There are some scans with the mecha toys. It looks... ok? Not bad, but the spheres are kinda weird. Let's see in action.

This is what I felt too when I saw them.
If the main mecha can't separate in battle for weird attacks. I will be disappointed

Well, they can mix and match the arms and legs, so that's a possibility?
I hope to be wrong, but even if they do that, it'll be for one episode in the first few, and later the mecha battles will be same old.
Remember when final attacks had some style?

Oh so he's called Kamen Rider Para-DX
The kaiju lingo is amazing. Took me a few seconds to get why they use Goj instead of God, not to mention all the mecha references. "Don't go all five lions on me", heh.
I don't know this, but what a gorgeous illustration.
RIP practical effects.

to be honest the only mecha finisher I like is Maskman's Galaxy Robo. That flying aura chop is so unique to it, I don't think even Gekiranger had that.

Also the level of puns Para-DX has
DX (deluxe) is used generally as a marketing hype suffix, but it also means "better" as far as its context in gaming is, so essentially Pallad's Rider form is "better", at the same time you could argue it's selling the "DX" version of the multiple Dual Gashats
Para is a medical suffix much like "-aid".
And of course, pronouncing it is "paradox" - a self-contrarian state (maybe because he is both a fighter and a puzzle-solver?)

A third season is coming.
We should get a teaser today right?
Boss Doggie

Yeah we got an extra ep after all.

I think it doesn't air today? At least I didn't count it on the five episodes. If it does, 49.
But yeah, we'll probably get a teaser on the next episode.
Me too; but modern Kamen Rider has taken their niche on TV and the actual franchise stays on movies nowadays. Their next one is this summer at least, with Gavan vs Dekaranger.
Better than nothing, for sure. It would be awesome though to see an actual modern take on what a Metal Hero show would look like nowadays. With modern design aesthetics (unlike the zero changes done to the 70's era costume design of the movie "rebirth" of Gavan, etc), and modern special effects techniques.
Shit would be amazing.
Current TV ratings for Zyuohger are out:
Yeah. 3.48% and on track to do worse than Ninninger in both ratings and toy sales. No wonder TV Asahi's taking over production duties for Sentai and Rider.

I can see it, it's not that exctiing nor does it have stand out characters. It's not a bad show, but it doesn't blow you away either. It is like a the accountant of sentai shows.

Hm, last series that wasn't a decline in ratings was... Shinkenger, if I remember correctly?
Well, let's hope Kyuranger's uniqueness helps the series, at least to keep it alive for a few more years.
(And yeah, I want another Metal Hero, even if some of the modern KR series do a lot of things like older MH series did. Do something like Amazons, but for a new MH, please, Toei)

That does not look good at all. I would think that more people will like the new series but I guess not.

The Hentai Kamen movies are weird(not just for the obvious reasons). Yuki from Fourze is in them but she almost never smiles, she always looks sad like Koyomi from Wizard.
Also, Escape from Go-Busters is in the 2nd one in a role she's perfect for, "Fine ass Professor".

Don't forget about Ultraman too. I think that franchise is growing.
Part of that is Tsuburaya being cool with simulcasting the series on Crunchyroll.
KR and Sentai might have a wider reach if Toei allowed that, but Toei and their IPs are like pulling teeth. It took far too long for Dragon Ball Super to get a simulcast.

At least we have the Sentai box sets coming out. I think Toei's deal with Amazon might help them in the long run.
Waaaaaaait they made a second one? I loved the first.
Boss Doggie

no, it's the toys
the actual zyumen plushies were apparently a hit
the toys just don't have a collectible aspect to it so it is selling badly

2nd one came out earlier this year & I remember reading somewhere that the makers wanted the series to be a trilogy so they might be making a 3rd.
It's not like the number of children in Japan is growing, too. Couple that with the shitload of alternative entertainment they have.

I really hope the whole Ohranger subtitle kerfluffle didn't put a halt to future releases.

They might be extra careful from this point on.

What I would like to see is just an agreement to use the fansubs going forward like how Xseed used the fan translation for some of the Y's games. Not exactly a 1/1 thing here, but it's a nice thought.

That is what I hope they do. I feel like they might talk to the people who made the fansubs for future projects.
THose are legit movies?

There was Twitter talk between Shout and the fansubbers then silence. We can't speculate after that, and no Carranger announcement yet so.. <that's also not their sub>

If you're fond of Ryohei Suzuki that assessment isn't terribly far off!
Niiiiice.
Nah man, Hentai Kamen is a wacky shonen hero. Usual panties gags from shonen manga and stuff.

fuckin' called it, man
Anymore on this TV Asahi taking over production thing?
