed the suit first, then the dream setting.Basically they wanted to make it clear to newcomers to the franchise what Kamen Rider was so he decided on making a modern iteration of Kamen Rider Ichigo that had form changes like Kuuga/Den-O, then the first draft Bandai gave to him had the belt in the torso and he just stuck with it but had to create a gimmick item because he then realized that the show wouldn't generate much sales otherwise.He then saw a story draft for a Kamen Rider with dream powers made by Yuya Takahashi and decided to pick him as the main writer and the dream motif as part of the setting, but said they needed something else to make it cohesive, then someone (I assume Minato?) came up with the spy stuff.
>>23497790Seems like first and foremost Zeztz is a rider designed for international audiences. Which is absolutely fine since this is their first serious attempt at it.
>>23496661>>23496669Why hasn't anyone here bothered to post the teaser where these images come from? Here: https://files.catbox.moe/mufjui.mp4
>>23497807So the Nightmares have the body of their human host inside them when they leave the dream or is this still inside the dream and it's more of a symbolic thing?
>>23497790This show sounds like a disaster in the making. If MinatoP is really weighing (plus Takahashit as the main writer), this is going to be another Revice/Gotchard/Geats. Sounds like another show with too many cooks and another dubious attempts at astroturfing Western interest. You'd think they learned their lesson with Black Sun.
Visual clip attempt.
>>23497823Why are people saying this looks bad?
>>23497828The suit specifically? I think it's just that it's a muscle suit like a Western comic character which doesn't really work with Rider's aesthetic.It has this weird vibe of being simultaneously "too different" and "not different enough." Because while the Western influence is a bit too thick on the suit itself, the motif and design is just yet another rehash of Rider 1.
>>23497790I didn't get that from the interviews we've seen, honestly. What it read like to me was that they wanted a "easy to get into" Rider for international audiences, design was settled on first (as always), belt settled on next (reasons in a previous thread), and then they got writer-san's script and let Minato do Minato things.The only things that stand out compared to previous seasons is the deliberate international push, and we may or may not be at the mercy of Minato's odd decisions.
>>23497072>>23497072Kenzo Suga's backstory is set to be revealed in an cd dramahttps://akkinews.net/archives/284423
>>23497816Except that it isn't like any of the show's you described. With Revice the problem is that while Mochizuki is really good at coming up with ideas and casting he hires writers based on how edgy they are and the one he picked, Kinoshita was a bad writer that he gave too much freedom.With Gotchard the problem was that Minato wanted to be as safe as possible and ultimately his first draft was so generic that he was assigned a second writer then the vice producer Matsuura partially took over assigned a third writer because Minato wasn't coming up with many ideas.We have no way of knowing if the show is going to be like Geats yet, the problem there was that Takebe changed the plans for the show without any preparation and delayed the toys which led to the second half being worse. We don't know what caused the issues of Black Sun, like yeah people say western politics but if you watch the show that's the least of its issues, my only theories as to what led to that shitfest of a finale was that either Amazon forced them to put a sequel hook or that the writer just wanted to be tragic without any setup. Zeztz's situation is like an in-between of Ryusoulger's and King-Ohger's situations. Just like Ryusoulger, Zeztz has a drama producer that had only worked on toku as an AP with a hated toku producer as VP, only that unlike Ryusoulger Yanaka's experience with toku is far more recent and that since Ryusoulger whenever they bring a producer from another division they have them work as an AP for toku again for a year to get them used to things again. This is similar to King-Ohger in the sense that the show has multiple VPs with a longer pre-production time while aiming to be more mature (in this case because most of the international toku fan base are adults).
So I watched Paprika the other day for the first time and I fear that Zeztz won't be able to achieve anything close to its surrealness. It's weird because I feel that Kazuya Kamihoriuchi and Tomo Hyakutake which this show has are the right people to make something close to Paprika but so far the action shots shown feel too standard I guess, at least they aren't a slow-mo galore like King-Ohger I guess?>>23497858Except that none of the interviews have stated what Minato, Sota or Ahagon have done for the show and unlike Gotchard we know that Yanaka, Takahashi, Bandai and Kami came up with most of the important stuff. We only assume that Minato came up with the toys and the idea of spies because the toyline is similar to Gotchard and because Minato was the only one besides Takahashi and Murase that talked in detail about the spy stuff, so it's safe to assume that he was the one who proposed the idea, if not him then Takahashi. Point is, it doesn't seem like Yanaka will be like Minato where he leaves the important decisions to other people while limiting the staff's creative choices as much as possible. Yanaka also mentioned that he wants to take as much time to develop the world in a way that doesn't feel cheap, like King-Ohger so that's probably why we have 3 vice producers.>>23497828It's mostly that people think it's too soon for another Takahashi show or for another Ichigo homage, rather than the show itself looking bad. The people that are acting as if this show is irredeemable from the get-go are just the falseflaggers that pretend that Takahashi is both the worst and best thing that has happened to Rider.
>>23497723QRD?

What is the best modern rider opening and why is it RealXEyezhttps://youtu.be/Sk01I22OQjs?si=cPSwhYJkRWW6xJ52
>>23497925Define "modern", but for me it's Izanagi: https://youtu.be/K1y3o6JGoSQ
>>23497911The dream world sound gay.
>>23497927Shinobi memes aside, we really need an actual ninja Rider season.
>>23497930I mean the dream world looks just like the real world rather than something fantasy-heavy like when Wizard enters a Phantom's host, the producer compared it more to Ex-Aid's stage select.
>>23497942But I wasn't memeing, that really is my favorite recent Kamen Rider OP alongside with Did You See the Sunrise and RealxEyes.And yeah I surprised that they've never pitched an actual Ninja Rider season seemingly.
>>23497944This is the rider that's supposed to introduce westerners to the franchise. It should be a back to basis. A guy is kidnapped by an evil organization and he's altered by unethical surgery but he used the power he was given to destroy human life to protect it. That's how youn introduce new audience to rider
>>23497947Oh no by the memes I was referring to how people will joke that Shinobi is an actual season. But for real Shinobi itself shows ninja theme has potential for Rider.
>>23497960Shin Kamen Rider did that already and was released in international theaters.
>>23497960You need to realize that this season is supposed to be both a good introduction for newcomers overseas while also being a good new entry for the established Japanese fanbase. To them, Shin Kamen Rider and kind of Build were already a "back to basics" and not that long ago, and also the staffs usually like trying different things, even Zeztz's producer said that if this show wasn't an introduction to overseas fans he would have picked something trendy in Japan similarly as to how Gavv picked snacks, to Yanaka the most important thing when it came to representing Kamen Rider was the design and the sense of "loneliness" apparently.
>>23497969That was for geeks who were already fans of Hideaki Anno.>>23497974I think this will fail to catch new fans in the west.
>>23497960>should be this and thatSpeak for yourself nigger.
>>23497979Might want to save the assumptions for when we're halfway through the show and have a better grasp of it's Western viewership.
>>23497979Anon by default this will be better than most western media that's being released these days, aside from A24 and Zach from WKUK, there's no one making stuff, it's not like the western audience will care whether they're referencing the original or not because they aren't aware of the original series, it's not like every Rider season is like the original and the already established western fanbase mostly just cares about the action being cool and the story being dark.Zeztz will fail in the west but it will not be for the retarded reasons you're implying but rather because of how it's being distributed and the Poor marketing. The only way I could see Zeztz getting some proper traction in the west is if some famous non-toku youtuber covers it but that's really unlikely.
>>23497870>Point is, it doesn't seem like Yanaka will be like Minato where he leaves the important decisions to other people while limiting the staff's creative choices as much as possible.Oh, I agree with that. That's why I said there isn't much different compared to previous seasons other than the international push. I wouldn't be surprised if Minato was the one who pushed for spy stuff, but I also don't think it would matter as much as the decisions by the other people you listed. I'm not a Takahashi fan, but I think he can handle the theme well if it's true that he wasn't the one who proposed it.
>>23497988https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSKTvpNrk2E
>>23497966I think it's probably difficult to conceptualize how to work form changes into a ninja theme, without the themes of those forms overwriting the ninja concept. Like if it's ninja + animal it'd end up feeling more like another animal season.
Ex-Aid reference in the new P5X update
>>23497999That's pretty random, now I want a Kamen Rider RPG made by Atlus, it's not like they're coming up with new SMT spin-offs anyway plus they haven't done anything with their fighting game IPs, not that any of that is relevant since P5X is made by an unrelated Chinese dev iirc.

A Rider fighting game sounds fun until you realize that the cast is bloated just from having main riders
>>23498026Just limit it to Reiwa.
>>23498026Climax Heroes was fun, the devs from those games were pretty creative, they made the recent Hunter x Hunter game which also has creatively tight gimmicks but that HxH game sucks because it cost 60$ despite having a miniscule roster with hardly any content. And it's not like they can use their base of Super Climax Heroes anymore due to it being outdated, so unless they're given Battride War and Climax Fighter assets which would still require them to do a lot of stuff from scratch, they would need a big budget to make a good Rider fighting game sadly.
>>23498032But then half the roster would be Zero-One and Saber Riders.
>>23498026Just reuse assets from Climax Scramble and adapt the game to be a 2D fighter, that way they'll have all Heisei protagonists and late Heisei secondaries done except for Geiz, meaning that they would only need to make the protagonists and secondaries from Reiwa, so 14 new characters which still sounds like a lot I guess.
>>23497093>favoriteRyuki, Blade, OOO, Fourze, Gaim (the Kouta vs Kaito fight, not the epilogue), Drive, Saber>least favoriteHibiki, Decade, Zero-One, Gavv
>>23498046If you limit it to the tertiary and final boss each season except for Zeztz that would still be 26 playable characters which is a decent number. >>23497093My favorite finales are certainly Ryuki and Blade, they're the ones that made me feel the most. Hibiki is the finale that pissed me off the most, otherwise Black Sun also pissed me off a lot and Decade made me feel empty.
>>23497093Favorite: Blade, Den-O, OOO, Gaim and build (ignore vcin)Least favorite: W, Decade, Hibiki, Revice and saber
>>23498026I think the biggest hurdle is that due to Riders centering on form changes it exponentially increases the dev time for each character. W is relatively simple on assets alone due to forms being palette swaps but even then it requires a minimum of 3 different movesets for just the core forms. It's not just development but balance.I suppose that a practical middle ground would be for it to work like Gem Fighter where form changes are just singular moves and then the Rider goes back to their main form.
>>23498065Yeah, even if that would obviously be kind of lame, I can't see how a Rider fighting game would work otherwise. If you had actually to balance the game around form changes, it would be like making a fighting game where most of the characters are overly complex stance characters, which would be a pain in the ass not only for the developers to work on, like you said, but for the players to actually play the game. It's like if 80% of Tekken's roster were Lei-tier stance characters that nobody would want to learn or play.
Can we get a cool new Kamen Rider game soon?
>>23498139We can probably get another Musou, are you fine with that? Or hey, 2D beat’em ups have had a recent spike in popularity. One of those would not be far fetched.
>>23498139They'll probably want to churn something out for the Switch 2 but it will probtbe low-effort. Considering the Memories of Heroez guys are seemingly doing nothing and that's their most recent 3D game I could see them using that as a base to make another DMC-clone but obviously that doesn't guarantee that they'll improve on the mechanics of the game, it will likely retain the same issues.
>>23498139I actually liked Memory of Heroez. It wasn't a great game, but I found it fairly enjoyable for what it was. I just wish it was Fourze rather than Zero-One.
>>23498209>Memories of HeroezIs this good?
>>23498227It's all right, but definitely not worth the original asking price
>>23497877Yeah the sticking-up hair thing is retarded.I know they love making "cool stuff uncool" but it doesn't work. Can't they just let him be 100% cool? I mean he already has a baby face, why the need to lift Sento's thing 1:1?
>>23497999I'm tired of Persona 5. They think they're so clever, yet everything is so played out. I literally platinumed that game in 2017, where the fuck is Persona 6?>>23498005If they had balls they'd do my vision of the Persona series:>Each character literally henshins into their Persona>As such, characters have a main Persona and a sub-Persona like in Persona Q (they function like form changes)>Henshin sequence is like Digimon Frontier>Dungeon is an interdimensional train (think Den-O's many trains)>The return of Lovecraftian enemies, secret boss is Nyarlathotep
>>23498531It’s probably meant to represent gap moe to not make him too perfect.What I really hate is that he’s doing Ace’s snap as a part of his henshin when the lip rub bit was iconic enough to make his pose stand out. It’d be like Shouma doing the alchemy handpose as a part of his henshin before he lifts his hand over his eyes.I feel that might’ve been forced in by Takahashi because he loves to recycle ideas.
Hey, question for the simulcast: Are we changing the in-thread live reactions time to align with the SHOUT release, or are we sticking with the JP premiere?
>>23498594You should just be fine to live post the JP premiere Gai Anon, it's not SHT unless I see you post "It's time"
>>23498594How about just making the usual separate episode thread super earlier than usual to align with when the shout stream for the new episode starts? With a youtube link instead of the nyaa link (and then the nyaa link once rippers get it).There's no stopping live JP stream reactions.

It was written by Suga's actor himself with supervision from Komura, and it's divided in 3 parts:>First part consists of Suga having one last conversation with Nyelv after his defeat, in which he reminisces about his test subjects, his personal beliefs, and his scientific philosophy >Second part involves Suga's surgery on himself to use the Bakemagnum, he also talks to the 2 Shouma clones he made near the end of Q2 in it>Third part involves Suga and Nyelv's first meetingThe most important bits I could gather from the reviews were the following:>Suga did in fact experiment on a few more people than he remembered, there weren't 8 but rather 11 test subjects before Hanto, who was the 12th>The 8th test subject was his assistant>it's not directly stated, but it's implied that the 1st test subject was his wife>Suga, while sounding like he's repressing his emotions, says some people sacrifice everything for something other than themselves, and that the first test subject was someone like that. This implies his wife willingly agreed to be experimented on, and that Suga feels sad about her sacrifice>Suga performed his own transformation surgery by himself, apparently without anesthesia, and he listened to Brahms' lullaby during it since it served as a sedative for his body and mind. He still felt a lot of pain though and was biting on a towel throughout the procedure>Suga apparently put some effort into keeping his identity a secret, he tells the Dark Shoumas to not call him "Kenzo" or "Suga" and he published a book on unidentified lifeforms under the pseudonym "Daigo Koichi" (name's apparently also a pun related to taste)>he and Nyelv first met when the latter came to kill him because he was researching the Granutes and knew too much about them, they struck up a conversation and ended up bonding over their shared interest in mad science or something(1/2)
>>23499194Cont.>not sure if this person was just speculating and having fujo delusions or if it's actually in the CD drama, but a user said Suga was researching the ultimate lifeform because of his feelings for Nyelv? And that Suga avoided showing his surgery scars when Hanto exposed his tummy to see if he was a Granute? Though this second one doesn't make much sense considering Suga only receives the second Granute organ after that scene, so either the user doesn't remember the show well or it's a plot hole>apparently Suga's baby and K aren't brought up, at least not directlyHope someone subs, even though it still leaves the most important parts of Suga's backstory pretty vague, which is kinda disappointing.(2/2)
We have a villains entire backstory and motivation left unexplored and you guys still think Gavv is as good as Build.
>>23499264Still better than Gotchard's villain attempts
>>23499265If there's one thing that Gavv did worse than Gotchard, it's the villains.

>>23499389Every Fourze Riders went too famous to return, that's why it's the only series without any returning Riders in Zi-O beside Kuuga.
>>23499320Nta but if you're talking about Suga we had his backstory. What more did you want?
>>23499425It wasn't explored, we only got vague implications about it.
>>23499456We got plenty enough to explain his motivation. Again what more did you want?
>>23499468>Again what more did you want?For it to not just be a borderline background detail and for Suga to not be a such a wasted villain given how interesting he seemed to be. Somehow they managed to fumble every single villain in the show.

Name three action scenes just stuck with you.Trying to get to grips on what makes a great action scene and I was thinking seeing what stays with people here over the years should give some idea.1) Shouma and Lakia's Dousuru fight 2) Aruto vs Robodad in the first Zero One movie3) Gentarou vs his school principal in the finale
>>23499610I always return to that fight with Ex-Aid Muteki beating down Para-DX to an inch of his life.
>>23499547umm, do they know what americans think fo guns in their children's shows?
>>23499621Americans can fucking man up desu
>>23499610That Clock Up fight in the rain early on in Kabuto really stuck with me and was the scene that got me interested in Kamen Rider.
>>23499631The set-up for it is pretty great too. This one and the highway fight later on in the series are great.
>>23499631Most if not all of Kabuto's fights are feasts for the eyes. Clock Up is such a cool gimmick.
>>23499610The first Fire Gotchard fight, unironically
>>23499610kabuto, zeroone, saber geats&gavv are my fave go-to action scenes
>>23499610Call me autistic or whatever, but I hate how in that zero one fight they break the 180 degree rule when Aruto catches his robodad's fist, it's really jarring. The rest of the scene is good though.
>>23499610>an unstable prototype form>TWO berserk forms>an evil/corrupted formMan Aruto really got the short end of the stick.

>>23499631>>23499635Kabuto's choreography just hits different, Idk how and why it rocks so much even though Kabuto's fighting style is walk and punch. But something about that movements really seem badass
>>23499730Tendou's style is basically aggressive counterattacking
>>23499731That and his fighting style is very snappy and doesn't rely on a bunch of special powers and/or toys like a lot of more modern Riders do. He has that knife/gun/axe weapon, but aside from its versatility, it really isn't all that flashy.
>>23499737yeah, clearly he doesn't have special powers and toys

I am watching my first Kamen Rider show right now and it is very fun. I will continue watching Kamen Rider
>>23499826
>>23499826Glad you're having fun, I really have fond memories of W, also most of W's side content and sequels are good which is a rarity for Rider
>>23499826Starting with W is a good idea. Good story, characters, action. Good time.
>>23499755anon I was being sarcastic, he literally has clock up
>>23499468>>23499425>>23499293Here comes the Gavv Defender
>>23499857ah but so do the enemies
Is Fuuto PI good? As a manga? Apparently it's still ongoing? Pretty long running huh
>>23499876It's more W stories, but with away more tits.
>>23499876Yeah it's really good if you liked W, the Anime adaptation is also good
>>23499873I dunno his clock up seems way better
>>23499876It's written by Riku Sanjo, who was the head writer of the W TV show, so it's tonally consistent and actually canon. Being in a manga/anime format opens it up to wilder Dopant concepts and more mature content. The anime is good, as is the companion movie that expands on the Begins Night/Skull story. The manga unfortunately and inexplicably doesn't have an official English translation and scanlations are way behind.
>>23499918>The manga unfortunately and inexplicably doesn't have an official English translation and scanlations are way behind.AAAAIIIIEEEEE
>>23499906Ah but Tendou is a NEET so it balances out.
>>23499918The reason is basically that when Toei gave licensing for rights of the Kuuga Manga so that it could get an official translation, the quality was so bad that the translation company had to recall the international volume releases, costing them a lot of money. So after that Toei got disillusioned and never tried translating more Manga into English.As for fan translations the Manga was picked up by subber group known as Genm Corp, while the actual subber from the group were competent enough, the leader of the group was a egotistical asshole who would drop projects early on and treat the members like shit, on top of that he would harass anyone that tried subbing something the group had started, even if they hadn't continued subbing the projects for years, to this guy basically prevented any english fan translations and no 4chan subber has decided to pick any Kamen Rider manga aside from Shin Spirits whose translations are going slow. The subbers from Genm Corp left the guy so the group is basically dead now but from my understanding the guy keeps harassing people, but I don't know if that's actually true or not, he might have just quit internet.
Night shot
>>23499935It doesn't help that the Kuuga manga is fucking garbage and people should know better by now that Inoue needs to be kept on a tight leash or he starts doing unhinged shit like Asakura being birthed into a toilet and eating his mother's shit.
>>23499925Do you ask the sun to go to work?
>>23499963I have only ever seen third worlders talk about the Kuuga manga which tells me everything I need to know. Funnily enough though I stopped by Barnes & Nobles the other day for some other stuff and saw they actually had the Kuuga manga on the shelves which surprised me.
>>23499906Only Hyper Clock Up, which I actually never cared much for. They attempt to have this psychological battle with Kabuto and Dark Kabuto reading each other, but in the end Tendo winning by "surprising" him with sudden Hyper Clock up doesn't feel satisfying at all.The only thing that really countered Hyper Clock up was time stop. Really, Dark Kabuto should have had Rider and Hyper forms, not Masked, and the final few worms should have been able to go Hyper too.
>>23499970When I plant tomatoes, yes.
This is the fastest I seen an actress that never did any bikini or gravure stuff before their Toku show appearance go from the show they where on to a bikini or gravure shoot after the show ended.

hyper clock is so op that why they have to nerf it
Is the whole Keiwa Kekera plotline just to call out people who think that being a Rider should be painful and suffering?
>>23500145Yes. Takahashi is a bitter faggot and Geats' meta subtext was just to he could take shots at his critics and Toei producers.

Part of an interview with Mr. Ryutaro Imai, who plays Baku, and Ms. Maho Horiguchi, who plays Nemu>Kamen Rider is often filmed in the morning. Do you have any tips for waking up early?Imai: I always tell myself, "If I'm not at the set, the shooting can't start". Now I'm stronger in the mornings and can wake up normally.Horiguchi: I've never liked mornings. I really can't wake up early. But since we started filming this, I've gotten a lot better. I set my alarm about 15 times every morning.>Fifteen times?Horiguchi: I usually wake up the first time but end up going back to sleep. I really get up around the third alarm! (laughs)>Have you watched Kamen Rider series before?Horiguchi: I have a younger brother, so I've seen it here and there. I especially like Kamen Rider Wizard and Kamen Rider Ex-Aid. I'm really happy that the script for Zeztz was written by Yuya Takahashi, who also wrote for Ex-Aid.Imai: I watched Kamen Rider W, and I especially liked Philip.>The costumes in this show are excellent. Can you tell us what you especially like?Imai: I like the "form-fitting" shirts a lot.>Actually, Baku is a good-looking young man (talking about himself), quite ordinary, but in his dreams, his body looks a bit more muscular.Imai: That's right. I like that the costume was designed deliberately to look form-fitting. For example, the printed patterns, ring, and ear covers are packed with elements that guys like. When he becomes an agent, his hair "spikes up," so he has to style it every time, which is something cute in itself.>I've heard that Nemu, played by Ms. Horiguchi, is created to take on various roles in people's dreams.Horiguchi: My makeup and costumes are created to fit the dream world of each person. I think you'll see many different sides of Nemu. And importantly, today's costume is my favorite. I especially like the bag; I take care of it like a partner.(1/?)
>>23500290>Kamen Rider Zeztz also appears in the movie "Kamen Rider Gavv the Movie: The Sweet House Invasion". How has the reception been after it's release?Imai: I've received a lot of positive messages. The transformation looks really cool, right? I'm very happy everyone got to see it early. But when filming with senior actors like Yusuke Hino (Hanto), I worried they might say, "This transformation probably wouldn't work!" (laughs) I was a bit worried because we shot at locations different from usual, but the crew worked together very smoothly.>Did you talk with Kenta Nitta, the suit actor who plays Kamen Rider Zeztz, about the transformation scenes?Imai: We mainly talked about his posture as an agent and what happens after the transformation. We discussed details like "How will he fight?" and "How should we record his voice?" to build this character. In that sense, I think "Kamen Rider Zeztz" is actually created by two people.>Is there anything about director Kamihoriuchi's directing that impressed you?Imai: The most memorable moment was the first time I read the script. I have to thank director Kamihoriuchi for making me reaffirm the love put into the work and the importance of the character Baku. During the shoot after that, he told me, "He's a cool guy, so try acting cool!" I really appreciated that.(2/3)
>>23500293>What was the most challenging part of your acting?Imai: Given the setting of a "flawless spy", I struggled with the question, "What kind of acting would be best?" Just being cool alone doesn't make anyone "flawless". Baku often says, "In my dreams, I'm flawless". So, "flawless" is the key theme. Expressing that flawlessness and making it look like he can never lose was very difficult.Horiguchi: This is my first time being a regular cast member. There are many things I didn't know about acting, but Kamihoriuchi taught me everything from script reading. He enthusiastically coached me on how to play this role, even after shooting ended. One of his lines to me was, "Only you can play Nemu, so you have to give it your all to make it the best." That made me feel like I really had to work hard, so I always kept that in mind during filming.>Now that the series is about to air, what do you two think is the highlight of the first episode?Horiguchi: Definitely the battles that happen only in the dream world are a highlight. At the same time, the drama of the real world is also portrayed interestingly. I think viewers will enjoy both worlds.Imai: I want you to pay attention especially to the beginning of "Kamen Rider Zeztz", like "how he transforms and why". I'd also be glad if you notice the differences between how the dream and reality are presented.>Is it necessary to act differently in the dream scenes and the real-world scenes?Imai: For example, Baku's interactions with people change between the dream and real worlds, and his behavior changes as well. He is completely a different character in the dream and in reality. However, the core essence of his character remains the same. I hope you enjoy this world of the work through Baku's role.(3/3)
Zeztz's Cast commented on Radio Ranger, hopefully someone transliterates or posts the video
>>23500290>>23500293>>23500297What's the point of sharing this? Most people not gonna watch the show..they already hate takahashi's guts like this guy>>23500149
>>23500297
>>23500119No, you're just a gay mongoloid.
>>23499194>>23499214Thank you for posting this, when was the last time we got a CD Drama this substantial? It's so weird that it was written by Suga's actor himself, because that would imply that neither Komura, Takebe or Takijima intended to explore his backstory which is perplexing.With his backstory not being combat focused this would have been perfect as a blu-ray mini-series like the ones Taiga, Gentoku and Logos got for example, I don't get why Takebe prefers the blu-ray extras simply being the cast doing funny hijinks when they already do that on those TTFC extras.
>>23498731I wonder how this will apply to combat? Erasing the color would stop people in their tracks or would it be something like straight up fucking up with the Nightmare's host's mind the more damage he does to the Dream World?>>23500045Based CraneJoe >>23497656>>23497771I really like how Yezz's finisher standby sounds
>>23499194>>23499214A summary of the drama CDs by color, it's mostly the same things you already said but I'm going to post it just in case>Tactics in the Operating RoomThe final conversation between Suga and Nyelve before Suga's death.Nyelve fused and modified Suga with the Granute with Suga's consent.>>Regarding Suga's surgical recordsUp to now, there have been 12 experimental subjects in total, including Hanto.It seems the first experimental subject of Suga was his wife, who voluntarily agreed to it.>Suga's Ultimate Case-13Two familiar impostors appear.Suga mentions his research philosophy.Also, Suga actually underwent surgery on himself, implanting Granute's organs into his own body.The extremely painful screams suggest there was no anesthesia—very terrifying.Suga considers lullabies as painkillers (both physical and mental).>Encounters of ScientistsThe last part describes the encounter between Nyelv and Suga.Their first meeting was inside a bookstore.Suga's alias: Daigo KoichiInside Suga's suitcase, there was a person—still alive.(1/2)
>>23500318Mutsuki's actor looks older.
>>23500391>If coffee is a poison, it is a slow poison.(This phrase actually has a true story behind it. In the late 18th century, the Swedish King Gustav III, wanting to study the effects of coffee on human health, planned an experiment aimed at proving that coffee was harmful.He ordered two twin brothers who had been sentenced to death to be the test subjects. Their death sentences were commuted to life imprisonment on the condition that one of them drink three pots of tea daily, while the other drink three pots of coffee every day. The king appointed two doctors to monitor the experiment and report their findings to him.Unfortunately, before the experiment was completed, both doctors passed away. The king himself was assassinated in 1792 and never saw the results of the experiment. Of the two convicts, the tea drinker died first at the age of 83, while the death date of the coffee drinker is unknown.Using this story as a title essentially implies that, like this experimental king, Suga died before he could witness or learn the results of his own experiments.)(2/2)
>>23500396That hairdo doesn't do him any favors, but all things considered the 4 riders of Blade aged pretty well, also Kenzaki looks younger here than when he appeared in Zi-O for some resson. Wish Hikasa would have done an anniversary movie ratherrather than a stage show but at least it was good I guess.
>>23500318You just know.
This year for Zeztz, TV Asahi's official website features a weekly blog written from the perspective of a patrol officer (It seems this year is truly focused on a criminal investigation drama style) >This is the police station, you know. Even if you say you had a strange dream and came to consult us, we still...>Although I’m also a police officer, I’m a clerical staff member after all, so I really don’t understand much about things that happen on the scene...>Huh? You say there’s definitely a department responsible for handling nightmares? W-why do you know about that...>Indeed, under the Ministry of Public Security, there seems to be a division called the "Strange Affairs Section"... Alright then!>I will gradually provide everyone with various information. Let’s all get along well this year!

I really do fuck with Ex-Aid very hard, shame that it had to come out right before Build, feels like it stole a lot of it's momentum and presence even though I do stand by Ex aid being the better series
>>23500434>even though I do stand by Ex aid being the better seriesI love Ex-Aid and build but I do kind of disagree with this, I think Ex-Aid kind of loses the plot with the reset and revival. You can say what you will about the tail end of Build getting a little repetitive but hey, at least it's Evolt the whole time and Evolt is cool.Obviously this comes down to personal preference, but speaking as someone else who loves Ex-Aid thats why I kind of ultimately prefer Build.Also I get really upset when shows totally waste their secondary so that's another issue I have with Ex-Aid, but I kind of just pretend Snipe is the secondary so it's fine.
>>23500434Zoomer
Chinen Hidekazu and Yusuke Hino preparing for their flight to China where they'll have a fan meeting>>23500434But Ex-Aid is almost universally beloved just like Build, what screwed Ex-Aid's discussion was /v/ and Zero-One which made the Takahashi dicksucker/slanderer anon (really any writer of an ongoing season at this point) go mental.
>>23500443How are those knees holding up gramps
I don't know if it's because I got a vacation from work today but is it me or is /krg/ and /ssg/ worse than usual? As if most people that weren't newfags left the site or something
>>23500451New season is starting up soon so the shitposters are extremely active. Also last season had a weak finale and next season is Takahashi so they have a lot to shitpost/bait/samefag over.
>>23500434>>23500442who cares, those are great series dgaf about it
>>23500451>As if most people that weren't newfags left the site or somethingPretty sure that's every single board post hack, turns out "you're here forever" was a lie
>>23500363>It's so weird that it was written by Suga's actor himself, because that would imply that neither Komura, Takebe or Takijima intended to explore his backstory which is perplexing.Well, when Frappe Custom debuted it was revealed that Suga's actor had been given a setting memo about the character by Komura to base his performance on. Presumably, Asanuma also based at least part of the CD Drama's story on this memo, but it is weird that they left it up to him instead of the show's head writer (even though she still supervised).
What I wouldn't give for a new show by Riku Sanjo......Or atleast for Futo Tantei to get properly fucking (fan) translated.
>>23500497Do it yourself, as long as you are good at using Photoshop while also being a good editor that knows the context of Kamen Rider / Fuuto PI, you could probably do it with a mtl as long as you're upfront about it. I wish I wasn't lazy, I was going to do the same for Ninku but after 6 chapters I just kind off gave up at translating like that, it's not fun when you're only one person doing all the work but also things can get out of control when you're doing it with a team. I recommend looking for someone that could help you out, maybe by making a scanlation thread on /a/ you could find someone willing.
>>23500497I wonder why they haven't brought Riku Sanjo back, I know most of the current producers don't have his contact but they could just do what Omori did for Kyoryuger and ask Tsukada for it, Riku Sanjo seems like the kind of guy that would be willing to write another season as long as it has an adventure-like setting or a strong sense of world building, and he seems like he has enough time for it since he's taking a lot of breaks for Fuuto PI and from my understanding he's pretty much done with Beet's story and the reason it gets delayed a lot is because of the artist's health. I don't know how involved he is on that Dragon Quest prequel done by the Zipman guy.

>>23500546He's occupied with the revival of Yoroiden Samurai Troopers at the moment, but if anyone can bring Muto back it's Zeztz's producer Yanaka, since I think he's the only producer that's still around that worked on Build. I forget, did Hiroki Koide work on Buid too or did he work on another Omori season?
>>23500564I assume you mean Daiki Koide, yeah he's another AP that worked on Build that's still around, he was also an AP for Ex-Aid, Kyuranger and Zi-O. I wonder how involved he actually was on Shin Kamen Rider since he had to co-produce it with Anno's usual producer Tomoyuki Ogata plus Anno and Shirakura being pretty handsy with that project.
Just me that gets a strange feeling to fap to asian scat porn and then watch tokusatsu right after? Seeing all the asians in a japanese live action helps me to get immersed like being take to a different dimension, however, watching scat porn kinda makes negates that for some time, it's not a different dimension anymore, but my own dirtydimension made of flesh and poop.
>>23500625We get anons like this and you faggots still get mad when I call out porn addicted retards
>>23500630You are replying to yourself.
>>23500625If you're that desperate to shitpost just go to India and get gangraped there to fulfill your dream, they're probably into the same sick shit as you, now leave 4chan permanently>>23500564Apparently he was really involved with the making of Schocker for the movie, but as far as I'm aware they never went into specifics about what each one did, but presumably Anno made almost every creative decision so he probably wasn't that involved besides hiring talent maybe?
>>23500633No you fucking idiot you bumbling buffoon
Been out of the toku game pretty much since Gaim finished airing. Are any of the Reiwa stuff worth watching, or is it more of the same gimmicky bullshit, ad nauseam? I’ll probably try out Zetsz since it’s right around the corner, but was looking for something good to get me in the mood
>>23500793Gavv is pretty good.
>>23500798Is it though? Or is it mainly recency bias? Honestly asking
>>23500802Okay, ask me again in a couple of years. All I can really say is I liked it much more than Revice and Gotchard. And Geats was mid.
>>23500793I can recommend Zero-One and Saber. Saber does start pretty bad though, it's worth sticking with but the first dozen episodes are rough. It has a good message and the finale is great. Zero-One's pretty solid overall with a good cast and story. The tournament arc in the middle of the show is fucking dogshit even though it introduces a fun character for the rest of the show.
>>23500793Gavv is a good season, has some detractors because it starts as some of the best Rider's ever been but doesn't maintain that momentum, just ending up being a good season.Geats is generally looked on favorably but some people don't like the final portions.Zero-One was fairly good but it got buttfucked by lockdown retooling forcing the last portion to be rushed and an extremely bad arc across 10 episodes in the middle of the series.So there hasn't yet been any series in Reiwa with as positive a reception as the high points in Heisei but there's still some good stuff. I think it's more a testament to how strong Phase 2 Heisei was overall.
>>23499280Was she always that thin? Either way, hot.
>>23500793Saber and Gavv.
>>23500793Every show has a high quantity of toys, even more so than before, it's not like Sentai or Rider will ever stop being toy commercials. That's said Gavv and seemingly the upcoming season Zeztz are closer to seasons from W to Gaim in terms of toy shilling.Ex-Aid, Build and Gavv are pretty beloved seasons overall, Ex-Aid and Build do pick in their first half, in Gavv's case I the first quarter, but manage to stay consistently entertaining from beginning to end.Drive has a slow start and Saber has a bad start, but both improve drastically after their first quarter and end up being really entertaining overall, so if you're patient I recommend those two too.Zero-One and Geats have amazing action and direction, plus some really cool concepts, but as a whole product while overall good they're really flawed due to the producers doing some really dumb decisions that led the show astray and the rest of the staff not being able to do enough to make up for it. But they're still a fun time I'd say, just go with lower expectations.Zi-O is really poorly written but is considered fun if you want a "turn your brain off" type show, make that as you will.Gotchard is extremely average, the producer tried being extremely safe which dragged the show drastically and makes it not stand out that much.Ghost and Revice are bad, the only silver lining I can give is that Ghost has some reallreally good emotional moments that are enhanced by the side material which is are mostly great and that Revice's first half, mainly the first 18 episodes are really great, but the second half for a lot of people ruined the rest of the show and makes it worse on a re-watch.
>>23500793Black Sun is a fun time until the last episode which kind of ruins the whole show, ultimately it's up to you whether to decide if 1 episode is enough to make a show feel like a waste of time, if not you'll probably enjoy it.Shin Kamen Rider feels clunky but it was reworked into a miniseries which turns it into a pretty great project.Fuuto PI is mostly done by the same staff as W despite being an anime, and the animation staff is really passionate about the project, so chances are that if you liked W you'll most likely also enjoy Fuuto PI.
>>23500798>>23500805>>23500807>>23500812>>23500841Cool, thanks guys. I’ll check it out
>>23500853>>23500857Does the miniseries version of Shin add any footage? Or does it just flow better in shorter chunks
>>23500865It adds about 14 to 20 minutes of footage I think, mostly contributing to a longer epilogue
>>23500793Nearly every Reiwa show (Zero-One, Revice, Geats, Gavv) starts great but declines in quality starting from Q2. The only exceptions are Saber, which has a weak start but increases in quality starting from Q2, and Gotchard, which has a weak start and end but is mostly mediocre for most of its run. Every show has great action, with Geats and Gavv having the most consistent, creative and over the top fight scenes courtesy of their action director Satoshi Fujita.The ones I personally recommend are Saber and Gavv. Although Gavv does decline in quality, it doesn't fall off nearly as badly as the other shows, even after it enters its lull it's still pretty decent with a few great episodes here and there until the last 10 or so episodes, which are kinda weak. And despite Saber having a rocky start (there's some good episodes in there though), afterwards it's consistently really good (outside of two badly paced and directed episodes in the middle) and it has constant highs, ending with what is in my opinion one of the best final arcs in the franchise.
Gotta love how Saber was force memed into /krg/ooners thinking it's good
>>23500882I was never on the Saber hate train to begin with.

He may not be the strongest Rider but his determination and heart more than make up for it>Another Agito has always been one of my favorite designs and Kino as a character is pretty cool, though I found it funny that it's implied that he chased Majima and Ryo across town at a menacing walk basically all day that one time>Speaking of, Ryo still can't catch a break but Exceed Gills is great because his powerup is basically just getting pointier and angrier.>Hojo is STILL a bitch (though admittedly he gets a little better once he stops seething over G3 and starts just jabbing at Ozawa and he actually gets some useful work done)
>>23501100Just feels like a redo of Geats. Without Omori, it just feels like Takahashi is repeating himself.

>>23501196He's a freelance producer at the moment, he hasn't specifically gone anywhere but so far he's been hired Toho and Animester, although the latter wasn't as a chief producer meaning the Minizilla project is the only thing he has done since lesving

>>23501381>was he trying to be a JAV actor or was he tricked into filming thisThe latter, it was a one time thing he did for money since his acting career wasn't doing so well.
>>23501399I mean this guy can complain on Twitter all he wants Zeztz is still gonna be a thing.
>>23501399So... which one is A?
>>23499610Firstly every Sakamoto directed fight, but standouts in no particular order:Kabuto’s keikaku slapfight with Dark Kabuto. Terui Ryu punches everyone. Decade assassinates Skyrider. Garren jobs for an entire half season then no diffs Leangle in two seconds.
>>23501399Bro should post the concept stuff he made if he wants to be legit. Anyway D-Diver is a rip off of Shark Boy and Lava Girl.
>>23501413Mr. A is movie producer at Toei, Mr. B is from TV production.
>>23501425Not according to him, I guess
>>23501399How could have Toei plagiarized him if he hasn't come into contact with them and the dream concept was made by Takahashi who's not a producer?I'm not even sure why he's doing this before the show is even out, wouldn't he have a better case if the first episode aired, which would guarantee the concept is close to his? Without Zeztz itself not being out yet I'm not sure if the Japanese will even bother supporting him.
>>23501456It’s just like Gantz’s Hiroya Oku accused Geats of plagiarizing his idea back then. Takahashi’s shows often leaned towards concepts already popularized in manga, anime… so it’s kinda bound to happen.
>>23501367>even /ssg/ doesn’t defend Donbrothers writingyou're not even there, there are lots of defenders I'm just saying good, not great, why are you so mad?

>>23497979Hard to say. Takahashi can write good stuff he can be good. But we will see.
>>23498659You didn't watch the cam footage spoiler from the Gavv movie of Zeztz henshin? He actually says Henshin.
>>23501752Because you have to also make the cast ninjas as part of their occupation. And also build a villain around that.

>less than 24 hours of ZeztzCan't wait bros
>>23501794Me neither. The preview trailer has me hooked.
I wonder if their advertising will work when it comes to the USA. People watch alot of shounen anime like JJK or Demon Slayer, will they watch this or go "eww power rangers, and it's not dubbed!"
another zetsu!
>>23501801vagina eyes
>>23501800Do you see it actually advertised anywhere besides Twitter? Apparently Zeztz stuff is going to be appearing at an american comic convention of some kind with a four episode long live watch in one of its theaters, which'll most likely be the largest amount of eyes it'll have on it. It'll be interesting to see just how many people end up watching it outside of the usual tokusphere.

>>23501367Donbrothers with it's lack of planning and writing is still a far better show than any Reiwa Rider.
>>23497823Is it really a different camera than they used before?
Donbrothers is the fastest I've ever dropped a toku show. I even made it further with Gotchard.
>>23501821And kingoher still the best reiwa rider we've ever had.

>>23501399Dude needs to watch more stuff. Someone transforming into a superhero in a dream isn't new. The key characteristic here is the belt and suit but that's just a detail that's interchangeable with any other gimmick. Toei being Toei locks that detail in and I'd be surprised as fuck if they haven't had proposals for a dream rider in all these decades when we just finished up a snack rider.
>>23501838They should legit give him a chance. I think he would kick ass with it.
I'm hyped bros. After 3 long years the show that's unironically about dreams and nightmares has woken me up from my deep, deep slumber.

>>23497093Zero-one, it's kino.
Is the Zeztz stream still can be replayed at least a day?
>I have to workAHHHHH
>>23497093The best ending out of all Rider shows so far was Blade. Kenzaki proves to be a true hero and sacrifices himself in a way that no one ever asked him to do. By far the most noble end.Second is Kiva; that final battle with the Dark Rider deprived of his Rider form and reverting to a second kaijin form was awesome, followed by that wild ending with Kiva III and Neo-Fangires, papa!Den-O and Kabuto get honorable mentions.Kuuga, Agito are good, but pretty standard. Kuuga's final battle in particular is stellar.Ryuki and Faiz's endings were a little depressing; Decade doesn't fucking have an ending, Hibiki got ruined by Kiriya.Double was kinda ruined by Philip coming back to life.Reiwa endings are all boring shit, and Zeztz will be, too. They don't have any bite anymore.
>>23502539Pajeet, why are you even watching RIder? It's not for you.
>>23502556>They don't have any bite anymoreSays the same guy who claims Kuuga, Agito, Kabuto and Den-O's endings are good.
>>23502571...They are good though lmao
>>23502576Yeah, but they don't have any bite, they are thoroughly happy endings.
>>23502558>It's not for you.wrong series to say about this, anon the cast and staff literally keep talking about international audience
>The best ending out of all Rider shows so far was Blade. Kenzaki proves to be a true hero and sacrifices himself in a way that no one ever asked him to do. By far the most noble end.I watched the Blade movie recently and I thought it was really cool that they used the fact that it was an AU like the Ryuki and Faiz movies to basically indicate that sealing Hajime would lead to a "bad end" of sorts. Where each person is at in their life when the movie starts just feels wrong for them, and of course even though Hajime is unsealed his life has to be sacrificed to save the day. Even though the movie has its own resolution, I like that it backs up Kenzaki's choice to become an Undead as the best solution.
>>23502604Dang, forgot my reply >>23502556

>>23502641Mutsuki is a wageslave with PTSD, Kotaro became a snobby rich guy, Kenzaki's a garbage man, and Tachibana has had to continue fighting without the others for four years. Aside from that, the two new riders also get straight-up murdered. It's obviously not as bleak as Paradise Lost, but I definitely think it's a bad end compared to series Blade.
