>>23506477Follow the rules laid out in the fucking text you always copypaste, you're not supposed to make threads before Page 8 or Image limit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-MHA7V0eWkMasahiro talking about Zeztz's first episode.
>>23506491Already been like 10 minutes, autismo
Like or dislike Zeztz's suit now?
>>23506509Look at the timestamps of OP and that post, retard.
>>23506512I rike it. The details do look really shoddily stitched up when you zoom in, but the overall silhouette, palette, and sneaks are good.
>>23506512Seeing it in action helped it a lot. I loved the veiny muscle it had
Saber and OOO are now 5 and 15 years old respectively, let's celebrate their anniversaries by saying something nice about them.
>>23506485Nem' actress' delivery could have been better, the CGI of Baku falling off a building and kicking the Nightmare into different worlds looked wonky, the introduction of the cops felt rushed and the Rider action could have been better.But otherwise it was an excellent debut. Baku was really likeable this first episode, his sister was entertaining too, and the direction for everything else was top-tier.
>>23506535OOO is one of the best overall shows in the franchise and has a top tier OP.Saber ended.
>>23506512I like the design overall, but I do wonder whether they should've added some kind of detailing at the waistline to compensate for the lack of a traditional belt.
Eh, it was funnier in my head, not sure how big the overlap of people that would fully get the reference here is.Big thanks to gravureanon for hooking me up with some Lopo goods.
>>23506650A more subtle reference and alternate version. I was hoping the actual episode would have a good shot I could use but the promotional pic from the main account ended up looking the best.
Nox is FAT
>>23506653And the true highlight of this whole project, I stitched up the gravure shot for the people too laze to stitch it themselves if they're interested.
>>23506660Booba
So is the theme/motif of Zeztz Dreams? Like Nights and the Nightmare in Kirby. I thought he was going to be alien related from that last ep in Gavv.
>>23506669>So is the theme/motif of Zeztz Dreams?Yes anon, the title's abbreviated form is literally ZZZ
>>23506650>>23506653Kek. Thanks anon I now think of that Simpsons episode but with
>>23506660Bless you
how many times do you think baku lucid dreamed himself having sex with nem
>>23506676Oh cool. Wonder how the Henshin will work then. The belt is in reality with him, but they may give him narcolepsy when he henshins
>>23506705Well for now at least, the whole idea seems to be that he'll be infiltrating peoples' dreams to stop the nightmares attacking them, so I expect it to be something akin to Wizard entering someone's mind during fights. I'm sure at some point that will shift into him fighting nightmares in the real world, whether that happens fairly early on or later in the show remains to be seen though. We've already seen some nightmare fuckery is happening in the real world with the mystery villain trying to kill the MC, so of course it's just a matter of time.
>>23506700How do we feel about Baku's Uncharted/007/Persona non-henshin'd dream getup?I think it's kind of a neat gimmick and I like that they just gave him a real ass gun to fight with, even if they explicitly gave him rubber bullets to keep it kid-friendly (despite it all being a dream so who cares anyway lmao)
>>23506660Big preesh anon
>aiiiiiie Jason help me!
>>23506650>"Watashi wa anata ni heiwa desu.">"Watashi wa anata ni ai desu."
>>23506485Typical Takahashi. He's always good at first episodes and I expect Q1 will be pretty strong but I'm not holding out hope for Zeztz to break the Reiwa curse.
>>23506512I like the design overall but it looks better in certain lighting over others. Aside from the whole belt thing it's a fairly simple design, which I can appreciate when stacked next to the more elaborate/"loud" designs we've been getting the past few years.
>>23506535OOO is my favorite Rider and managed to be a fairly good show with a great cast despite mid season production issues.I haven't watched Saber yet but I like the concept and the suit designs.
>>23506512I think it looks cool but there are moments I think it looks awkward. Still, I'd say I like it better than every other Reiwa base suit except Revi and maybe Gavv.
>>23506512I really dislike the shoes Reiwa suits are using; it looks fine when the legs are armored, but they look too bulky when the suit is just fabric like here.
It's probably too soon to ask this question but once Zeztz finishes what would be a good site to gauge if Zeztz was a critical success in the west, IMDB? Or is there simply not a good site to analyze that due to toku not being that big in the west, thus the only way to know is when Toei eventually holds a shareholder meeting after the show ends?

>>23506717I will be really surprised if there isn't a Nightmare referencing Freddy the claw is just too iconic
>>23506808
>>23506812
>>23506811Picrel was by the same designer, I feel like we'll eventually get a villain general who's inspired by Freddy
>>23506790>>23506793>>23506795Cute attires, also goddamn Glotta is tall
>>23506805>Removed unnecessary signs that either take up the whole screen or can’t just be inferred from dialogue itselfFuck off.
Tommorow is Asaya Kimijima birthday
>>23506364How so? The western distribution is more limited and poorly marketed, and on the episode thread there's only 2 people that are new to Rider watching ZeztzIf anything Kamen Rider stopped being niche with Ghost because that's when the influx of shitposters started growing each passing year
>>23506839Fuck wrong photoSourcehttps://x.com/wakasekai/status/1964766396119994703?s=46
How many main riders came back from death because of their belt? I can only think of drive.
>>23506837>I really need to know all the names of the books Baku has to know he's an secret agent otaku and not all the memoriabla that already covers his roomcontext clue is thinking skills #1
>>23506851Technically Kuuga, Fourze revived too but it was due to the switch rather than the belt
>>23506857nta but those are neat details and it also shows us important stuff like the wall that shows Baku's memories or the document explaining the previous black casesThis scrub is closer to the official subs most people complain about because they're allergic to tl notes
>>23506857Defend your shitty subs all you want, I won't be using them.
>>23506650Bootleg Rinko.
Baku's sister looks too much like Rita
>>23506857Anon, you realize translating large amounts of on-screen text that relates to the characters/situation is something that fansubs are supposed to do and are super rare for official subs right?
Yall mfs lied to me about Revice, this shit is good im not listening to yall opinions ever again
>>23506867>>23506878>>23506897Fair enough. I'm collecting all the feedback given and will make adjustments for the AMZN release
>>23506851Him freaking the fuck out when he see the belt IRL is the funniest part of the episode to me.
>>23506906Same, I'm not even sure why I found it so funny, but props to Imai. It seems like he'll be just like Chinen last year where we'll have a protagonist actor that's slightly better than usual.
>>23506834173cm tall to be exact.
>>23506906The high-pitched scream really caught me off guard in a good way. I can already tell Baku's going to be a fun lead.
>>23506878I prefer these details to be included as much as possible. I mean if people don't want to see them then just turn off or disable the sub tracks for those parts for soft subs.
How would you feel if Baku never interacts with the real Nem once in the show and only ever interacts with his idealized dream version and the real Nem never meets him or even knows he exists?Also I hope this series incorporates heavy usage of insert songs.
>>23506969>it wasn't just the heels, Lizel's actress is indeed taller than Jiip's
>>23506903How far are into the show?
>>23507016He’s going to be meet different folks’ interpretations of Nem throughout the show, most not knowing who Baku is. It’ll definitely be an interesting dynamic.
>>2350704335 eps. And even if it gets worse after this, its still been more bad than good
>>23507065I mean more good than bad, sorry
>>23506969Why does Lakia, the largest Granute, not simply eat the others?
>>23506783You didn't have to post all that shit, most of Mydramalist is SEA anyway. But yeah we would need to wait until the shareholders meeting, there's just no site to determine the majoritarian west opinions for a toku show.
>>23506969shouma is taller than 99% of the cast yet he looks like a manlet in every scene he's inmust be the costume
This fight is gonna go hard
Deepest lore
Reposting that Lemon leak. He said he doesn't know if it's for a new rider or a power up.
Thanks Umasho
>>23506783Cegarth, shut the fuck up already, nobody here cares about you and your buddies' favorite irrelevant website. Your autistic ass should stop wasting its time on this shit.

>>23507025jeeb is for strapon
>>23507079Because he's lazy, anon.
>>23507122Thanks Ei
>>23507122thanks man
>>23506745I'm really pulling for him to actually pull off an Ex-Aid more than a Zero One.
>>23506783Technically twitter since it's the one that's the most widely used, but of course whenever twitter gets posted here it's just attentionwhores shilling their account
>>23506512Still not a big fan. But it's nothing bad either>>23506485Didn't have me wowed like better first episodes do. But it was inoffensive. Baku himself was good, and Kami's direction is always welcome. But it's worrying(?) that I enjoyed the cold open Agent action way more than the actual in suit fight
>>23507025That scene was crazy. Is that really the first time we’ve seen them stand next to each other?
>>23506512Same thoughts as before, the suit itself looks really good but it still feels too soon for an Ichigo homage. Ultimately out of the mainline Ichigo homages I'd rank the suits as suchBlack > Ichigo > Gotchard > Zeztz > Zero-One > Skyrider > Ichigo (New)
>>23507150>Gotchard and Black are homages Are they really?
>>23507158I think yeah, iirc Black was supposed to be a modern edgier interpretation of OG Kamen Rider and Gotchard's helmet is straight up Ichigo eating two arrows, he has a hopper and train motif because of Ichigo and Den-O's popularity.
Did Shirakura still respond to people on Twitter? If he does, can someone ask him if the Reiwa Mask theory is real or just a coincidence
>>23507172Didn't he stop after "you shouldn't know about Trinity"?
>>23507136Ex-Aid got hampered by Genm's explosive popularity though. It was clearly rewritten around him returning to the show after his first death.
>>23506805>fansubs are evolving backwards after an official releaseYou hate to see it. It was bad enough having to watch anime fansubs go extinct
>>23507110>american wheel setupWhat did they mean by this?
>>23507108I wonder how will he even work as a secondary, the implication I got from the leaks and Yanaka's interview is that Nox will remain a villain during Q2 even though he'll already be a Rider by January
>Kazuya Kamihoriuchi>Kashiwagi Hiroki >Kyohei Yamaguchi>Takayuki Shibasaki>Koichiro HayamaDoes Zeztz's first half have a strong director lineup?
>>23507225It's interesting how Hiroki and Hayama are mostly drama directors, must be because of Tanaka being mostly a drama producer
>>23507122minor typo
Sexchika...
I know that feel bro
>>23507203Unlike Kiriya, who was given flowers and was later written back into the show due to popularity, Kuroto's actor never received flowers which meant he hadn't wrapped up his work on the show when the character first died.
>>23506535They should make OOO 15th and retcon that one that's not supposed to exist. Oh come on, Hurricaneger and Dekaranger can have two anniversary specials, surely KR can afford one simply if the cast wants it.But at the same time that certain movie is notoriously low budget so maybe that's why.
I haven't watched Zeztz yet....... is this what FOMO feels like
Imagine lumping trash with peak
>>23507469There's no way you don't have like 20 minutes to spare, it's definitely worth it.
>>23506768personally I still think Zero-One had the best base form overall
>>23506905>>23506805Does this translate Henshin as Henshin?Does this use honorifics?[Spoiler]I like Meztzamero with a TL note up top but that's just me[/spoiler]
>>23506969>Main rider trio is taller than me
>>23507475I rarely watch toku when it airs, plus I prefer to watch them on big screen. I'll get to that when I finish work later.
>>23507104It's definitely the costume. While Lizel is taller than Jeepbh she looks like 5cm taller, likely due to high heels.
>>23507481I can see why. Zero-One does look cool, but I just don't like the small eyes and the ugly yellow, personally.
>>23507553But small eyes are the real eyez
>>23506905For "Mezamero" a good translation may be "Time to Wake Up," it matches the same four-syllable chant and conveys the grammatical structure of "Mezamero" being the imperative form to use an English phrase that implies it being a command.
>>23507553For me it's kind of the opposite, I think the Zeztz eyes are just a bit too big for my liking.>>23507557kek
>>23507558>it matches the same four-syllable chant and conveys the grammatical structure of "Mezamero" being the imperative form to use an English phrase that implies it being a command.In that case, it should be>WAKE UP FAGGOT
Bandai updated with more capsem gifs. Strange that they didn't include the Gashapon capsems...
>>23507583>>WAKE UP FAGGOT
>>23507614GET CROSS-Z DRAGON
Thanks to the looping stream I have watched the episode like seven times throughout the day.
>>23507119I do find it funny that both Gavv and Zeztz have a first episode with a car crash.
>>23506512I'm fine with it now but given the show theme of secret agents and dreams, I kinda wished we got something a bit more visually distinct than just "Ichigo but again"
>>23507666Honestly would've been pretty rad if the rider suit had incorporated some kind of secret agent theme, bits of style from his normal dream outfit, etc. Like maybe give it little flairs that look like tuxedo detailing or something to mimic the classic 007 stuff ya know.
New belt or attachment (?) that will use two Capsems at once
>Zeztz ep1Good cinematics and lead cast members who can act.The police woman is going to be Raider number 2, isn't she?
>>23507672It was posted on the last thread >>23505017, also I don't know if this leaker is implying that the capsems for this module with emit sounds or if this sound capsem is for something else
>>23507672I'd say an attachment with electronic parts. One of the callouts in a spoiler toy video was suspiciously silent, which is probably where this toy's sounds will play.
>>23507682>The police woman is going to be Raider number 2, isn't she?Nope. The only other Rider we know at this point is the main antagonist for Q1 although he only will be called a Rider in Q2.
>>23507682No, the secondary rider is Nox, the villain with white clothes. The third rider is a Dark Zeztz but we don't know who that is yet
>>23507672Looking at this thing color scheme and how it's vaguely shaped like a Beyblade, I think this is Yezz's Rider belt, I think the leaker was confused and it isn't that the belt split Capsems in half, but rather that he has two transformation Capsems or his Capsem works like the Zi-O II Ridewatch:https://desuarchive.org/m/thread/23362647/#23363342
>>23507692>Bitter Gavv 2.0Please, say it ain't soI'm so fucking sick of villain riders
>>23507709Sadly it seems that it will indeed be a Dread 3.0, my only cope that this will actually be a berserk form for Zeztz that separates himself in dreams due to Nightmare fuckery, basically just doubling down on that schizo feel from the first episode rather than it being a dark Rider whose belt is a slit like the previous two.
What do Japs think about the first episode?
>>23507721They seem to like it a lot, I'd say about the same reception that the first episode of Revice, Geats and Gavv got.
>>23507239Did you really kept constantly checking until the thread was almost over to post this?
>>23507546>>23507472What's the difference between the DX, GP and SG Rider Capsems?Also, has anyone gotten one in-hand? How worthwhile are they of fidget toys without the associated Driver?
this is probably the worst sawano song I have ever heard bar none, very unenergetic and unremarkable
Did Nem's actress really have to be four years in gap from the actual age of the character?
>>23507776Yes.
>>23507716>>23507709With Takahashi writing, I think it's more likely we'll get an actual "dark Rider" that sticks around as a big character, for better or worse, like Genm, rather than passing the evil belt around, which is kind of a baffling creative decision overall and just cheapens them.
>>23507709It's a Takahashi show. Enjoy your dickhole purple rival Rider.
>>23506783Twitter, reddit, discord, Facebook, TMDB, MDL, Asianwiki.
How close are we to getting Tokime in live action
I enjoyed the episode, but I do not see what about it is any more special than usual for a rider episode. At least in terms of writing, the spy and dream stuff is cool.
>>23507771On the blog they said that this year the SG have "the same specifications as the DX".GPs are priced the same as them, so they are probably in a similar situation.https://bandaicandy.hateblo.jp/entry/20250711_rider
>>23507789>rather than passing the evil belt aroundYou know remember the Vision Driver.
>>23507828That was a belt for admins of the games
>>23507808We already did.
>>23507828sad that all the evil rider suits towards the end looked nearly the same to each other
>>23507837Yes, and? The show kept introducing new admins whenever it could.
>>23507808But what if someone makes Riku Sanjo disappear and we pretend Fuuto PI never existed?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e91OGUGZKEU
>>23507828Reusing a belt isn't quite the same as reusing a Rider though.Glare Glare 2GazerThe Gazers in-story also had a completely separate belt from Glare/2. Granted, all of them had two users too aside from the original Glare.Granted out of those Glare 2 felt rather throw away, but that's why splitting them like this helps.
>>23507789>we'll get an actual "dark Rider"The thing is, Yezz is already that. He's a villain that was thought from the ground up by Takahashi who will become a villain Rider then become the secondary, he's basically what if Horobi or Buffa were the secondary Rider
I am still surprised to learn this spinoff was not in fact directed by Sakamotohttps://nyaa.si/view/2016972
>>23506783Dunno but here's episode 1 TV ratings in Japanhttps://tieba.baidu.com/p/10019039771>Data source: TVALnow, Video Research, using broadcast stations in the three major metropolitan areas of the ANN network*(Note: 1% = 400,000 people in Kanto, 200,000 in Kansai, and 100,000 in Chukyo).
I thought the youtube stream would only run for 24 hours but it's been more than that and it's still looping.
>>23507875>lower than zerowan, even saberohnonononono
>>23506845happy Birth day king. well wishes to 1/2 of the uncontested best side rider of all time.
>>23507801That's already mydramalist, I posted it because from my understanding it's basically the tokusatsu equivalent to myanimelist which is used a lot (although that anime site has a lot bots so not exactly reliable either), but as you can see from the reviews I posted and if one bothers to read the comments there, most people who use the site are actually SEA, so it's not really good to gauge the westerners' opinions, also not that many people use it as you can see from the stats I posted not that many people use it. I guess twitter is indeed the most used site by the west, it's just difficult to view opinions there because schizos are usually really loud on that site.
>>23507910Are you sure you're not trapped in a nightmare?
>>23507672is this for the female Rider? if we get any tho
>>23507875Thanks a lot.
>>23507871thanks for the subs
>>23507776and Baku is 3 years older than his actor
>>23507838I feel she's just don't translate to live action to be honest, unless they make her hair black like the reverse of Philip.
>>23507672>>23507683The leaker says this is a spinning belt, this basically comfirms this is Yezz's belt that was previously described as Beyblade looking belt that spins 360, only it seems that they were mistaken about the belt splitting the caosemcapsem in two and it's actually that it uses two capsems>>23507871Thank you Ei
>>23507853You're missing the trees for the forest here. In terms of their in-show role, the Vision Riders are functionally no different from Dread, Bitter Gavv or even Demons. Belts that keep jumping from one user to the other, with suits that only get one or two chances to shine before getting demolished, making them look like an unthreatening joke for what are supposed to be boss Riders.
Weekly Playboy's shoot's Volumes 38 & 39 featured Miki Yagi who plays Baku's younger sister Minami Yorozu and Reiyo Matsumoto who plays Kudo Rinne who transforms into Kamen Rider MajadeHere's Yagi's images
We really got into your head, huh Ei?
>>23507865There's a difference between antagonistic Riders and Riders that are literal dark counterparts of others. Yezz isn't starting out as a Rider but rather a Rival, so he could get redeemed when he does become one.
>>23507936>Leaker saysNigga just reposting lemon post

We know he is presumably part of the shit sub EternalSleeper. We know someone repping them says they are making changes for an AMZN release which is something Ei did for Gotchard. He show our complaints and compiled. That's it.
>>23507957That guy has gotten PB stuff right before, plus he had an Amazing Gummy image from February which aligns with Takebe's claims from when Gavb finished airing, so he's a reliable sourceBut yeah he's just reposting lemon's leaks without crediting this time, I hadn't checked on Baidu today so I hadn't noticed, tbf color also reposts stuff from other leakers sometimes without crediting but I guess lemon has never done that now that I think about it.
The Technolom Stream figures from the two action figure lines
>>23507973Yuri!
Whatever Nip assemblyman that amends the bosozoku law on public roads to allow filming projects with proper permits would be a national hero.
>>23508011I'm surprised how long this autistic law has persisted, surely they could at least make bike filming permits less expensive. The current prime minister who was shit suddenly stepped down but I'm not getting my hopes up since most of the current choices are bad too, I don't like Negima but honestly I hope the author wins the prime minister position.Also I wonder how much bike action will Zeztz have, Yanaka directly acknowledged how bike scenes in Reiwa have been lacking, but at the same time I don't know if he made Agent 0 a robot to compensate for lack of bike usage in this case.
>>23508021Let's keep discussing this on /krg/ since at this point we're getting deviated from Zeztz as a topic, but here's the interview where they state the Q2 changes: https://desuarchive.org/m/thread/23103503/#23103634Also I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying, of course the staff never said the show became worse in the middle, I think the last time I saw anything close to that was Omori with Zero-One who acknowledged how he received complaints about Zero-One's Q2 and even then he said that ratings were higher during that period. I'm talking about how the changes that people complained about were caused by lack of budget and Takebe wanting the Stomachs to live rather than due to Komura, while there's also the Komura's problems that were in the show from beginning to end like every villain getting shafted, Sachika not being that ingrained into the plot despite being useful for giving the cast character development, some world-building issues and Hanto's string of loses.
How long till we get artwork of Zezts drop kicking Freddy Kueger's face?

>>23508079Attention, let's just pray that he doesn't pull a kyoani on toei
>>23507988That account just reposted stuff he finds from baidu, there's other leaker too beside lemon and color. But they're not too famous besides the two mentioned.
So Ride Kamens lasted only a year and a few months before going EOS? What the hell where they doing? Didn't they shill it hard enough? Gaycha games lasted way longer than this (and in fact are still going). Were they trying to pluck Disney Twisted Wonderland audience?
>>23508093So then the Amazing Gummy image came from this Baidu user too? I guess this guy then indeed isn't a leaker, I'm sorry then
>>23508095They were obviously trying to get some of the Love and Deepspace and Twisted Wonderland crowds who're also into KR. I'm surprised it lasted a year and a half even, but they're keeping it up as an offline game now (though I dunno how that would work.)
>>23508095Kamen Rider gachas tend to have way less substance than most popular gachas, the upcoming seems even cheaper than usual.The only mobile rider gacha that had something going for it was City Wars, but even then the events started getting really repetitive around Zero-One which is why it closed down during Saber.

>>23508102Ohma Zi-O would still tank that, Waga Maou is just that strong and he would be able to just summon another Zeztz to counter Baku.>>23508099>though I dunno how that would workBasically Ride Kamens and that SAO game that's also closing down the sane week are going to do the same approach that the Animal Crossing mobile game did.>>23507974>>23507978>>23507982I really can't wait to see these in action in the show, since Baku has his phone on the real world, that would imply that he'll do spy stuff with these items on the real world too.
I need more Agent Mulder and Agent Scully shenanigans.
>>23508111Tetsuya and Nasuka is going to be like half the show it seems
>>23508108It's because she has heels this time rather than being sporty
>>23508106Her new gravure pics are quite nice.
>>23508039>Also I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying, of course the staff never said the show became worse in the middle,You literally said that the interviews literally state that the reason Gavv got stuck in the middle was because the producer forced changes, I clarified that they do not in fact state anything about the middle slump being caused by them and that it was the fans trying to connect these things on their own so the more clueless anon wouldn't get the wrong idea by believing that piece of literal misinfo you shared, but you doubled down on it even though I made my point very clear. Yes, these events are in most likelihood connected, but don't exaggerate and lie just to get your particular narrative across. Also, I don't need you to regurgitate the changes to me, I know them very well, so well in fact that I even corrected you when you misremembered the reason why the Stomachs made it past the middle portion.>I'm talking about how the changes that people complained about were caused by lack of budget and Takebe wanting the Stomachs to live rather than due to KomuraThe thing is that, realistically, you can't expect Toku shows to not have these kinds of changes in the plans due to the nature and context of their production. Yes, it kind of sucks, but it is what it is. So it's ultimately up to the writers to have enough flexibility to adapt to these changes as well as possible. It's a key skill that every Toku writer should have, but it's something that Komura struggles at. The plan changes in Gavv are far from the most drastic ones a Rider show has went through, they're in fact par of the course for this franchise and other writers handle this kind of stuff much better, in a way that doesn't compromise the quality of the show.
>>23508101>>23508099I wonder if the mechanics were shallow that it didn't pull fujos, or if fujos do actually care about the kamen rider aspect which was hilariously mishandled in ride kamens.
>>23508112oh thank god
>>23508109What did those games end up doing? I don't play mobile games.
>>23508121Nah, fujimi will be the comic relief instead like half of drive cast.
>>23508122Basically they redesigned the game to work as a normal video game that doesn't require microtransactions, basically what Stop Killing Games wants studios to do
>>23508120I don't even really know anything about the actual gameplay of Ride Kamens to this day
>>23508129apparently you "take care" of the ride kamens
>>23508134I'd rather they suit up properly with a real helmet and fight monsters'n shit but I guess that's not what fujos want???Then the "taking care of them during downtime" thing would make more sense.
>>23508145see that's the thing, if that's what fujos want the game would have whales to keep it afloat
>>23508117I said that way because I think most people here understand that when someone like me or the others anons that post this say this, we mean the changes that people disliked rather than the staff directly saying that the show's quality got worse. I also agreed with you about Komura in my posts, I'm just saying which issues were specifically caused by Takebe and which were caused by Komura, even if all of Toei's tokusatsu are made to be adaptable it still isn't fair to blame everything solely on one person, even if obviously I think someone like Kobayashi or Arakawa would have done a far better job at writing Gavv.The other thing is that Takebe is seemingly worse about these impromptu changes than other producers since most of her changes seem to be very last minute, for example when Omori forces changes he usually gives more of a window fir planning which is why a show like Ex-Aid which was done by Takahashi who has similar issues to Komura, managed to be mostly consistently good, the only exception to this being Zero-One where Omori tried too hard to be safe so it had more impromptu changes than usual. Like even Inoue who is also an inconsistent writer was at his worst with Takebe, she's just far more inconsistent than other producers, which was my original point when another anon brought up Takebe and Minato were somehow "safe" producers, when they really aren't.
>>23508120>fujos do actually care about the kamen rider aspectThey really do, they don't just buy face actor merch, they buy any piece of merch related to their husbandos including roleplay toys, figures and posters of the Rider suits, and take any chance they get to have a picture with the people wearing Rider suits on public events.The problem with the Ride Kamens Riders imo is that they're not characters from the shows that the fans are attached to, their suits may reference previous Riders and kaijin, but they are brand new characters with no preestablished fanbase. They thought they could hook the fangirls of popular characters up if they just made their new characters wear suits that vaguely resembled them, ignoring the fact that the fans only care about the real deal. It's similar to the problem earlier anniversary movies had when the novelty of simply bringing back the suits wore off.
>>23508155>I said that way because I think most people here understand that when someone like me or the others anons that post this say thisThe anon you were talking clearly wasn't familiar with these behind the scenes things, he could've taken everything you told him at face value just like many other newfags do. This is why we get newfags who spread misconceptions and treat fan speculation as fact so often. You need to be very clear and fact check the shit you say when approaching these kinds of people, otherwise you're just helping propagate dumb misinformation within the fandom.>I also agreed with you about Komura in my posts, I'm just saying which issues were specifically caused by Takebe and which were caused by KomuraAnd I'm saying that the slump in the middle was also partially caused by Komura's weaknesses as a writer, and that it shouldn't be just Takebe who gets blamed for it. At least one of these changes (changing Rakia from an undercover cop to a lone avenger) was reasonable since they don't have all the time and money in the world to make these shows, though keeping the Stomachs around because of their actors' likeability isn't nearly as defensible.>Like even Inoue who is also an inconsistent writer was at his worst with TakebeInoue is at his worst when he gets the freedom to do whatever he wants in a work that's supposed to take itself seriously instead of being a full blown wacky comedy. After early Heisei, every producer he's worked with has been too afraid to rein him in (partially due to his clout), and almost every thing he's worked on outside of Donbrothers (a wacky comedy that doesn't care much about its own plot) has been of dubious quality. Just read his novels to get a taste of how mindboggling a completely unrestrained Inoue's writing really is.(1/2)
>>23508195>she's just far more inconsistent than other producers, That's because the quality of her shows is more dependent on the writers than usual due to the amount of creative freedom she gives them. Kobayashi had to deal with very last minute changes in OOO due to the Tohoku Earthquake, but she handled that very well because she's way more skilled as a writer than Komura and Takahashi will ever be.(2/2)
>>23508106If we're getting actors from Geats in this can we have Jitt's actor too, fun actor wasted on a character that went out in such a lame way
>>23508196>>23508195>And I'm saying that the slump in the middle was also partially caused by Komura's weaknesses as a writer, and that it shouldn't be just Takebe who gets blamedBut I'm not just blaming Takebe, in most of my posts, even the first one, I brought up Komura's focus problems which correlates to the issues in the middle.But I also feel that you're cutting Takebe too much slack, a producer is also an editor and should make the most of the writer they have, if Takebe wanted to focus on the Stomachs which Komura didn't want to she should have the episode writers to do episode ls focused on them, just like how Tsukada did in Magiranger or how Takebe herself did in Gaim where most of the stuff that Urobuchi didn't want to do like crossovers were left to other writers. She also could have worked by focusing on Komura's strenghts just like how Shirakura did with Inoue on Agito, 555 and Donbrothers or how Omori did with Takahashi in Ex-Aid, after all Takebe hired her and she should have known how Komura works because she worked with her in Zenkaiger as an AP.Point is both Komura shouldn't excused for shafting the villains or her poor execution of world-building which she basically just doubled down on those issues after the changes, but neither should Takebe be excused for forcing the Stomachs to live that long. Also that Takebe and Minato aren't "safe" producers, I also brought up Takebe being inconsistent due to giving the writers' freedom on my previous posts >>23507839, but that's not the sole reason why she's inconsistent, she has considerably worse planning skills when compared to producers like Shirakura, Omori or Tsukada.

>>23508106>from Neons sidekick to tertiary riderBased
>>23508228>to tertiary riderThere's no confirmation that she'll be the tertiary Rider, in fact so far we have 0 details about a tertiary Rider or a female Rider, we only have details about the secondary Rider and a villain Rider.She was also only Neon's sidekick for one episode, for most of her time in the show and her movie appearance she was doing what benefited her the most or helping others.
>>23508215>she has considerably worse planning skills when compared to producers like Shirakura>ShirakuraThat's the man behind Kabuto, Den-O, Decade, Zi-O and Donbrothers. As derailed as some of Takebe's shows can get, none of them feels like they were being literally made on the fly with next to no plan whatsoever (Den-O and Donbrothers managed to work despite this, but the others not so much) outside of Kiva and Ninninger.
QnA with Hidekazu Chinen who plays Shouma/Gavv and Yusuke Hino who plays Hanto/Valen on their fan meet at Shanghai>What scenes in the show left the deepest impression on you both?Chinen: The most memorable is episode 14, when the Caking made his first appearance. Facing the older brother and sister from before, he instead called out to Shiita and Jeebh and then resolved to transform. That episode had a lot of action and was really intense.Hino: The most memorable is my first transformation episode, "Bitter Chocolate", recalling moments with my mentor in the park.>What is the best cuisine you've had in Shanghai?Chinen: My favorite is braised pork, which is on the sweet side and quite similar to how It's made in my hometown Okinawa. I want to bring my family to eat it someday.Hino: Crab roe dishes, with both meat and soup, usually wrapped in skin to eat.>What snacks do you usually like the most?Chinen: Ramune candy in blue packaging. I eat a few pieces before filming every time.Hino: I like eating senbei. Like Hanto himself, I don't like sweets much, but chocolate is okay.>If you wanted to make a dessert yourself, what would it be?Chinen: I want to make dragon beard candy.Hino: I saw life-sized animal-shaped chocolates in Shanghai—I want to make a life-sized chocolate of Chinen.>If you could talk to your own character, what would you like to say?Chinen: I'd like to give him a hug, because he tries so hard. Actually, he could rely more on those around him, but knowing Shouma's personality, that's unlikely.Hino: If I met him, I'd say "handsome" (in Chinese), just joking~ Actually, I want to tell him "You will be happy~" (1/2)
>>23508259>How would you describe the relationship between Shouma and Hanto?Chinen: (Silent, holding back laughter)Hino: Is it that hard to answer? You can tell the truth.Chinen: A relationship deeper than family, xxxxx (forgot to note)Hino: Both Shouma and Hanto have painful pasts; their meeting is like fate—they are soulmates (laughing hard).>Which Rider did you admire most before acting as Gavv?Chinen: Kamen Rider W, Cyclone Joker, still love it now!Hino: Kamen Rider Den-O, here I come! Sometimes before work I listen to the Den-O opening (now singing a bit "Ii jan! Ii jan! Sugee jan?!")In the event, they re-enacted some scenes:>Episode 7, when the two first met at Happy Palette (Shanghai local and Chinese fan creations were incorporated)>Episode 22, in front of the building's window, Shouma reveals to Hanto that he is a Granute and talks about his past.They each performed their character songs, according to the guy who noted down this QnA, Hino is really good at bringing energy to his singing.Then Gavv, Valen, and Vram danced together to "Got Boost?". The final part saw Chinen and Hino dancing on stage together!At the end of the event, Chinen said his catchphrase "Dousouru, whether to stay away from humans in the future, or want to be defeated here by me!" Hino cheekily responded with "Nani!"
>>23508236>for most of her time in the show and her movie appearance she was doing what benefited her the most or helping others.She was joined at the hip with Neon for the entirety of her run in the show, she didn't form meaningful relationships with anyone else because she shunned all the boys since day 1. She only momentarily stopped being so mean to Keiwa because of Neon, and she gave up on her wish for Neon's sake. Even her last scene in the movie consisted of her hanging out with Neon.
>>23508259>Chinen: The most memorable is episode 14, when the Caking made his first appearance.

>>23506512You know, I kinda dislike it in stills and photos like this. But seeing it in motion, and with the lines glowing up... I really dig it.I thought I would dislike the Kamen Parkour suit more, but I was thoroughly enjoying it in this episode.

Why is this guy so beloved? I thought he would be a badass but he's one of the biggest bitches I've seen in Rider. And he loses whenever he's allowed to fight. Is it just the suit?
>>23508348Everyone loves an underdog.
It's so disappointing that Majade didn't end up with a weird pregnancy allegory storyline. It would have encouraged japanese to have kids.

So who's release is the least shit? TS?
>>23508367Shout factory
>>23508367No one else have released a sub yet so just use Shout. It's fine.
I wonder if any kids got scared by the first ep, it is kinda dark what with the hospital chase scene.
>>23508381Dreams can be scary, kids gotta learn that.
>>23508381Japanese soccer moms thought Ghost's cameo in the Drive movie was too scary. I'd imagine they'll have a thing or two to say about Zeztz, unless Toei is counting on Baku's tongue thing to keep them distracted.
>>23508348there was a time when Hiromi was /krg/ favorite character
are we getting a sleeper agent
>>23508402Toei hardly ever takes soccer moms seriously, Jetman, Ryuki and Gavv got complaints for example but Toei never cared and the shows ended up being successful, Ghost's situation is mostly just the producer Takahashi-P being pussy, probably because he didn't want to fuck up his first season, which backfired massively.But also even if Zeztz's producer Yanaka who's new too wanted to address this, just like Gavv or Gozyuger he wouldn't be able to do anything now that shows are filmed way in advanced.Either way, from what I've seen most japanese moms have been talking about how hot Baku is and I've seen zero complaints about the episode being creepy so maybe you're right about the tongue.
>>23508452It writes itself so I assume we will.
>>23508381>scary>rider basically tanks bulletsthis is as "scary" as batman being told to "die" despite hundreds of plot armor being obviously displayed in the screen

>>23508525You're welcome. Stock mirrors are dogshit on it but it's a good bike. Eliminator is also good, but also has the same dogshit mirrors.

>>23508554W allegedly, the one from next episode is Build, then we get Ghost, Gaim, Ex-Aid and Geats as they were shown in the trailer, but so far there's no confirmation that they're actually based on past riders, if they're it's something that the kaijin designer seemingly wanted to do by his own decision rather being forced to judging by the interviews.

>>23508845KuugaFaizDen-OWOOO
>>23508825I haven't really seen much in the way of real criticism for Geats, seems like for the most part everyone pretty much considers that one at least decent. Wasn't exactly my favorite season (not even my favorite Reiwa) but I can admit it was a pretty solid show all the way through.
>>23508866They're still deaths
>>23508869I think there's a lot of people who would argue Faiz is not objectively good the entire time. The Delta stuff would be lambasted if it aired today.
>>23508835He's literally a race traitor who would let humagears genocide humanity if given a choice (see DJ Chimpitout). He doesn't care about his human employees or humans in general.
>>23508821Gavvfags are so cringe man, just keep it simple
>>23508880based, I too would abandon the retarded human race in favor of my sexbot army
>>23508870No Geats was pretty much hated on even when it was airing. All the complaints about the Dezastar arc being a waste of time, promoting Buffa to being the real secondary and trying to character assassinate Keiwa into being a villain.All Reiwa shows are bad. Each for their own reasons.
>>23508891>No Geats was pretty much hated on even when it was airing.No it wasn't? I was there, and every thread had the normal amount of griping about minor stuff but it was pretty much all people saying "yeah it's like Great Value Kabuto, so pretty good I guess"
>>23508880Anon, the humans in that universe are irredeemable dumbasses, can you blame him? Before Thouser hit his jobber arc he was going around doing insanely obvious terrorist shit and outright admitting to causing robot 9/11, and nobody did shit about it.

>>23508912The only legit bitching I remember while airing was very obviously from butthurt saberfags who were still salty nobody even finished that season due to how fucking bad it started.
>>23508592>There is a sound in the driver for a Nightmare CapsemInteresting...
>>23508920Honestly, how many seasons actually have good endings? It's at the point where I don't even really consider the ending anymore when I'm deciding how I overall feel about them.
>>23508927>we get Hazard Build kino againBlack suit Spid-I mean Zeztz
>>23508897You clearly weren't there for the whole show. The comparisons to Kabuto dropped quickly once Tycoon got sidelined for Buffa and it turned out that Takahashi was going to repeat what he did in Ex-Aid and Zero One and make the 2nd Rider into a prop and promote the main villain Rider like he did with Genm/Thouser. The show was basically in freefall during the 30s/40s once the show lost the plot and was just stalling for the final forms to show up.
>>23508759The secondary that was so good, some people count him as the main character
>>23508940Who made this art? It looks cool, reverse isn't giving me any results.
>>23508935True, i'm one of those retards that compared ace & keiwa dynamics to tendo and kagami.Only to be left disappointed, and then came that last stretch.Like wtf is wrong with takebe and takahashi at that time.

Well he just dies to the power of friendshi...I mean DESIRE now...At least V-cinema movie was good.
>>23508825Gavv is consistently good>>23508845Kuuga, Agito, Ryuki, 555, Blade, Kabuto, Den-O, W, OOO, Fourze, Gaim, Ex-Aid and Build, most of Heisei was consistent which is why Reiwa's string of bad luck stands out, even when compared with Showa which only has two consistent shows, V3 3 and Stronger. Reiwa's situation is really dire, even if Revice and Gotchard are the only seasons that are straight up not good.
>>23508984Stop replying to bait anon
>>23506703Ask Agent Zero I'm sure he's watched it all
>Aguilera taken
>>23508897Pretty after every episode that released after the kino episode where Buffa defeated Geats and Gazer, the opinions of Geats started being mostly mixed, since after that episode most of the cast starts acting retarded and then the final arc is extremely rushed with the single blandest antagonist in Kamen Rider. All of this happened because Takebe had Takahashi abandon his original plan at the last second plus dealyed the upgrades of the other riders.

In fact, her plot was the most normal thing in Q4 (besides the part when her father suddenly threatens future people with...something?)>The Jyamato stuff dropped after achimedel diedIt wasn't dropped, there was Jyamato virus handled by Sparrow, then a giant Jyamato that was supposed to be summoned by Tsumuri Negro, then a friendly Jyamato raised by redeemed Sparrow and then whole V-cinema about them.>then questions for girori suddenly came back to help geats.That was bad but that was still a part of Q4.
>the part where Baku is running away and it plays the loud chasing footstep noisesYep, some kids probably got PTSD from this
>>23509054--The story follows the protagonist, Baku Yorozu, an agent (special agent) who infiltrates dreams to protect people from Nightmare, a monster who appears in dreams and tries to make nightmares come true. The story is not only about the content, but also about the fact that it will be broadcast and streamed simultaneously worldwide in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, South Korea, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, and other countries. >Yanaka: Although Kamen Rider has attempted to localize American versions of titles such as "Masked Rider" (1995) and "Kamen Rider Dragon Knight" (2009), the focus has been on Japanese productions being previewed at different times, primarily in Asia. However, around 2023, the entire group set a goal of firmly commercializing the business and increasing sales overseas. --The first step is the simultaneous global broadcast and streaming of this work. With “simultaneous” broadcasts, there's no time lag, and excitement will be at it's peak.>Minato: Nowadays, not only television but various other platforms have been established in each country, creating an environment where a wide variety of content can be offered. Along with this, we are also hearing voices saying that they want to enjoy a variety of content. So rather than us expanding, it feels more like we're responding to what the times demand.
>>23508348He's Kamen Rider Spider-Man, that's really it.
>>23509060--There are people overseas who will be experiencing Kamen Rider for the first time through this series. If such person asked you, "What is Kamen Rider?", how would you answer?>Minato: I think Kamen Rider is the "hero just around the corner." Super Sentai are just beings that seem to exist in some other world, and Ultraman is an alien, so he's a fantasy-like being that makes you feel intimidated. But Kamen Rider has an aspect to him that makes you think that he could be close to you, and that it would be fun if he was.>Yanaka: I think it's important for the general public overseas to have an image of Kamen Rider. For example, the design of the previous series, Kamen Rider Gavv (2012-2013), which used candy as its motif, was easy for children to understand, those unfamiliar with the series might mistakenly think of Kamen Rider as a candy hero. Therefore, to show people overseas ‘this is Kamen Rider’, we minimized many motif elements as possible for Zeztz. The result is a design that evokes the original Rider, like a "Ichigou homage." I hope that 10 or 20 years from now, people overseas will say, "When you think of Kamen Rider, you think of Zeztz."
>>23509064Realistic battles without excessive use of CG--Why did you choose "dreams" as the theme this time?>Yanaka: We thought that a dream that everyone has would be easily accepted worldwide. However, when we asked the staff, "What kind of dreams do you have?", they all had completely different answers. We realized, "This won't work with just dreams alone," so we combined it with the element of agents taking on missions and solving the problems.--The idea of "agents taking on missions and solving them" is easy for people overseas to accept. The script was written by Yuya Takahashi, who has worked on Kamen Rider series such as "Ex-Aid," "Zero-One," and "Geats." In addition to his fast-paced style, he excels at hard-hitting plot developments that adults can enjoy, making him popular with special effects fans. What is the appeal of this series from your perspective as a producer?>Yanaka: Above all, it's the brilliance of the composition. As a viewer, it's the last thing you want to happen, but as a producer, it's exactly the kind of development you hope for. And because it unfolds precisely like that, it's unpredictable and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
>>23509064>I hope that 10 or 20 years from now, people overseas will say, "When you think of Kamen Rider, you think of Zeztz."Please don’t get my hopes up
>>23509069--Joining forces is Director Kazuya Kamihoriuchi, who has become a household name in the tokusatsu world through his “Kamihori direction”—a technique that seamlessly blends CG and live-action at the highest level.>Yanaka: Currently, overseas audiences tend to be mostly adult viewers, and there's a tendency for dramas and acting to be highly valued. Director Kamihoriuchi is well-known not only for his fusion of CG and live-action, but also for his drama production and acting direction, so I think he is the perfect choice.>Minato: Director Kamihoriuchi has a producer's mindset, and he puts together his direction with an overall balance in mind, so his perspective is different from that of ordinary directors.>Takasaki: Not only does he have a high level of taste and visual aesthetics, he's constantly updating his sensibilities. That's why I get the impression that he's a director who is firmly incorporating new direction ideas that would feel right at this point in time. The thing that surprised me the most was the opening. I was amazed that someone could capture sound, visual beauty, action, and character to such an extent in live action.>Minato: It has a look that's different from both tokusatsu and regular dramas, it's closer to anime in its direction. Since I was originally in the anime industry myself, I really understand what the director is aiming for.>Takasaki: I've watched it dozens of times, and I can't believe an opening can be this endlessly watchable. You know how the openings of acclaimed anime are so cool with their movements and cuts that you could just keep watching them forever? That's exactly the feeling here. Honestly, the opening alone is worth the price of admission (laughs).
>>23509069>realistic without cgDoubt, liar even.
>>23509076--It is a worldview that is very difficult to describe as a dream, but Director Kamihoriuchi emphasized that it "came into existence" in a conversation with Takahashi that was streamed on TTFC (Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club).>Yanaka: Director Kamihoriuchi spent months trying different things before, during and after filming, trying to think of ways to improve the film. What's more, the dreamlike worldview and visual expression change dramatically from story to story. I think you'll be surprised every episode.--On the other hand, it seems that there will be fewer CG effects in the action scenes this time.>Yanaka: Director Kamihoriuchi and Action Director Jun Watanabe were aiming to show a realistic fight and physical battle. I think they probably came up with this approach after considering the muscular design of Zeztz and the transformation that emphasizes his physical strength. Also, I think that rawness is what makes Kamen Rider so appealing.
>>23509082--What are the highlights of the action scenes?>Minato: Zeztz design fundamentally differs from previous Kamen Riders in many aspects, such as the absence of a waist belt. This allows for greater freedom in action sequences. You'll definitely see things never seen before, so I hope you'll look forward to it.--30 years after "Masked Rider," you're taking on an overseas challenge. Please tell us about your enthusiasm!>Yanaka: Unlike back then, we're now just trying to create a cool hero regardless of region, so to be honest, we're not putting that much pressure on ourselves (laughs).>Minato: As mentioned earlier, when we talk about going global, it's not something we're forcing on people like Shocker (laughs). It's something that people want, so to borrow the words of Shotaro Ishinomori (the original author), "When the times call for it, Kamen Rider will surely be revived."
>>23509054>Yanaka storytelling >Minato action costumes, etcWhat?>>23509069This confirms they really planned for older audience
>>23509054Producers profile>Hideaki Yanaka>Born in 1989. Joined Toei in 2013 and became a sub-producer for "Kamen Rider Build" in 2018. After that, he was in charge of general dramas such as "Woman of S.R.I." and became the chief producer of "Zeztz" in 2025>Yosuke Minato>Born in 1988. After working in anime production at Madhouse, he joined Toei. In 2019, he became an assistant producer for "Kamen Rider Zero-One," and in 2023, he became the chief producer for "Gotchard.">Sota Takasaki>Born in 1991. Joined TV Asahi in 2016, and after working on variety show programming, he became a producer for general dramas such as "Wave, Listen to Me" in 2023 and "Legendary Headboss, Sho" in 2024. Currently secondment to Toei.
I still maintain that Geats has possibly the best Q1 in KR. I can't defend anything that happens after it, though.
>>23509093>WhatKinda hard to believe, but that's literally what they said
>>23509010>then questions for girori suddenly came back to help geatsThis is the only that's right. What people hated was Keiwa hating Ace's mom for no reason, the show pretending that Michinaga was a good guy all along even though he had no way of knowing that what he was doing was right until Beroba told him, Neon suddenly wanting people to forget her, Hallelujah never transforming again which was distracting, Keiwa falling into the villains' obvious trap, Geats Nine being instantly nerfed, Nadge-Sparrow getting away with everything, Beroba conveniently using her Rider form in her final fight against Buffa, Keiwa's and Neon's arcs being really rushed in the last quarter making it hard to care for them even if the concepts are good and lastly Suel being one of the most boring antagonists we've ever gotten.Most people liked Neon's backstory because it was foreshadowed and the emotional parts were handled well, the only part of her backstory arc that people didn't like was her sponsor being mostly a non-character and her giving her mom her memories back then bailing.
>>23509101Well then good luck. It's another boost of confidence from this interview alone.
>>23509069So this just confirms to me that Takahashi was chosen entirely because he was the reliable, safe option and they didn't want to take a chance on anyone newer for their big overseas push.
>>23509010>hating neon's backstory because it's retarded>I want a perfect daughter instead of my old one>she'll look exactly the same, have the same memories and always disobey me (therefore not being perfect)>but she's totally not the same girl resurrected so feel sad for Neon pleaseIs THE most bullshit source of forced drama in all of Kamen Rider.
>>23509127newfag-kun...
>>23509054>>23509060>>23509064>>23509069>>23509076>>23509082>>23509087>>23509094So what I'm getting here is that rather than the King-Ohger approach where all 3 producers, the main writer and Kami handle different aspects of the worldview each, Yanaka focus on most of the world-building alongside Takahashi while maintaining the pacing and hiring staffers, Minato focuses on the toys with Bandai, the attires of the cast alongside Murase and gives guidance for the designs to Plex, lastly Sota just focuses on hiring actors. Am I getting this right?
>>23509116Toei has done their best to undercut everyone else who could do the job. You basically only have Takahashi left standing in the the writer corner since all the others are either terrible (Kinoshita), can't do a weekly (Fukuda) or are given shit assignments cleaning up for someone else (Hasegawa). At this point, it's Toei's own fault that they have run their options into ground.
>>23508901Fuck yes I'll blame him. Humagears are toasters.
Toei should hire more anime writers
>>23508759Hanto is honestly pretty up there for me, probably just because of recency bias. But among secondaries there is only one Tachibana-san.
>>23509189We call them clankers now
https://youtu.be/8rYcfP14UDM>Faiz Capsem>Open Your EyesKino...
>>23509170The writer choices depend on the producer's contacts and their willingness to ask for contacts to their peers or from other means.The only contacts Yanaka has are>Yuya Takahashi>Minato Takano (really why couldn't he just hire him, King-Ohger was so kino) >Maybe Kento Shimoyama? I'm not sure if Yanaka was involved in Gorider>Shogo Muto (Occupied at the moment)>Yoshimasa Akamatsu>Takeharu Sakurai>Konishi MayuToei's producers aren't really starved for writer choices, they've just been choosing Takahashi and Komura over and over again and those two pretty much always say yes. I'm surprised that for the four seasons Takahashi has been picked for he's apparently been their first choice every time, to the point that Takebe asked Omori for his contact. Komura is the same aside from Wizard where the main writer position pretty much fell into her after Kida's scheduling issues, I'm still baffled that a writer that doesn't know how to write times got picked thrice to do Sentai, and all of her teams had 7 members at minimum.
>>23509200We really should get Hideyuki Kurata, Yousuke Kuroda and Chiaki Konaka as main writers at least once.I'm still amazed that we haven't gotten Konaka as a main writer yet, the guy has worked on toku before, he has expressed interest on working together with Toei again several times, Shirakura and Tsukada should have enough power to give his contact to any producer that asks even if they haven't ever directly met him and if not them Keiichi Hasegawa could surely just hand a producer his contact, just like how Boonboomger's main writer Tomioka handled the contacts of a bunch of Sunrise Anime writers to Kuji as freebies.
So does Baku have the belt permanently stuck to him forever in real life?
i wonder what would happen if they were able make yearly rider from after super-1 until black
>>23509246No I don't think the belt is keeping him alive, it probably just showed up underneath his clothes for dramatic effect
I haven't bought roleplay toys in years, will the DX Zeztz Driver Form Change Set get a rerelease?
>>23509233Has a Toei production ever admitted about a main writer not being their first choice besides Gozyuger?
>>23509233>he's apparently been their first choice every time, to the point that Takebe asked Omori for his contactTakebe and Takahashi already worked together on the Amazonz movies before Geats. Long before Geats or Zero One for that matter.
>>23509257It will probably continue to be produced for a very long time into the show's lifespan anon, the usual suspects for hard to obtain items would be campaign gifts or corporate tie ins, such as christmas cake capsems or potentially capsems that come with buying apparel.
>>23509292Didn't Takebe say in an interview that she had to ask for Omori's permission to hire Takahashi to which Takahashi said that they're "partners in infidelity", I always thought that was just a funny way of saying that she had to ask him for his contact.
>>23509298Okay thank you, as long as I can get all the DX Capsems and Legend Capsems that's fine
Do we know how Shirakura ended up picking Kobayashi for Ryuki, how Tsukada ended up picking the writer duo for Hibiki or how Omori ended up picking Mutou?, I don't think I've ever seen an interview stating how they met
>>23509314>how Omori ended up picking Mutou?According to Mutou's wikipedia:https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/武藤将吾>Muto developed an interest in the Heisei Kamen Rider series after watching it with his children[4]. He expressed his desire to work on Kamen Rider to TV Asahi staff, and word reached Toei producer Takahito Omori, who was seeking a scriptwriter for a new series. This led to Muto being appointed as the main writer[5].
>>23509228All the Rider Capsems have a fun jingle. My favorite is Geats and Fourze
>>23509367That's really cool, thanks a lot, God I want him to do a new Kamen Rider season so badly
>>23509314According to this site https://katoku99.hatenablog.com/entry/20021109/Toshiki Inoue had already picked a project to work on after Agito so he was too occupied to be the writer for the next Rider season, so Shirakura decided to view recent tokusatsu projects done by Toei and the writer who impressed him the most was Yasuko Kobayashi with her use of drama elements in Gingaman and Timeranger, however she was also occupied with other projects at the time so even though she agreed to take the main writer position most of the creative elements in the early stages of Ryuki were handled by Shirakura.Couldn't find anything on Hibiki other than some vague unsourced comment about Takatera liking Kida's stage plays.
>>23508984555, Blade and Kabuto were far from consistent.
Gavvbabies will twist themselves and logic to somehow justify a boring show with ugly suits.
>>23509409>GavvbabiesYou've been giving nicknames to fans of every season and then hardly elaborates on why you dislike or like every season, constantly flipflopping on wether you like a season or not depending on what narrative you want to push for your shitpost.Why bother wasting your time here when you don't even watch Kamen Rider? Surely you at least have a job or media that you actually consume that you're willing discuss on other boards.
Skyridorks will twist themselves and logic to somehow justify a boring show an ugly suit.
>>23509417If only these people had the decency to idk, post a screenshot on the so called "gavvbaby defending their mediocre show", because the only people that have been overly positive about Gavv are shit posters themselves, and options from Twitter users don't matter, but I guess some haven't got that memo yet
>>23508930>Honestly, how many seasons actually have good endings?Kuuga, Ryuki, Blade, Kabuto, Den-O, Kiva, OOO, Fourze, Wizard, Gaim, Drive, Ex-Aid, Build, Saber and Revice (if we're only counting the ending itself and not the whole final stretch).So the majority of the modern shows, most of which are the good ones. I'd argue that a show's conclusion is more important than its beginning.
>>23509423Anon it has been years now, have you ever thought about how pathetic it's pretend to watch a franchise only to derail discussions for 5 years in a row.Are you doing this because you don't have friends?
>>23509429nta but Kabuto's and Den-O's last episodes were pretty messy although I will agree with you on Den-O regardless because I cried when Yuto started eating Deneb's food
>>23509246I thought the belt sitting in the center of his chest made the capsems look like iron man's reactor, but assumed it was a bit of a stretch. Now that we know it's connected to his heart I'm convinced it's a capeshit reference.
>>23509405>>23509314Kida already worked with Takatera on Gingaman and Kuuga so that's probably how he got hired for Hibiki. Though it should be mentioned Takatera is a very proactive producer in regards to the story and planning so Kida and Oshi roles were much more subordinate compared to other productions.
>>23508362
>>23509441god I love Yuri, he saved Saber for me
>>23509429>Kabuto>Good endingcome on man
>>23509433>Now that we know it's connected to his heartwhat?
>>23509246I don't see why he'd need the belt 24/7 to stay alive, his heart stopped but we didn't really see it get destroyed,wouldn't his heart just need cardioversion, to jumpstart the heart to start beating again or am I being dumb?
>>23509246>>23509433>it's connected to his heart I don't believe that's the case.I think it was just an artistic parallel about his regained will to live and new motivation to fight.
>>23509433I don't think understand why they need to copy the MCU. The original Kamen Rider origin is as Marvel as you could get.
>>23509463You only have an issue with it because you’re a contrarian that hates popular things. If they referenced some obscure Japanese only hero you would love it
>>23509463It's a very superficial connection, Japanese being inspired by pre 2013 stuff is usually soulful regardless if what they're being inspired by is bad, just like at Viewtiful Joe or Nick & Lever, it's because they're taking inspiration purely for fun rather than irony or pushing agendas like the west usually does.Also Marvel was involved with Toei for Supaidaman and Battle Fever J so I wouldn't be surprised if some of Toei staffers look up to early Marvel comics because of that, although I doubt anyone from Zeztz's staff is actually like that.
>>23509463It's partially that this is the first show airing in the west, but also they themselves just love western hero and spy shit. Just wish Zeztz himself didn't have a hideous TASM/Man of Steel basket ball textured suit.
>>23509446For me he was true tertiary. His scenes with Mei were cute
Apparently people have been complaining about the capsems being too loud when spinning, someone came up with a mod for them by inserting a 3 mm ring that fixes this issue allowing the capsem to spin without making much noise
>>23509479> It's partially that this is the first show airing in the westNo it isn’t. Zero-One didn’t air in the west. MCU is pop culture
>>23509498>For me he was true tertiary
>>23509523nta but we really needed more episodes between him and Rintaro, their chemistry was really good, it's the only reason why I'm willing to put Lakia above Kento even though I think Kento is more interesting as an overall character
I think Fukada does a lot of great work with background lore, foreshadowing, escalation, and scenario setups. I would like to see him work on another season, but not as the head writer.
>>23509561Personally I want him to work as a head writer again but under another producer, I think he would be a good fit for Tsukada but sadly he isn't producing mainline toku anymore
>>23509561Technically speaking he wasn't the head writer of Saber, at least according to Hasegawa, who said the show was in reality more of a collaborative effort between the writing team. Some people assume Fukuda was mainly handling series composition and possibly directing the other writers alongside Takahashi-P so they could properly follow the story's outline even if he wasn't writing the episodes themselves, since he's still credited as head writer.Honestly I would like to see this approach pop up more in the future, it makes the shows less dependent on a single writer so the story can flow more seamlessly even when it's a sub-writer's turn to do the episodes, and the feedback the writing team must be giving to each other probably prevents the head writer's flaws from being too present in the work.
Is that even prop accurate? It’s fucking huge
Gawd damn this dude Shotaro dripped out, gawd damnLike the dress shirt with the tie, but the faux fur collar puffer jacket on top of that, with that inner lining on the jacket and those red accents on the tie, the skinny jeans with the black leather boots, you see the stacks on the skinny jeans because of how they're sitting on top of the boots, the motorcycle leather gloves, the belt matching the boots and the gloves, the hat hanging off the side of the jeansGawd damn he swagged out
>>23509626Isn't that how Gotchard worked? It was basically a team of writers like Saber along with MinatoP doing their thing and hashing out the stories and episodes amongst each other. And of course Gotchard was basically up there with Revice for being worst Reiwa Rider.
>>23508502That's way earlier than it used to be, anon. It means that any audience reception can only affect the final third and by that point the staff might not even have incentive to care given they're almost done.
>>23506512I still dislike it. It still looks weird in some shots. It might sell me on it if we get some better fights later. I don't remember any good episode 1 fight in recent years.
>>23509742>I don't remember any good episode 1 fight in recent years.I think Gavv's was great.
>>23509742>I don't remember any good episode 1 fight in recent years.Zero-One, Geats and Gavv had good first episode fights
CYCLONE JOKAAAAR
>>23508759Hanto, Banjo.Worst secondary is Mach, fuck that guy. Mach single handedly keeps drive from being a 10/10
>>23508759Kagami, Banjo, Yuto, Hikawa and Hajime
>>23509766Better than great. Gavv's first fight was a stand out. That build up to the first playing of Final Judgement for the finish and the first DOUSURU aren't things I'm going to forget for a while
>Named Baku>Has heart problemsI know what you've been reading, Takahashi.
>>23509766This should serve as a reminder to NEVER trust the first episode of a series
>>23509872Gavv was perfectly fine. Good, even
>>23507853I still cannot fucking believe they went with "Glare 2" instead of "Glance".
Faiz is so good
>>23509872But Gavv ended up being consistently good, the only truly bad episode of the show is the last episode, Revice is the best example of not trusting the first episode
>>23509902Ohhh fuckkk...
So apparently there's a femboy in Gavv.Should I watch it for Xir?
https://nyaa.si/view/2017325He's back
>>23509912This man will single handedly make sure Fuuto Tantei S2 happens.
>>23509924He's one of the show's most disappointing characters but he does get several fetish-y scenes in the second half.
>>23509924That guy is a huge loser.
>>23509908>But Gavv ended up being consistently goodMore like consistently mid, after Q2 started the average quality was nowhere near as good as Q1's.
>>23509508Neat mod. I did notice in reviews they do seem very loud when spinning. I'm half tempted to remove the inner sections with the animations entirely though.
>>23509924Just go back to twitter and ask there, clearly 4chan isn't for you
>Zeztz presses his driver three times for his finisher>Finisher is a three-kick comboI like
>>23509946>>23509952He's a jobber?>he does get several fetish-y scenesI'm intrigued>>23509976>*checks /gif/*dunno sister, 4chan seems to be definitely for me
>>23509956Peaking at Q1 doesn't mean the rest of the show is mid, just worse, Gotchard literally aired just prior Gavv and that's the most mid season by default besides Black RX, because birth try to be as safe as possible while executing their concepts in a mediocre manner, so the season's aren't offensive but not standout either. Gavv isn't a top-tier season by any means but the hero cast, motw, action and setting concept remain interesting from beginning to end even if the worldviewworldview is misused, its villains are shit and Hanto loses even more than Hikawa somehow, in a way that really hurts his character.
>>23508066Thats neet.
Baku has no heart problems and is not permanently stuck to the belt.It was just a dramatic effect for the Nightmare and his symbolic "MeZZZamero".
now where could my desire driver be
>>23509702>Isn't that how Gotchard worked?Not really, it basically started out with one head writer in Uchida, then Hasegawa joined in as co-head writer later into pre-production to help Minato and Uchida out similar to Wizard's case, then it was just the two of them for Q1 until they decided to bring in Akiko to delegate the Rinne focus episodes and a few self-contained 2-parters to her. The show only had 3 writers in total, each one focusing on one member of the Main Trio in particular, and the intervals at which the show switched between them were pretty irregular.Saber had only one person credited for series composition in Fukuda, and he, Hasegawa, and Mouri began writing episodes for the show since the very beginning. They also had Kaneko as an extra writer to deal with all the non-movie side content such as the Retsudens and the Buster manga. Every 2 episodes the show switched writers regardless of who was the focus or how important to the plot the episode was, and Uchida (who was also assigned the Sword of Logos specials) was added to the rotation in the second half while maintaing this format. The show had one vision and 4-5 writers that stuck to it, constantly collaborated, and did their best to follow into each others' episodes as they were constantly being rotated in a heavily serialized show.
>>23509989>He's a jobber?He's the biggest jobber in a show where the Secondary's solo wins can be counted in one hand.
The kick waspretty cool, loved that they somehow made it reference James Bond with the 7's, his bad luck with the triple 7s, and then converting it into Z's? It's a really cool concept for it, can't wait to see which motif they will try to explore more. I know we are doing dreams, but I would kill for some sick James Bond references in here, too
>>23509989>I'm intriguedIt’s not that great because it goes nowhere. He becomes obsessed with his dead twin sister (who died protecting him from the MC) and is implied that he wanted to become her by using her human disguise key.
>>23509082>Dream motif>aiming to show realistic fight and physical battleWouldn't this the perfect time to go all-in on crazy anime-like fights? But what do I know?
>>23510058So I guess it's really not that kind of entertaining jobber either.>>23510156>almost SINoALICE kinoDamn
>>23509626I'm convinced none of that was planned given the pre-season interviews talked about how Fukuda would be even more involved than he was in Ghost. Fukuda is listed as head writer because he was, Takahashi just can't openly state that Fukuda was incompetent.
>>23509785>fans farts at you
>>23510208>I'm convinced none of that was planned given the pre-season interviews talked about how Fukuda would be even more involved than he was in GhostEven if it wasn't planned at the time of the press conference, it's still how the whole show turned out. They were regularly rotating writers since the very start, unlike Ghost where Fukuda wrote most of the episodes of the first half and then started vanishing for long periods of time.>Fukuda is listed as head writer because he was, Takahashi just can't openly state that Fukuda was incompetent.Fukuda's still listed as sole head writer to this day, whereas Blade, Wizard and Gotchard credited Aikawa, Komura and Akiko after the fact. Taka-P even admitted he got Fukuda to focus on writing the V-Cinema instead of having him come back just to write the last two episodes.
>>23510236I get the feeling with Saber at least that Fukuda still had a hand in the general plotting and overall events for the show, but left most of the details to the other writers in the episodes that he's on credited.
>>23510284>episodes that he's not credited on*Missed a word here
>>23509766Yeah, this and Revice both had pretty strong Ep 1 fights I thought.
>>23509433Speaking of, there's a subtle heartbeat noise with each light pulse during the Driver's pre-switch standby noisehttps://youtu.be/mafE1YL0heo?t=12

>HowlingSnail scrubslol lmao
>>23510447Nope, it's my personal autism.
>>23508362>>23508525
>>23510454The bike helmet really adds to the eroticism
>>23510462Reminds me of Celty
>>23510454Fuck now I want to see Sabela riding DiagoSpeedy.
>>23510454cute boy
man remember when people were shitting on sub scrubbing here? I approve of scrubbing btw it's a normal fan thing to do I just find it really weird this place had a phase like that due to stupid contrarianism.
>>23510488It was probably like one retard that was against scrubbing for whatever reason. Scrubbing was how I was able to actually watch Kiva and not want to kill myself for the first time.
>The design of this year’s Nightmare monster was handled by Tomo Hyakutake, who is also behind the designs of several Ultraman monsters and the films in the Shin Japan Hero Universe.>According to him, the general requirement for this year’s Nightmares was to design asymmetrical arms to reflect the imagery of nightmares. Early on, there was even an idea to incorporate the image of Sigmund Freud, the pioneer of modern psychological dream research, into the design.>For the Gun Nightmare in episode 01, if you pay close attention, you will notice it was designed to evoke Shocker’s Man Spider from the very first Kamen Rider series, especially in the eye area.He didn't mention anything about the suits being based on previous riders.
>>23510491I'm looking forward to all the other Nightmares down the line cause they look sick
>>23510491where's freud here i don't see penis
After watching Zeztz' premier, I definitely lucid dreamed last night
>>23510505read the paragraphs again properly this time
>>23510519ah, dang I wish we could have seen the freud monster
>>23510491I don't know the colours seem pretty similar, they don't have any influence past that though.
>>23510475She owns a Gatrikephone, so she technically has her own Ride Gatriker.
>>23509868If only he's ultra badass like madarame....
Wonder if Yezz can also light up at night like Zeztz
>>23510621One can hope.
>>23510638I don’t mind if his Rival suit doesn’t light up as long as the Rider suit does
>>23510454
Tom in Zeztz?
>>23510654Wouldn't be surprised if he popped up. He has worked with writer-san before.
>>23510647>mogs all of the proceeding female ridersis this the power of a brother complex
>>23510647Having hay on your ass like that seems quite uncomfortable
>>23510654He's in the posters in Baku's room.
>>23510647xan you stop? I've been gooning since yesterday:(just talk about rider
>>23510673Rider? I don't even know her!
>>23510654Hopefully not.
>>23510694Based retard.
I miss gavv so much
>>23510729I bet you do anon. You have the final live tour and Guilty Parfait to watch in the future if anything.
>>23510729I miss Q1 Gavv.
>>23510729Makes me sad we likely won't be getting Zeztz vs Gavv crossover movie. They could've done some cool things with it, Maybe with Shouma having nightmares about his dead siblings and the granutes he had to kill or something, I'm sure in Gavv's world a "Granute Nightmare" would be a totally feasible fear
>>23509064>For example, the design of the previous series, Kamen Rider Gavv (2012-2013)I'm too late... Oma Zi-O has warped this era...
The one below should be Yezz’s Driver in January, matching the descriptions we have before
>>23510802booba
are we done with the SHT movies?
>>23510802Praying the Yezz Driver isn't gimped.
>>23510821It uses a different type of Capsem altogether, so it will be like Vrastum Gear or just any Q2 belt (limited interaction with the main items)
>>23510794Fuck I forgot to QC when post it
>>23510826Like it was said earlier, it probably uses two Capsem rather than one new one. Either way, I the limited interaction is what I was afraid of.
>>23510850The Capsem splits so that’s probably two halves of one Capsem
>>23510454edit the helmet with Sabela mask
NOOOOOO KIRIHIKOThis show is so amazing
>>23510922He loved that town more then anyone else
>>23506512The belt being on the chest and not on the waist really makes the lower part of his body look really empty.
>>23510938I know it's deliberate, but it really makes the Zeztz suit look like one of those "toku" knockoff skins capeshit games implement every once in a while.
>>23510940It actually has a driver though, unlike all those "toku" skins.
>>23510940The two red lines going downwards towards the crotch area also makes it look like the belt is supposed to be on the waist
>>23510944Which is strapped across the chest anyway, making it not look like what you'd typically associate with being a Kamen Rider suit
>>23510938We just need to get used to it. Also the henshin sequence did a good job of showing why the suit is like that. It's a muscle suit.
Zoomettes and their fried dopamine receptors can't appreciate a simple and clean design like Zeztz

I've never found any Toku actress hot enough to look deeper into. They're not that attractive compared to actual gravure or AV idols
I'm gonna FUCK Nem
>>23511007Zero-One's was leagues better
Zero-One Driver+Progrise Keys >>>>>>> Zeztz Driver+Capsems
>>23511016Medic is the only one because boobs. If they hired more boob monsters then they'd be worth looking into.
>>23511020>>23511025I agree but unfortunately Zero-One drops the ball after like, episode 30 and gets kinda boring
>>23511007What's funny is that the teaser states INNOVATION, and everyone wants to stay in the past.
>>23511016What about Toku actresses who were actual gravure idols?
https://youtu.be/zB5z4aALqQI?si=Rxlqucyst_jdDwBJ&t=1490
>>23511030If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Also minor changes for changes' sake and calling it "innovation" is pretty laughable.
>>23511031Call me when Shinonome Umi gets casted in KR
>>23511031Sentai used to cast genuine former pornstars as villains a lot of the time
>>23511036Well, good thing Reiwa rider has been broke for the most part. Zeztz is the best design since Zero-One.
>>23511036This is just one show though, they'll probably go back to "armor" and hip belts again for the next show. We already had 2 decades of armored designs and themes.
>>23511016There's that one tit monster in the zero one reiwa movie
Cool nega-zetz
>>23511013Sachika-chaaaang!!!
>>23511046Zeztz Nega
>>23511036He has a chest belt and spins the thingy, the MC uses a gun. Compared to last season where the MC was another "dude" with a belt similar to the Builddriver.
>>23511041wait, really?
>>23511046wonder if this is a Battaman throwback
>>23511048
New>>23511044>>23511044>>23511044
>>23511051Jesus how much of a newfag are you? Although I guess you using that image answers my questionHiring porn actresses as villains was the norm in Showa and it's still being done for TTFC specials sometimes, why's your reaction "oh no..."? Even Blade's protagonist was in a gay porn where he had to give a handy to someone
>>23511059Anon I think that was supposed to be tongue and cheek. Like "oh no... Can I see?"
>>23511062Oh, just look up the actresses name then type JAV, like Kei Mizutani or Nao Oikawa
>>23510654Balding, huh?
