Yeah. Fourze's section is pretty great (not to mention Fourze actually takes a lot of inspiration from Inazuman himself). Wizard's section is an amazing example of what Wizard ideally could've been. Just having Haruto on his own really brings out a lot of his charm and potential as a Rider protagonist.

Following the advice of Tokugaf I will be watching the following next.
Everyone said I needed to finish what I started with these and that is just what I'm doing now. I'm back in on Kuuga at episode 5 right after he got the Trychaser 2000. Gotta say he really showed some skillful motorcycle skills. First time I ever saw and Extended sequence where a character performed stunt bike climbing tricks to corner a fast villain. No effects, just good biking. Neat.
Akibaranger I left off on somewhere early...I remember the drunk episode and the episode with the cosplay mom so I'll start coming the early ep wikis to find out where I left off.
Wish me luck Toku-gaf as my journey continues. Excelsior.

I wanna say that Kuuga is the only Heisei rider that uses his bike
(?)
You'd probably be right. I remember looking at the Gaim riders using their bikes in their movie and thinking "wow, this has more bike action than the show itself!"
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
Momo Ninja's in it
*cross checks the actress* Ooh she's moved up to a main character now. Neat.
I feel like I need to watch Gekiranger. If only because I think they have my favorite roll call.
Great series and had one of the best finale battles. That shit was so personal and raw.
It baffles me how anyone can find that acceptable.
No, not only acceptable, but fucking preferred to actual translation.
Weaboos
One of my favorite line ups.
If you don't mind not knowing what Jan's saying at times unless you memorize the translation, it's fine. It didn't lessen my enjoyment or stop me from understanding what was going on so I say go for it.
Terui Ryu the show? I would welcome this, but not before we got another Space themed Sentai or PR season, preferably PR season.
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Some people freak out because they translate the team to "WildRanger" iirc, as well as all the monster names (they're anagram of the animal they're based off of, so Maku, one of the main villains that's a bear, is called Arbe) but I found it acceptable.
This picture makes me very kichikichi
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
That's not even a problem because the episodes have two sub tracks. One that translates it to WildRanger and translates the attack names, etc., and another track that leaves it as Gekiranger and doesn't translate the attack names and such.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I wonder of toku can be translated well as a cartoon.
No Samurai Flamenco didn't play it straight so no.

You're right, Samumenco played it gay. Very, very gay.
Man, those moves. I wish I can move like that.
In other news, I'm really happy to see electronics on the robo toys again. Singing robot toys!

Kamen Rider Kuuga EP 5
Wow. Okay I am REALLY digging the story telling in this. I don't think I've ever seen a Rider handled so realistically in everyone's reactions. Them doing a medical examination and saying his body is growing new nerves, strengthening muscles and its extremely pronounced in his right leg was pretty awesome. More awesome was that everyone was nervous about this happening because no one knew what in the hell it could lead to. I like the aspect that these changes are extremely unsettling to folks and they aren't certain if he is a threat, in danger, or fine.
I also REALLY liked how in this episode and in the past when he got a new color he had no clue whatsoever what it meant or how to use it and lost. Because of need his body responded and gave him the blue form to jump, but he didn't know it would weaken his striking. He thought that it might just mean his kicks were stronger, but it didn't work and he got destroyed.
This is GOOD stuff. Having a new power and trying to figure out if its going to kill you medically or just what in the hell you can do. Every other Rider show I can remember they'd get a power and instantly just know how to use it and they'd be performing ridiculously over the top stuff with no thought. Seriously Drive? You're just gonna jump at a speeding car because instinct says you'll perform Maximum Spider or something as an attack? Who does this?!
Kuuga's story telling is great so far and I'm just 5 eps in. It really feels like folks trying their best to learn and adapt to changes they don't understand. The girl translating text looks like it may aid Kuuga in figuring out what to try and how his body is changing and works which will come in handy for the show since you can't have as many forms as Kuuga and replay the hapless hero too often. At some point he has to get a handle on things and learn what to try. So long as he doesn't always blowout his enemies and he still has those awesome midfight moments where his body is different and he's struggling in the fight trying to figure it out it'll be great.
Thanks for pushing me to go on GAF.

Gaim is getting a reissue when Yomi Ryugen gets released, so if you really wanted him, now is your chance.
Yep, if you liked it this way you're in for a treat.
actually kind of surprised you didn't import the sentai mechas. im a huge cheapass, so I could never do that (exception is gobuster not coming here).
That's why I bought them, and besides, Zordbuilder is pretty fun.
you can also buy sticker sheets from mod community and just paint the missing gold and silver with a gold/silver sharpee.
good stuff.
Yeah, I saw the stickers for the SMF Aux zords, pretty nice with the panel lines they left for us to detail.
It's like those shitty consoles you hook up to a tv that they sell in grocery stores. I always felt bad for kids who those.

Dang...and here I was hoping Summonride would be good. They should just go full on Ganbaride with a Magic the Gathering style cardgame. Sell decks with each bundle and sell packs for moves. Folks could go random pack or themed packs from various series.
Sigh...the things I'd have to look up to play it though. It'd be pretty awesome.

A failed attempt if you ask me, just like the SMF game figures.
HOly crap i forgot abou tthose.

Does Tiger Ranger ever have the same pose? I swear every time I see a different Zyuranger roll call his is the changing constantly.

Taking some liberties there with translations, I see.

It's a combination of literal and liberal translations, and it's really odd. Most of the lines are trying to be as condensed and quick to read as possible, then you have a few lines that are long because of literal translations. It makes everything stand out, and not in the best way.

They weren't timed correctly. Which is kind of terrible, considering that you'd think they'd be put through some kind of QC before SF approved it. The timing seems to be fine in the actual episodes (from other previews), so I don't know what happened to this promo.
A Q&A with Christopher Khayman Lee (Andros from In Space)
He has seen Megaranger.
The one thing he got from Saban was an action figure
Turns out he couldn't keep props because Jason David Frank stole a lot of them. And people still defend him?
