I did as well. I think it helped that it's one of my favorite riders from a design aspect. I loved both the Rider suit and enemy designs. I thought the split story was still quite an engaging mechanic even if it didn't fully pay off. Overall it was a fun ride.

The thing I like about Kiva is once he got Emperor Form and Shotgun Sword, he'd jump straight to that immediately. I know it was for production reasons, but Riders not jumping straight to their most powerful form always bothered me.

The Fangire designs were amazing and my personal favorite enemy designs in Rider shows.
Wizard was a tool in many ways. Beast was the only real dude in the whole damn show
The back story in Kiva is amazing, like how the Fangire extremated or enslaved the other races. And the Fangire's "true names"
I like the way Drive has done it and has given the lower forms niche abilities, but overall I always think that's really dumb. Here's an enemy, I'm gonna use my less powerful form for a while until I get my ass kicked and then finally unleash my full power.
They are so good. I feel like the chief Roidmude designs were the first to get close. Really dig Heart/Brain/Freeze.

Roidmudes designs were really cool and fit in the mechanical motif in the show.
They really knock the back story out of the park.

That's a good question. I thought she sure knew, on the begining of the series, but wasn't too sure after the first few episodes.
Did you
touch your hand

For once I thought the low-quality of TV-N's video worked to their advantage with Kiva, because it gave everything a creepy, low-fi horror vibe.
Still though, I'd love to see someone else resub the show.

... Now I remember you don't need to touch the hand to transform, right?
Shabadubi touch to henshin was a lie.

I wonder if Ghost's final form won't be a history dude, but rather take the concept of eyes further?
Like Panoptes from Greek Mythos, and looking like Hiei's Jaganshi Form like covered in eyes and shit.

Nope, Haruto touched the hand before the dragons/elements came out (Infinity) or before the magic circle came out (other forms).

I think I'll marathon the 5 Flashman episodes today or tomorrow. The episodes are getting good near the ending.
After seeing Kabuto and Kiva, I think their subs weren't that bad. It was understandable. Nowhere as bad as Shinkenger. I'm still trying to understand the Gekiranger movie. Thank gods Geki-senshi subbed the series.
(Ok, it may be a low bar to set.)

Poor Heart... given the appearance of Banno's petty revenge. No wonder all the Roidmudes want his head, and have a bad impression of humans.
Good to see Gou is back to normal! ... I hope.
But yeah, it's looking like Banno might be the final villain.
I always wondered why KR shows clips from an upcoming movie in the theme song, but Sentai never does.

Sentai used to put them in ED. I remember Gokaiger and Gobuster having them.

Sentai did for a while, and I think they still show Vs movie clips in the ending theme. They stopped showing SHT clips because they aren't Sentai focused anymore (or, in the case of SHTZ, not focused on the current Sentai). They don't use summer movie clips aside from some exceptions (like Kyoryuger) because they're just short features, not the main movie, so there's likely no pressure to advertise them.

Oh wait, I remember GB also putting movie stuff in OP. ToQger also did.
They did, was more interesting then the show

OrangeLion Subs have been releasing Den-O at a steady weekly pace, really love watching this series again...I mean, to be honest, I love it. It's one of those shows I wasn't too keen on during a first watch, but when I finished and thought it over, I realized it was a blast. Nice to have some better quality subs, although I don't recall TV-N being that bad besides the don't translate the catchphrase deal.
I can't wait till they get to Yuuto and Deneb though...ah, back when the secondary Rider didn't pop up till around Episode 20 instead of 12.
EDIT: Although I guess technically many of the early Hesei Series more or less debuted their generally agreed upon secondary like by Episode 5...

We've settled into the 15-20 range at this point.
Agito: Episode 1
Ryuki: Episode 1
Faiz: Episode 11
Blade: Episode 1
Hibiki: Episode 7
Kabuto: Episode 7
Den-O: Episode 19
Kiva: Episode 9
Decade: Episode 10
W: Episode 19
OOO: Episode 16
Fourze: Episode 17
Wizard: Episode 17
Gaim: Episode 3
Drive: Episode 12
This list of all things just made me realize how fast time passes, I still remember when Den-O was the new rider and now there have been more Hesei riders after him than before him. I'm old
I think the actual date is more important than episode number for premiering secondary Riders.
The whole point of a second Rider is to have new belts and gear; and those always come out first thing in the year. And if you notice with the past Rider shows since W, the second Rider toyline always appears first thing once December ends.

Yep. Usually late December, early January. With Gaim, that's the time frame the Energy Riders dropped, so the line is still unbroken.
What did they translate ore sanjou to?

Which, you know, is usually how everyone else translated it since it fits the train motif.

I don't even get why they pull that excuse for "Ore, Sanjou!", I mean it seems like such a simple translation and it's so easy to keep the pun. If they wanted to keep it for stylish sake, fine, but don't lie.
Now I can understand the difficulty in doing Kintaros's nakeru puns...but Ore Sanjou never should've been an issue.

They could either translate or put in funny effects that make the text hard to read. Not both.
They really inserted Subs into a scene with no dialogue? That might be the dumbest thing I've seen from them.
Dino Charge is starting to air in other countries because fuck Nickelodeon. Beware spoilers.

What's gonna happen to 006? We don't see his Roidmude Form in the newer scans---which is odd. Is he the host for Banno Drive?
For some reason I thought this episode was hinting he's a "Shark Roidmude" since they focused on the shark mannequins when he was talking.
Tornado's plot was dumb as shit, but I kind of liked him due to his fashion sense and wow.

To be fair, TV-N are just following a long standing fansub tradition of not localizing cultural colloquialisms out of accuracy or some shit. They're also following the long standing tradition of being awful.

I'm really close friends with the entire Dan's Toku Rants cast, but I don't regularly listen to them (something that's been joked about between us for a good while now, heh). Anyway they're a bunch of good people who know their shit when it comes to toku.

I will check them out when I have the chance.
Have you heard of the Super Sentai Bros? They're two brothers who watch Super Sentai, or at least Dairanger for the moment. I highly recommend them.

Funny, I'm also friends with Jeremy and Spy from NPS. :lol Known Jer for nearly 10 years now, Spy too. I've only talked to Lisa a couple times, met her earlier this year (and Jeremy too), but don't really know her too well.
Thinking about it, I'm kinda surprised I haven't ended up on one of these podcasts. They're almost entirely staffed by my best friends in the world. :lol

Whoa, that's all of a sudden :/
Also a hitch-hiking robot got vandalized in Philly. I swear it's a start of a Roidmude scenario.
