Who wore it better? Decade Complete, Gokai Silver Gold Mode, Fourze Cosmic States or Drive Type Formula?

Cosmic states at least has a purpose for all of the switch numbers on its touch-panel chest.

 

[KingDirk]

Man, Cosmic States is easily the best out od that list.

(Dear Lord though I always expected the heads on Gold Mode to start screaming)

 

[Tiu Neo]

I think Cosmic States and Formula did it better than the others, if anything, for being a bit more subtle about it.

 

[Boss Doggie]

man compared to Drive's, Ghost's movie previews are lazy

fuck, Sage is just standing there doing nothing

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Cosmic States out of that list.

Grateful Ghost and Kiwami Gaim belong in this list!

Though I still prefer Cosmic States.

 

[Slayven]

When is the Ex Aid press thingy?

 

[WarRock]

Grateful Ghost and Kiwami Gaim belong in this list!

Though I still prefer Cosmic States.

I completely forgot about Kiwami and still haven't reached the Grateful debut!

Say, I was reading Ex Aid stuff again and saw that he has to heal people infected by Bugsters' virus. This setup is pretty common in modern Rider/Sentai, isn't it? Instead of just defeating the monster of the week (that may not even be harming people directly, sometimes it's destroying mail posts, plastic chairs or whatever), the objective of the episode/two parter is rescuing or saving civilians. That wasn't the standard plot of older toku, where killing kaijin was the most common objective... or am I just misremembering things?

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

When is the Ex Aid press thingy?

Next month at least. I tried and looking for anything specific, but that is all I know.

 

[delSai]

I wonder what the Japanese are thinking about Ex-Aid.

 

[javadoze]

When is the Ex Aid press thingy?

Sometime August. As for the show's production staff, that should be revealed come August 1st when the official Kamen Rider Ex Aid website unveils (like how Ghost and Zyuohger previously did).

Kinda? On older series, a lot of times, the main character(s) had to help the person/kid (ugh) of the week, or try to stop the villain's plan of the week... It's just that most of the times, everything was solved when the monster was killed.

Super Sentai not so much, aside from a few exceptions like Zyuranger, but Showa era Kamen Rider often had victims of the week (although in series like V3 and Black they were always children or young teenagers) to be rescued or protected.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Though in Black Kotaro has a foresight to immediately blame the incident on Golgom.

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

Decade was a mistake. Watched the finale and read the movie plot. What a let down.

On to Amazons next. I'll watch S1 then jump back to Drive

 

[Tiu Neo]

Bioman... It's a pretty fun series. I'm on episode 10 now, and

while I knew Yellow would die, thanks to Akibaranger, I didn't expect it to be so soon. Strange episode, too, did she have a fight with staff members or something like that?

Of course, EVERYTHING is Golgom's fault.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I'm really enjoying Orb so far. It's a show with a good idea and a good main character.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Ultraman Orb 4

This cast has really grown on me. SSP gives me some mad Fourze KRC vibes.

Ohranger DVD set box art

There's going to be a bunch of people wondering "Why are there Japanese people in the Zeo costumes?"

Interesting thing, at my local Meijer (midwestern Target/Walmart style supercenter), they're actually selling the Kakuranger DVD. I never thought I'd see that in a store like that.

No one actually knew why she left. And apparently to this day her whereabouts are unknown.

And yeah, it really is Golgom's fault.

Oh, that explains a lot. Must've been a weird situation for everyone, then.

And she was one of my favorite characters, too...

 

[Boss Doggie]

So the Bird Man from Zyuohger is collecting various cube weapons, he already has Cube Cheetah.

And his name is Bad/Bud (from Japanese pronunciation of bird - baado).

 

[vareon]

Just realized we haven't got any picture of the new guy here.

hmm so director isn't Sakamoto but from Wizard (Nakagawa). Well, choreography wasn't the problem of Wizard at least, gotta know who the writer/s are though.

apparently they'll use game related cgi and sfx for the show

EDIT: writer is Yuya Takahashi. No toku background it seems.

 

[Emperor_EL]

Watched Garo Ashura the other day. Was a lil let down by the lack of wrestling moves but that finisher more than made up for it.

Orb 4

Are Ultraman support characters always this great? I hope we see Gai and the team interact more, those were great this episode.

Called it with Ohmori being the producer (though it seems this time around, he's not the chief producer, but rather Sasaki Motoi from TV Asashi... weird).

That said, I have absolutely no idea what to expect with Yuya Takahashi (hopefully he doesn't go ghost like Takuro Fukuda has).

Yuya Takahashi did the Type Tokujo specials for Kamen Rider Drive..

Apparently, the main producer changed to Sasaki Motoi from Tv Asahi with Ghost episode 39. So, there's some behind the scenes shuffle going on.

Was that the thing with Tanahashi?

Takahito Ohmori will produce the show. Ohmori was previously the chief produder on Kamen Rider Drive and Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger. Sasaki Motoi from TV Asahi is credited as chief producer. Yuya Takahashi will serve as head script writer. Takahashi previously wrote the Type Tokujo specials for Kamen Rider Drive. He has written various J-Dramas as well as the Sentai-inspired Eight Ranger movies and served as the head writer on last year’s Lupin the III Part 4. This will be Takahashi’s first full tokusatsu series. Shojiro Nakazawa, head director on Juuken Sentai Gekiranger, Samurai Sentai Shinkenger, Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, Kamen Rider Wizard, Ressha Sentai ToQger, and Shuriken Sentai Ninninger will direct.

 

[vareon]

Not really feeling the staff. As of now, a potato could write a Kamen Rider series since the show writes itself with its toy schedules. Looking at the Producer-Director-Writer I don't feel they're trying anything different.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I guess the Sakamoto thing was just a rumor

The Tv-Asahi producer now is the main producer of the tv show, rather than Toei's unlike in previous years. The writer also is new to the franchise. Only the director really is "nothing different".

I like this lineup. I stopped liking Sakamoto around Mega Max even though I love that movie.

Any actor rumors for Ex-Aid?

Supposedly this winner from last year's Junon Boy contest, but not much else in the way of rumors.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Well considering the whole plot I was hoping around Shinnosuke's actor, or at least something like Shotaro's actor.

 

[WarRock]

Shojiro Nakazawa, head director on Juuken Sentai Gekiranger, Samurai Sentai Shinkenger, Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, Kamen Rider Wizard, Ressha Sentai ToQger, and Shuriken Sentai Ninninger will direct.

Eeeeeehhhh. Talk about a mixed record.

I was hearing the same thing.

 

[Jeffrey]

lol people here should really watch Ultraman Ginga S. The way the fight choreography is done is hilarious. Sakamoto wants to do his signature quick action, but at the same time, ultraman has generally been about slowing down the action to like 1/3 speed, so there is random cuts of quick action and slow stuff, and it looks really weird.

Still a blast though.

Marathoning these ultraman shows is like, I'm reliving a childhood I never had or something, more so than modern sentai or kamen rider.

 

[Slayven]

Started Orb and already the side characters feel more fleshed out then other Ultra shows.

New player start-o. Show keeps getting better and better. Bunglay seems to have a mind-reading power that can bring your memories to life. Good way to recycle the old monsters.

Next week looks so good.

Finally some more answers. Yeah, looks like Sage and Eadith were the same person. That's resolved. All that "history repeats" stuff though...
At least Adel didn't surrender to the power of friendship, and will remain the big bad. Unless Igor stabs him in the back and takes over.
