>>23978087Wow, I didn't know Amano-san transitioned, she probably discovered herself while playing the gyaru-esque queer-coded role of Sieg and looking at Dawn's feminine high heel-looking shoes. She's a really passing woman. Congratulations.
>>23978139that's his dear wife
>>23978170I know.
>>23978139Forgot to say, she must be so proud that so many of Sieg's fans were inspired by the character to come out as gay.
Tom and Jerry
>>23978203I need this season to start already
>>23978203They aren't even trying to pretend that any Rider beyond My-th and the cats matters.
>>23978203Rooster Geats
>>23978208Trust Arakawa, he'll make everyone matter.
>>23978208Are you OK? They're the main trio of course they'll get more focus than anyone else, that doesn't mean everyone else will get shaftedOr did you somehow expect every single Rider to get the same amount focus?
Which titular My-th suit do you like more?
>>23978222Bones
https://tieba.baidu.com/p/10933480600
>>23978226beroba my beloved
>>23978222Sora's because Origin's helmet despite being cooler just doesn't fit the rest of the suit or the esthetic of the other RidersIt also doesn't help that his torso still looks like a cat instead of a mouse
>>23978232Egglution in my pants
How many episodes before Rid switches sides?
>>23978232>no scarf design to do ichigo homage Missed opportunity
>>239782485? The trailer shows him and Tigre fighting together with My-Th so I imagine pretty early on they'll become frenemies at least then fully join Sora by the end of either the first quarter or the first half
>>239782482nd episode
>>23978251He already got those two lines on his torso that kinda feel like a homage to V3's double scarves.
I just caught up to Zeztz. I thought anons were joking when they said that this is the worst trio ever but oh my god. It’s not even the characters but functionally, I don’t wanna be a civilian in Zeztz. It’s like Baku is the only one that actually saves people. Nox is too busy mumbling about the darkness of code and Sieg is probably the reason why you’re getting attacked to begin with. With shit like Faiz at least Kusaka actually fought the MotW, you were fucked if he was your ally though.
>>23978259Yeah being a civ in Zeztz world is hell.
>>23978261>Nem is always in your dreams>But you can't dream-rape her because dream-CIA is watching>Can't even dream her nakedtrue suffering
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ze744rHoPnA&t=1206s
>>23978289not even the lady ever see nem naked
Two more Reiwa Riders to go for the 10th milestone.
>>23978313And it's gonna be another TakahashixTakebe serieslollmao even
I honestly cannot stand Zeztz anymore I feel like I've just been bored out of my fucking skull for who knows how many fucking episodes.Sieg has been okay spicing it up but in a sense that's just another problem with the show. The actively hostile, antagonistic, violent, and insane "tertiary" feels like the only fucking character in the show with "proper" motivations and a backstory. I just don't give a flying fuck about Baku and I don't even know why Nox is in this show. Actually kind of related to Sieg having an actual interesting backstory, holy fucking shit Lady was so utterly wasted this whole fucking show. Super creepy backstory and she was insane in a pretty unsettling way. Which means it was actually awesome that she just stood in a room and looked out a window for 90% of the show.Takahashi needs a long fucking break after this, it feels extra bad since I don't think any of this shows flaws are super egregious maddening fuckups (well, maybe Nox's entire existence and role) but it just feels like a bunch of completely amateurish and lazy mistakes that didn't even make some awful train wreck like Revice, we just have some boring blob.Also lastly the action has been crap for so long now I have no idea what the fuck happened.Also it's mildly annoying seeing what feels like the rest of the overseas fanbase act like this show is so cool and interesting. I have no fucking idea how anybody is watching this and feeling anything more than utter boredom at this point.
>>23978331Yeah I'm checked out of Zeztz currently I just want My-Th to start.
>>23978331>Also it's mildly annoying seeing what feels like the rest of the overseas fanbase act like this show is so cool and interesting.Really? I thought aside from people who were new to the franchise really liking it I thought the opinion in general was mixed, or at least it was that way early on.Personally it's a 7/10 since aside from Nox I'm not really overtly mad at anything and have been able to have fun for most of the show, but the story as a whole is too flawed to be an 8. But yeah I don't blame anyone from hating the show, I also don't get what's up with the action since WataJun is usually great, maybe he doesn't mesh well with Kami? With King-Ohger I also found all the non-mecha action to be pretty weak although for different reasons from Zeztz. Regardless Takahashi REALLY needs to take a break, he's not versatile enough to make his shows feel unique when airing close to each other unlike Kobayashi or Inoue.
>>23978203That rooster looks badass
>>23978333Yeah, I'm so unbelievably excited for My-Th. I was pretty amped for Gavv too but this is on another level for me, Arakawa coming back is a dream come true and the whole premise just seems super cool.Also fortunately Omegahorn seems like it might be fun so that's helping tide me over waiting for Zeztz to end.
Did you guys get the showa viewer doc fixed yet
>>23978337>Cool premise>Arakawa's writing it>The driver sounds are fantasticI'm set.
>>23978037>Despite being main riders, the Den-O and Kabuto Eggs are SeedEggsWoah...
>Current year is the horse's year>Protagonist is a miceHorsepals...
There goes Wing.
>>23978348Yeah Baku, use a Q1 form against one of the final bosses.
>>23978348>>23978352Was there a reason he wasn't using Exdream here? I thought at first maybe Nem still had it or something but when he got all his Capsems knocked out of his pockets Exdream flew out too.
>>23978339Not yet, the guy managing hasn't replied so I guess hasn't checked here for like 2 weeks
>>23978355The real reason is late toy shilling for clearance sales which is usually why they do this form change roundup even if it's usually in December.But as for an in-show explanation I don't think there is one, did they even say anything about it in the official blog?
>>23978363Maybe Exdream is giving him dream AIDS or something? Obviously something weird is going on with him and Nem noticed but we don't know quite yet.
>>23978289can I at least dream her wearing a swimsuit?
>>23978368Yeah, they strongly htnted there was something wrong with him but didn't actually explicitly tie him not using Ex-Dream here to that.
The darkness of the Zodiac Alliance...
>>23978373Dragon doesn't seem special, he's just another of the Zodiac.
>>23978370u can dream of her in a bikini but the bikini will be on top of her default white dress.
>>23978373>>23978382It looks like she is holding something...
>>23978382He's not in the trailer, his Egg is an upgrade item, and Rid's user has a dragon pun in his name.
https://twitter.com/kujira_bot2/status/2086411912213098606
>>23978203Excuse my autism, but it bothers me that the Shot Born Buckle doesn't come with the Egg of the gun Rider and that Mutn has a hammer when she doesn't even use the Hammer Buckle.
>>23978335>I thought aside from people who were new to the franchise really liking it I thought the opinion in general was mixed, or at least it was that way early onNo, the west thinks it's peak like the other Takahashi shows.
I'm kind of relieved that the 12 Eggs have the same shape. Decade's RideWatch bothers me a bit...
>>23978223Headcanon
People already gave up on Zeztz
>>23978409I really hope the rumors from color of Morphonia's actress being Mutn and Monkey being Kijibrother's actor come true>>23978425It's boring as sin currently. And My-Th just looks way more interesting compared.
>>23978419>It feels like I'm wearing >nothing at all>Nothing At All>NOTHING AT ALL
>>23978427My-Th having 13 riders kind of kills any hype I have. I really just hate large Rider casts like that now
https://twitter.com/e7ak8/status/2086754147169337678
>>23978430Arakawa's writing it though, he flourishes with big casts.
>>23978430>hating on multi-rider show>written by arakawa Eww
>>23978430You didn't like Ryuki and Gaim? Because if not then yeah I guess you won't like My-Th even though the show isn't a battle royale
>>23978447I just grown to not like huge Rider casts
>>23978417glad I'm not the only one, I get the point of why the Decade RideWatch was made that way, but it sticks out in a bad way compared to the other 19 main ones.
>>23978436He made likeable characters, but not all of them are equally well written.
>>23978466I still think he'll do more then good enough for such a large cast. This season seems to basically be his baby.
>>23978470I feel like if you're gonna do a 13 rider cast you need to really kill most of them off
>>23978476Well yeah I very much believe all of the alliance aren't making it to the end.
>>23978479Damn, that was a quick put together Cosplay and it doesn't look half bad.
>>23978483The source link.>>23978434
>>23978479Hah, that's so cute.
>>23978479if anything this show will be remembered for the billion Tom and Jerry parallels at first glance
>>23978335>he's not versatile enough to make his shows feel unique when airing close to each other unlike Kobayashi or Inoue Inoue wasn’t versatile at all though. His most unique rider show as the head writer was Agito. You know it’s an Inoue episode when some weird goofy bullshit happens. Kobyashi is a lot more easier to stomach because her writing trends weren’t as bad as Inoue.
zeztz ztatuz
>>23978503boooooringz
hmmm
>>23978470>This season seems to basically be his babyStop exaggerating so much.
>>23978545He's seemingly solo writing though?
>>23978545It's the first time he does a show solo so clearly he want to have as much control as possible. >>23978466Well yeah you cannot equally put the same amount of focus on every character that'd be retarded, other shows with large cast also don't do that and neither will My-Th. As long as everyone in the cast is both likeable and memorable it can work.>>23978470There's still the worry about if Minato will limit or if Arakawa's vision will have to be cut shurt due to budget kinda like how it happened with Komura for Gavv's Q2 so it's better to keep expectations in check. But still My-Th should have less of a chance to fuck compared to other Reiwa shows since it's basically an OOO/Gokaiger tier staff.
>>23978556I mean Minato's there sure but Takabe is still in charge. I'll just try and have hope it'll be a well steered ship.
>>23978556>There's still the worry about if Minato will limit or if Arakawa's vision will have to be cut shurt due to budget kinda like how it happened with Komura for Gavv's Q2This is obviously completely out of my ass, but I feel like it'd be so retarded to get Arakawa to do a brand new season for the first time in forever only to start limiting him and fucking with his plans. Komura can always write another season so they can fuck with her however they want, but I feel like they have to understand the special circumstances they're in.
>My-Th dragon upgrade is similar like Gotchard LightningJungle
>>23978629That's really cool, wonder how will a mech suit look with the chest belt?
>>23978629Is this the upgrade that's shared between all riders or the upgrade that's just shared with Rid?
>>23978352???? Did everyone forget that said Q1 forms get powered up? They're likely on par with at least Catastrom now.
>>23978647>Did everyone forget that said Q1 forms get powered up? Not the anon you're replying to but I unironically did
>>23978647I 100% forgot.
>>23978401Dragons are often depicted holding on to orbs or pearls in chinese culture
>>23978629Don't like the sound of that, Gotchard could barely move in his big bulky forms.
>>23978703I liked the action with Gurucan at least despite also being a tank, but at the same time it's weird to have this as an upgrade
>>23978647>They're likely on par with at least Catastrom nowEven if that was the case, which it probably isn't since he still tends to default to Dualmare and Exdream when he needs to get serious, Exdream and Catastrom/Orderm are still better due to being all-in-one forms. There's no need to use something like say, Gravity, when Catastrom and Exdream can use its powers on top of other broken abilities.
>>23978526Horoscopes have absolutely nothing to do with the Chinese Zodiac, only link is fortune telling bullshit, fuck off retard.
>>23978728They aren't all in one forms, he's never used any of the other forms abilities while in those forms
>>23978759Catastrom and the Capsem do have the powers of the Categories and we've seen him use Gravity against Nox as Catastrom. Gravity was also used by ExDream without the Capsem being activated.
>>23978793Gonna need you to show me clips of that because I don't think that happened
>>23978526>>23978736I prefer the mask theory
Hey, did we ever get that transforming Code Zeroider figure? Not the SO-DO.
>>23978796>clipsYou can rewatch the episodes right now.
>>23978248Hopefully 1 to keep the lonely concept.
>>23978895>lonely concept and there’s 8 riders running around
>>23978868iirc only the bike mode, they never released a tranaformable toy or a nin-Sodo figure for the robo form
>>23978703I guess it is to limit its appearance before the true user appears. If Dragon appears later I expect him to use the same Egg with a different Belt.
>>23978419>Nasuka be like: No, I'm totally a lesbi-ACK
>>239789001 lonely guy vs 8 guys
>>23978895Fuck that, we already had a straight year of that with Zeztz. I'm ready for Arakawa-style fujo Double Riders.
>>23978943nooo but I want da kuuga feel
Naomi Takebe will give Rid/Tatsuomi the Keiwa and Hanto treatment.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6C-tdV64-k
>>23978915That’s a shame. Guess Bandai weren’t confident they make one easy and cheap enough for kids to convert.
>>23978425I'm still invested.
>>23978922If Dragon was the "main" Q2 or Q3 Rider shilling a new belt, he wouldn't be using an old trinket that came out before his belt did, he would be using a new trinket packaged with his belt.

>>23978977I want Be the Two to be made so we can finally see Sento and Banjo have sex.
>>23978981Build's 10th anniversary next year.
I'm so fucking sick of Takahashi holy shit. Let him rest and give 10th Reiwa season to someone else, Shogo, Inoue, Sanjo, anyone that is competent enough!
>>23978977>Fourze and Drive project never ever
I wish i could be a rich girl's butler, that way I could sniff her pantsu whenever i want
>>23978989>InoueWhy the hell would you even mention Inoue for the 10th? You can let him do the 9th without issues, but there's no point in him writing an anniversary season since he doesn't care about references or consistency at all, even regarding his own past projects, and just does what he's feeling at the time.
>>23978430I mean, you can't do a Zodiac Riders cast and then not do all the Zodiac.It's a functional inevitability.
I have 0 basis for this and it's too soon to realistically speculate but>Reiwa 9 will be made by Daigo Matsuura and Toshiki Inoue>Reiwa 10 will be made Naomi Takebe and Hiroki Uchida>Project R.E.D 4 and 5 will be made by Hideaki Yanaka and Minato TakanoAt least that's what my dream told me.

>>23979019It's still psp they just changed com to org

After so many years of leaving Ghost and Wizard out I finally got bored enough to give them a chance, just saw Ghost's first ep and that was...rough to watch. It felt like everything was at 1.25x with little time to explain shit>You must get X amount of trinkets before this deadlineMy only guess is that he loses them all and has to do the collect-a-ton once again. I'm not going to ask if it gets better because I already know its reputation
>>23978992Shirakura still picked him to write important Decade episodes and a Sentai that was basically an anniversary season.
>>23979036>Shirakura still picked him to write important Decade episodesThat was because his head writer literally quit on him, when Inoue wrote those episodes Decade effectively didn't have a head writer, after that Yonemura became the show's new head writer. In short notices like that Inoue is the easiest writer for Shirakura to get due their friendship which is why Inoue was picked for Hibiki's second half, he didn't do the same for Decade because he wanted a writer that watched every Heisei show and only Aikawa and Yonemura met that criteria at the time. Donbrothers isn't an anniversary season it just has powers based on older Sentai to maximize profits since Toei was desperate for money at that point.
>>23978425The final arc has been pretty mid, the lack of work put into the writing of the overall cast is really taking its toll here and the pacing's been kinda weird.
>>23978425I'm still watching and liking it, I honestly been having quite a bit of fun with the final arc but that's mostly due to the exceptional directional quality of the show and personally liking everyone from the hero cast but Nox. While I don't like Nox I've liked most of the decisions taken with him and Sieg this arc, but thd off pacing has made everyone else even more useless than usual in spite of how centric Nem is the final arc and there's also the issue that just like Geats there are way too many villains acting simultaneously so while none of them are as bad as Suel I don't really feel that invested in them. I don't see Zeztz going beyond a 7 for me.
>>23979038>That was because his head writer literally quit on him, when Inoue wrote those episodes Decade effectively didn't have a head writerHe could've gotten literally any of the other writers he had hired already to do the Decade Complete and Diend World episodes. Aikawa had already quit several episodes before these.>Donbrothers isn't an anniversary season it just has powers based on older Sentai to maximize profits since Toei was desperate for money at that point.The monsters of the week are all based on past Sentai, and it's not just the designs, their users and powers also reference the Sentai they take after. It's as much of an anniversary season as Boukenger and arguably Zenkaiger.
>>23979044Imagine liking Nasuka as a character.
>>23979049I just find her mildly funny and like her actress, she hasn't really done anything in the show for me to outright hate her even if I don't think the show has utilized her properly. Liking a character ≠ loving a character.
>>23979049Cry more
>>23979044final arc is at least better than geats and by that i mean no offensive writing choice like daichi and keiwa's retardation
>>23979058The fresh start of Daichi and Keiwa.
>>23979062I still can't believe they allowed to breed Jyamato in the V-Cinema
>>23979062>You guyyyys, he said he's sorryyyy
>>23978203Who is the 3rd rider and who is going to die first?
>>23979068>3rdWe don't know yet, it's either Maou, the mandatory January Rider, Datt or Tigre. My bet is on the January Rider.>Who is the 3rd rider and who is going to die first?Probably Tigre? He has jobber colors and he reminds me of Kujo Kiriya for some reason. I could also see them killing off either Mutn, Kei or the Monkey to cause some revenge drama since they seem to be a trio within the organization given the original Chinese Zodiac myth and how they're paired together in the teaser.
>>23979055But enough about Ritafags.
>>23979058Did you forget Nox swearing to destroy Somnia only to completely give up on that in the very next 2-parter after destroying a bunch of helpful CODE tools and causing the misunderstanding that led to Zero's death? Or Baku and Nem trying to literally fist bump Sieg, the guy who tormented and almost got them and their loved ones killed, as if they were BFFs?
>>23979016If Uchida writes Reiwa 10 they could a deal similar to Ultraman Geed and have Legend be the tertiary or something
>>23978379Masaka...
>>23979068The Dragon, and Jyao, since he shares a suit actor with Maou.
Rider already have 99% winning formula, which is CONSTANT HOMOEROTICISM, whether from fujos money or ratings perspective it's guaranteed situationYet yanaka forget about it bakaLuckily, takebe brings it back this year
>>23979170The amount of heated arguments among men in My-Th is gonna be like coming home
>>23978252>Tigregonna die on christmas...
>>23979175It really feels like early to mid-heisei, complete trio with possibly annoying heroinekinda like kabuto/OOO trio
>>23979187His figures and weapon are released in November, he’s gonna last after Q1.
https://twitter.com/zhomo11/status/2087009437672419704
>>23979197It does have the feel. Arakawa isn't if not a man of the early 2000s toku scene.
>>23979068Tigre being billed after Maou and getting his toys later on makes me think he's probably the third. But as of now they showcase My-Th, Rid, and Maou as the three must important Riders. Not sure who'd go first but I'm thinking Mutn.
Anybody know when the My-th driver will go up on preorder on HLJ or AmiAmi?
>>23978222Kamen Rider Ratt
>>23979282Evil My-Th!D:
>>23979282Chances of this being Sora's dad because we're obligated a FUCK YOU EVIL DAD subplot?
>>23978222The one with the belt on his waist.
Kamen Rider Maou-thsince mice is plural
>>23978331Those types of fans just like it cause its the current show, and they can't afford to admit a show they used to like is bad now until a few years after it's over. Like how people sucked off Geats and now everyone agrees the last arc is ass. If My-Th ends up being as good as it's promising to be, people will turn on Zeztz in a minute. Good relationships between riders? Supporting cast that is actually relevant and not completely useless? Powerful MC who is still not the only one doing anything relevant? Actual good worldbuilding and not dumb shit like saying Nightmares killed the dinosaurs? People will not look back at ZZZ.
>>23979294Maybe it's Yuna's dad hence why she's the head.
>>23979016You have a better dream than anyone in Zeztz. I'm too nihilistic to consider any 10th anniversary series that's not made by Takahashi. Zeztz Q4 needs to be catastrophically bad to even consider that happening, and after a strong previous quarter, it doesn't seem like that will be the case. It's gonna perform as well as all his other shows.
Kamen Rider Kei...
>>23978248It would be cooler if Sora became evil and Rid became good to bring back Sora to the good side.
I hope we end up seeing origin cat. Could see origin cat getting killed being why origin MY-TH betrays the others
>>23979068What if nobody dies because the director goes the wussy Gavv route?
>>23979294More like great grandpa, his and Maou's fight happened 100 years ago before the Zyunishi Doumei went into slumber.
>>23979265Tigre is just a Rival Rider like the rest of the Zodiacs, he's not that important.
>>23979381Everyone is gonna die and then get wished back to life by some collect the 12 eggs zodiac mojo
>>23979315>dumb shit like saying Nightmares killed the dinosaurs?That was so stupid on Takahashi's part, Nightmares were stated multiple times to have only been born when human minds were, and the dinosaurs' extinction predates humanity's existence by millions of years.
>>23979386There should be some that get more focus than the others.
>Toei Hero Strategy: To attract female viewers who watched Precure, Kamen Rider, which airs in the time slot after it, will feature young, handsome actors.
>>23979408Sure, Precure watchers. I mean Kamen Rider has literally always relied on young handsome actors but go off, Shirakura-san.
>>23979357Maou is the original cat so that would make no sense
>>23979413Proof?
>>23979413The fact that both the original My-Th and Maou existed at the same time? Unless you're trying to say there's 3 fucking cats now
>>23979294Its sora before he get amnesia and change of hairstyle
>>23979411It's the polite way to describe it because saying "Yeah the moms wanna fuck these actors because their lumpy salarymen husbands aren't hot" isn't good business.

>>23979199Jyao sharing the same suit actor as Maou might be mean he's leaving first.
>>23978989>>23979036>>23979045I genuinely think Donbrothers bought in a bunch of newfags that suddenly love Inoue’s writing because of how entertaining that show was. You do realize that there’s a reason why he hasn’t come back as a head writer for any Phase 2 or Reiwa Rider, right? When he does write something small like an episode or a movie it ends up being okay or shit. >The monsters of the week are all based on past SentaiBecause Donbrothers is a super budget show and making things based on previously established shows is cheaper than making something new.
>>23979495I mean to be fair, Donbros was (in my opinion, very surprisingly) proof that Inoue actually had the ability to still write a really enjoyable 50 episode TV series. Granted it obviously had some problems, but I don't think it's crazy for people to see how fun Donbros was and want to see him take a stab at Kamen Rider again too. And yeah you can bring up the Faiz 20th movie but for everything you can say about that movie it was AT LEAST entertaining.Personally I don't think a modern KR show by him would be half as good as Donbros, Sentai just allows him to play with a bigger but closer knit cast way better. Also Sentai's general lack of care for overarching plots nowadays is a bit more conducive to his writing.
>>23979495>You do realize that there’s a reason why he hasn’t come back as a head writer for any Phase 2 or Reiwa Rider, right?Because he's an aggressive maverick who doesn't work well with most producers who don't give him wiggle room? Shirakura just lets him do whatever. Most other writers venerate him and aggressively copy his work. Sho Aikawa cited Inoue as the only reason the second Garo anime was able to even finish due to his competence as a writer. Takatera loves him and saw him as the only guy who could contend with Arakawa for Kuuga (And was frustrated when Inoue didn't want to do scab work over Arakawa following a series of filming delays for episode 13 onwards). Arakawa himself also praised Inoue while recognizing he was someone you could not put constraints on.You need to understand that hatred of Inoue was a product of two things:1. EOPs relying on dogshit TLs2. J3Ls failing to understand the language and complicating things furtherYou're sitting firmly in the middle of the bellcurve by still thinking Inoue is bad.
>>23979518>You're sitting firmly in the middle of the bellcurve by still thinking Inoue is bad.NTA but let's not pretend Inoue hasn't had some fucking bombs. Kiva as a whole is totally half baked and every episode of Kabuto that he wrote is usually markedly worse than anything else.
>>23979519Funny you mention Kabuto because Tendou is literally based on Inoue. That's how much Japanese writers love him. It's also midwit behavior to think two bad shows — both of which had plenty of spectacular episodes that could've only happened with his writing and both up to their ribs in executive meddling in an attempt to recapture financial success after severe financial losses — suddenly dismiss the rest of his work.Even his Heisei Phase 2 contributions skew more towards positive. Movie War Core and Rider 1 aren't good but his Zi-O episodes blow most of the show out of the water (Though I will concede that it is very easy to out-write Shimoyama and Mouri).
>>23979526>both of which had plenty of spectacular episodes that could've only happened with his writingKiva for sure, there's very good episodes there, but I think basically all of his Kabuto episodes are mediocre.>his Zi-O episodes blow most of the show out of the waterNow you just sound insane. Those "Kiva" episodes are not much better than anything else in Zi-O and the Ginga stuff is just dumb (albeit, that's obviously not his fault since it was a Woz upgrade that definitely got forced on him)
>>23979518> You're sitting firmly in the middle of the bellcurve by still thinking Inoue is badBut I don’t, please dont project yourself onto me. I was literally one of the anons defending his writing years ago. I loved Kiva ffs. You can like someone’s writing and still recognize/call out their flaws. I love Inoue’s writing but I know he would be a terrible choice for Modern Kamen Rider. My point is that only newfags and people that discovered Inoue thru Donbros want him to return to head write a Rider show.> EOPs relying on dogshit TLsTV-N has a mountain load of issues but the plot was never hard to understand with their subs. You can still grasp that Faiz heavily relies on “MISUNDERSTANDING” even with a slightly better translation.
>>23979535If you didn't feel anything from Kabuto's 40th episode, I genuinely don't know what to tell you. And if you want to try and list some Zi-O episodes that actually gave Sougo some measure of nuance and character more interesting than what we got in the Kiva arc, go right ahead, but keep in mind you're going to be trying to get interesting characterization from Kento Shimoyama.
>>23979539>My point is that only newfags and people that discovered Inoue thru Donbros want him to return to head write a Rider show.Or people who want to see what he'd do with the newer direction Reiwa is taking of re-emphasizing leads dealing with long-term arcs around isolation and large-scale opposition, a premise he handled beautifully for decades. He was able to re-invigorate Sentai with Donbrothers' emphasizing the premise of the cast being highly dysfunctional and asynchronous for so long, I imagine he'd be able to fire up something similar for Rider.
>>23979548>He was able to re-invigorate Sentai with Donbrothers' emphasizing the premise of the cast being highly dysfunctional and asynchronous for so long>I imagine he'd be able to fire up something similar for Rider.We're getting exactly this in Zeztz and it's complete dogshit.
kek
>>23979550>We're getting exactly this in Zeztz and it's complete dogshit.I don't care for Inoue, but although Zeztz is that up to a point, it's also doing that specifically to highlight the main character in this case.Rider can very well work with dysfunctional relationships among the main Riders, if you allow each one to lead their own plots, but Zeztz can't do that because it's trying to position "Zeztz" in this central spotlight above everyone else, so all the Riders that clash with him or can't work alongside him for some reason have that happening either to be positioned as antagonists for Zeztz OR just so they aren't taking spotlight away from Zeztz as the real hero of the show, not in service of their own stories.
>>23979562You're missing the forest for the trees with Zeztz. It doesn't matter if Zeztz is in the central spotlight above everybody else, we've seen this in other seasons with lots of antagonistic riders (Kabuto is probably a perfect example, although that show does have Kagami as a genuine foil presentation-wise) the issue is way more simple. The other motivations and characters just fucking suck. We barely even understand Nox's goal, yes he wants to destroy Code but why did that involve fucking with the world so much early on? Why be such a cunt to Baku? Why be so mysterious even after Baku learned more than him? They could put Nox on an equal level to Baku in terms of presentation and importance and he'd still fucking suck because there isn't even a single interesting thing about him. Hell he could be super friendly now and actively helpful to Baku and he'd still be an awful secondary.Dawn is an insane lunatic which is basically all I need to say about why he's dysfunctional. Once again, doesn't matter how he leads his own plot (if anything, he had great presence in his own """plot""" and motivations) but he's just a perma-crazy murderer so even when he turned "good" he still had to die for being a psychopath.
>Revice 06>Ikki runs in with video evidence of the lawyer working with a Deadman, because Vice snuck on a person's phone and recorded everything in secret after looking at the lawyer's documents>the trial is immediately found in favor of Ikki's party and the lawyer is exposedSee what would have been funnier is if the judge immediately hit Ikki with how his recording as a third-party of the conversation was a violation as he was not the party offering consent (Ah.)AND that his admission of evidence to the trial was not submitted to documentation (Ah...)AND it didn't follow regular trial processes, which even with Fenix approval would still color the trial and lead to at best a mistrial, forcing all evidence Ikki provided to be disregarded and the trial restarted (Ah.....)And then while Vice and Ikki are remarking how vigilantism isn't as clear cut as television makes it out to be, the impulse-lowered stamp-affected lawyer snaps all on his own from the outburst and summons the Kanagroo Deadman anyway.
>>23979495I wasn't sucking Inoue off, I'm saying Toei don't give a fuck and clearly have none of the concerns you guys think they have about him. They literally got his daughter to write Sentai's 50th anniversary show even though she had never headlined a Toku show nor even written a single episode of Sentai before.>Because Donbrothers is a super budget show and making things based on previously established shows is cheaper than making something new.You're fucking retarded, the Hitotsuki weren't kitbashed from previous monsters, they were original designs. And how exactly do they save money writing indirect references?
>>23979587Oh I just finished the episode, doubly so now that I know the judge is working with the lawyer.
>>23979535>Daisuke's episodes>the Dark Kitchen>Tsurugi's introduction and death>"mediocre"Opinion discarded.
>>23979599>>Daisuke's episodesDaisuke is easily the most boring character in Kabuto by an insane amount, even while he was being introduced.
>>23979535>Those "Kiva" episodes are not much better than anything else in Zi-O and the Ginga stuff is just dumb (albeit, that's obviously not his fault since it was a Woz upgrade that definitely got forced on him)The Kiva episodes are still widely regarded as one of Zi-O's highlights, people are just that fond of Inoue.
>>23979582You're missing the point here.>(Kabuto is probably a perfect example, although that show does have Kagami as a genuine foil presentation-wise)Yeah, exactly, Kabuto has Kagami getting a lot of focus, and before that he switches rivals several times. It's not trying to position Kabuto as a solo hero.>We barely even understand Nox's goal, yes he wants to destroy Code but why did that involve fucking with the world so much early on? Why be such a cunt to Baku? Why be so mysterious even after Baku learned more than him?Initially he was positioned as an enemy, but even after trying to reframe him as not a villain once the real story started, they have to keep Nox uncommunicative and standoffish because they don't want him as an effective partner to Baku who steals screentime and spotlight from Zeztz and makes him more of a duo than a solo hero.>Hell he could be super friendly now and actively helpful to Baku and he'd still be an awful secondary.He's is "awful" because he isn't allowed to be a good partner or lead a running plotline on his own. Note for example when he wanted to protect Lady who was about to be taken over by phantom, it just consisted on him ineffectually standing near her for several episodes without doing anything, because this ultimately wasn't actually meant to give him a focus plotline, it was meant to get him out of the way from Baku's spotlight, while still keeping him in the show since he's the 2nd Rider. A lot of the issues ultimately come down to this.>Once again, doesn't matter how he leads his own plot (if anything, he had great presence in his own """plot""" and motivations) but he's just a perma-crazy murderer so even when he turned "good" he still had to die for being a psychopath.Almost the entire time "Dawn's plot" had focus he was positioned as an antagonist to let Zeztz shine by facing him. He did get one episode of spotlight afterwards as an ally, but quickly was shoved aside again.
>>23979601He was more fun than Yaguruma and Kageyama before they went emo as well as Worm Souji. All the Riders in Kabuto stood out more than the civilian side characters because of their strong personalities and dick-measuring contests with Tendou.
>>23979591I always feel the past Sentai elements on Donbrothers are because Zenkaiger didn't use them enough outside of the heroes' design inspirations.
>>23979582>The other motivations and characters just fucking suck.They suck partly because the show really doesn't want them to take the spotlight away from Baku in order to keep pushing the prominent "lone hero" idea.
>>23979591>I'm saying Toei don't give a fuck and clearly have none of the concerns you guys think they have about him.I'm saying that you're either a fucking idiot or just delusional. If Inoue went from being all over every Phase 1 Rider and even doing the First/Next to rarely writing anything for Phase 2, then something must've happened. >They literally got his daughter to writeShe wasn't planned to do Gozyuger and was only hired because Matsuura-P didn't get his first choice and he met her at a party. If you have watched Gozyuger, you would know that she is a big part of it's issues. She got mogged by all of the guest writers
>>23979621>I'm saying that you're either a fucking idiot or just delusionalNice projection, retard.>If Inoue went from being all over every Phase 1 Rider and even doing the First/Next to rarely writing anything for Phase 2, then something must've happened.Despite your delusional theories, he's obviously not blacklisted since they keep bringing him back to work on stuff, some of which is important like Donbrothers and the new Agito movie. He just stopped working as much from the 2010s onward, and it wasn't just for Toei Toku but TV shows in general. Maybe he just got tired because in the 2000s he was writing for up to 5 shows at once.>She wasn't planned to do Gozyuger and was only hired because Matsuura-P didn't get his first choice and he met her at a party.He could've gotten anyone else, and they met a party to celebrate Paradise Regained which Shirakura and her dad obviously also attended.>If you have watched Gozyuger, you would know that she is a big part of it's issues. She got mogged by all of the guest writersYes, and? Do you know for a fact that Toei gives a fuck about your irrelevant opinions? Do you think that will prevent her from getting hired by them in the future? Shirakura himself has praised Gozyuger.
>If Alchemist Link Driver was a human
>>23979621>If Inoue went from being all over every Phase 1 Rider and even doing the First/Next to rarely writing anything for Phase 2, then something must've happened.Anon why are you acting as if we didn't know why every Kamen Rider head writer was hired? They're really public about it. Inoue was just hired a lot in early Heisei due to Shirakura producing most of it, after Decade Shirakura became president so they stopped and even then he would occasionally help with specials and movies all while working on the Kuuga Manga that's still ongoing. Aside from Shirakura most producers don't seem to enjoy working with him due to him not caring about toys, but that's just a theory by nip netizens and there's no source for that.Also when it comes to Akiko while Matsuura didn't want her to be the head writer for Gozyuger that doesn't mean he didn't want to work with her, he cited that he liked her writing and she'll probably get picked again, he just didn't want her to do Gozyuger because she had only watched 3 Sentai shows which isn't convinient for an anniversary. >>23979518Inoue is highly praised but he's on par with Takahashi, Komura and Akiko imo, as writers that only really work under certain conditions but aren't incompetent enough to be straight up bad, personally I don't think he would work well with any of the current producers except for maybe Matsuura since his style is like an in-between of Takebe and Shirakura. But I agree with what you said about Toei not really caring about the opinions of other people, producers pick writers based on friendships or what's the most convinient for the show they're making.
>>23979680>Inoue is highly praised but he's on par with TakahashiHell no. I’m not one of those fans who pretend he’s a genius who can do no wrong, but he’s far more interesting than Takahashi copy and pasting his old work over and over. I’ll take weird and interesting over repetition any day, regardless of how good or bad that is.
>>23979562I don't thinkethe issue is highlighting the lead in this case but rather that the motivations for Nox make the conflict between the Riders not work. Yanaka's ideas for Zeztz would have worked better with another writer, specifically late night drama writers like Takano or Mutou, but ultimately Takahashi's vision is really different and rather than putting his foot down like Omori did in Ex-Aid or allowing Takahashi to do what he wants like Geats' first half he decided to do both his and Takahashi's which comes off as nonsensical.
>>23979680>he's on par with Takahashi, Komura and AkikoBlasphemy.
>>23979680>as writers that only really work under certain conditions but aren't incompetent enough to be straight up badInoue's only "certain condition" is to just let him write without executive meddling. Takahashi's best work requires excessive meddling (Ark-One was pushed by production staff and not him, for example). Komura needed another fujo on production (Takebe) to help facilitate her ideas. Akiko Inoue just isn't good at writing long-form drama and needed a lot of handholding. Putting Inoue in the same league as everyone else is just unfair to him, especially when unlike the rest he has a proven track record under numerous conditions ranging from "Sentai will literally die if you don't knock it out of the park" to "Sega gave us too much money, do whatever the Hell you want" where he put out classic shows that are still highly influential in his field to this day.
On the topic of Inoue, I could’ve sworn that he wrote a Den-O episode but he didn’t make anything for the show. Den-O would be a perfect fit for his type of humor
>>23979684Even if Nox's writing made sense, he would still be a forgettable Secondary with a serious lack of focus.
I genuinely think if Inoue wrote Nox instead of Takahashi he'd be like top 5 secondary Riders. I think Nox's core factors of being a pessimistic hopeless suicidal loser are all things Inoue thrives with writing.
>>23979680> he's on par with Takahashi, Komura and Akiko imoThe longer this discussion goes on, the more you guys out yourselves as having absolute shit taste. Oh my fucking god>>23979683> but he’s far more interesting than Takahashi copy and pasting his old work over and over. Takahashi’s flaws so far have been producer interference not reusing writing trends. They all do that to a certain extent.
>>23979688He wrote Kiva which had a trio of discount Imagin.
>>23979683>>23979686I mean I get that, I like Inoue's toku on average far more than Takahashi, the only ones of his I have problem with are Kiva, The Next and Goursigan, and even then only Goursigan I straight up dislike, as opposed to Takahashi who while I don't hate any of his toku Ex-Aid is the only one I consider truly great. But judging them from what they've done aside from toku Inoue I feel just work well with Shirakura, Takahashi with Omori and in the case of Akiko and Komura they just work well if it's for a serialized show with a small hero cast. I guess that's better than Takahashi right now since he really doesn't have any producer right now that could churn out a truly great show from him which is why I hope he doesn't come back.>>23979687With Kiva he had a lot of freedom for the first half and that was messy, Inoue works well with freedom but a bit of higher interference like Shirakura usually does with him.But fair whenever Inoue has an interview he comes off as truly great guy to hang out with and inspiring as opposed to the other 3 so perhaps I spoke too harshly.>Ark-One was pushed by production staff and not himWasn't Aruto becoming Ark-One his idea after rewriting the final arc due to Covid?
>>23979694>Takahashi’s flaws so far have been producer interference not reusing writing trends. They all do that to a certain extent.Takahashi has a bunch of terrible writing trends too, and fumbling 3 shows with 3 very different producers speaks volumes about his quality as a writer. Not even Komura fumbled Gavv as hard as Takahashi did with Geats, and they both had the same producer.
>>23979700>Wasn't Aruto becoming Ark-One his idea after rewriting the final arc due to Covid?They just said it was someone in a meeting, probably not him since it would be weird to not just say it was the show's head writer if that had been the case.https://desuarchive.org/m/thread/21418730/#21420484
>>23979714Thanks, I guess I hold Takahashi on less of a well regard now.
>>23979702> Takahashi has a bunch of terrible writing trends too, and fumbling 3 shows with 3 very different producers speaks volumes about his quality as a writerLike that one retard said before, “Toei doesn’t care about the public opinion” or someThing like that. All of Takahashi’s shows have been a success but you can’t really say the same about Komura who has had multiple flops in a row.
>>23979720>Like that one retard said before, “Toei doesn’t care about the public opinion” or someThing like that.I was the one who said that, and that doesn't apply here because that specific part of the conversation is about our personal opinions on Takahashi and the writing on his shows. I never claimed his shows were failures nor that they will never hire him again, retard, but whether his writing is good or not is genuinely up to debate.
https://x.com/minthyunjinn/status/2087218335473860737I wonder how the official/main subs for My-Th will translate the callouts, because so far his base form looks like the most untranslatable callout of all time.Also personally in my opinion, I'm not a huge fan of this batch of "KAMEN RIDER [Name]" callouts, it's not an exclusive kind of callout to this belt but for some reason it feels a bit dull compared to previous belts that incorporated that in their callouts.
>>23979023>My only guess is that he loses them all and has to do the collect-a-ton once againWorse. When he does collect them all it’s not the end. Takeru has to then “connect” to each of the hero souls to unlock their full potential/learn a life lesson. And then dies something like that again, but it’s human emotions to power up his final firm. He gives through four whole of those collects thin style arcs.All I’m going to say is that even if I liked Ghost, you’re right that it’s a slog. And that I was far more invested in Alain’s character arc in the show. And evidently the creators agree with me given they released a miniseries that’s just Alain’s character arc but with extra scenes.
>>23979734I think "Ne is me, cheeser!" is fairly easy to understand, and if they want to go all the way with the translation so that absolutely everyone can understand it, they can just translate the "Ne" to "The Rat" or "The Mouse".
>>23979734Cheesed to meet you?
>>23979747
>>23979023> My only guess is that he loses them all and has to do the collect-a-ton once againiirc Takeru uses his wish to revive Spectre’s sister instead of himself but he gets a boost from his father’s spirit >>23979736I fucking hate bandwagoning faggots like you that haven’t watched the show.

>>23979734There is literally no reason to translate it. No one likes fanfic subs. Just having it as Nezumi Chisa is enough

I hate that it's the OP of a great show like Build (it doesn't even fit the visuals' energy and flow, it's like if you swapped the music of Fourze and Drive's OP sequences with generic EDM) and it's also a shame because Beverly has sung much better songs like Everlasting Sky and her Gotchard ones. They shouldn't have hired that shitty EDM producer who ended up killing PANDORA with his affair.

>>23980150>>23980150If Inoue got picked to make Rider today he will most likely not make a show as good Jetman, Agito, Mikazuki, 555 or Donbrothers but rather something like Kiva. It really hinges of whether the new producers can reach the sweetspot Shirakura has when handling him which I don't have much faith on aside from Matsuura. Takahashi is the same where if he gets picked again he can just make Geats/Zeztz-tier shows or worse because there are no producers right now that know how tardwrangle him. But Shirakura is close to retirement and he said he wants his last project to be with Inoue and Tasaki again so maybe we can get a Rider season by them soon-ish? Although realistically it'll probably be a movie or an adult show.
>>23980134I love access, I'm surprised that singers getting roles in toku are really great at acting more often than not
>>23980200Zerowan was worse than geats and zezt combined
>>23980202Yeah that's the>or worsepart, why are you bringing it up?
>>23980200>MatsuuraWhy do you keep hyping up a producer whose only show so far wasn't even good?
>>23980204He's one of us and got turbofucked by circumstances. How was he supposed to know the gold-digging whore was a method actress?
>>23980204I'm not hyping him up I'm just saying based on production style who could realistically work Inoue the best out of the current producers, I doubt he'll ever actually pick Inoue since he seems to want to prop up new writers.My entire point is that it's far more likely for those 4 writers to make mixed shows in Toei's current environment than not.
>>23980202>>23980203Geats was just as bad as Zero-One, if not worse.
>>23980205>He's one of usSo are Minato and Yanaka, and you don't see anyone hyping them up after seeing the shows they delivered.>and got turbofucked by circumstancesLet's not pretend Gozyuger was much better before the Maya shitshow.
>>23980205It is a shame he basically got left holding the bag on a shitshow like Gozyu
>>23980205>>23980202>>23980208Schizo moment
>>23980206Inoue needs a producer who can successfully steer him away from making a nonsensical mess, Matsuura can't do that since he couldn't even do it with Akiko.
>>23980210nta as I'm the other anon but again I'm not trying to hype them up, with Yanaka I at least feel he would work well with drama writers like Fukuda or Mutou and in Matsuura's case most of the issues were Akiko's fault. The issue is if they will actually get writers that fit their style or just settle for whoever and eventually get demoted like Utsunomiya was. Minato is the one I wouldn't really trust for another season, with Matsuura one can cut him some slack with how screwed he was with everyone else and Yanaka kinda because he had to pick Takahashi due to the whole dream setting but Minato just kept making a fuckload of incompetent decisions. Only defense I can give him is his philosophy on insert songs and bikes but those are not enough to make a great show.
>>23980213Cry harder.
>>23980217Muto is washed.
>>23980215I mean Donbrothers and Changerion are messes but fun ones, and the thing with Akiko is that she can do good, like most people like her Universe Warriors and Bridan. The issue with her are that she really shouldn't have done an anniversary show, just like Komura her style only really works with Rider, the show was screwed by multiple situations beyond its control and that she cannot do motw to save her life.Now even though I wouldn't mind Komura and Akiko doing Rider shows as long as they have few riders I obviously would rather they'd just hire a writer that isn't a coinflip which is why I'm glad we're getting Arakawa next season.
>>23980217>Yanaka kinda because he had to pick Takahashi due to the whole dream settingHe wasn't forced to pick him, he decided to choose him knowing he was the one who proposed the dream theme he picked and getting the recommendation.>but Minato just kept making a fuckload of incompetent decisionsSo did Yanaka and we don't even know half the shit he did behind the scenes because Zeztz hasn't finished airing yet.
>>23980225I don't think Rider will get a mainline full-on comedy show that rarely takes itself seriously like Sentai has. Suffering and drama are part of the franchise's DNA and the character arcs need to at least make sense even if the main plot doesn't.A Rider show with an Inoue that's not succesfully wrangled will end up like Kiva.
>>23980226>he decided to choose him knowing he was the one who proposed the dream themeBut that's the thing since Takahashi proposed it he didn't want to steal the idea which is why he got him, it's the same logic for Utsunomiya hiring Komura for LuPat.>So did YanakaThe idea of a lonely rider working solo with a side cast helping him can work as proven with Kuuga, so having the other Riders be assholes as proven with 555, having a slower episodic first half had already been done well multiple times by other Heisei shows and doing a plot twist like the reset can work as long as the writer actually takes advantage to build upon things, similar twists have worked with manga and dramas, it's really more that Takahashi went about them in the most retarded way possible. His other ideas of dividing the workforce in 3 with his 2 vice producers and director, also trying to give Zeztz more bike scenes than the other Reiwa shows are great ideas too. The only outright retarded ones are how he went about the form changes and toys.
>>23980226>>23980235But to be fair Yanaka is still retarded for not adapting his plan after hiring Takahashi, if Omori can understand Takahashi's weaknesses juts by working with him once like he did with Ex-Aid, then Yanaka should have also been able to since he had already worked with Takahashi twice before Zeztz. Only defense that comes to mind in that respect is not expecting a writer who's reportedly a big fan of Faiz to screw up the asshole Rider part so catastrophically.
>>23980235You forgot that Nox's actor wasn't told anything about his character and that he had to learn how to portray him by reading each episode's script as they were delivered to the cast, not even the filming crew knew why Nox did certain things in certain scenes nor how the actor was supposed to approach that. Yanaka also delegated a good part of the creation of fucking Sieg's character to Sugihara of all people just because he was the one directing his debut episodes. Yanaka's also the one who brags about the Riders not becoming allies until the very end, even if it got very irritating and nonsensical on Nox's part to just keep turning the heroes down over and over again, so that was also probably enforced by him.
>>23980235>But that's the thing since Takahashi proposed it he didn't want to steal the ideaHe can't steal an idea that Takahashi willingly gave out for others to use, that's retarded.
More evidence if anyone is still asking who is the Secondary Rider.
>>23980266Rid was always 100% the secondary rider (and it's obviously the new tutor that Yuna has.)
>>23979874Ghost.
>>23980332It's probably the least KR of many KR OPs, but it's still a high tempo fun song.
