Commercial for the Ghost anniversary net episodes. The video shows only Specter/W, Ghost/Gaim and Ghost/Drive, but it's confirmed that all shows from W to Drive will be getting episodes and there are scans showing the other episodes.

Is this leading to a Sentai series where Toei doesn't need to bother with actors, only suit actors?

Okay, I may just see myself coming back for this shit. That looks ridiculous in all the right ways.
This is not happening, but would be so sweet.

Welp. That's it. Spectre W is literally the perfect suit.
Speaking of which it seems going by a merchandise calendar Spectre's gonna get a "Power-up" form unlike Mr. Ma-ha. I was worried Houdini was gonna be the last big things for him.

That's been the hustle for every Battride War.
At least I don't have to buy more Kamen Rider Girls singles for DLC codes for complete bullshit.
I'll be OK spending some cash on the Chaser movie.
Well uh...there you have it.

bad gameplay lol
Yeah, but the previous exclusive DLCs were included in CD singles (much cheaper) and were just equippable figures (not a big deal). This is a whole character included in a much more expensive movie.
That said, I was already planning on getting the limited edition of the movie solely because it's the cheapest way to get a Break Gunner these days (damn aftermarket prices).

It was for me because now knowing how exclusive that DLC stayed makes me know that I made the right call in getting it.
Where are you getting the LE from? I might have to put down on one knowing what'll be in it. I was able to pick up those singles on eBay after the fact but I think this won't mirror that experience at all.

I'll likely be getting it from Amiami whenever they put it up for preorder. Hopefully that's soon. Otherwise CDJapan, probably.

Finished Kamen Rider Fourze.
It's my new favorite Kamen Rider. Easily. Drive had a better ending, but Fourze was consistent the whole series, and the ending was... very Fourze. Great supporting cast, characters in general, best main Rider, enemies were ok. The only problem I had with it was the
My friend wants to watch Wizard, after his appearances on Fourze. Since she's the one who will select the next series... eh.

Kengo is the Core Switch part, which was an asspull imo, but the results were great.

Do me a favor and let me know if AmiAmi gets it. I took a look at CDJapan and what they want for it seems fair so I'll wait and see.
Everybody wants to watch Wizard after Fourze, since Fourze was so good.
Do not watch Wizard.

Sure, no problem.

Yes, I know. He looks cool, but it's a trap, if what everybody says is true. But it's her time to choose next, since I choose both Gaim and Fourze. Well, let's see.

Go into Wizard with no hope and you and your friend won't fall into despair.
We've all taken our shots at Wizard around here.
The hangup for me after it has been said and done is that the show had much promise and took advantage of none of it. Why Rinko, Why?!?!?!?!? Why
Mage
The last fifth of the show was actually pretty nice, I thought; but the preceding 40 or so episodes are just so awful it's not worth it.
The suits are amazing, the spell rings could actually be used out-of-suit (a first if I'm not mistaken), and Haruto's actor was actually quite charming in the right circumstances.
It's a shame a show like Wizard turned into a total joke (occasionally showing flashes of goodness from time to time).

I'm not saying I didn't enjoy Wizard but it could've been so much more. Just so much promise for them not to take advantage of it in a way that we could look back on and appreciate more.
The movie brought closure for Haruto & Koyomi and for Wizard that's all you can ask for.
You know your hero is inept when even Shunpei is pointing out how bad they're doing their job.
I feel Haruto's teacher was actually one of the better one-off characters.

Favorite episode of Wizard was Lizardman.
Most of Wizard just ignored the horror aspects of the Phantoms (aka they basically took over a person's entire life), but I loved at the end of that episode Haruto realizes there's no happy ending in this case. The rest of the show really didn't seem to give much of a fuck about the fact every time Haruto killed a Phantom he was basically erasing a person's existence.

Aww HOPR is skipping Dino Charge? But it's one of the better seasons, wish he'd at least consider doing it.
This is so 70s toku

No. He'll be doing it once it ends.
I shouldn't have watched the Megaforce one. All that shit I wished to forget plus stuff I didn't even catch on my own just to make what I remembered worse.
The problem was Haruto himself in that arc.
Golf?
Something about production schedules, the ISIS report they aired around the end of ToQger kind of messed things up.
Ghost should be airing like normal.

Man, it really is a terrible show. Worse than Samurai, and honestly I disagree with Linkara, it's worse than Overdrive.
I can't agree that Megaforce is worse than Overdrive. I could finish Megaforce, there were enjoyable parts of Megaforce; despite it all being the absolute worst and wrong thing to have been done. But I can't stand watching Overdrive for a single episode; it's obnoxious and terrible and it lacks any sort of respect to the viewer. Megadrive, for being wrong in every single thing; at least told it's baffling story in a way that did not make the viewer want to break the TV.
Hmm the suit looks good but I am still on the fence whether to watch it or not.
I thought Wizard was pretty good but then I watched Kuuga, while Wizard was airing, and I then I realised that Wizard had the potential to be Kuuga 2.0 but alas it wasn't to be.
Still though I kept on watching it and it was worth it to see
Beast to be the one to take down the White Wizard, especially after being looked down upon by him.

Okay, correction on the Chaser in Battride Genesis thing. You don't have to buy the movie to get him. He'll be released as free DLC sometime after the release of the movie.
My apologies for the misinformation, was going on bad info from a friend and I didn't think to verify it myself. Oops!

Oh, nice!
Still have my Japanese PSN account set up from the original Battride though I never got around to picking up the DLC though.
So Chaser's DLC---I'm betting Spectre probably is too, and maybe Ghost's Toukon Boost?
Seraphis Cain

Right now the DLC we know of is Chaser and Takeshi Hongo as a Shocker grunt. Nothing about Spectre so far (though I'd be surprised if he wasn't DLC eventually) or Ghost Toukon Boost.

Wonder if they're going to remix all of the Showa suits?
id love to see what they do with x and stronger

The new suit is pretty much a modernized version of the Sakurajima suit, the suit that Rider 1 had while returning for a few guest appearances during Rider 2's run in the original series, before he became the protagonist again, but with lighter green colors for the chest and gloves.
The belt looks pretty different from the Typhoon though, which is kind of odd, since even Rider 3 had kept the original Typhoon.
In a single movie? There's no way it's happening. The only other Showa Rider that might get a new suit here is Rider 2, since they could just reuse Rider 1's mold and change the colors. These movies don't have enough budget for 10 new Rider suits at once.
The movie seems to be called just "Kamen Rider #1" although it seems to be basically a Rider Taisen movie, since Ghost is in it too. That pamphlet mentions that this is the "Super Hero Year" with the Rider and Sentai anniversaries and that the first part will be this Rider movie. So, I guess we'll see a separate Sentai movie or Sentai x Rider movie afterwards.

Looks like... a modernized Kamen Rider 1.
Btw, it'll be just a Kamen Rider Taisen again? Damn, I kinda wanted another SHT with sentai.

Well, in the worst case scenario, next years crossover should be a Vs. Super Sentai style movie, if they keep that tradition.
