Random notes:

-The fights in this are so good. They're not as choerograph focused as Gavv with the way it used enclosed spaces, but this has its own style of action of making it so Zeztz always looks 'cool'. Like how he was glow-in-the-dark for the first part of that fight

-Doing the stretchy thing through the fucking building so he can hit the monster from behind was sick as shit

-I was weirdly hyped to see Baku henshin in real life, though I think a part of me feels like I thought the 'delusional spy in dreams' thing would be a longer lasting development process to eventually lead to Baku being able to transform himself in reality, but we got that in episode 3. Not complaining or anything, just surprised that wasn't where that was going.

-I wondered how Baku would be able to fight in dreams consistently if he has to actually be asleep to do it, but they solved this by just having him being able to sleep at the drop of a hat. So problem solved lol

-Nem is the most obviously suspicious character

-It was cute that Baku when in real life speaks in Engrish (Stoppu za bombaa/I'mu onnit) compared to in the dream where he speaks in clearer English.
>>
We got end of the world setup in episode 3. Where's Geats when you need him?

My only concern is that the 3 doors thing seems obviously made to force 2-episode arcs but I'm not sure how that's going to play out like if that end of the world scenario is supposed to happen every time or whatever.

>>23536388
Toei apparently confirmed the OP visuals would be in episode 4

Really thought they’d save entering the real world until after we got the second rider

>>23536341
There's a scene being filmed inside a movie theater, so hopefully they fight inside to make use of the darkness

>>23536427
No, the action director is Jun Watanabe who did Zero-One, Saber, Revice, King-Ohger and Boonboomger
Gotchard's action director is currently working on Gozyuger
>>
So is the twist going to be that Nemu isn't lucid dreaming but rather everyone dreams of Nemu and Baku's lucid dreaming hijacks every Nemu he interacts with creating the illusion that she seemingly remembers him?

It was a clever idea to have the villains essentially win the first case to prove to Zeztz the danger of what happens if he fails. But I also think the villain winning makes the plot drag a lot in this one, especially when the last episode already showed enough information for us to get why the investigator was dreaming of explosions. It just feels like an episode that exists to introduce conflict rather than to be fun.
The fight at the end was good, but nowhere near the level of the past episode. And like everyone else said, it would have been better to save the real-life rider battles later. I liked the idea of a Kamen Rider that can only fight in dreams and can't in real life, but now he can just do both, which is less interesting.
>>
>>23536500
Well Nox Knight can only appear in dreams, until he becomes Yezz later
>>
>>23536383
I like the fact it played again. If it plays more later on means we will get inserts in almost all fights again. Hoping they'll have more songs ala how Gotchard did it - not a fan of the rap itself.
>>
>>23536500
I thought the whole part with Baku failing his mission in the dream was fun, because it was a a wake up call (heh) for him to take things seriously. And the part where he gets his ass kicked in real life was great.
>>
>>23536500
>I liked the idea of a Kamen Rider that can only fight in dreams and can't in real life
I think that would get in the way of roleplay for kids, KR toys are about becoming the hero... but how do you become a hero that only exists in dreams? I think it would affect the perceived cool factor if he was dream-only (even if just for 1/4 or 2/4 of the show, that's still a long time).
>>
>>23536429
thats what's weird.

i get he can transform in the waking world, that part, as well as the existence of the base in the waking world too, but much like him not being able to speak proper english outside dreams, shouldnt he be unable to do agent stuff too?
>>
>>23536500
>I liked the idea of a Kamen Rider that can only fight in dreams and can't in real life, but now he can just do both, which is less interesting.
Yeah I was hoping he'd be more green while fighting in real life and will gradually learn to fight better. Unless we learn Baku is trained, I guess the Zeztz driver makes up for his lack of training ala the 01 Driver.

Also it would've been a nice development for him to make his dreams a reality.
>>
>>23536500
>It just feels like an episode that exists to introduce conflict

And introduce conflict it did.

>while somewhat common knowledge, there werent really that many nightmare attacks.
>Baku failed his mission, by releasing Bomber in the waking world, Nox was able to infect a large number of people with nightmare butterflies now.
>this means that now the nightmare attacks should be way, WAY more frequent, and more noticeable to the authorities and the public in general.
>>
>>23536532
>it was a a wake up call (heh) for him to take things seriously
The wake up call should've been in the first or second episode, when he realized all this shit wasn't just a dream.
>>
>>23536545
Yes, captain obvious.
>>
>>23536500
>I liked the idea of a Kamen Rider that can only fight in dreams and can't in real life, but now he can just do both, which is less interesting.

For you. Limiting him to only fighting in dreams just puts an unnecessary damper on the proceedings by relegating the majority of the show to being doubly fantasy, with the added caveat of lessening the urgency of the stakes involved.
>>
>>23536535
I guess he gets lucid dream powers when he's transformed.
>>
>>23536535
It's also possible he just got lucky and was being cocky about it.
>>
>>23536543
>Yeah I was hoping he'd be more green while fighting in real life and will gradually learn to fight better.

He was. If you rewatch the last fight, he's way more clumsy and unsure at the start. It's only after he uses Transform that he starts getting into the flow of things and dominates the fight.
>>
>>23536543
Next episode we see him jogging with his sister, that counts as bit of training

>>23536551
NTA but you don't have to act like you're stupid just to defend a show you like from less than positive opinions.
>Limiting him to only fighting in dreams just puts an unnecessary damper on the proceedings by relegating the majority of the show to being doubly fantasy
I didn't see you or anybody whining about the show being too fantastical back during the previous 2 episodes, when Baku was only fighting in the dream world. Baku can see the Nightmares' human hosts in his dreams, Fujimi's already aware of the Nightmares and he's already contacted Baku, not to mention that Nasuka is making it to CODE's base next week, so they can still remain involved by handling detective work in the real world.
>with the added caveat of lessening the urgency of the stakes involved
The Nightmares' actions in the dream world already affect the human world, those are already enough stakes to not need the monster come to the real world every single time.
>>
>>23536650
>NTA but you don't have to act like you're stupid just to defend a show you like from less than positive opinions.
And you don't have to be overly vitrolic simply because I disagree with you.

>I didn't see you or anybody whining about the show being too fantastical back during the previous 2 episodes
But you can see how that formula can only last so long, right? Now they can shake things up and really get surreal about how much is a dream/reality, rather than relegating the majority of the action to the dream world.

>The Nightmares' actions in the dream world already affect the human world, those are already enough stakes to not need the monster come to the real world every single time.

The Nightmares don't have to break into the real world every time, but it's a good idea to properly establish the consequences of Baku failing early on rather than trying to stretch it out into a mid-season twist. Again, now there's more leeway for further developments later on.
>>
>>23536678
>But you can see how that formula can only last so long, right?
Nobody said it had to last forever, just longer. Making the monster come to the real world is just adding another extra step to the formula, it's not the big shakeup you think it is, especially since it's only been 3 episodes.
>really get surreal about how much is a dream/reality
They already did in the first two episodes. Hell, I would argue that establishing a clear process that makes the Nightmares manifest in the real world lessens the ambiguity of the world transitions.
>it's a good idea to properly establish the consequences of Baku failing early on rather than trying to stretch it out into a mid-season twist
This sounds like other shows that blew their loads too early because they concentrated most of their good ideas and good twists in the first half. You know, like Revice and Geats.
>>
>>23536711
>Making the monster come to the real world is just adding another extra step to the formula, it's not the big shakeup you think it is, especially since it's only been 3 episodes.

By that logic, dragging it out for another quarter or two doesn't make much of a difference either.

>Hell, I would argue that establishing a clear process that makes the Nightmares manifest in the real world lessens the ambiguity of the world transitions.

Not if it's made obvious when the monster appears. There's more freedom in how it's presented rather than just relying purely on mechanics.

>This sounds like other shows that blew their loads too early because they concentrated most of their good ideas and good twists in the first half.

I can understand being wary, but this just sounds like you're disappointed the show didn't adhere to how you thought it should go than any fault of the show. Again, it's only episode 3. We've still got at least 46 episodes to go.
>>
>>23536364
Was wondering if I heard that right.
>>
>>23536609
>>23536612
True I did notice he was not as smooth as his dream self. Though him getting better right away after using Transform is too sudden for me. Maybe I was hoping he'd be a bit awkward like early heisei fights and then gradually realizes his dream self's style.
>>
>>23536779
>By that logic, dragging it out for another quarter or two doesn't make much of a difference either
It'd be more of a shake-up if Nightmares had been dream-only for longer than just 2 episodes. Not to mention that this could've been accompanied by some other development or reveal that could only be done in the later parts of the show.
>Not if it's made obvious when the monster appears
If it appears in the real world then it's obvious that it's already reached the host possession stage.
>There's more freedom in how it's presented rather than just relying purely on mechanics.
I don't really get what you mean with these vague-ass statements.
>Again, it's only episode 3. We've still got at least 46 episodes to go.
I've heard similar stuff many times before, and for shows where it's not just me who has an issue. I guess we'll see, but I'm not holding out hope because Takahashi has already wasted the potential of his stories multiple times in a row.
>>
>>23536678
>The Nightmares don't have to break into the real world every time
They absolutely do if that's what the dreamer wants.
>>
>>23536829
Oh, pardon me, now that I reread your sentence, you completely missed that anon point, disregard my reply then.
>>
So I've been thinking a lot about the finisher after episode 1. Both Nightmares fell asleep and then screamed before dissolving, and Nightmares are manifestations of the user's subconscious. Does that make Zeztz the guy that kills you in your dreams to wake you up in reality?
>>
I think it's interesting that the Nightmare blew up Tokyo MPD headquarters before he fused with Fujimi. And I wasn't expecting the car that blew up in the previous dream to translate to the real world either. If someone has a dream about killing their family or some shit they don't even have to physically be in the same room as them to do it. That'a fucking terrifying.
>>23536838
In a sense. Which means Baku fucking killed himself in his nightmare lmao.

I liked the episode, but I feel like they are pulling plot developments too quickly, baku shouldn't be fighting IRL so soon and with barely any mental struggle.
Last episode I thought the CODE base in Baku's room was not real but seeing it this episode put a sour taste in my mouth, so I guess dreams are not that important when Baku has to fight them IRL anyways with the same amount of skill he does in the dreams and CODE exists IRL.
>>
>>23536969
I think it depends, there will be cases where he stops the Nightmare before it fulfills the dreamer’s wish and materializes into the real world.

>>
Another issue with fighting in the real world is that it is just less... interesting? Like the dream fights have cool things like the abrupt changes in scenery that feel dream-like even without expensive special effects. Moving to the real world feels like a downgrade to this flow even if the stakes are supposedly higher (which honestly they didn't quite feel like since Zeztz can just Rider kick the Nightmare anyway).
>>
I think it was just too soon. ep 2 should have been a one off with hints of Baku not taking it as serious as he should then the cop two parter would have hit a lil more.

Also I hope better cliff hangers if we keep two part format. Wizard I remember bending over backwards to create excuses to delay killing the monster. And Build making Banjo job constantly at the start of an episode after hyping him at the end of the previous one.
>>
Great episode and intro arc. I'll go ahead and buy the driver now. If we continue this pattern, I think I'll really like Zeztz. The action scenes have been fantastic and they use CG in a forgivable way

Seems to be what Baku's sister is up to when she's not on the screen. She just got fired from her job so we'll see if it follows continuity next week
>>
I like the detective, but it upsets me that Baku was able to save him even after failing to stop the bomber from destroying the station. Zero was so serious to warn him that once a Nightmare fulfills a bad dream, they're stuck in there forever. I thought the implication would be that you can't save them once it's done, but Zeztz can fail and still save the victims anyway. That takes away the tension from the initial Nightmare confrontation, and I'm worried there will be a pattern of Zeztz failing continously to stop the Nightmares in the dream world just to have an excuse to transform in the real world. He's just gonna end up looking like a sloppy agent.
>>
>can shift your calves into blades

transform is pretty brutal for a main rider base form side grade. This is the kinda shit I'd expect the kaijin in a v-cinema to be doing

Zero's explanation was about the "ultimate nightmare", I got this rewatching episodes 1 and 2 even before ep 3 aired.
Ep 2 showed one of three doors opening after the Nightmare exploded the police cars, in ep 1 while the psychological torture is happening the gun Nightmare also says the same phrase about ultimate nightmare.

My point is that they don't have to follow how it's shown in episode 3 every time. There could be times where a scene is setup like the dream world only to be revealed it's not later on, and vice versa. They don't always have to follow the formula exactly.

It was the mix that was awful not that there was rap at all. Terrible audio balancing between vocals and music track, both sounding like completely different songs didn't help either.

Rap as an insert song is a good idea in theory but the execution was really bad. Vision also would have just been better in every way, especially thematically with the lyrics.

Anon the same band that did this insert song made a good rock/rap insert song for Geats already:
https://youtu.be/B6POsTT2LK4
There's a lot of good Japanese rap out there, I still listen to Shonen Heart from Eureka Seven a lot. The rap insert song in Zeztz is just really bad, do westerners really like this kind of music? I just hope that we eventually get a rock insert song at least, but they'll probably take the Gotchard route where they only change insert song once a Mew quarter starts, rather than doing that whole also giving another riders insert songs like before. Meaning we'll probably have to listen to this crao song until January starts and the show introduces the secondary rider.

We have no OP yet, seasons written by Yuya Takahashi tend to avoid playing the OP video for several episodes to gain extra runtime.
Apparently the first 3 episodes were done as if it was a pilot movie, so we'll most likely finally get a video next episode
The best group is TokuScrubs who released the first episode rather quickly, but from episode 2 onward they came up with the retarded idea of waiting for the viet subs to release so that they can do a release that's both multi-audio and multi-subs. They really should have just done 2 separate releases but now due to their autism their subs release late and therefore every other subber group that depends on their scrub.

High-School is honestly not a good premise, it's pretty generic. And to be fair the job competition in Zero-One and the dramatic shift in Geats' second half were the producers' ideas so I would blame them as much as Takahashi for the issues.

>>23538694
That's disappointing, what happened to people listening to real rap like early Pharcyde or Nieve?

We saw Nox using his powers to get him ran over by a car when he tried to save the little girl in the first episode.

I was referring to Outsiders.

What dramatic shift? They just delayed Keiwa's heel turn and potentially Neon's reconciliation with her family (though this is unconfirmed), Takahashi just decided to turn one into even more of a clown and the other into an even more insufferable bitch rather than come up with a transition arc for them that at the very least wasn't frustrating to watch.

Keiwa got completely fucked by the producer, it wasn't just one delay, his arc was delayed repeatedly. Takahashi couldn't really do anything with him.

You know I am just saying. Every time I dream of a pretty Idol it involves me plowing inside her. Baku dreams of his Idol a lot there is a non zero chance that you know.

The 3rd quarter was the cast being retarded in order to delay these plot points due to the toys releasing later, since Dapan was pushed to release later this also meant that Win couldn't transform and Michinaga ended up winning against Beroba due to her using her Rider form for no reason since his upgrade was moved to a V-Cinema. On top of all that Keiwa was supposed to be the antagonist, but because Takebe didn't want kids to side with a bad guy she forced Takahashi to make his argument weaker and for Suel to be the antagonist. All of this pretty much screwed Geats, Takahashi is still at fault for not doing anything interesting with time travel or painting Michinaga as the good guy despite it not making sense, there's also his lack of adaptability but both are at fault here.
As long as Yanaka serves as a good tardwrangler and doesn't force the show to shift into an unplanned direction due to a retarded or autistic reason we could get a show as good as Ex-Aid at least.

I've never heard this before.
>Takahashi couldn't really do anything with him
He should've stuck to keeping him as a simple straight hero during that time period instead of deliberately doubling down on his bullying to the point he became a complete joke that the whole universe didn't respect.
>>
>>23538718
>I've never heard this before.
That's because it isn't true, the toys only got delayed once but the delays are the reason the show became worse since Takahashi still wanted to make something close to his original plan due to him already having done all that build up for Keiwa to become a villainous rival to Ace.

Considering he already tried to kiss her in the first episode it has definitely happened before, hell given the reaction Nagumo and Fujimi had when Baku mentioned Nem they probably have had wet dreams about her too.
>>
>>23538725
His sister finds where his poorly hidden copy of Nem's First Photobook.

Visibly used.

>>23536262
did they get revice designer for zeztz??
>>
>>23538715
>>23538723
You don't think Nemu is THAT dedicated to her roles do you...?
>>
>>23538824
All Kamen Rider suits get designed by Plex as a team, but Zeztz leading designer is Hideki Tajima while Takato Yamashita and Seigo Shotsubo (庄坪正剛) were the leads for Revice.
>>
>>23538723
>all that build up
You mean getting constantly fucked over for being good natured?
>>
>>23538701
Takahashi wrote Ex-Aid, not Fourze. He managed to fuck up fucking video games. Should have been the easiest thing in the world to do but somehow he completely shit his pants.
>>
>>23538918
Ex-Aid is mostly great and no one mentioned Fourze, he mentioned Highschool Heroes, the Sentai show written by Takahashi you retard
>>
>>23538916
He went apeshit when his sister almost died in the bombing episode, his dark self being shown in the Revice crossover, and the show building him. Up to become a proper equivalent to Ace during his first loss in the first DGP and the end of the Dezastar arc

>>23538862
She was willing to let Fujimi become a Nightmare until Baku came up with an in-character reason to be helpful. You tell me.

Having everything happen in dreams means the writers have more freedom to ass pull. Playing things out IRL gives Baku more chances to fuck up and gives the writers less wiggle room.
>>
So what are you anons opinion about the rider costume in itself?
I'm seriously having a division here.
On one side the design in itself is good and it looks amazing in the scenes when they focus on it as it glows.
...but on the rest of scenes when it looks more natural... It kinda feels cheap in a strange way? Not sure if you anons get what I mean? I think it's something in the texture. It looks like a Halloween costume.
>>
>>23541331
It seems worth noting that Baku might not be able to transform IRL until the Nightmare fully manifests itself first. So with Baku learning the importance of stopping them in dreams, it likely won't be a regular occurrence for some time.

>>23542757
The suit was definitely made with night scenes in mind, but I don't mind how it looks in brighter settings. Gives it a certain charm, like Showa era suits.
>>
I've not seen Kamen Rider since Double. Stretchy CGI limbs is not inviting so I think this franchise left me behind a long time ago.
