I take it we probably won't get an English release of this unlike Neko Atsume because copyright?

Probably not. Would be fun to localize though. (Funny enough there's a W reference in a game I'm working on now)

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

That episode of Ghost was pretty funny...

And Grateful actually managed to be pretty cool summoning the Heroes to fight alongside him, hope that keeps up and isn't forgotten about due to budget.

Ghost 24

Wow, the crossover element actually worked into the plot. Allowing Takeru to cast aside his doubts on working with Alain after working with Yamato so well despite barely knowing him.
We also learn the Ganma Emperor is alive after all. I imagine he'll be dead soon though.

The episode was pretty damn funny though. I get the feeling Onari was hired solely for these scenes (It wouldn't surprise me if he was a professional Kabuki actor).
Also, Takeru and Yamato pointing out Bandai's laziness with the sword and gun looking the same. "We can recycle the Sunglass Slasher into the Zyuoh Blaster. We'll make millions!" I have to give credit to the creativity of the fight scene, combining the two's weapons and skills. We need more of that.

Now begins the several month long wait for the movie's Blu-Ray release and subbing.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Yeah, this crossover makes the Zoo crossover look weak in comparison.

Though I guess Zoo ep showed how that one general is more experimental.

Ghost 24

That was a pretty good episode. Goemon Onari (Goenari?) was hilarious and should come back from time to time. It was already said but the whole episode in general was pretty funny, from this weeks Monster to the crossover that happend (Red Eagle Dude's costume is pretty cool), they really made me laugh a couple of times. The heroes getting bodies and fighting with Takeru is also pretty cool.
But yea, Onari was the highlight of this episode. Let all the heroes possess him, it could be hilarious if done right.

Oh and i started Den-O, i'm only 6 episodes in but so far i like it, the main character having all those different personalities is a cool idea.

Heys guys just wanted some advice. Picked up the first volume of the new Ultraman manga and while i really enjoyed it a few of the references went way over my head.

What is the best series, like a good standalone, just to get a general sense of the character and the history of the series?

 

[Tiu Neo]

Ghost 24

We need more Goemon Onari. I hope he shows up again, since the eyecon possesses a regular character this time.

And you know what, the crossover in this was fun, and even had it's use on the plot. I'm kinda ok with it being like this. Gaim crossover was cool, but had a strange timing with the plot, and at least we didn't "lose" two full episodes like last year.

And I guess the Ghost theme is a good way to reuse old monster costumes, eh.

That "summon hero" ability was cool. I hope we see more of it in the future, good way to reuse old powers that would be forgotten otherwise.

Ultraman Mebius is the series I would recommend.

Hit the nail on the head, was a better handled anniversary series than what Toei's done lately. (better add IMO there before someone goes "nuh uh!")

 

[MHWilliams]

Fine. That's on Crunchyroll. Let's do this.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Oh right cr doesn't have the anthology

also question on rider atsume - do each of the colored orbs have a unique specialty? in neko each fish is more expensive the others and they bring more cats, but in rider atsume they are mostly around the same price (I think only one orb is different in pricing)

also I got mine via qooapp, how will it update?

Zyuohger 7

Sooo how little do the Zyuohgers show up in the KR1 movie? I read a summary on /m/ and it didn't bother mentioning them so they might not even be in it.
Takeru was a bit too enthusiastic, maybe he stopped being a sadsack after going Grateful mode? Also, how can the Zyuohgers see- oh right, show rules don't apply in crossovers. Speaking of, why does Takeru only do his spooky floating bit in crossovers?

At least we got more of Amu being adorable.

theyre animals. their perceptions are much higher.

 

[Boss Doggie]

and something about animals being able to see ghosts

maybe it's an Asian thing but my country believes in that

Fair point. At times it seems like my cats see ghosts.

You can update apps through qooapp

 

[Boss Doggie]

So I guess I'll have to reinstall qooapp then.

Crunchyroll is doing good work with the Ultraman stuff. But I hope they bring Tiga and Cosmos soon.

Not like that's a high bar =P

Nah, I think that's a common belief.

 

[javadoze]

Both shows' crossovers felt like normal episodes with the crossover parts thrown in at the last minute; the fun little exchanges here and there kinda just had me wanting a full-blown teamup. Despite ToQ/Gaim and Ninninger/Drive existing, I still feel there hasn't been a Rider/Sentai teamup yet that utilizes the premise to its full potential.

Takeru and Yamato poking fun at Bandai reusing toy molds is still pretty funny, though.

 

[WarRock]

Honestly, there is no reason to not work from the ground up with Rider and Sentai coexisting during the shows.

 

[Tizoc]

Shurkienger is the WORST 'Mega Zord' I've ever seen....
Hell the mechs that the Nin-ningers use are all so random and poorly thought out.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Honestly, there is no reason to not work from the ground up with Rider and Sentai coexisting during the shows.

Back when Rider & Sentai premiered at the same time this would be easy.

 

[Slayven]

I like how they explained the sunglasser was destroyed just to handwave a new one just appearing.....then later in the show having another one just magically appear.

 

[Faiz]

Agree and I need to support more of it with a watch.

Never did watch Mebius, guess now is the time!

 

[Tiu Neo]

New Legendary Rider Souls episode is out.

Kinda rushed, two series enemies in one episode, but at least there is some "plot".

 

[vareon]

Anyone tried Amazons yet?

Also, I'm looking for a good old toku themed April fool.

 

[BatDan]

Ghost Legendary Rider Souls 5

Rushing to the end. Two final villains in one.
At least getting Specter to do Eiji's "seiya' was kind of cool.
Final one should be Wizard... saving the worst for last.

[Tiu Neo]

So, Amazon (the original) has only 24 episodes,

and still gets a big retooling mid-way through? Well, at least it keeps things interesting.

It wasn't really that popular back then, eh?

They pretty much wanted another series as successful as the original and V3 but it never came, so X, Amazon and Stronger all have big shifts at certain points of the show. It was kind of unfair to those series though - They all performed as well or better than Goranger, but because that was a fair bit bellow the original Rider series they were considered to be underperforming (for Rider), while Goranger was seen as a success.

Those series got the short end of the stick for sure.

Amazon ended up being cancelled, didn't it?

Over-time confirmed they will be doing Amazons.

I see. Now the shift makes sense, with an organization as the new villain, Amazon learning how to talk and so on. Still has some of the things that made it unique, but it`s still a notable change.

Just watched a few episodes of Goranger, but wasn`t the budget for that a lot lower? At least the costumes - characters and monsters - make it look like so.

 

[Faiz]

Hell yah.

 

[BatDan]

I wondered how OT would balance three shows, but they say Amazons is light on dialogue so not as much work.

Leo is a total bro. Cool that they weaponized his loud voice, really shows how animalistic the zyumans are.
First Megazord tag team. Those are always awesome.

Next week:

Is that Mole Cube I spot?

 

[vareon]

I wondered how OT would balance three shows, but they say Amazons is light on dialogue so not as much work.

Even so, Amazons is only 13 episodes (albeit with twice the running time per episode). They can afford to lag a bit since there's no next series lining up, unlike the main one.

Unless they decided Kamen Rider Exes right after Amazon!

Edit: This has been floating in my timeline today.
