>>23527430I mean Shocker created Kamen Rider, they have to exist in a world without Rider at some point first. This is connected to the author's other works and they have superhuman martial artists.

How was the premiere?
>>23561708everyone involved is having way too much fun with this, it's incredible
>>23561778This author always gets great adaptations, now if only we got translations for his series besides 81 and the weird kindergarten kids
>>23561784HITS is also being translated.
So I just watched the first episode and it was pretty much the most anti-Showa thing I've seen. No wonder you amoral fucks are eating it up.
>>23561801>HITS is also being translated.That thing needs retranslations
>>23561708It had no right to be so good, holy shit.
The Kamen Rider remix was hype as hell.Though I kind of would have preferred they didn't make it clear he was borderline super human already. But I suppose the payoff was meant to be emotional, not "he beat the bad guys up."

>>23562777>>23566638He had already sent a guy spinning into the air with a punch in the school flashback. That's already blatantly superhuman and in bear-beating territory.
Not feeling the hype from the first episode. Just doesn't feel like a big enough premise for a whole series. Literally reminds me of the plot you'd get in one of those meta all-riders movies.
>>23567289It's fine for a seinen since it seems it's trying to be more grounded and about finding personal fulfilment rather than world-altering stakes.Honestly I find the oddest part of the premise is how even though it seems to take place around the 2010s or 2020s it also doesn't apparently address Heisei series? I get Tojima himself being plausibly a purist for Showa but with the premise of people living out Kamen Rider fantasies in a modern Japan I'd expect to see someone like a Kuuga or a group of bros cosplaying the Imagin sooner than a Tackle or Riderman. This shot I'd expect to see an Ex-Aid or Build mask on the stand if it's 2018.If it was set in the late 90s I think that the concept still makes sense but avoids that problem. I get that the author specifically wants it to be Showa-focused but it should be set before Heisei if Heisei isn't going to appear.
>>23567359>it seems it's trying to be more groundedThis is Yokusaru Shibata, there is no ground. This also isn't really modern Japan, but part of his wacky world that connects to his previous works. Later on characters from those series became part of the supporting cast, one as a kind of a mentor for the Riders and one for the Shocker Kaijin. But the anime won't get that far.
>>23567359Tojima is 40. Assuming the series takes place when the manga started (~2018), he would have been born ~1978, so it tracks that he'd grow up with Showa Riders, but it'd be more likely that he would watch Super-1 (1980), Black, (1987) and RX (1988). I don't know how frequent reruns of older shows were, though.
>>23567289>Just doesn't feel like a big enough premise for a whole series.I will never understand why people care when is never relevant.This will ALWAYS be irrelevant for a good story.
>>23566955Tomorrow
>>23567359The sheer fact of the matter is that Kamen Rider is always going to immediately denote the original. If the series were about Kuuga or Kabuto or whatever it simply would not have the same impact.
>>23525100Next episode the plot will begin l
>>23561708This is a fantastic show.
Tackle-chan is a cutie and beauty!
All right episode 2 is where you can really say "Yeah, this is by the Air Master author." It's otaku all the way down and it's glorious.
>>23573556Maki (and the hag rival) also beats up a bunch of Showa Rider stage actors in Air Master, dressing as a Combatman and Jigoku Taishi.
This series is beautiful, man. It's rare nowadays to find an anime with this much heart. You can feel the passion from everyone involved.
>>23573866It's really not that hard to find honestly, most toku-inspired anime have people that are extremely passionate about their work and toku, and there have been quite a few recent works where the staff is autistically in love with the sour material such as Puniru, Gachiakuta and HyakkanoHonestly it's extremely heartwarming just how many recent animators are legitimately passionate and how we're getting newblood animators that actually try interesting animation techniques rather than just defaulting into trying to be "cinematic" without taking use of the animated medium such as a lot of recent Mappa stuff, I don't get why that studio can't make stuff like Idaten more often.
Between this and Shin Kamen Rider, which requires the audience to be a bigger rider fanatic to fully comprehend? This feels even harder for a total newfag to get.
>>23574055I think both just really take for granted an audience that knows the original concept and basic premise of the Showa Riders (or just the original Rider for Shin).Of course, they go in detail for reference, but generally you won't be confused if you don't get them. Like here they clearly explain who Tackle was for example.
It'd make more sense if the show was set in the 90s. Every 70s kid was obsessed with rider and that generation was on their 40s during the 90s. And Kamen Rider didn't air in the 90s and coincide with the Japanese lost decade so an autistic ridefag could make the connection that Japan lost the way because kids these days don't care for Rider
>>23574108I don't think it's that kids don't care for Rider in Japan, it's just that there's so much competition for attention that it's hard for anything to really be as huge as franchises used to be. This isn't unique to Japan, it's a worldwide thing.Also Japanese boomers seem to not particularly care for Heisei, at least that seems to be the impression they give.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkI81_qI_84
>>23574297Kids didn't care for rider in the 90s and even it's debatable if they really care now considering how drastically Rider changed in the Heisei era. Nowadays it's whatever Bandai want.Also Japanese boomers are in their 60s now but they were in their 40s in the 90s, hence it'd make more sense in Tojima want to be a rider was set in the 90s
>>23574108Kamen Rider stopped at Skyrider in this universe.
>>23574344In terms of Rider 1 of course kids don't really care about Showa, because kids generally don't care much for older things.But as a franchise Kamen Rider still seems to be relatively healthy in Japan, especially since they started making the annual series.It's just a combination that newer things are more suited to appeal to younger kids and there's so much media nowadays that there isn't really any comparison to the older days where there might be a handful of shows that everyone at a school watched. I think the only media that has that in Japan are Shounen Jump and Pokemon and comparing them to any of the legacy franchises is outright unfair.
>>23574362Why are Showafags like this?
>>23574369They are men of integrity.
>>23525100if I were a total newfag, where would I start with kamen rider?
I thought this show was a joke but the first episode was so epic wtf? Festival fight had me smile so big.
>>23574423Firstly, understand that with some relatively meaningless exceptions, all Riders are entirely standalone stories that do not meaningfully build off of previous shows. In the Showa era, there would be occasional guest appearances of past riders every so often but the series are still very much able to be enjoyed separately. Ignore the anniversary shows Decade and Zi-OAre you comfortable with Showa-era cheese and older, more formulaic shows? Then the original is a great place to start. (If you're allergic to old stuff but still want to learn more about the OG, the recent Shin Kamen Rider movie by Hideaki Anno is a great, loving tribute to the original)Do you like J-Drama, 2000's Japan and slasher movies? Check out Kuuga, the series that revived the franchise for the Heisei era.Do you like detective stories, and more toyetic/anime like action? W is the first of the "second wave" of Heisei series that established a lot of the current common tropes and formulas that the series still uses today.Do you want to hop in to an ongoing show and watch along with a community? Zeztz was designed from the ground-up to be a great "baby's first Rider" and even more to the point, "The West's first Rider". Has been off to a pretty good start so far, and is very easy to catch up and follow along with thanks to Toei finally putting an officially translated version of the show out for an international audience as-it-airs. These are just a handful of particularly strong "Start Here" shows. Not necessarily the best the franchise has to offer, but good and worth checking out if any of them particularly strike your fancy. By and large you probably can just look at the design language of a main rider and get a sense if you'd be interested in watching their show. Don't worry too much about side material off the top.
>>23574362>Kids didn't care for rider in the 90sNah. Rider had magazines and games throughout the 90s, more consistently than now even. They had a plan to market the older Riders to children starting from their appearance in Black RX and it seemingly worked, which is why you got stuff like the beat en' up, racing game, all the "Great Battle" and "Compati Hero" series games too, featuring Rider alongside Gundam and Ultraman.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compati_Hero
>>23574563>Don't worry too much about side material off the top.He has to for certain shows.
>>23574563>Shin Kamen Rider movie by Hideaki Anno is a great, loving tribute to the originalI thought it went way too hard on fan service and way too little on actual plot. The movie wasn't enjoyable to people I took to see it who have never seen the original.
>>23574685The problem with the movie is the introduction, which is a really important element, basically assumes you already know it and rushes through all.If you already go into it knowing about Rider and what to expect it can still work, but if you have no reference at all regarding Rider 1's origin, it's just an odd intro that can just put you off from the rest of the movie, since after it's done the movie assumes you're with it already.I really wish it could work as a way to introduce people to Rider, but rushing through the intro is a baffling choice that really limits the audience.
>>23574592I think that stuff was aimed to the manchildren. No doubt some kids were into rider but they were a small group of nerdy kids with a creepy uncle passing them rider tapes. Normal kids were into sentai and metal hero because they have shows airing at that moment>>23574344Boomers don't want to admit they're old and 40 years old sound like a young man from their perspective
>>23574055I think this is absurd enough to be enjoy even for a total newfag. Shin is easy enough to follow but it's frankly a bad movie for someone who's not a fan. You won't get any of the references and they'll come off as silly, but not in a fun way like this.
>>23574563thank you for such a detailed answer, i've been eyeing the franchise for a long time. i'll start with W and work my way from there.
>Just starts undressing on the street>When pressed to say if he still liked her the other people just egg him onThis show is great.
>>23575392Of course friend! Happy to help. W was one of the first shows I got into as well. W is also the only one of those shows I mentioned that does have side material that is germane to the actual series, so please bear with me for this:Between Episode 12 & 13, watch the W half of Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider W & Decade: Movie War 2010. For a good few years they did summer movies that featured cross-overs between the previous years' show and the current one. They typically follow a format of "Show A movie + Show B movie + Show A+B joint finale". Just watch the W portion of the film and don't worry at all about the Decade stuff. Can we just rec the Fuuto PI Skull movie now? Isn't that basically the same thing but much less convoluted of a rec?Then, between Episodes 44 & 45 is the Winter movie, Kamen Rider W Forever: A to Z/The Gaia Memories of Fate. Very fun movie and does have a bit of an impact on the series. Not absolutely essential, but still quite enjoyable and you won't want to miss it.Lastly, feel free to post your thoughts and feelings as you start watching in /krg/! It's always nice to see anons watch a beloved series for the first time and get their first impressions.
>>23575516>Can we just rec the Fuuto PI Skull movie now? Isn't that basically the same thing but much less convoluted of a rec?It still has segments from Fuuto PI's present, with Tokime and everything, so it shouldn't be watched until after the Fuuto PI anime.
>makes a single Shocker grunt look intimidating as fuckI feel like the series has already justified its existence just by accomplishing this feat
>>23525100I hope this series revives the translation scene for Kamen Rider Manga, actually for all the Tokusatsu Manga, there are so many untranslated works like that Clay Kamen Rider manga
>>23574592Kamen Rider has already become a cultural icon before that point, he doesn't even need to be a "current thing" like the yearly shows of today to be in the public consciousness.https://youtu.be/ld6U1sxcXs0
So what is happening here. Is it like SamFlam where it becomes toku if he real instead of just adults playing pretend? If Shocker is real does that mean Kamen Rider is real too in this world and not just a tv show?
>>23525100>>23561708At least will not have the bullshit like Samurai Flamenco?

>>23574362 >no black/rx rep fuck dude
>>23574369
>>23576066This is basically the Tojima want to be a Kamen Rider audience. Except that kid isn't his son but a nephew because it's extremely rare for a riderfag to reproduce
>>23576216Your seethe is palpable.
>>23576062The anime did have Black/RX merch in Tojima's house. you'll probably get some more cameos, just don't expect any actual character.
There's something really funny about Yuriko actually making a whole sexed-up Tackle suit and the eventual Riderman guy having an actual helmet and Rope Arm while Tanzaburo continues to just run around with this cheap-ass kid's mask he spent like 300 yen on.
>>23576432Meanwhile, this V3 fan doesn't even wear a mask, helmet or Rider suit
>>23576436It's meant to be the civilian clothes Shiro used to wear
>>23576436You Henshin from the heart, not the props.
Glad this takes place in a world where heisei riders don't exist.
>>23574055Shin is about as newfag friendly as Anno could do. It's all very recent concerns and on the nose ideas for the villains. Newfags just need to accept the premise, and the rest is made for them.That said, it's clearly made for a Japanese audience, who already knows about Kamen Rider, which is why we don't really have a home release and it was barely in theatres.You might be retarded if Shin KR was too much for you, because outside of Black Sun, it's probably the easiest thing to give to newfags.
>>23576641So does that mean that as soon as the showa era ended, Kamen Rider simply stopped?

I would tackle her if you know what I mean.
>>23577538No because he has a figure of J in his roomBasically there wasn't any Kamen Rider seasons after Ishinomori passed away because he couldn't secure the timeslot after Robocon was over

Since the midget girl is in the same setting, and the author loves full-body armor (I don't think there is any series of his without one), there is a high chance that there will be a character with actual Kamen Rider powersuits in the future.

>>23561784Didn't Air Master translations stall out around chapter 10 or did someone pick it up in the 20 years since?
The whole world this anime takes place in makes no sense to me. Are there just all these deranged fans (including Tackle's father) who are Kamen Rider cultists, but meanwhile Shocker actually exists?
>>23578990If this is shared universe with Air Master that means its a world where someone can become a martial arts champion by memorizing all of Ken's moves from Street Fighter 2.
>>23579062Usually a fun thing to put in a setting.
>>23579062>>23578611Wait, it's a shared universe with Air Master? How so?
>>23579347Maki is the martial arts teacher of V3 guy's sister. She later joins the cast to train them. V3 guy also encountered Julietta Sakamoto and Maki's dad one time (and of course got kicked), he learned a speacil move from that encounter. John Lee also shows up, he is the ex-bf of Spider-Man's current girlfriend. He is now living with the Kajin and teaching them Bajiquan.That's what I can remember off the top of my head.
>>23579685Oh yeah just checked out some scans, I guess she does show up. Based af, hope the anime gets that far
>>23579933I'm sure the anime will cover the sister's mentor story, it's relatively early (volume 6), two volumes before the major fight with Bat Man which will probably be a good cut-off point for the anime to end at. But you never know.
>>23580012Well, based on the ratio of chapters to episode I doubt it gets that far during this cour. If it gets picked up for another set of episodes though she will
