Which other series should I check out? I was thinking of going for Gaim for Urobutcher since I like F/Z, Madoka and Saya no Uta.
Is the current series good?

I wish the show would explain what these little sprites are actually supposed to be. The website describes them as "entities" inside the capsule. But is that plot relevant at all? I hope they explore it. Are they trapped nightmares? I'm having trouble connecting with Capsems as collectibles because they're not explained very well yet.

I think that's a problem we kinda see everywhere, hollywood productions are expensive as fuck now and everyone it's fucking broke right now out of that, warner being on sell right now should let you see it, there cost of making *things* it's going up and it dosen't seems to be a stop.
>>
>>23623488
And most of those rising costs are complete bs blown out of proportion by technology costs that only exist to inflate some Jew company's stocks. All the AI shit and tech needed for CGI ballooned in cost because of that, and everybody's fucked.
Companies bleed money unless they have those stocks, merch quality is shit, and nobody has money to buy it even if they want the shit merch because they got fired to maximize profits for the company that's already making 99 noseillion dollars off the interest they themselves created.

>>23623294
I don't know what to say.
It doesn't make sense that it costs so much, when the entire point of tokusatsu is low-budget, kabuki-style performance. Since the beginning it's been low-budget, so what exactly is the money going on? Advertising? The time slot? Toy production? Why exactly is it that the more they spend on a show, the less liked it is than the cheapest production - the original Kamen Rider?
They don't have to compete with Marvel. They just have to be the hero that Japanese kids need. The idea of expanding to a global market is a disaster; it has run for 50 years without the need for such things, so why is it needed suddenly now?
They could easily pare back the budget. People don't care about CGI, let's have more realistic Riders for a change. Imagine an entire series of G3-style Riders with almost 0 computer effects.

As another Anon said,
>Today's kids don't believe in Super Sentai or Kamen Rider in the first place
This cuts the deepest of all. Yet as someone who works with kids IN JAPAN, DAILY, that's not true. There are some kids who only like Precure, and some kids who only like Rider.
Rider was never meant to be super mainstream; after all, he's a tragic hero who hides tears behind the mask.
I think Toei need to really think deeply about what Rider is and what they want it to be. It will neer be a gigantic 100-billion dollar property like Pokémon, but neither will Star Wars, and there are basically real life cults based around that.
It's okay to keep Rider humble. It's not about fighting the entire world, it's about saving those in front of you.
>>
>>23623598
>so what exactly is the money going on? Advertising? The time slot? Toy production? Why exactly is it that the more they spend on a show, the less liked it is than the cheapest production - the original Kamen Rider?

I am someone who is ignorant in this field, but why they don't idk, just give the rights to some streaming service as netflix, HBO max etc just to streaming the shows as korean dramas do? not give them the rights of the show itself as hasbro, but like, at least to promote idk.
>>
>>23623598
If you're actually in japan you should just send a letter to toei higher-ups, let the voice of a filthy gaijin be heard there
>>
>>23623598
It was cheap when it was a guy in track pants and foam abs and bug helmet running around an open field with gunpowder being set off around him and could actually ride a stock bike with a few parts glued on. Now there's a ton of CG, elaborate costumes, several elaborate costumes because every lead Rider has a dozen suits per show now (in most of Showa they had one suit the whole show) and all kinds of elaborate set pieces. It's not so cheap anymore. They want to make it more in budget they'd got to go back to one main suit and maybe an upgrade the whole show and stop spending hundreds of thousands of yen on a suit that's worn for 5 episodes and then dumped for the next big upgrade. But Bandai won't do that because that's how they make their money. So they're stuck.
>>
>>23623606
It's bizarre that they'd rather it die under their watch than have it continue under others.
Tojima wants to be a Kamen Rider shows that even if the show proper ends, people will still make works about it, anyway. That show itself has a higher budget than most actual Rider shows themselves did.

>>23623607
I am. But they don't (and shouldn't) care about what gaijin think, and secondly I wouldn't know where to send it. It's true that kids are distracted by social media, but so are the adults. It'd probably only be seen if it was posted on fucking twitter.

>>23623611
It's their own fault. No one ever asked for a huge cast of Riders fighting each other with CGI dragons (no shade, Ryuki).
This is purely an issue in their own heads. They THINK they need to be bigger and more explosive eery year, but they don't. The fans just want to see the spirit of justice. That spirit doesn't need CGI or big fights, it can occur even in the smallest of places.
>>
>>23623598
>Why exactly is it that the more they spend on a show, the less liked it is than the cheapest production - the original Kamen Rider?
A bunch of modern shows are more liked than any of the Showa series.
>>
>>23623616
I think Tojima is popular due in large part because it's built off of the 50 year legendary reputation the first Kamen Rider has as a significant Japanese cultural work, if it were an entirely original property it might be good but flop like SamFlam sadly did.
>>
>>23623598
>Rider was never meant to be super mainstream; after all, he's a tragic hero who hides tears behind the mask.
It was, they wanted to create a childrens' show that was profitable and popular like Tiger Mask.
>>
Unironically just cull half the fucking CGI from the shows to save a lot of money. It looks fucking terrible and I refuse to believe anybody at Toei thinks otherwise. Just think about the awful bike scene from the first episode of Gavv and how shitty that looked, now imagine how much that had to have cost to do. Or God forbid the second(?) episode of Saber where 75% of it was EDF tier CGI and it looked like hell became real. THAT must have been expensive as fuck too since it went on for so long and was so extensive.
>>
>>23623623
Or just baffling decisions like Zenkaiger’s final mech being entirely 100% CGI, who the fuck thought that was a good idea budget wise and presentation wise?
>>
>>23623623

>>23623618
That's true, but that's largely because the audience of Rider has only kept on expanding over the years for various - reasons: popularity of past Riders, word of mouth, and also simply accessibility. Now you can watch all Rider shows online, so of course it has a much greater reach than back in the 1980's when you literally had to be in Japan watching a certain channel on a Japanese television at a specific time of day.

>>23623620
That's completely true, I entirely agree with you. SamFlam had a lot of potential but it failed because its Sentai were half-assed parodies of actual Sentai. For fans of real tokusatsu (at least to me) it felt insulting. Sentai all have a theme and motif; in SamFlam each Sentai was just themed on Sentai, without taking it seriously.

>>23623622
I'm talking about Ishinomori's vision. Yes, he's dead, and no, Rider isn't quite like what he envisioned anymore. But the spirit is still there, for now.

I just don't get how the solution to "it's a bit tough to keep up with the financial side of tokusatsu" is "scrap the whole fucking thing".
I mean we still have local hero events in Japan all the fucking time, their budget is non-existent yet people turn out for them. It'd be too tragic (and ironic) for the thing that finished Rider to be simply...money.
>>
The problem is they can't go back to Showa style just like how the west can't go back to hokey physical prop sci fi style like TOS Star Trek and Lost in Space. It was ok when that was the peak of technology but now it would look hokey and unacceptable.

It's like how "retro" games are still made on modern high tech hardware, just with an old style overcoat. They're not programmed on circuit boards with laggy glitchy old 8 bit hardware, that would be considered unacceptable
>>
>>23623598
There's also the cost in renting spaces, which has been getting more restrictive and expensive over the years. In fact, shit that was cheaper in the past has been getting more and more expensive each passing year, far beyond the inflation rate.
All this talk being expensive and shit but I doubt Rider will die anytime soon.
>>23623616
Toujima offers nothing of what I want from KR. Nor Spirits or the Linebarrels of Ultra manga. I want live-action with real people, if Toku goes the way of Power Rangers of "surviving" as comics and manga I'm out.
>>
even if we cut the CG use and costs theres still be stuff that makes production way harder/expensive like
> "The main reason for the end is the soaring production costs. In the past, we had ample budgets for explosions and character costumes, but now the situation is extremely difficult." The burden of making up for this has fallen on the staff and cast. "The filming location was a shady one, going against the times. Explosion scenes were shot on location far from Tokyo, and multiple episodes' worth of explosion scenes had to be shot all at once. With a tight budget and schedule, filming was extremely tough in order to meet the weekly broadcast deadline."
>"In recent years, work style reforms have limited filming to 9 p.m., but in reality, it sometimes went on into the night, and there were times when we couldn't even pay the staff for taxi fare. In this environment, the popularity of the series stagnated, and merchandise sales also suffered, creating a vicious cycle."
>"The number of people applying for auditions was decreasing. It seems that the tight restrictions on appearing and the inability to schedule other work were unpopular. To compensate for this, the cast members interacted more with each other during filming, and there was constant talk on set about who had ended up with whom (laughs)."

To some degree.
I can accept that they wanted to tell a new story but couldn't bring all the actors back, rebuild all the scenery, create all the new props and suits, but I still would have enjoyed it more as a proper Toku, even if they did like the Stageshow and recasted everyone.
>>
>>23623651
Listen, I agree, but it's still only limited by your perspective. Here's an example: Smallville. That show ran for SEASONS, and it IS a Superman show. They didn't even have suits or good writing, yet it did just fine. Future Riders could easily be low-key dramas with henshin sequences more like THE FIRST/NEXT where the Riders simply manually equip their gear. It only needs flashy sequences if you think it does.
Early Rider props looked like shit - in HD, back on 70's televisions it looked great. A bit like the sprites/CRT phenomenon.
Come on, there are cosplayers who make 1:1 cosplays of Heisei Rider suits with a budget of $1000 dollars. This is all just learned helplessness and making excuses. "If it doesn't make 1 billion dollars per episode it's a waste"? Fuck that.

>>23623652
>There's also the cost in renting spaces
See this is an actual problem.
There must still be a solution.
I mean now that Toei already invested in that awful CGI screen they can use that. They could film the rest in offices and alleys.

>Toujima offers nothing of what I want from KR
Totally respect that, same here. My point was simply to illustrate that even something that isn't even Kamen Rider, but is ABOUT Kamen Rider, can be profitable, relevant and popular.
>>
>>23623633
This. Cut the episode count in half, cut the forms as a result (3 suits tops, base, upgrade around episode 12 and final form for the final stretch) and they'll probably get their budget under control. The only question is what to do for the rest of the year.
>>
>>23623651
The sad thing is Star Trek is in such a state I can almost promise it would generate actual excitement and goodwill among whatever fans are left if Paramount had the balls to make a new series look like TOS or the movies.
>>
>>23623673
>Come on, there are cosplayers who make 1:1 cosplays of Heisei Rider suits with a budget of $1000 dollars.

Yeah but set off a few exploding spark packs on them and have the cosplayer backflip onto hard ground a couple times and I guarantee the suit will fall apart in short order. They have to be made to take a years worth of abuse
>>
>>23623598
>Since the beginning it's been low-budget, so what exactly is the money going on? Advertising? The time slot? Toy production?

If it's anything like America, in addition to general production costs, the top management gets a pay increase when a show meets or exceeds expectations, essentially taking a cut from the revenue that could be going to the show/staff.
>>
>>23623649
>I'm talking about Ishinomori's vision
The initial idea to create the show that became Kamen Rider didn't originate from Ishinomori, it came from a TV suit, Ishinomori was brought in as a creative. Rider has always been meant to be a commercial hero, it's not a passion project, even if Ishinomori really put his soul into it.
>>
>>23623688
But Rider means so much more than that, please ignore all the times it got shelved because it wasn't making money.

>>
>>23623687
It's a good point. It really is.
But it's still workable. You can buy HEMA and other combat sports equipment that literally can and does take such punishment for relatively cheap. I really think any issues with suits is that there are too many fucking Riders these days, and too many different suits. Regad didn't need to have a different body or helmet at all since it's in the same "series" as Glare and Gazer. I can understand now why so many kitbashes and repaints, but they should do it intelligently instead of haphazardly as they have been doing.
Literally no one has ever complained that "Ichigo and Nigo look to similar" or that "the Shocker Riders should have a different design from Ichigo and Nigo". No one has ever said that, because there are contextual reasons for the similarity.

>>23623688
Thanks, I didn't know that.
Well, look. In this case then it's just reducing it to atoms. You can reduce anything to this if you want to go far enough. "Pokémon was never meant to inspire children and make them appreciate nature, it started as a game for profit only, Tajiri added his boyhood dream later". If you reduce anything far enough, yeah, I guess you can say it was actually nothing.
But we don't do that, do we? There is a point in everything, even countries, where it "became" what it is. We can either accept Rider as a hero for children based around justice and stoicism in the face of grief, or we can just say "fuck it, it was never anything to begin with". We can't do both.
There's that saying of "if you don't worship something, you'll worship anything" and it applies here. If Rider goes away, where will you get your morals? Who else will serve as an example? Rider is about holding out hope in the face of great odds. If Rider fans can't even do that, who will?
>>
>>23623696
The first time it was still making money they just stopped Stronger because it was starting to decline and they didn't want to compete with Goranger. The second time it was making money but only because of previous actor cameoes which the staff didn't want to rely on. The third time Black RX still did good but the show got shelved because of a tiff between the producer and Ishinomori.
>>
>>23623644
Yeah, until Q2 started.
>>
>>23623623
>where 75% of it was EDF tier CGI and it looked like hell became real
ROFL. That's exactly how I'd describe it.
Toei has this obsession with showing off their "awesome" CGI on Ep.1 of the shows. Gavv bike. Revice BIG ASS LEGS. Zero One's bus jump. It looks so fucking bad, always. Sometimes they throw it at the end too, like that horrible Gotchard shot people occasionally post.
>>23623633
>>23623674
I've always been a strong proponent of this because of Amazon and Stronger. Cutting Amazon into what is essentially two 13-episode arcs made it feel so much nicer to watch. Sure it was due to outside circumstances but it made the show super solid.
Stronger's 39 episode count is the right length to cover the story and characters, and the show ends up perfect. So that's also a valid episode count to use if cutting from 50 to 26 would be too much for Toei.

CG, the answer is always CG, despite being made in sweatshop tier conditions, CG is to date, prohibitively expensive, that's why CG anime is still a massive gamble, it can very easily look like and cost a fuck ton. With the constantly growing creep of things needing to look better and better for TV to keep up with scaling resolutions and the need to not be humiliated on twitter for having a shitty CG moment, production cost have skyrocketed, you can't divorce KR or SS from CG at this point , there's hardly any pure practical work being done for KR anymore, just look at ANY Zeztz fight.
The amount of content they're expected to put out just keeps growing as well, it's the Vcinema, the specials, the movies, the extra content, it all piles up, and just like anime, the fastest but also more expensive way is to use CG. at this point in a franchises life you can't just downscale it, certainly not to the point where it would go back to being feasible, it would be a dated piece of dogshit that would turn off kids instantly, it don't think canning Rider is realistically being considered, but going down to a 26 eps series, sounds very likely
>>
>>23623705
>Regad didn't need to have a different body or helmet at all since it's in the same "series" as Glare and Gazer
The only new parts of the Regads are Omega's helmet, the little eye thingies slapped all over its suit and maybe the coattails. 90% of it is a kitbash of Glare/Gazer and Vulcan Asssault Wolf.

Honestly sounds cheaper than making a whole other copy of an existing suit.
>>
>>23623633
I've been saying this for YEARS. It's clear not every writer or series can stick to landing with over 50 episodes as it is.
>>
>>23623728
They should just drop the CGI then. There's nothing about Kamen Rider itself that necessitates CGI, unlike the bike, the mask, and the tragedy.
>The amount of content they're expected to put out just keeps growing as well
By who though? Rider was doing just fine in early Heisei before crossovers were even a thing. They just did the series, a movie and a hyper battle video. That's it.

>>23623729
I know Anon, my point was just that they could have saved even more time and money by just repainting the Glare/Gazer suit again. Instead they tried to make it look like a new suit by using materials everyone could instantly tell weren't new at a glance, and didn't fit into Geats, either.

are Kuuga and Den-o different from W? I am guessing stuff modern raider stuff is vastly different from stuff of the early 2000s?
>>
>>23623881
every modern rider season barring decade and zi-o are standalone. rider is broken up into three main eras: showa, heisei, reiwa. heisei is further subdivided into two categories, phase 1 and 2. phase 1 is notably different in tone and production from 2, as 2 (starting with W) begins to take a much greater focus on toyetic elements and transformation gimmicks. reiwa shows exacerbate this. ymmv but most prefer heisei phase 1 for modern rider due to the tone, themes, and production value. kuuga is peak so just start there if you're feeling it. showa stuff is also good but there's more interconnectivity between several of the seasons.
>>
>>23623881
Kuuga is a bit more dry humored and dramatic. Den O is a lot of Japanese flavored gag. W meet both in the middle and basically how most Rider shows today are written.
>>
>>23623852
W is the best show if you want to get a taste of what Rider is like in general, OOO is also a good starter show. Reiwa isn't any different from what you can find in the second half of Heisei, but half its shows do take after Gaim in particular, though maybe Ex-Aid is a better starter for the modern serialized format since its writer has written half the Reiwa shows so far. Watch Agito if you want to know what early Heisei is like, maybe Kabuto too. Black is a good introduction to Showa for newbies.
>>

Thanks for the extensive explanation, i will start with Kuuga right now.... is there a good streaming site? if not i will have to download it.

That was for different reasons and they knew the actress would have to leave ahead of time so they replaced her with a different character entirely. The problem here is they film months in advance now and the actress was randomly fired in the middle of the week so the only way to salvage what they filmed was to recast another actress as the same character and refilm scenes with her specifically in order to keep the story they had still going.

Kamen Riders are also meant to be lonely warriors yet they always have a crew of friends who support them. The myth of a Rider being suffering and loneliness is constantly defied by every show, including Showa series, intentionally or not. Kamen Rider is a hero who thrives in spite of suffering, not one who wallows in it.

Hongo and Hayato routinely scammed each other into making them fall back so they could fight the villains themselves (The most infamous example being Hongo tricking Hayato with the double-headed coin so that Hayato would have to let Hongo fight alone). Kazami and Joji fucking hated each other for most of the show and only became tenuous allies in the ending stretch, and even during then they had multiple disagreements over fighting the villains that resulted in full-on slug-outs.

It's been canon for over 10 years now that original Shocker's combatmen were a mixture of brainwashed cyborgs and literally just regular guys.

Nah, sometimes they just like portraying them as very down to earth due to how they became jokes over the years, but they're still officially cyborgs.

Still, doesn't make much sense with their characterization in the original series where all were at least conditioned enough that Hongo and Ichimonji couldn't get them to spill any info by capturing/beating them up.

Like, they might behave like normal people on the surface, but at least as set up in the original, they'd all be hiding their true/implanted intentions behind that facade. But they want to write them as jokes so that gets priority over following what was established.

Let me guess what number he should be. Because he's partially a CODE agent and a former member of the PAD, he could be Code Number 6 or something. Yuzuki's character could be Code Number 8 since she's starting out as a member of Nightmare before switching sides.

Did anyone else not like Anno's Shin Kamen Rider movie.

I love the original show and I loved Ishinomori's original manga (particularly pre-Hayato), but the movie didn't do it for me. Way too much exposition, no main characters I actually felt invested in, janky dialogue, and themes so unsubtle I felt like something was beating me to death with a hammer (and we're talking Kamen Rider here, so that's saying something).

I don't know, I was hoping I'd like it more than I did.
>>
is kr dying like sentai or is it fine
>>
>>23626154
its not dying immediately, but it is also facing the same problems. expensive cg, location shoots, and worker costs. less money coming in from toys because the kid mines are drying up, etc. it has the benefit of tricking older kids and manchildren to buy the toys on a scale better than sentai, but that's only a bandaid for the whole thing coming down.
when sentai dies, it's not like all of that budget will shift to kr to save it. it will disappear back into the advertisers' accounts.

I hated the whole idea of SHOCKER of being reduced to being a stand-in for Happy Science. I get it that cults are bad, but Anno pushing his opinions on KR is just bad taste.

Also the whole finale was just terrible from too much bad cgi in the final fight with the batta augs and the the terrible choreography in the fight between 0-go and Ichigo/Nigo (apparently in the documentary there was a whole dispute between anno and the guy who did the choreography for Shin).

It's weird because I've always assumed they went all in on CG and multiple forms because Bandai was financing all that. But maybe their sponsorship isn't actually enough? Then why do they have such control over the show in the first place? Or does Toei's staff actually ENJOY all the multiple forms and such? It doesn't feel like it with how the writing and even some directors treat them.
>>
>>23623673
>I mean now that Toei already invested in that awful CGI screen they can use that.
They didn't actually invest into it though. It was just rented from Sony. The CG backgrounds in all Sentai and Rider outside of some stuff during the period that was rented are still just standard green screen (and even many of Kingohger scenes were green screen because they didn't have free access to that room).

This hasn't been true for a while though. Spring movies are dead. Winter movies are dead.

There's TTFC specials, but that's completely separate from the tv shows as far as funding goes (no participation of Tv Asahi for example, unlike the movies).
>>
>>23626166
>Then why do they have such control over the show in the first place?
Bandai is still one of the biggest shareholders, right below the TV broadcasting companies.
>Or does Toei's staff actually ENJOY all the multiple forms and such?
No, it's Bandai who pushes for that, Saber's producer talked about all the toys they pushed onto the production and Geats' said that the Armed Buckles were made as a compromise because she didn't want the show to have that many forms but Bandai still wanted a certain amount of toys to sell.
>>
>>23626173
That's because it's Mega Koraidon.
>>
>>23626198
>Bandai is still one of the biggest shareholders, right below the TV broadcasting companies.

Yeah, but according to this report the crap they're pushing on the show apparently isn't getting covered by the money they put in as sponsor. I always assumed it did, which is why Toei went along with it, according to this report that's not true.

If they weren't making bank, KR would have gone the way of Super Sentai and got cancelled. Not to mention there's no elaborate retools and 5 year plans to "fix" Rider like there was with Super Sentai after sales fell down a cliff.
>>
>>23626166
Simple; they have to cover cost of production which includes things like licensing fees, rent for spaces, all of the actors and writers' fees, suit design, development and maintenance, etc.
Increasing costs of everything are obviously the driving factor to sell as many toys as possible, but there's nothing wrong with simply wanting to make a profit, too.

I like it well enough as its own thing, but ultimately it has the same issue The First/Next had of stretching minute aspects of the show/manga over the director's personal interests.

At least it was fun and gave us some of the best recreations of the original suits.

I've been kinda interested in watching Kamen Rider recently, i have watched a video explaining various iterations of Kamen Rider and i think i want to watch one of the ones in the serious side but also i don't want my first one to suck or be a total time sink with no good payoff. The one that seemed interesting was Geats but if anybody got any recommendations for what i'm looking for then i'm open to hear them, someone in another thread recommended Kuuga and Ryuki to me

What about Kabuto 20th?

>>23626053
The suit is the best, and Ruriko is cute. That's a 10/10 for me. It's not like Kamen Rider have ever been this citizen kane of story, so the one we got is actually better than any existing Kamen Rider story.

Toei financial report. We don't get numbers per franchise unlike with with Bandai's, but they noted the strong sales of merch related to older shows and anniversary projects.

The Gavv/Gozyuger double feature is also said to have performed well. As well as live events like the East Asian run of the Kamen Rider Ehxibition and the All Super Sentai ehxibition. Sales of the Kamen Rider Store also were strong.

And apparently licensing out Zeztz for worldwide distribution gave them a boost in licensing money already (we won't see this under Bandai's numbers since it's not related to products, just the money Toei is making by licensing the show around the world).

He’s doing a fine job in the action department. Zeztz just isn’t that dynamic of character to play.

so is zeztz actually good or
>>
>>23627309
It's very dry. You can tell they're making it not as super flashy to appeal to other markets besides Asia.
>>
>>23627309
It's very by the numbers so far. It might kick into high gear with the 5 Riders and Rivals they're introducing next quarter, but it could just turn out to be another Gavv Q2 situation since I've heard the producer wants the show to remain episodic for at least the first half.
>>
>>23627309
We don't know yet, it hasn't blown our socks off yet but it isn't a fucking disaster like early Saber or Gotchard.

Things I'm getting annoyed at is how Nox being Mr Mysterious is being dragged out to all hell, how Baku's sister constantly drags him away from doing stuff and ties him down to a hospital bed while doing absolutely jack shit herself.

I like the cop duo but they seem mostly irrelevant for now. Zero is still a mystery. Nemu is kinda boring at an "Izu is kinda boring" level but has less excuse for it because she's actually human.

It's serviceable, it's shilling toys at the moment and trying to establish the universe and standard before inevitably breaking it and throwing us for a loop because we know that's going to happen. It's very episodic so far with very minor plot progression each two parter.

Things we've found out so far:
Nemu is comatose and permanently asleep as a result, and kidnapped by Nox and being held in god knows where.
Nox is a missing persons as well and considers himself to be the same as Nemu and wants to steal Zeztz's transformation trinklets to unlock his own power.

I think that's about it so far, it's just Monster of the Fortnight solving random individual's problems.

Not unlock but restore, his gears was damaged by something that prevented him from using his own Capsem so he sought the Recovery Capsem to undo the damage and allow him to transform again.

>>23627442
I think the two episode format is to blame for that. It worked for Double because that show had better pacing and was less formulaic. Zeztz relied too much on suspense to keep the plot interesting, in my opinion. It also felt like the show never really balanced the real world and dream world sequences well. The real world sections only seemed to exist so the cops could give Baku an info dump or so Baku could meet a dreamer for another info dump, or just to have a short scene with his sister. It got a bit too repetitive.

>>23627410
The dynamic between characters isn't strong enough for episodes that don't go anywhere and there just aren't enough questions and answers to string us along. Who the fuck is Zero? What's up with CODE? What's the deal with Black Cases, and why did they increase in frequency this year? Any relation to Nox being stuck in dreams for a while beforehand? What's he using the Nightmares for anyway? Or holding Nem for? What's the deal with kicking cop? What's the deal with Baku's sister? What's the deal with Baku?
Most of those are questions we've had since the start of the show, and they still haven't been expanded on

>>23627464
Baku's sister, Zero, the cops, Nem, Nox, and the victim of the week are 6 groups that Baku juggles and while they've crossed paths in their own ways, for the most part they don't play off each other. Plot lines connect the cops and Nox, and Nem and Nox have had some small scenes together and plot, but most everyone is all in their own worlds, interacting only with Baku.
>>
>>23627531
Yeah. Tanaka mentioned he wanted to go slow to focus on world-building, but outside of a bunch of Nem adverts there hasn’t been much of a world built yet.
>>
>>
>>23627521
Hisame was dead by this point in Ryuki, so you're already wrong. Additionaly, Ryuki's a character drama that's chock full of shenanigans and bullshit and mirror monsters slaughtering people, while Zeztz is a mystery of the week. Zeztz is trying to peel back the layers of this one problem every case, meanwhile Ryuki had like 20 dead bodies, 5 ambushes, 2 abductions, interpersonal arguments, and was still settling in to it's status quo.
>>
>>23627464
W and OOO have strong duos while Den-O and Fourze have a larger wacky main cast but Zeztz doesn't have either. Nem doesn't really work as Baku's duo partner since she's way too agreeable. I think the cops should have been able to enter dreams alongside Baku, the most I liked the show was in episode 2 when the main focus was them interacting with each other.
>>
>>23626774
>>23626794
>two old Heisei show specials in the same year

>>
>>23627576
I guess they wanted to keep the agent theme by having Baku always fly solo on missions like 007. I agree that Baku is too flat as a main character, he needed a partner to contrast with him and create some kind of dynamic.
>>
>>23627352
I don't know what compels that one person to spam up every single thread with Saber. We don't care if they like Saber or not, but why the fuck does every single /m/ and /wsg/ thread require entire fucking episodes cut up into webms of his autism. I literally wouldn't mind if he spammed up every thread with webms of various Kamen Rider series but it's always fucking Saber like some kind of CWC Sonichu level obsession.
>>
>>23627597
It's always saber and ghost too, like he latches onto the two worst series to constantly remind us how much we disliked them when they aired

>>
>>23627587
The Bond formula still relies on Bond Girls to give him someone to interact with. Nem in theory serves that purpose but her just following her dream role instead of her own objectives means she doesn't work in the way a character like Fujiko Mine does.
>>
>>23627606
Yeah that's ok, I literally would not care and would actually appreciate the webm spam if it was other series other than ghost / saber all the goddamn time. Like I think most of us wouldn't mind the one off ghost / saber spam if he was actually posting other series but what kind of laser guided autism caused them to latch themselves onto literally the worst series to continuously repost over and over.
>>
>>23627612
According to him, it's to "make you cry and seethe" and believes Saber webms "only annoys one or two retards who are probably actual schizoid shitposters".
>>
>>23627612
The Precure general managed to get rid of their autist who spammed the same 50 sakuga clips over and over but doing that here would likely require mods who care
>>
>>23627616
"One or two" is not the entire goddamn thread of everyone else instead of themselves. That's true schizo behavior right there
>>
>>23627621
I'm not posting the same webms over and over again, and I certainly don't dump any number close to 50 at a time. You wouldn't be able to get me banned just for posting a handful of clips from fucking Rider in the fucking Rider general.
>>23627598
>>23627612
I like how you retards only have a problem when it's a show you don't like. I only had 2 episodes of Ghost downloaded, pretty much just for the cool scenes, which is why I made webms for it 2 times. I have 4 episodes of Kabuto and way more of Gaim to make webms of, but of course your whiny ass is not gonna complain about those. I don't even like Ghost as a show, I'm just not such an autistic faggot I can't appreciate any cool or good scenes that come out of a show I don't generally like.

Sorry for posting Rider instead of spamming the same shitposts over and over again for years on end to bring this general closer to its death. But making people like you mad gives me even more of an incentive to continue, I'm not giving anyone the pleasure of discouraging me, especially not shitposters.

The thing that makes Zeztz fun is that you know that Kensei is trying very hard to sound mysterious, much like how Baku practices magic tricks to pick up girls in his dreams. Try hard dorks.

After all these years, I still think the best collectables were Gaim's Sengoku Driver and lockseeds. I still have almost all of the fruit related ones. I only do not have Kachidoki Melon, King Durian and Lychee.

As for the worst toys...
Hibiki's Origami, Kiva's Fuestles and the Fapsword (Inoue didn't even use them much in the show), Drive's shift cars / bikes, Sabers' books that won't shut the fuck up for the longest time although I was tempted to get "Hansel Nuts to Gretel" for the unfortunate name alone, Gotchard's Lunchbox Belt, Gavv's Gochizos

Hey, those were some of the best collectibles we've gotten so far
>>
>>23628093
>Hibiki's Origami
They were fine for their time.
>Kiva's Fuestles
Ahead of their time, one of the precursors of pin-based trinkets, most of the belts had a bunch of sounds programmed into them because of the Fuestles.
>Inoue didn't even use them much in the show
That doesn't make them bad toys.
>Sabers' books that won't shut the fuck up for the longest time
Half the sounds are optional and skippable, a toy having a lot of sounds to play isn't a bad thing.
>Gotchard's Lunchbox Belt
Tons of jingles programmed into that one and its add-ons.
>Gavv's Gochizos
They're cute and are compatible with several toys.
>>
>>23628106
Yeah Progrise Keys were fun to collect too, they're in the top tier for sure and they're good to put on display too.

In the tier underneath I'd say Zecters, Decadriver itself, Vice Stamps (Not the driver though), Ziku Driver + Ride Watches, Desire Driver + Any Large upgrades (tempted to put them down a tier because they're too big and hard to put on display), Gashats

Mid tier: Gaia Memories, Greeed Medals, Fourze Switches for just click clacking with them
>>
>>23628114
I just didn't like the design of the Gochizos or Gavv's suits in general. I didn't mind the show itself it's just I did not like the >[8O] toys and clownmusic muncherbelt or the ADHD style clashing colors splashing everywhere aesthetic.

I ironically like Revice Driver. Zero-One is great too but it's too big to grip.

I really wish the Desire Driver was a bit "smarter" and had infrared so the different belt attachments could communicate with each other. That was one of the best things about the Revice and Gavv toys, their ability to do two-way communication.
