So, yeah, I heard shit goes down in Ex-Aid this week.

Can't watch till after work, though I'll probably watch Kyuranger first if it's out since I guess it comes first in terms of the cross-over elements.

So i learned Kamen Rider Amazons is going to be in the Superhero Climax movie

Judging from the preview, it REALLY goes down.

Graphite is back, in actor form. He already got his flowers in the past. We can't predict anything happening in Ex-Aid now.

ExAid 24

Number of "YOSHA LUCKY"s this episode: 2
Number of "YOSHA LUCKY"s in Ex-Aid overall: 2

...wait a minute...

Overall, it feels pretty much like a filler episode to act as a breather before plot happens next week. While I do admit

Spoiler

the reintroduction of Graphite, Poppy and new Genm CEO as villains, and the activation of Kamen Rider Chronicle

are kinda interesting, I'm feeling like dropping this show with Dan's absence (at least, waiting to see if the new direction pans out). Aside from that, there's been quite a few elements of ExAid that proved grating over time for me.

In the meantime, I guess I'll start Kamen Rider Agito.

 

[NeonZ]

His actor still hasn't gotten flowers though, and the lack of any flashback with him this episode makes it much more likely he is returning permanently (since it means he's still considered part of the show's main cast, rather than a guest).

 

[BossRush]

New CEO is great. Not as good as Dan, but still great.

You may want to check some of our recommendations in the first post of the 2015 thread =)

Over-Time is a fansub group that only deals with HD quality encodes and has a good amount of our suggestions completely subbed (and what they don't have, usually the groups in their "external links" side panel have).

Any stuff you are looking for? There is a nice variety of tones and themes between all toku shows, from Amazons to Zubat.

Thanks! I think I want to start with a Super Sentai series, since I loved Power Rangers as a kid. Something light in tone that can still be dramatic would be good. Also a series that has a strong overarching story would be good.

Looks like they are in instead of old Ishinomori characters.

Agito is the best. I picture the other Riders gossiping about how that weirdo keeps sticking his finger on fish mouths. He probably would get along with Eiji no problem.

Kyoryuger, Shinkenger, Gokaiger, and Gekiranger may be safe bets then. Personally I would suggest to pick whichever looks cooler to you.

The new Genm president is gonna turn out to be Dan in a fat suit w/ mask.

Next week Ex-Aid's OP is back with new scenes apparently.

 

[Slayven]

What bugster was the new ceo? Was he a perfect form?

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

New CEO reminds me of Nira (the GOD!) from Drive.

And that new insert song seriously hyped me up.

What bugster was the new ceo? Was he a perfect form?

Probably.

I believe he's the Dating Sim Bugster, which I think Poppy uses to become Kamen Rider Poppy.

 

[NeonZ]

What bugster was the new ceo? Was he a perfect form?

It's just speculation, but people think he's exactly the Tokimeki Crisis Bugster, considering the hearts when Popi was controlled and "Tokimeki Memorial" being the name of a dating sim.

If he's a bugster, I guess he's actually possessing a human, considering the voice change, rather than being in perfect form already.

His voice when it changes is the narrator iirc.

 

[slightconfuse]

Started watching Ex-aid.

Love the design work they did this season. A video game themed rider is a great idea.

Gekiranger or Magiranger.

Gekiranger is martial arts themed with a heavy focus on the villains (who get more character development than some of the heroes), probably my favourite sentai of the 2000s.

Magiranger is magic and family themed, the core team consists of five siblings, the series explores the characters by pairing two of them each episode and exploring how they relate to each other.

Both shows have strong stories and a dramatic revelations along the way.

 

[Parallax]

ok, given time, i think kuroto is one of my favorite toku villains. that obsession is shit i like in my comic villians, and he definetely has enough crazy to tangle with osborn and the like.

Yep. If you want something a bit lighter, I'd recommend Magiranger, but both are great choices.

If you watch Geki, use Geki-Senshi's sub, TV-Nihon subs are not understandable at all.
For Magi, well, TV-Nihon is what you have, but at least it's way better than Geki's.

 

[Boss Doggie]

tinyhenshin for Magiranger

 

[WarRock]

Gekiranger plot is amazing.

I must say I haven't finished Geki yet because they hit me with a damn filler episode in the middle of a compelling arc. Annoyed the heck out of me, but hopefully I can marathon it this week (12ish episodes left, I think), still haven't reached the infamous Christmas episode.

 

[Tiu Neo]

tinyhenshin for Magiranger

Huh, I didn't know that existed, but yeah, try that then.

I'll probably watch it again with this sub too, Magi is one of my favorite series. One of the few I marathoned part of the series because I liked the series - But then, Geki was another series I did this.

Now we just need O-T to finish subbing Deka, lol.

That makes sense

A bit late, but Toei has announced the return of........................opening clip in Ex-Aid on Episode 25! The song itself is still Excite.

Graphite

, now this!

The way they are resurrecting things, Kiriya is next and Dan right after that, right?

Spoiler

I wouldn't doubt it after Graphite being back, lol. Dan I'm sure will return, anyway.

Nah I think

Spoiler

Graphite only return because he's a Bugster. Dan was pretty much sealing up all of the defeated Bugsters in that device anyway. Unless there's a twist that says that Dan and Kiriya were Bugster all along, I doubt they'll return.

I'm still clinging onto my theory that Emu is actually a Bugster that got a human transplant and that M is his "real" personality while the doctor is just his human self.

Its the exact same weapon the Faiz Riotroopers use.

Finally vindicated.

 

[Tiu Neo]

Well, it's not like the original Amazon wasn't violent, it's just the effects that were worse. It had decaptations, desmembering and colorful monster "blood" gushing.

 

[Nudull]

Thinking about doing my first toku-con with Rangerstop, this year. So far, they got Austin St. John and Tyler from Dino Charge. They're in the final round of people voting in potential guest, so hopefully more cool folks get announced.

 

[WarRock]

I fucking love how Chou Climax Heroes did Amazon's gore: massive amounts of sparks spurting from Rider he hits.

 

[Link1110]

On all these Toku threads I see magiranger getting so much love. Maybe I should watch it. Before GAF, the site i was on absolutely hated magiranger so I never got around to it.

 

[Big One]

The original Amazon was pretty dope but weird as fuck. It was the first mystical rider pretty much so it really didn't fit with the others at all, but it was such a cool concept and setting you can forgive it.

Ex-Aid 24

I half-expected the new Genm CEO to yell out "HAPPY BIRTHDAY"
Man that last part was huge. Poppy is on the dark side now, Graphite's back, and Kamen Rider Chronicle has begun. Bring on the death game!

Also Lucky was there. Seemed pretty pointless. Probably made more sense if I watched Kyuranger first.

 

[NeonZ]

Nah Lucky's cameo in Ex-Aid just made no sense. In Kyuranger, there's a small explanation for Ex-Aid's appearance, but there was nothing setting up Lucky ending up in Ex-Aid's world afterwards.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Is there any budget information on any of the Super Sentai series?

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Magiranger has it's ups and downs, but I enjoyed it.

Cast interview for Kyoryuger Brave. Almost all the actors for this production are bilingual.

According to the description, starting from 4/14, Bandai will be uploading episodes of the Japanese version to watch for free on their channel. Bandai doesn't region lock their content so that means it should be easy for sub groups to work on!

Any word on a new Battleride game?

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Scans are out for Ex-Aid and Kyuranger...

Ex-Aid

Spoiler

Mainly focused on Perfect Knockout, but Kiriya is getting a Hyper Battle DVD special.

Kyuranger

Spoiler

Purple Ranger is of course Xiao. And the bear is, as people guessed, the older kid from the first Earth-based episode.

 

[javadoze]

Scans

Kyuranger's

Spoiler

RyuuCommander looks pretty cool. Purple with a touch of gold and a longcoat make for one of the best Kyuranger suits in my opinion. Koguma SkyBlue also looks nice for the scarf too.

Ex-Aid...

Spoiler

I wish the mass-production suits didn't look like Ex-Aid with brown paint and a bowlcut. The Mages from Wizard looked better than this...

 

[WarRock]

SkyBlue helmet looks so good. Commander bodysuit looks like crap :V And is that wolf a headswapped Xiao? Budget concerns indeed...

Also, stage shows are the best.

 

[Tiu Neo]

So, (Kyurangers)

Spoiler

that kid is the 11th? Eh. I'm not a fan of kid members, but maybe it'll work this time. ToQ kinda worked, but the kids were so underused that there wasn't really much time for them to become annoying.

 

[Kard8p3]

Is Kyurangers worth watching? Last sentai I watched was geki lmao. After the twitch stream though, I'm craving more.

 

[Slayven]

If I hit the power ball, I am going to bankroll a Gridman reboot. For it's time the suits and FX was amazing
