>>23842034One of BACK-ON's weakest recent songs
>>23842035They look like Another Riders
https://tieba.baidu.com/p/10679196526Kamen Rider Chronicle related post.
>>23842048So every main rider is fair game to have a Chronicle-born movie made about them, but he'll focus on ones that have "global appeal" first?
>>23842048So they're hoping to do more reboots like The First and Shin?
>>23842051If it's ones with universal appeal, it'll probably be>Ryuki>Kabuto>W>Build>Zero-One>Geats
Why is Baku's first instinct to equip the belt-like device on his chest?
>>23842053I feel Kiva, Fourze, and Drive are also options exclusively because of their leading actors.
I think the most important factor is knowing which actors are actually available.
Color was posting J-Hero tweet, what do you think?
>>23842066
>>23842066So My-Th is gonna be super flashy and "modern?"
>>23842068He's talking about j-hero or superherotoku?
>>23842063I get Fourze and Drive, but why Kiva? I don't recall Wataru being that popular. Hell, didn't he quit acting?
>>23842053Gaim as well
>>23842053Den-O and Gavv too
>>23842066The Rat Rider is going to be purely technological?
>>23842073Not as popular as the other two but still popular. He's had consistent work including within this year.
jpsfx's Facebook account isn't available at the moment.
>>23842085Den-O already got confirmed for a Chronicle movie.
>>23842053Imagine, they make the Ryuki movie all about crossing over its cast with the Dragon Knight cast.
>>23842093Power Rangers fans have been dreaming about that for years lol
>>23842073He never retired at all, he's still getting roles just not as much as some of the more popular Rider actors. Hell he showed up in that Daughter of Lupin TV show alongside Fujioka.
https://tieba.baidu.com/p/10679350357Agito post.
>>23842087But Kiva itself isn't a popular season. If we're only looking for popular actors, that means Gotchard will also have a higher chance of getting one
Higher quality scan.
>>23842095Would be a shame if it were to turn into a crazy bad dream one day
>>23842120Haha what a scamp
>>23842098I literally said exclusively due to the actors anon, Fourze also isn't popular.And Gotchard is too new for it to be an option anytime soon. Maybe in 8 years.
>>23842066Another year of 'Yoasobi OP' again
What if Lord Three Booster can surpass even ExDream Rise and kill Baku again? Worse, if Baku will be trapped in an endless nightmare that has all the Nightmares just replaced with Three killing him over and over again?Stupid guess, Baku's true Nightmare is the Death Nightmare... which never exists in records because Three removed said records and he is the Death Nightmare the whole time. He will truly kill Baku and override his existence in the real world to bring the Nightmare Scenario to the world, with only Nox left to stop it.
>>23842034It reminds me of why Zeztz and the other rider wear sneakers.
>>23842035needs bug eyes / needs bug eyes
>>23842128Use all the cool ideas for the show and there won't be any plot material left for the movieThis is what made Zi-O's movie so mediocre. Written into a corner through its closed loop storytelling.
>>23842053>>Zero-One>>GeatsGrim.
>>23842128Cool, now take your meds.
>>23842151You could at least be happy knowing that there will most likely never be a Zero-One project because good luck getting Aruto and Fuwa back
>>23842159Crossovers and reboots are also on the table.
>>23842161Then his complaints should be null and void since at that point, it's not Takahashi's Zero-One and Geats
>>23842164What if it's Takahashi's Avengers? A crossover between all Takahashi shows, written by Takahashi himself.
>>23841547Fourze was really good at this. One of the most believable in a long time and since, due to Gentaro's exaggerated body language.>>23842176So Outsiders 2?
camrip when
>>23842150Are you talking about Over Quartzer? That was an alt-timeline where the unearthed buried plots from the show to create a new narrative. That the complete opposite of what you're suggesting.
>>23842188The new narrative amounted to a secret super-evil version of Sougo who's worse than Oma telling our Sougo that his whole life was a simulation to see if he was actually worthy of becoming Zi-O in the "real" timeline. THat's not fresh, don't try to sell the movie to someone who's not buying
When the Takahashi seasons cross each other, the world awakens to a terrifying nightmare like no other.
>>23842196He wasn't a version of Sougo, he was someone else, the true king of the timeline. Tokiwa Sougo was essentially his kagemusha, there solely to take heat from the Timejackers and rebels while SOUGO schemes.
>>23842051>>23842053I don't think it's about "global" appeal, just high universal appeal in Japan itself.
>>23842059He likes seat-belts?
>>23842198That makes no difference. the "It was all a test and you failed" plot shows there's no potential direction for an anniversary film
>>23842196>>23842198Yeah, the movie is explaining the whole "Sougo showed an ability that attract Swartz attention, making him believe he was tied to a prophecy and key to his plans" set up that's in erly Zi-O and gets basically dropped in the late game. With the prophecy revealed to be a fake made by the Quartzer to manipulate Sougo and Swartz into executing their plan for them.The initial plan for Zi-O's story would have Woz staging the whole battle and basically taking that role, although the movie turned him into a follower of SOUGO so he could still turn into a good guy at the end. So, although not quite matching it, Over Quartzer's plot is something originally intended for the show that got turned into a movie. Not some bullshit they're pulling out of nowhere.
I'm still seeing Japanese people complaining about the SHF Amazingummy on X to this day. They're really upset about it.
>>23842034Back-On is capable of doing far, far better than this.

Lord Three is the Mog Nightmare, representing the fear of a young rizzler framemogging you and making your cortisol spike in front of a group of foids.
>>23842235I'm surprised Redol hasn't made an animation about Blade and an ostrich fighting
>>23842238this fr fr
>>23842066>>23842068I'm confused as to what he means, so My-Th isn't zodiac themed? Is he zodiac themed but this is referencing what Pumpkin said earlier about My-Th having a really futuristic gun? J-Hero has been wrong most of the time like he repeatedly said that Glotta was going to Vram and every single Gavan leak of his was wrong yet he also was the first person to draw the Gozyugers and Vram so I really don't get what's up with J-Hero
>>23842260Anon, he's just saying J-HERO is reliable. Literally no one mentioned the zodiac theme at all.
https://twitter.com/KamenRider_EN/status/20497758146911808553 days left.
>>23842268I know I'm just trying to discern what's My-Th's motif since it feels weird to get a high tech animal themed Rider since Zero-One wasn't that long ago and saying that it's weird that he's saying J-Hero is reliable when J-Hero has been more wrong than right ever since public toy catalogs started being a thing

>>23842282
>>23842284So that's where the anodized metal paint went to..
I just want another main Rider who is experimented on against his will in order to become a weapon for the evil organization. Gavv was close but not quite.
The only Kamen Rider in Zeztz without an upgrade form.
>>23842283It's growing on me in a vacuum but it's aesthetically such a leap next to the other G series suits.
>>23842277>it feels weird to get a high tech animal themed Rider since Zero-One wasn't that long agoHow would a high tech animal theme contradict the Chinese zodiac theme? Geats wasn't that long ago and were already getting multiple animal themed Riders again, why do you think Zero-One would stop them? >it's weird that he's saying J-Hero is reliable when J-Hero has been more wrong than right ever since public toy catalogs started being a thingThat's probably why he's saying only believe like 10% to 30% of what he and the other Facebook Thai leakers say.
>>23842323>How would a high tech animal theme contradict the Chinese zodiac theme? Geats wasn't that long ago and were already getting multiple animal themed Riders again, why do you think Zero-One would stop them? You're right I guess I just have trouble picturing them in my head specially the rabbit rider with long ears, really makes wonder what the story setting will be for this>That's probably why he's saying only believe like 10% to 30% of what he and the other Facebook Thai leakers say.Thank you very much, I just realized that I had read color's post wrong due to my poor reading comprehension
>>23842313You're in luck, Kamen Rider ZEZTZ™ is currently airing, simulcasting saturdays even!
>>23842329It's all good, a lot of their wordings are kinda odd because translations aren't fully accurate and they talk casually.But yeah, not to doompost, but it really feels like a repeat of Geats with the theming even if it's Chinese zodiac this time. Color keeps mixing up the animals a lot too like wolf actually being another cat and there being an owl which could actually be a rooster, it just makes things even more confusing.
they should make a Dawn V Cin and bring back the Blade actors as side characters that would be funny
>>23842354it's a prequel showing Nº1 having a group of friends (played by the other Blade actors) that all got murdered by CODE/Nightmares making him go insane.
>>23842360>Sieg-san why are you watching (us die)
>>23842378>because it's funny lol
>>23842360That would actually be kino ngl. Especially if that's what results in his 1000 year sentence.

Can't post because lemon not deleting his post yet, but chinese zodiac might be true because each animals correlating to cardinal directions. Like for example, Rat = North
>>23842512From what I've seen I'm sticking with the zodiac animal theming too. It just feels correct.
>>23842514>>23842512Neat, I always like Takebe's themes aside from Geats where it felt vague and Ninninger where it made no senseSo knowing that it's defined theme like this means I'll probably like the toys
>>23842512I didn't see lemon posting this but I saw another chinese guy that leaked king-ohger stuff mention this so it's most likely true
>>23842512>another western expansion >not using the west directionIs takebe retarded

>>23842573lemon has never been wrong, he's just crypticcolor has technically been wrong four times but really he's only been wrong once since the two of those times it was that he got the information so early that the staff changed their mind, the other time within minutes he corrected himself saying that he was actually wrongBoth of them are pretty much the most reliable tokusatsu leakers right now

>>23842598It would be cool to see one actually compare later leaks to their earlier drafts to see which elements were carried through and which were dropped
>>23842676>>23842598I remember this illustration of the left side of pic related before the Legend suit got revealed.
>>23842048While I understand the obsession with American Heroes, especially given the massive impact of the MCU, people didn't watch Rider in '71 and Gorenger in '75 because they wanted to watch Spiderman and Fantastic Four. The "multiple versions" that comics get is a huge knock against getting into them, and always has been. Skyrider, Shin, The First, I think to a certain degree those are "understandable", but I honestly do not believe there's someone saying "I hope we get a KRCU movie reboot of Blade with different actors and they all have identical low-saturation clothes!". That's just absurd. And that's not mentioning the fact that as always, Japan is ten years late to it, and don't realize the MCU is dead in the water and recutting their own movies and rehiring everyone to try to drum up hype for the new one and revitalize it since everyone got tired of it.
>>23842683Yeah personally I just want them to stick to the anniversary movies and reboots of Showa show even if I've been dissatisfied with most of the ones they've made I don't really see how a reboot of a Heisei show could work and crossover movies are usually really messy, if they really wanted to appeal to global audiences the best choices for movies would be standalone stuff like the 90s movie trilogy, we know we're at least getting an anime movie in a similar vein to those but they can do stuff like that for live-action too
>>23842689I didn't want to make my post longer, but I do believe that Shin/ZO/J approach is the way, using what they know now. We've had fun crossovers before, Sentai crossover movies were usually good fun also, and both had good attendance and sales. I don't understand the "we need to do Avengers" mindset. They did it better before the MCU was even a thing, they were pioneers. If they want to bring back those crossovers, they first need to get people actually watching the shows that ARE good and beloved in Japan, not reboot them and do something nobody asked for. Movie/special-only riders like they've experimented with Outsiders and Girls Remix specials are also an option, though I've watched neither so I don't know if those were any good or bad, but I mostly saw positive things about Outsiders from these threads.
>>23842676I remember these leaked drawing before the form got delayed but I cannot find the really rough drawing of Buffa Plosion based on descriptions
>>23841426was busy as fuck but just saw this. in terms of merch geats has some of the easiest to find clothing (aside from using proxies because then you can probably find whatever you want). I have a black white and red dgp hoodie
>>23842683The idea of "multiple versions" is actually baked way more into Toku's blood than American comics, just by virtue of swapping out the cast.Asking, "Who's your favorite Rider?" is already a question, you don't need to ask, "Oh but which VERSION of that Rider is your favorite?" The current seasonal model is basically perfect.Didn't Tsurubaya try to do some "alternate continuity Ultraman" shows for a little bit but nowadays they have scrapped the idea and they more opt for sort of "spiritual reimaginings?" Like they have Trigger which marketed itself on being a "modern take on Tiga" but didn't make itself "Ultraman Tiga (2021)"
>>23842730Yeah. There are like four or five different versions of Hongo Takeshi. I don't really know if the version played by Fujioka's kid is supposed to actually be the younger version of TV Hongo, or just an alternate timeline version. I think most Showa Riders in general have manga versions whose personalities and stories deviate to varying extents from the TV shows. I feel like they're just gonna keep reinventing Hongo every few years and just have that be a thing. Maybe once every twenty-ish years, they'll make another AU Hongo movie.
>>23842743>I don't really know if the version played by Fujioka's kid is supposed to actually be the younger version of TV Hongo, or just an alternate timeline version. It's supposed to be the same guy, and not even younger because Hongo isn't Kamen Rider until the first episode of the OG show, Beyond Generations has time travel and flashbacks to the past but it doesn't delve into A.U. bullshit.
>>23842683> Japan is ten years late to it, and don't realize the MCU is dead in the waterIt’s dead because of how the last two phases have been handled not the general public getting tired of it. Retards have crying about “superhero fatigue” for decades it doesn’t mean anything. >>23842704> Sentai crossover movies were usually good fun also, and both had good attendance and salesThey flopped and stopped having normal theatre releases. The Movie War series was also sacrificed for a similar reason > I don't understand the "we need to do Avengers" mindset.You shouldn’t take what Shirakura says at face value, he’s a bit senile.>They did it betterNo they didn’t lmao>before the MCU was even a thing, they were pioneers.Not exactly. The main thing with the MCU is how almost everything connects and is planned like how all the Phase 1 movies have some sort of thing that leads into the Avengers and future films. It’s also makes them kind of fun to go back and rewatch. Showa Rider crossovers were more like “x stands next to x and fights a few enemies” > but I mostly saw positive things about Outsiders from these threads.For the first few episodes until it turned into Takahashi jerking himself off. The entire thing being stretched out over two years is fucking retarded.
>>23842105any higher quality scan for Trinity Gill Agito?
https://tieba.baidu.com/p/10680068043More Agito-related posting.
>>23842853I've seen alot of nips upset over not shoichi not being the MC
>>23842862I mean from a production standpoint I get it, it was Hikawa's actor who came up with the idea of making a movie and he's the most famous actor of the cast so he's the one that works the best for the goal of global expansion, it also makes sense to have Shoichi start from scratch powerwise if the movie is focused on Hikawa so that Shoichi doesn't still the spotlight On the other hand, why call the movie Agito rather than G-System if they were going to drop the Kamen Rider moniker for the movie anyway and why have Mana be a divorcee with a rando? Also I get that Inoue doesn't give a fuck but Jesus he could have at least given some form of setup to revive Kino, it shouldn't have been that hard the seed has magical powers and he led the other group of psychics so it would kinda make sense to have new psychics who were family members of the Akatsuki passengers revive him, but just giving 0 explanation and this being the third time in a row where an anniversary Rider movie does this isn't a good look
>>23842853You'll still watch it.
>>23842875At least there's only Kiva and maybe Decade leftI liked the 555 movie and the short Donbrothers one unlike his Ichigo/Ghost movie so I want to believe I'll like the Agito movie despite the spoilers making it seem a mixed bag
It seems the Zeztz google doc is missing episode 30 of Zeztz and episode 30 and 10 of Agent Minami
>>23842048This interview confuses me because I thought Chronicle was only for anniversary sequels while Premium was the one focused on rebootsI assumed that the yet to be revealed Premium movie for 2028 was Shin Kamen Rider 2
>>23842883Premium is supposed to be all original projects, not reboots.
Since the /toy/ toku thread die, I'll post it here.https://x.com/mini4crazy/status/2049843077138059645>Early on, when developing the #SHFiguarts line, the main goal was to make the figures “slim and thin.”>They were made thinner to keep costs down, but over time they became bulkier, and around the point when they started promoting the “Shinkocchou Seihou” (true bone carving method), costs began to rise.>Since production has continued in China all this time, the prices ended up becoming ridiculously high.>On top of that, Bandai has long excluded hardcore fans (otaku) during recruitment, which has led to a workforce of mostly average employees and a significant decline in product development capabilities—so it’s hard to see any bright prospects for the future.Fucking Bandai is purposely hiring people who don't care. This was posted by a former PLEX designer and has worked in toy development with Bandai, one of them being the SHF line.
>>23842797>Showa Rider crossovers were more like “x stands next to x and fights a few enemies” Well, Showa Rider crossovers didn't have cliffhangers for future appearances, but they were often tied to big moments from the series, so they were really more than old heroes appearing for fights. The issue was more that even back then there were a lot of staff members that wanted more standalone series so their usage was very inconsistent.Most notably the staff choosing to let Rider stop with Super-1 again over trying crossovers after the commercial success Skyrider had with crossovers.
>>23842874It's really obvious that Inoue can't deal with limited runtimes. He's someone who, at minimum, needs twelve episodes, ideally more, in order to do what he needs to do.
>>23842912I think it's perfectly rational to not want an "inmates running the asylum" situation like what's been plaguing American comics for the past fifty years.
>>23842912>Fucking Bandai is purposely hiring people who don't care.anon do you seriously think people who work in factories have a say in this shit. "Average workforce" isn't some willy wonka lab setting. Also this guy >>23842958
>>23842977Who is talking about the chinese factory workers right now, this is the TOY DESIGNERS he's talking about.
Hyperfans should only be allowed to work in specialty stuff like S.I.C. Stuff that's meant to be sold in limited quantities for exorbitant prices that can only be appreciated by hardcore fans and collectors. What Bandai probably doesn't want is an overly passionate fan constantly whining at his superiors about the lack of budget stifling his creative freedom.
>>23842993>the every day toys that make up the majority of the revenue should be designed by people who don't give a shit if they toys they design are succesful
>>23843009A fan is more likely to become disillusioned and quit after dealing with the restrictions for too long. Fundamentally, toys need to be sold relatively cheaply. This means keeping costs down and that means most of the ideas that a passionate fan may have will get shot down.
https://twitter.com/tokushoutsu/status/2049968754709409814"Your bad dream is coming true!"
>>23842159Fuwa quit but Aruto is fair game, he is just super expensive. On the other hand we could focus on the vice prez
Decade 20th/25th, but Onodera Yusuke, Natsumi, or Narutaki is the main character instead of Tsukasa.
>>23843025And then Tsukasa comes back just to get humiliated and job again.
>>23843009A fan is far better suited to be a producer, you do realize that producers are still involved with the toy designs right? I'd say what Bandai needs is some newblood that aknowledges the competition to at least be able to make more than one tokusatsu franchise but aside from the QA which are a general thing for Bandai excluding Gundam toys which have been unaffected, I'd say DX Rider toys are usually really great which is why this franchise is so profitable, only Zeztz I'd say have weak toys. But for high end figures with low playability like S.H. Figuarts it's far better to hire systematic people that aren't fans.That made me wonder, which staff members in Rider are actual hardcore fans besides Sho Aikawa (Blade's second half writer)? I know Junko Komura is a hardcore Sentai fan, Yasuko Kobayashi became a writer due to Metal Heroes and she got a job at Toei because she would mail fanfiction of Winspector to their offices and producer Nagafumi Hori thought it was so high quality that he said he'd hire her immediately if she gets formal education as a writer which he indeed did after Kobayashi graduated. But I don't know which producer or writer are an actual hardcore Kamen Rider fan.
>>23843031MinatoP is openly a huge toku superfan and pushed for insert songs to come back because of early Heisei era EDs. The issue is he's very spineless.MochizukiP is a pretty big nerd too.
>>23843031IIRC writer Shoji Yonemura is a hardcore tokusatsu fan and Gozyuger's producer Daigo Matsuura is a hardcore fan of everything /m/
>>23842874I still don't get the thought process of doing an Agito anniversary and having him be a side character. I get having a big name on it but people aren't going into this wanting a G3 movie. It's just an odd way to handle an anniversary. Maybe Sentai had the right idea making thier Anniversary just feel like another episode >>23842879If he gets Decade again then they might put him on the Zi-O one too.>>23843025I have a theory that it's going to end up being tied to the Zi-O movie and just be an even worse DvZ
>>23843031Kobayashi's backstory is kinda inspiring She apparently originally wanted to be a track runner but couldn't due to poor health, then she wanted to be a musician but her skills didn't improve and had to quitShe ultimately gave up on her dreams and just worked as a depressed office worker for 3 years until she was so bored that she caught an episode of Winspector which brought her to tearsShe had originally just dismissed tokusatsu as a nonsense entertainment for little boys but she was so touched that she sent fan scenarios for the show to TV-Asahi and instead of just being dismissed she was recommended to an university and immediately got a job as an assistant writer at ToeiConsidering her origins I'm glad that she's one of the most successful toku writers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku58NfGR50MZeztz in Latam Spanish Ver. 2 or Ver. HENSHIN.quick summary: social media was whining about how they translated Henshin as 'Cambio', which is 100% valid since henshin is not a code word or a spell. so they decided to make this little change as an experiment and to appease those morons.having said that, they also seemingly did a clean up on the audio mixing compared to Ver.1 AND and this is actually an understandable change. they decided to redub all the 'japanese sub' lines from Zero and Baku. instead of speaking in spanish, they are speaking on english now like in the actual show. which makes sense since Baku can only speak in english on his dreams.on one hand, its kinda idiotic to waver at the retards in social media, but on the other, the fact they wanted to do more and even improve on the shows overall localization for the rest of the series is legit commendable.

Visual clip post attempt.
>>23843065Shout has nothing on these guys.
>>23843075>no other Riders but ZeztzThey aren't even hiding it at this point.
Non-Japanese fans' obsession with "henshin" will always be funny to me.
>>23843065The fans are right, you are wrong. Go transmorb back to wherever you came from.
>>23843072>no Nox and DawnI'm glad that they're acknowledging they aren't heroes>>23843065That's really cool that the staff really cares, as a latinamerican really hope Kamen Rider becomes popular in latinamerica, but not too popular since I've met a considerable amount weekly shonen jump fans that are annoying
>>23843065To be fair, I get the idea of some words and phrases being ingrained into a franchise that fans want to maintain them. It's like translating "It's Morphin' Time" as "Henshin". It's correct, but fans would prefer the original.
>>23842990still disagree that "otakus" being hired is a good thingreminder that """gamers""" might "know a lot" but when it's actually time to show their hands in actual work, they collapse
>>23843081>hidingHiding what?
>>23843086Black was popular in Latin America, right?
>>23843077the only thing they should work on is.>to sub the english dialog for the younger kids who dont know english. they can edit the existing subs. specially since the characters speaking english is an integral part of the show.>if they are gonna put henshin, maybe they should put 'cambio' o 'transformacion' as a sub.
Those who drink Oronamin C too much will learn again the darkness within.
>>23843087>>23843065it feels more like modern fans than the old ones where henshin was actually translatedit sucks that nowadays they dub henshin as henshin rather than the vintage "Rider Change"
>>23843025Tsukasa's actor is easier to get back than any of those three.
>>23843094Brazil. we in LatAm only had DK and Masked RiDURR. i do know some classic shows were aired in LatAm prior to the Power rangers era too but hell if i have ever seen them...
>>23843031>which staff members in Rider are actual hardcore fans besides Sho Aikawa (Blade's second half writer)?Shirakura.
>>23843094At least where I'm from we only got Masked Rider and Dragon Knight, the only japanese toku I got to watch dub of was Ryukendo
>>23843092The fact that Baku/Zeztz is the only character that matters to them.
>>23843075I've actually had Oronamin C. It's not terrible. Kind of tastes like a watered down orange soda or one of those Vitamin C "immune booster" drinks without the chalkiness.
>>23842912>>11773807> and a significant decline in product development capabilitiesHow? They’ve been pretty experimental with Rider figs for a few years now. Off the top of my head, incorporating Geats’s revolve change gimmick, starting to make more civilian figures, introducing LED heads to SHFSS, etc
>>23843110That's not what the CM is representing, it's representing that he's the only true hero in the showBut also the head producer Yanaka has never tried to hide that his main focus for the show is Baku, he has repeteadly said so even before the show started airing, he even admitted that Nox was just created "to have a main villain in the first half that doesn't focus on story" rather than with an actual story purpose, if he didn't have to think about toy sales he legitimately would have had Baku be the one Rider and not have any sort of gimmick>>23843105Wasn't he originally a hardcore fan of Super Sentai and Metal Heroes but not Rider? The way I remember it is that he was a programmer that got hired to make Toei's website then got hired again to work on A FMV 3DO game that Toei was recording the live action scenes for, the he pushed to be an assistant producer for Sentai and they obliged
>>23843114I think he's referring to the QA stuff and Sentai but the former isn't their fault at all but rather their chinese factoriesKamen Rider pretty much has seen constant financial stability since Den-O precisely because their toys are good, I really don't get why the same team is so bad at making Sentai toys but that isn't really for this thread
>>23843065>actually listens to their own marketI wish more companies were like this I've seen several cases these past few years where even for the most minor things companies belittle their audience instead of listing
>>23843121I think Sentai robots have been declining in popularity.
>>23843065>>23843083For branding purposes, I think turning "Henshin" into a term associated with Rider isn't such a nonsensical idea, we have the "HENSHIN by Kamen Rider" apparel brand, "THE HENSHIN" CSM event and "HENSHIN" in English letters being used as one of the keywords for the Eins makeup promo campaign.
>>23843114>introducing LED heads to SHFSSIt wasn't LED and the light piping they added was shit on Ryuki. Light piping requires an actual pipe as per the name. They couldn't even add an actual full clear plastic pipe that connects the collector the diffuser. I don't have my Agito yet, so maybe they added actual light piping to that then, but the one on Ryuki sucks.
>>23843125Yeah but it's not because the designs are bad it's because the toys are bad, only the Don Brothers' one was popularAside from Yokai Watch and the weak string of shows from Ninninger to Ryusoulger hampering their reputation the main reason Sentai had 11 years in a row of financial losses that led to the franchise dying is because their toys are legitimately bad when you compare them to their competitionI just find it insane that they failed to innovate when the very same team designs Kamen Rider toys which are on a general level really solid toys
>meteor strikes japan>somehow small casualty/impact
>>23843120Shirakura openly hated on Black RX before he joined Toei.
>>23843131also as it turns out apparently power ranger sales were actually propping them upas for mecha you practically answered it - feels like they're good at designing roleplay toys like the transformation devices but not the mecha. their kamen rider equivalents are also bad after all.
>>23843120Yanaka's a retard.
The lesson for today is to always hide your power level.
>>23843132The impact in question
>>23843133I'm not saying that he hated Kamen Rider just that he wasn't a hardcore fan that had watched every season unlike the Metal Heroes and Sentai, I think he had only watched the original and V3 but didn't keep up with the next 3 due to the whole channel swapping stuff
>>23843075>Wolf againWhy are they so obsessed with that Nightmare?
>>23843141I was mostly talking with Worm
>>23843135>apparently power ranger sales were actually propping them upYeah they were, specially in the 90s and Timeranger where the toys didn't sell that well, but from Gaoranger to ToQger they were earning enough money to support themselves without Power Rangers, iirc the reason why Shinkenger has visible kanji was because they thought Power Rangers was going to end so they stopped giving a fuck and made designs that appealed more to Japan like how they usually did with Rider
>>23843113that's literally what oranamin c is
>>23843075Our true second rider.
>>23842034One of the worst final form themes ever.
>>23843149Not much better than the actual one.
>>23843144He cool, especially as Wolfgang.
>>23843147>but from Gaoranger to ToQger they were earning enough money to support themselves without Power RangersGaoranger to Shinkenger had power rangers airing on the other side, then it got back again to ToQger, and there was another since Gokaiger. Not saying that those Sentai were doing poorly mind you, but especially after Gokaiger, there was an "opposite series" to provide financial boost in the earnings.Also the Shinkenger design is the usual unfounded rumor.
>>23843155Even after receiving a power-up he was still a jobber.
>>23843155should've turned him into a rider
So I'm 25 eps into Geats and uh, Buffa's just hallucinating his friend to justify his shitty attitude and manslaughter right? At least that's what it feels like so far.
>>23843156>Also the Shinkenger design is the usual unfounded rumor.It actually wasn't: https://dic.pixiv.net/a/%E4%BE%8D%E6%88%A6%E9%9A%8A%E3%82%B7%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B1%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B8%E3%83%A3%E3%83%BC>2009年2月から放送されたスーパー戦隊シリーズの第33作。これまで和風戦隊はいずれも忍者だったが、今回は戦隊で初の「侍」をテーマに、殿様と家臣が書道による「文字の力」でヒーローに変身するという作風になっている(当時は『パワーレンジャー』シリーズ打ち切りの恐れがあり、海外展開を意識しない設定ができたとも言える)。宇都宮孝明が初のチーフプロデューサーに起用され、メインライターを小林靖子が担当し、2人は後に『烈車戦隊トッキュウジャー』でもコンビを組むこととなる。松坂桃李の俳優デビュー作としても知られている。What was an unfounded rumor is the whole "Super Sentai designs were made to appeal to Power Rangers" since the only time that actually happened was Kakuranger which they didn't end up using anyway so after that they just did whatever they wanted but they were still conscious to avoid using text until ShinkengerAs to everything else yeah the Power Rangers sales a lot but them losing Power Rangers money wasn't the main reason Sentai died but rather the weak toys and you're also right that it's probably that they're good with roleplay toys but not mecha, I guess they would need to do what they did with Gunpla where they created a whole division to focus on just that, basically make a division that only focus on mecha and they poach some ex-Takara Tomy guys, but I assume creating a new division just for that is unrealistic since it would probably be really expensive
>>23843169No but honestly would have been a better explanation, he just acts as if he had some sort of plan to justify his actions and the rest of the cast just believes him for some reason despite Beroba implicitly explaining that he didn't have a plan
>>23843169Like, this guy is worse than Nox no? Nox did it in a dream and once people started seeing eye to eye with him that Code isn't all great he doesn't go for whacky child sacrifices. This retard is doing an ends justify the means while basically teaming up with not-kamen riders plantfuckers while wanting to get rid of all KR. And killing all the past history people/letting them die as casualty in the process.
>>23843175>No but honestly would have been a better explanationWell that's unfortunate. He's an unlikeable retard right now as the rival rider.
>>23843178What makes Buffa not work is that the whole thing that justifies his actions is that his actions were breaking up the system from within but he had no way of knowing that until Beroba told him the truth yet everyone, including himself, acts as if he was always planning to do this all along. He's basically this show's equivalent of Thouser as a character whose actions make everyone else in the cast seem retarded.
>>23842853Why do they like giant monsters in rider anyway? Why not just make another kaijin suit as the final boss?
>>23842676I remember these Ex-Aid prototypes, wish we could have seen what Prot Muteki actually looked like instead of just his shadow
>>23843186I guess because they want to make fights feel large scale but aren't willing to spend the time to make something like the Spider Woman or Doras from ZO
>>23843169No, he thinks all of that is justified as long as he gets to have his wish and fulfill his goal.>>23843181You haven't seen the true depths of his evil yet.
>>23843179Our heroes... and Sieg
>>23843198Yeah as I kept watching I realized the friend is real and just back as a jyamato plantfucker. Maybe tampered memories, dunno on ep 26. Just my biggest complaint halfway through Geats. >You haven't seen the true depths of his evil yet.It's not even a good 'ends' that would justify the means lmao
>>23843193I would like to see another villain that's KR Arc sized instead of the size of a building where the heroes can't really do anything about. Or maybe a big kaijin suit that's big like Ex-aid lv99.
>>23843202I really hate Kaito because not only does he disrupt Decade's thin as shit plot, he pulls garbage like this>Skull rather than Eternal
>>23843204I mean, Den-o's Diend movie came out a couple months before W's summer movie.
>>23843202I'm surprised they've never tried making something like Arc again
>>23843204What that >>23843208 Anon said.
>>23843212There's always potential if they do a Kiva anniversary hehe
>>23843215would have been a good preview stillwhy not daguva rider edition or nega-den-o/gaoh
>>23843220Because Skull is cool and we got to see him do a rider kick with everyone
>>23843178>Nox did it in a dreamThe whole first half is a premonition of what would've originally happened if Baku hadn't received said premonition. Nox was completely willing to do all those atrocities and that is what would've originally happened if not for Baku and Sieg's intervention changing the course of events.>once people started seeing eye to eye with him that Code isn't all great he doesn't go for whacky child sacrificesBaku literally needed a whole ass premonitory dream to learn that because Nox was being way too obtuse about it while committing crimes that made him look worse than CODE itself. And even now, the main reason why he's not harming innocents is because Baku told him to not do it and proceeded to wake him up from his coma, so he's basically just refraining from it out of gratitude towards Baku but he's still aiding in The Lady's crazy plan regardless.He technically has no blood on his hands now (and even that is debatable since people have reportedly died to Black Cases/Nightmares before the events of the show), but it's not like he isn't willing to and his redemption is just as forced as Michinaga's.
>>23843220Because W is the newest season and they weren't going to ruin Eternal's appearance in the upcoming movie for a brief preview cameo.
speaking of figuarts shitapparently a sticking objective reason is that they're putting less accessories and other stuff in it

>>23843220why not daguva rider edition>nega-den-oThe suit doesn't exist. It was just stickers on a spare sword form with color changing effects on the lighting.>gaohIt was modified into the Yuuki forms from Final Countdown. Now, why they didn't just use Yuuki I don't know.
>>23843220It's from a Den-O movie so maybe they avoid Den-O related character to be part of Diend Complete.
>>23843240Gaoh really is one of those throwaway riders huh? Hell even the additional Hibiki riders. Like do people even care about Kabuki?
>>23843242Kabuki was the first rider Diend summoned, so yea
>>23843244I get that. I mean do people or toei even care about all those extra riders before W? I feel like it's only since that show where they actually made a point to make them "not throwaway".Though I guess there was that one movie rider in OOO. Arc I think? The one made of fire.
>>23843249Well they kept the suit. The Diend card was Gekijoban, so of course they'd use the previous decade movie riders.
>>23843249>Arc I think? The one made of fireKamen Rider Core. It appeared a lot in games for some reason.
>>23843250ah you misunderstood, I'm not talking about the special. I meant the movie riders in general. Like since W they're at least a bit more on the "we'll take note of their existence and keep them close" tier for toei rather than say, "lmao we'll send these three rando kabutomushi riders at you and never talk about them">>23843253Ahh Core, yeah him. I guess he makes for a good video game enemy.

>>23842797>last two phases have been handled not the general public getting tired of itThe mishandling is what led to audiences being tired of it. Both are true.>They flopped and stopped having normal theatre releases. At the same time the franchise had bad entries. Perfectly reasonable for the flop season to have a flop movie and a flop crossover. Movie War also suffered from staff decisions bungling it.>Showa Rider crossovers were more like “x stands next to x and fights a few enemies” V3's existence is continuing from the original. V3 himself appears in X for about half of the episodes. Skyrider was their attempt at more concisely tying everything up, though that was a desperation move to draw audiences back in. They were already doing that stuff.>until it turned into Takahashi jerking himself off. I'm not surprised. That sounds like a pain in the ass.

I'm guessing the idea that Nightmares are the source of all evil and disasters is just a misunderstanding. This show is unlikely to end with all nightmares disappearing, after all. I think what's really gonna happen is that ancient humans just wanted a scapegoat, something to blame all their faults on. It's not THEIR fault they do wrong, it's the nightmares. By blaming nightmares for everything, the gave them power and form, resulting in the capital N Nightmares. And humanity's efforts to eliminate Nightmares only makes them stronger and stronger. It's Code's fault that Nightmares have gotten to the point where they're on the verge of an apocalypse scenario.That's my theory.
>>23843478Anymore you wanna tell us? Nightmare-san
>>23843483I hate clever brats like you.
>>23843478>ancient humansThis isn't geats, dumbo
>>23843489The Nightmare problem has been plaguing humanity since its dawn.
>>23843492Perhaps humans ought to face their sins.
So why did Korenosuke choose Aruto as his successor? Obviously, nepotism is a factor, but it sounds like he and Aruto had no relationship to speak of. How did he know Aruto wouldn't completely fuck everything up? Was the decision purely to keep the matter tied to the bloodline?
Any explaination why the belt is designed as a sash? Other than being the heart or something...
>>23843478But most people don't know Nightmares even exist.
>>23843496Heart seems to be a factor. That said, I'm surprised Baku's immediate instinct was to wear it on his chest. I feel like the natural assumption would be to try it around the waist first.I wonder if he'll feel awkward in the next major crossover.
>>23843498Research into Nightmares began in antiquity. Why do you think The Lady has an ancient tome in her room? Did you think it was just decoration?
>>23843499>I'm surprised Baku's immediate instinct was to wear it on his chest. I feel like the natural assumption would be to try it around the waist first.Conditioning from his childhood, like everything else.
>>23842035trinity need better weapon which match with the gils roughness
>>23843496The designers randomly decided to do it and thought it looked cool.
>>23843502>Now students, if you ever find yourself with a high tech belt-like apparatus, make sure to wear it like a sash. This is very important.
>>23843504>designer decided to have it like that when the belt is not some asymmetry abominationsFuck them
>>23843500But that doesn't change the fact that most of humanity does not know Nightmares exist and thus don't blame them for their misfortunes.
>>23843499His first on-screen transformation in the Gavv movie has him tease the audience by making it look like he's gonna put it in his waist before he quickly moves it to his chest.
Do you think they didn't include Nox and Dawn cause thay are antagonistic or cause of their actors age?
Has anyone here bought those blind box packs from Nin-Nin Game? I’m thinking about buying the Zeztz one since it comes with all of his forms but I don’t wanna get screwed over because it’s a random assortment.
>>23843527It's like Candy Toy, you buy a Box, you have the full assortment
>>23843478Does that even change anything? Nightmares are pretty much already established to be a product of the human mind. In fact, your theory makes it possible for the heroes to find a safe way to wipe the Nightmares out, since they'd just have to tell the few people that know about them that they're not the actual cause of human suffering. Whereas them simply existing as long as human minds do means they will never be completely eradicated without some extreme methods.

All Kamen Riders are illegal motorcyclists. None of their machines have license plates. So every single one of them is violating the law.

>>23843934He was the one who revealed in a teary eyes conference rather than the his ex-wife (TimePink) filing a complaint so it seems like it's trueHe then quit as an actor and opened his own restaurant, he also hired another canceled actor of Super Sentai as one of the cooks there
some fan film: https://youtu.be/FqS4ChTlA4M
>>23843936His restaurant is doing really well. Also while his ex-wife never filed a complaint he didn't reveal it randomly he came out with it after another unrelated woman accused him of beating her and stealing money, he then admitted beating TimePink after that but as far as I'm aware there's 0 evidence to him stealing money
>>23843964Forgot image
>plays a thief>is a thief IRL
>>23843971What happened now?I remember him asking for money due to his mom's illness and not repaying on timeStill the actor is really retarded for putting legacy first over his family's health he completely screwed himself

Every power Geats got was a hand-me-down from his mom and the whole show is about finding his mom. This series was just a chosen one mama's boy story it's so funny. LaserBoost was the only non-mama one still handed to him and it just stabilized his Mk2. This the nepo baby show for people who want to self-insert into an aura farming op character like solo leveling? Also the series basically ended at episode 38. The DGP were already undermined and turned into jobbers by Beroba but after GeatsIX came out the DGP became team rocket tier. Basically every antagonist party is trying to cause trouble around Ace and hitting the secondary riders because Ace is too op and they can't face him head on. And on the writer's side, they rush to conclude every side character's arc.Overall 6/10. The battle royale aspect got undermined too early which lead to these dumb last 11 episodes. Buffa basically forgot how to speak after killing Keiwa's sister accidentally but I have a feeling that's just producers forcing drama so they turned everyone involved in this scenario dumb, including Ace for leaving Tsumuri on her own. He just said fuck it let the DGP obtain the one thing they want or else there is no story to be told for 11 episodes. At least Kekera was funny to the end however twisted he may be.
So is there a reason for why Kino is alive again or is it just "somehow Kino returned?" Also kind of a shitty move to make him the main villain when his character arc in the show was him getting over his messiah complex and he was fairly heroic (if gruff) in Goriders.
>>23844025>This the nepo baby show for people who want to self-insert into an aura farming op character like solo leveling?Yeah. One look at the audience and you can tell it's the same people.>Also the series basically ended at episode 38. I would say it ended before that. Nothing really happens from the middle of Q2 onwards, just spinning their wheels to drag it on, and then quickly close character arcs with 1-2 episodes before spinning their wheels again for the last 11 episodes.
>>23844025Ace is very much a Marry throughout the show. He barely loses and when he does it's magically some 4D chess shit he set up centuries before. The DGP are fucking terrible as a villain group. The whole belt getting stolen shit still makes no sense when it's shown they have the power to just turn it off but for some fucking reason it doesn't come up. Even thier big plan is shit, it's literally them just rebooting the world to normal and going him. >Buffa basically forgot how to speakHis whole redemption arc was fucking forced. He did nothing to earn it and for some fucking reason he got more shit for killing Keiwa's sister then the innocent people he killed like 5 episodes before that.>I have a feeling that's just producers forcing dramaIirc, Kewia sisters death was supposed to be set up early leading him to becoming the main villain at the end. But for some reason both his and Neon's storyline kept being pushed back so they ended up rushing them at the end.
>>23844117It really did start slowing down when the whole battle royale aspect got abandoned. But eh Ace was winning every single one of them anyways because he always had a plan within a plan within a plan. So there was never any tension. Probably should've had Keiwa's arc during one of the DGPs instead of cramming it alongside Na-Go's and Buffa's heel turn in the last 11 eps.>>23844121>Iirc, Kewia sisters death was supposed to be set up early leading him to becoming the main villain at the end. But for some reason both his and Neon's storyline kept being pushed back so they ended up rushing them at the end.Zzz everything got crammed into the last 10 episodes which made the middle meandering so boring and the ending super rushed.
>>23844004Why not cast a new user for the Diendriver? It would be fitting if a thief's henshin device was "stolen" by a new guy
They should bring back Mezool but make her monster forms thighs 20x thicker. Then make her wrestle aquarius in mud, and then spray eachother down with their water powers.
>>23844028>So is there a reason for why Kino is alive again or is it just "somehow Kino returned?"Apparently the latter.>Also kind of a shitty move to make him the main villain when his character arc in the show was him getting over his messiah complex and he was fairly heroic (if gruff) in Goriders.Inoue said that if he ever wrote an Agito sequel, he would bring Kino back just to abuse him by making him the final boss.
>>23844140Zeztz truly is Reiwa Ghost.
>>23844206in what way
>>23844131Makes sense why C21 has the Diendriver.
>>23844209They're both the 6th rider and have an eye motifI'm surprised that the eye isn't a homage due to Ghost's anniversary, same with Saber 3 item gimmick also being a coincidence instead of being a homage to OOO
>>238442197th rider*
>>23844219Zeztz has an eye motif?
>>23844249Yeah the belt is an eye that's waking up
>>23844209Repetitive opening narrations that start with "Ore wa", eye motifs, spherical gimmicks, low toy sales, glow in the dark LED suits, antagonistic Secondary and Tertiary, cats, wish girls in white, good dads, vagueposting villains, well-meaning extremist villains who seek world peace, only the final form can truly destroy the kaijin, final form gimmick is that it can use all weapons, Mugen coincidentally debuted in a dream world arc, vague ambitious settings, inconsistencies in the writing, the Ghost Driver has an "Oyasumi" callout, Zeztz's transformation sequences look like the one from Ghost's cameo in the Drive movie
Why did the Fangire King need the Dark Kiva armor when he was statistically stronger without it?
>>23844258To show off, it's an aristocracy thing
>>23844251So to get to ExDream Baku is going to use drugs?
>>23844261No just scream WAKE UP way harder when henshin to remain awake>>23844258It's been over 10 years since I watched Kiva but weren't his powers incomplete preventing him to use his full fangire powers at first?
>>23844254The Tertiary Rider doesn't use a belt to transform.
>>23843635Will this be the first time the gang is seeing him as Baku transform?
>>23844258Mostly to show off, but Dark Kiva did give him the ability to seal and capture the Arms Monsters.>>23844262>weren't his powers incomplete preventing him to use his full fangire powers at first?No, I think you're confusing it with the plotline in which Bishop gathered Fangire souls to resurrect and power him up.
>>23844265Minami technically saw him transform in her dream.
>>23844266Yeah I mixed those storylines up, thanks
>>23844262Not the previous King, Taiga's dad. First and second generation Kiva armors had design flaws in that they were unstable and could potentially kill the user if they're not careful. Obviously, it's fatal for humans, but even fullblooded Fangires put themselves at risk. So it's weird that the former King used the Dark Kiva armor when he's stronger without it.The third generation armor, the one Wataru uses, attempts to address the design flaw by limiting Kiva's power. The "normal" Kiva is actually a sealed state, granting the highest degree of power with the lowest possible state, hence the chains. Tatsulot is a key that unlocks Kiva's true state, which is still weaker than Dark Kiva in exchange for greater stability.
>>23844219There is no eye motif desu.
>>23844282Whatever helps you sleep at night.
>>23844130>everything got crammed into the last 10That's the biggest issue of the last arc. They wasted so much time during the Jyamato Prix bullshit which was supposed to be used to build up Kewia's downfall and villain turn. Instead we got a shitty arc and the main plot just ends up being resolved during Geats IX debut so the last 10 episodes feel like extra filler
>>23844275>First and second generation Kiva armorsDark Kiva was the first Kiva armor, there was no Kiva armor before it.
>>23844301Each Kivat forms a separate armor. Kivat Bat II formed the second armor set. Kivat I is presumed deceased.
Will it be a controversial opinion to say that Agito's fight scenes are kinda weak?
>>23844306No, they don't. Official sources say that the Kiva armors were crafted by the Fangires themselves, and the Kivats are a natural species not created by them. Dark Kiva was the second armor the Fangires crafted for their Kings, after Saga.
>>23844315Not really aside from the really cool vehicular combat, despite Heisei on average having the best writing and themes in the franchise it also has the worst action, only the two Takatera shows and Wizard have really strong actionThat isn't to say the action is bad since most of the suit actors in Rider are overtly competent probably most evident with Kabuto or Den-O but it's definitely a step down over Showa and it's one of the few things that drastically improved with Reiwa
>>23844324I dunno if I agree that Wizard's action is top tier. I personally got more enjoyment out of watching Decade mercilessly cutting enemies to death than watching Wizard flail at Ghouls for five minutes.
Ideal scenario staff:>Head Producer: Hideaki Tsukada>Vice Producers: Takahito Omori, Taku Mochizuki>Pilot Director: Kazuya Kamihoriuchi>Head Action Director: Satoshi Fujita>Head Writer: Yasuko Kobayashi>Music Composer: Kouichirou KameyamaWorst case scenario staff:>Head Producer: Shinya Maruyama >Vice Producers: Yousuke Minato, Yoshito Kuji >Pilot Director: Masaya Kakehi>Head Action Director: Takeshi Miyazaki >Head Writer: Hanta Kinoshita>Music Composer: Shuhei Naruse Obviously both combinations of staffs are never going to happen but is this about right? Also this made realize that every music composer Toei has ever hired are great I just put Naruse in the worst case scenario because his Instrumental tracks are weaker than everyone else but they aren't bad and he makes up for it with top-tier insert songs
>>23844351Minato and Kuji are good vice producers.
>>23844351Replace Kameyama with Kotaro Nakagawa, Kuji with Takebe and Naruse with Goro YasukawaAlso I feel there are worse vice producers than Minato but can't remember hell he isn't even bad as a vp just pretty standard
>>23844351No replace Kinoshita with either Inoues. The revisionism towards early Revice needs to stop
>>23844364Kinoshita's overall writing style doesn't really fit with toku, he only really works if the producer heavily limits him to make an episodic show with a horror atmosphereSo I guess he might have jived well if he's paired with Omori or Utsunomiya but those aren't happening anytime soon, with the current producers I definitely don't want to return, dude straight up ruined Mochizuki's career
>>23844364>revisionism towards early Revice needs to stopwhat are you talking about? people love the first 18 episodes of revice, the destream duel and the last episodethe problem people have is with the other 30 episodes and how the retcons make a lot of the cool stuff in the start basically pointless and even though we don't have the full picture of the production such as stuff like muteki jeanne and some rewrites in the second half are a misery we still know most of the problems are kinoshita's fault
did something happen in the toyline? also a lot of the quote posts talk about stuff like having dragredder as part of the set while not costing as much as well, but if they sell it today it would be just ryuki witrh dragredder being a separate purchase
>>23844351>Worst case scenario staff:>>Head Producer: Daigo Matsuura, who gets fired halfway through and replaced with Yousuke Minato>>Shadow Producer: Shinichiro Shirakura>>Vice Producers: Naomi Takebe, Hideaki Yanaka>>Pilot Director: Masaya Kakehi>>Head Action Director: Takeshi Miyazaki>>Head Writers: Hanta Kinoshita, Yuya Takahashi, Junko Komura and Akiko Inoue in a Magiranger/Saber/Gotchard style writer setup>>Music Composer: whoever did Blade's forgettable BGM (no one remembers what it sounds like)Ftfy
>>23844377>no one remembers what it sounds likeShit taste alertMiyake is awesome>>23844374Bandai high grade figures in general have been coming with less accessories but same price for years but recently they're having issues with the manufacturing quality in their factories
>>23844377Yanaka is a great vice producer though? Look at Build and the dramas where he worked for Tsukada Magiranger/Saber/Ghost situation is different from the Gotchard situation but the latter would definitely be a worst case scenario
>>23844379so China issues?
>>23844384Yep and Vietnam too
>>23844381I added Yanaka mainly to ensure the show flops in terms of sales and local popularity because his ideas show he's clearly not cut out for (modern) Toku.
>>23844389I don't think vice producers get involved with toys though since it seems that the rumors of that Minato was handling the toyline ended up being untrue but I might be wrong with thatBut realistically the only scenario besides a controversy where a producer gets fired instead of demoted is if they're selling extremely poorly while going overbudget so having a producer replaced basically guarantees bad sales, and while I doubt it'll ever happen Matsuura going overbudget isn't that much of a stretch due to his love of robots, bikes and veteran actors
>>23844374This was already quote posted here >>23842912>but if they sell it today it would be just ryuki witrh dragredder being a separate purchaseThat's because Bandai has literally done that. They made a Ryuki Renewal and Dragreder is a separate release.
>>23844374Bandai has been enabled for far too long and simply know what they can get away with. Doesnt help a lot of their sales are from scalpers in recent times so they assume everyone is just okay with what they do since it keeps selling
>hojo from agito is a piece of shitI thought he'd get over his stupidity but by the end you want to smack him
>>23844402Personally I liked him as character for most of the show because in spite of being an asshole he doesn't get his way, Ozawa continuously treated him as a joke and his backstory made his attitude make senseBut then the last 5 episodes of the show has him doing his most evil stunt yet and he gets hardly any negative consequences for it, it's the same issue I had with Hibiki's Kiriya only lesser
>>23844404yeah it's mostly the last eps that made me want to strangle him
>tfw G3 doesn't share the same power source as his enemies.
>>23844374The Hell Bros got ramen, Caucasus got his blue rose, and Bravo got a glass of wine. I honestly don't remember any others.
>23844444What an absolute fucking waste
How's Figure-Rise? They seem cheap, yet the photos make them look pretty nice.
>>23844492They're model kitsThey'll be as good as the amount of effort you put into them
>>23844444Well, none of the Agito riders are, really, since Agito, Gills and Another Agito are a result of the Overlord of Light giving power to humanity while the Lords are servants of the Overlord of DarknessG3 is powered by the indomitable human spirit though
>>23844505And Hikawa's absolute bullheadedness. None of the G series suits were anywhere near as effective when anyone else was wearing them but Shouichi that one time.
>>23844505Humanity was the true evil all along.
kinda funny that kamen rider super climax heroes kinda owes dragon knight's existence to have all of ryuki's riders playable
>>23844505The Overlord of Light may or may not have been one of the Overlord of Darkness' El Lords, and even if we don't go by that interpretation, the Overlords are still definitely related to each other and Another Agito is confirmed to have El Lord genes/factor, which is why he looks Lord-esque.

Zeztz's form distribution perplexes me. Was there a schedule slip somewhere?
Orderm is my favorite design in this show so of course it gets replaced immediately. Toei just doesn't want me to be happy.
>>23844549God is this another "New Form debuts at the last minute and does nothing. Fuck you wait another week" type shit?
>>23843355Odagiri Effect isn't actually from the Japanese.
>>23844374They've been going down in quality and the last couple of Renewals have just been bad value. I used to be a somewhat avid buyfag before getting into toku and while price of figures has risen (some considerably more than others) the quality stayed the same, so it could be excused as changing times and costs.Bandai has upped the price while making the figures worse and cutting as many corners as possible. The "superior detail" they brag about on some releases is hogwash.
>>23844602>>23844549I doubt it. His belt is broken before he gets that form. It's very unlikely we'd go an entire episode without Zeztz action.
>>23844569>>23844602Seems like it at least gets to save the two Nem fans that get turned into Nightmares. But the big fight against Dawn is definitely not happening until next week.
Tsukada will force Takebe to pick Yousuke Kuroda for My-Th trust the plan
>>23844644It will actually be Takuro Fukuda due to his connection with Ultraman Max
>>23844562It's kind of a shame that they gave up on making new strap colors after Plasma. KR Nox and the Lords use the base silver color, Catastrom and Orderm use Plasma's gold, Zeztz Darkness uses Paradigm's purple (even though its LED color in the toy is different) and Exdream just uses Impact's red.
I'm watching Gavv, and I'm surprised at how dark it is. Shoma is constantly juxtaposed between his kindhearted and childish worldview and the sadness and rage whirling inside him. Even though he has the silliest motif out of all Riders, there's a sense of solemn darkness to his body language and the camera angles often used when he transforms, and the quiet resolve to put down his own family without hesitation if they refuse to stand down.
>>23844612>>23844641Fucking hate this new meme
>>23844663Yeah the producer doesn't really give a shit about kids aside from some rare instances and the head writer is a big fan of Show's darken toneAlso part of the premise was inspired by the producer seeing a documentary of the cartel kidnapping kids to work for them
>>23844669On the other hand, I kinda hate the CG. A few exceptions aside, Gavv's fight scenes are kinda ugly. Honest to god, visually, Gavv might be one of the worst shpws in the series. It's a neverending barrage of the worst CG imaginable.I like what they did with the motif, but I also hate how it encourages Toei's worst visual sins.
>>23844675Really? I found Gotchard to be more egregious with the CGI but maybe I'm just so used to the style of Gavv's action director that I don't mind as much since Gavv has some of the best fights for meBut yeah weird themes always lend themselves to weird CGI stuff which sucks
>>23844682The CGI often obfuscates to choreography. It's enfuriating.
>>23844686FYI you're not going to like Gavv's second upgrade which iirc has the most CGI out of all formsAt least it's the upgrade used the least but still
Also, Gavv's suits genuinely look kind of appetizing at times and I'm not sure I appreciate that.
>>23844692eat snacks once a week while watching
Reminder that Gavv nosedives hard after the first quarter and never recovers. The ending is one of the worst wet farts in recent memory.

>>23844726This is only amazon but I guess this means that Zeztz's sales could see a significant increase for the second half, so it might not be as sharp of a drop from Gavv's sales as initially thought

>>23844859This might be the lamest final form toy we've gotten in a long while. I thought they would give it a unique finisher with the Breakam Zeztzer since they advertised their compatibility, but it literally just shuts up and lights up while the Zeztzer plays its old finisher sound. The critter has no animation gimmick at all so it's even worse than the average Capsem. No MC voicelines at all either.

>>23844928Holy shit, just look at that profile view of his chest cause of the zeztz driver.
The fact a lot of western fans are surprised or even SHOCKED the Agito movie has more going on than some pamphlet said it does really goes to show how retarded some are.Like... WOAH, they didnt wanna spoil the entire premise of the movie? They wanted stuff to be a surprise? THAT'S CRAAZZYYYY. I swear some retards just consume media specifically through spoilery walls of texts instead of just... watching it or something.
>>23844938Well yeah, a lot of people view media secondhand now. It’s more important what the collective or an influencers opinion on a film or game is than you forming your own opinion on it. I blame it on a lack of irl social circles.
>>23844941It's the speed of social media. People want to take part into discussions of things before they stop being relevant, which happens faster and faster by the day, and spending the time needed to actually watch things detracts from that objective.
>>23844788They never really demonstrated that Agito's form changes changed his abilities. I guess they implied Storm was a little faster and Flame a little stronger but I don't remember that coming up at any point during a fight.

Never thought it could get worse than that until I then learned people weren't joking about people watching things through tiktok clips. It really explains a lot of the awful opinions I've seen popping up lately with certain media.
Quick, which one is your favorite >>23844993
Fencinganon here.Little late, but my tokuota buddies couldn't get time off to see AGITO until today.It was definitely an interesting movie.The good:>Great to see pretty much all of the actors back; even Ozawa didn't look as old as the promotional pictures made her look, and I think the best scene in the movie (where G-Unit is decommissioned) is in part down to her actress.>The G-Unit Riders got a good showing. In spite of getting dabbed on a couple times, they also got kills and showed competency and good choreography with the old G3 equipment, perhaps even more than early Hikawa.>The mystery was pretty good, with a couple of red herrings. I wasn't expecting the characters lives to be so intertwined AFTER Agito already ended, especially not Hojo.>The new Rider suits are pretty good in motion.>SHOUCHI GOT TO TRANSFORM. Even though his Rider Dysfunction stopped him from finishing (get it?) the fact that he showed up, and was THE Agito was hype.The bad:>The music was bland. I even like Orange Range, but none of the score stood out or was memorable to me. There were some leitmotifs here and there, but not even COUNT ZERO. Come on, guys.>Gill Agito suits were pretty poor, and the villains were seemingly just random weirdoes that felt designed by Kubo Tite. Date being a tranny was distractingly bad, but one of my Jap friends kept saying "he/she looked so attractive" and I have no idea what he was trying to say.>The CGI was massively overused and also, frankly, terrible. Even the G-Unit Riders riding their bikes onto the scene was CGI.>I realised that one thing that makes me wary of Rider sequels is that it feels weird for these characters to be doing the same thing after like 25 years. Shouichi had clearly progressed, but the G-Unit just can't grow up or change, they want to be in Agito episodes 1-30 forever.>No Gills
>>23845001The ugly (spoilers)>For some reason Hojo can divide into multiple Hojos now, and it wasn't explained why as far as I could tell.>I didn't catch why or how Gills died, and that bothers me. I feel like it's really important and it's just handwaved. His absence is clearly felt.>Kinou is magically alive again despite clearly dying in the show, and Gills isn't here. Kinou is the big bad for some reason; he was admittedly morally grey but now he's basically the scapegoat so the movie has a villain of consequence. Unfortunately he didn't transform into Another Agito, and instead transformed into a Decade-tier CGI dogshit monster. It was the most disappointing part of the movie after Gills' absence. It would have been a perfect chance to make "Shining Another Agito" instead of downgrading him into just Shining Gill Agito which was just a giant spider monster anyway.>The new girl is fun; my Jap friends didn't like her because they think she can't act but she was fine enough. Pretty good as G6, but felt unearned when she randomly achieved Gill Agito Trinity (as cool as the suit is)>As I feared, the story kind of undermines the work they did in Agito. Yeah they resolved the crisis since it was Kinou's doing that caused Gill Agito to start appearing but it was just so easy for him to do it.On G7:Before watching, I said that it looks good on the poster and bad in the movie.Besides the boxy feet and the opaque square eyes it looked pretty good and the drones were fun (but definitely superfluous, I was hoping they could do more than just Amazon deliver the bad guys into pillars).The sword aspect felt random. Where did Hikawa learn to properly fight with a katana? Not to mention the damn thing kept breaking anyway, so it felt like a weird addition.I guess I can believe G6 as being an easier-to-use unit so I was expecting G7 to expand on the progression.
>>23844749Maybe, but the other toys have to sell well too. Gavv fans used Gochizos selling out to defend its sales and we all know how that went.
