According to the actor that plays him, the villain of ToQger is Z. Not Zed or Zedd or Zet or Zetto
Considering how Z is pronounced in every country outside of the US, I'm surprised it took that long for people to figure out.

Gotta sync up with the movie premiere.Gaim ep 30
You know I don't mind the crossover of Gaim and Kikaider but why do they have to air this episode in the middle of a near end arc?

Well, that certainly is an...interesting...picture Google is using for Gaim.
EDIT: Also, Gaim is likely not going to be ending any time soon. According to Yutaka Kobayashi's (Kaito's) blog, as of yesterday they were still shooting:

Well, it does have at least 20 episodes left.
I suppose you haven't heard the rumors swirling around about Gaim ending early due to the World Cup?

outside of Shinken Red has there been anyother female red ranger?
toqger has female red ranger... sometimes.
just imagination!
Sup TokuGAF, quick question. Has there been any rumours as to what the next Motif or theme for KR is going to be? after Gaim that is.
Nothing. It seems like this might be like Wizard, where nothing leaks before the official reveal.
Both fruit-based and dance-based Riders were rumored before Gaim's official reveal. Those both turned out to be right, but in different ways.
It'll probably be a good three months or so before we start getting rumors for the next KR.
In three months or so the next Rider series should be beginning already. We're almost at the end of May, Gaim only has three months left.

Still not a fan of interrupting the story just to plug a movie, but Gaim 30 was pretty cute.
Do we know that for sure, though? I mean yeah, the initial delay for Gaim does mess up the schedule if Gaim were to run for a full 48-50 episodes, but at this point we don't have any indication that Gaim is going to end at ~42 episodes aside from those rumors that came from Mai and Zack's actors.
And of course there's Megaforce/Super Megaforce, where Saban has just given up at trying to tell a story.
Hello tokusatsu-gaf, got a question for you all about Kamen Rider Gaime. Is it a good show and how dark is it?
The anime club I'm an officer in has been showing episodes of Zyuranger for the past two semesters as a change of pace and to expand our member's horizons beyond just cartoons. Our members have really enjoyed it, but we are looking for a newer and slightly more serious show and Gaime has been suggested.
Our resident kamen rider expert and only person who knows anything about these type of shows is pushing gaime hard, but a few of the officers are a lil nervous since Gen Urobuchi seems to be involved. We want to show this during our Friday meetings which is advertised as being the light-hearted and friendly meeting since it is held inside a religious building. Our Wed meetings are held elsewhere and almost anything goes. So.. Gaime, is it a good show and is it dark, depressing or offensive in any way? Any other suggestions besides Gaime? Thanks!
Its serious, but not as dark as much of Gen's other stuff. Has a lot of light-hearted moments especially at the early parts of the series.
Alternatively you could watch Fourze which is pretty light-hearted for the most part. Gaim is the better show in my opinion, though.
Let me address this: Keep in mind that Kamen Rider Gaim is, first and foremost, a kid's show. It's aired on Sunday mornings. It needs to sell toys, merchandises, sausages, etc. Kids must look up to the hero. There are limitations on what it inherently can do as a kid's show.
That said, being a kid's show doesn't mean it have to suck or be shallow, and this is where Urobuchi's writing shines. Beneath the guys wearing fruit armors beating each other, there are underlying themes that we adults can appreciate. There are feelings of despair, but it was quickly overcome with hope.
So no, it's not dark (it's more serious than the recent riders though), not depressing, offensive. But it is deep, else we won't have an ongoing discussion here other than "hey this week's action is good."
These numbers represent Sentais earnings in the area designated as Toys and Hobby Business, relating overall to the toy line and not the myriad of branded items. Following up on Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, the most successful Sentai toy line since 2001′s Gaoranger, Ressha Sentai ToQgers line showed a small drop. The first half of the year is bringing in 7.0 billion yen for the brand, this is a decrease from Kyoryugers 8.5 billion yen in its first half. Overall, the line is expected to gross 12.0 billion yen by years end. These numbers would put Toqgers line above popular shows like Shinkenger but below Gokaiger.

Whoa, good for Kyoryuger.

Factoring in the entirety of the brand, including earnings generated from Sabans Power Rangers Megaforce and Super Megaforce lines, the combined Sentai/Power Rangers brand rose to 26.1 billion yen from last years 25.3 billion yen.
Kamen Ridergaim
Kamen Rider will post a leap in sales from Kamen Rider Wizard to Kamen Rider Gaim should these projected numbers hold out. Within the second half of the 2014 fiscal year, Kamen Rider Gaims toy line generated 16 billion of the years 22.3 billion yen earnings. Should the projections for 7.0 billion yen earned by the brand in Toys and Hobby Business during the first half of the fiscal year hold true, Kamen Rider Gaims toy line will show an overall earning of 23.0 billion yen, increased from Kamen Rider Wizards 19.2 billion yen. The fiscal year as a whole in this area is expected to see sales of 20.0 billion yen.
The Kamen Rider brand as a whole, including items not factored into the Toys and Hobby Business numbers such as DVDs and other branded items, continues to be strong for BandaiNamco with earnings of 26.6 billion yen. Currently, Kamen Rider is the companys second most successful brand, behind only the Mobile Suit Gundam brand. While Kamen Rider typically posts stronger toy sales than Gundam, that franchise also benefits from a larger adult fanbase that indulges in DVDs and other premium items. Thanks in large part to the Gundam Build Fighters anime, the brand was the overall top selling one as a whole and in the Toys and Hobby Business area for the first time in over five years, with Kamen Rider usually being the top selling toy line.
I know Dragon Knight bombed hard, but I'm surprised Toei isn't fast-tracking another adaptation, or at least airing it on YouTube subbed, like it does with everything Gundam.
Gundam isn't Toei though, it's Sunrise.
Been thinking that ever since episode 2. Their town disappeared and somehow they imagined themselves into adults. Cause...well, reasons.ToQger 13
Action is definitely getting better. Characters are still fairly one note though...
You know, with all these childhood flashbacks... I'm wondering if the ToQgers aren't actually adults. They're kids that due to "reasons" were aged up into adults and the reason they can see the trains is that they're really kids. Of course there's still the matter of Conductor (whose facial expressions are getting more and more over-the-top)
Next week's episode looks hilarious though, and it looks like Hikari will finally get some development (took long enough).
*sees Kamen Rider is the second most popular brand*
Really, Bamco and Toei should work something out to get the series out overseas somehow. Actor fees are a mess though...
Wow, you're fast, I'm still stuck on episode 12, I really have to catch up. So excited to finally get the entire series subbed, I had to live with HK subs way too long.Imagination Station has released episode 21 of Abaranger, guys! The next few episodes are two-parters, hence the single release, but we have something special first. XD Stay tuned! <3
