Watch Da Birdie

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Holy shit holy shit holy shit...

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
As a hobbyist and parent of a child who loves this shit, I hate having to buy all of those little itty bitty accessories to complete my set. Using Gaim's lockseeds as an example.

The easy solution is to do what my parents did: Don't buy your kid anything. :p

I thought I was caught up on Gaim...anyone care to PM me where the heck they are watching Gaim Ep 31/32 subbed? I thought only 30 was out but folks are talking about Kiwami and something big goin' down in 31.

Last I saw was when Kikaider showed up and fought Hakaider like a boss.

Awesome redesigns btw.

It's not out subbed. The Kiwami talk is coming from scans/movie previews and the 31 talk is because some people watch Gaim live as it airs in Japan.

Ah. Good to know then, because I'm pretty busy and I'd likely be staying up to even watch it. Gotta say Gaim is pretty awesome. BTW anyone else hear about the new successor to Gaim having itself named already?

KAMEN RIDER DRIVE

No info on the rider or its premise yet, but it sounds like a solid name for a Rider. Wondering just what this one's gimmick will be. Sounds like cars, but Rider's are about Motorcycles...

I told this to my friend who doesn't really stand tokusatsu, but really loves the original Kamen Rider Black, and he said "why didn't they call just it Kamen Driver?" and I agree. I hope it's not cars.

Also, somebody said something about the ToQers being kids themselves, and that totally makes sense. I bet that Z was the kid that the protagonists didn't allow into their Secret Base and thus why he became evil.

SInce its rumor season again and we already got the name Kamen Rider Drive who here remembers some of the competing Rider pitches that were rumored before various shows were announced?

I still remember Kamen Rider Break being a rumor before Gaim won out. Involved dancing and fighting ghosts called "boogies". I believe the theme was a two tone samurai sword that would supposedly fuse together powers somehow (though that last bit may have been a seperate thing and not part of the Break info back when it got spread).

I also remember before Wizard was shown that their was heavy hinting that the next series would be based around the theme of Art and possibly paintings.


Anyone remember any other rumors or Rider pitches that never made it to air?
 

A Pretty Panda

fuckin' called it, man
Roshou's stupid reasoning reminds me of Fueki's stupid reasoning and I don't like it.

I thought the Toqgers being kids or some variant was really obvious since like episode 1.

I remember the rumored look of Den-o before the name and concept had him looking like a ninja
 
Wasn't there foreshadowing that Gaim wouldn't be the only one with a final form?

The ep Ryoma meet Kaito & Kouta, didn't he show them sketches of lockseeds/drivers "not approved"?

Baron Lemon was a kludge, and if anyone else was getting a final form it'd be Baron.

I expect someone will turn into a Super-Invess though. Just a matter of who.
 

BatDan

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
Soooo... I have now dived into Kamen Rider.

Kamen Rider W (first 6 episodes)

Pretty cool so far.
Not a fan of Akiko (hopefully she improves)
But Shotaro and Phillip are awesome. Especially Phillip, he's basically BBC Sherlock with the mind palace.
I adore the sound that plays when they transform and change memories.
The fights are good, when it actually uses the costumes. When the CGI appears it looks silly.

Current Rumors I've heard

Kamen Rider Drive
-Uses Keys similar to how Gaim Used locks for different powers

Kyoryuger US Power Rangers adaptation

-Cyan=Played by Bulk
-Gold=Played by Skull



Dat rumor-mill seems to be on full in the various boards. Key thing sounds reasonable though.

Didn't the casting report for Dino Charge Gold say that he was going to be a British knight from 900 years in the past? Basically, a Western version of Utchi.

I'm hoping that the lack of Cyan in the casting means they got Robert Baldwin.
No more Bulk & Skull please, we don't need anymore nostalgia wanking.

It did. It also said he's 18-19.

Gaim ep 31
Holy shit what a ride this episode is with the action. Roshuo totally curbcrushstomp
Sid
like he is nothing. RIP
I'm pretty damn sure Roshuo's lover in the coffin is the lady of beginning aka Mai.

Oh god, I can't wait for Kiwami arms next week. Hopefully it's on par with Kachidoki arms reveal.

Not much to add to the discussion except that Gaim continues to be awesome. Definitely something I look forwards to each week.

Still wondering what/who Sagara is, and if he has an ulterior motive. (Probably, given how complex the story is overall.) Kaito's actions obviously don't match his words, so he definitely believes in something beyond just "the strong crush the weak blah blah", and Micchy now getting to play politics with Overlords as well? Welp!

Literally everyone I've ever met who've watched W say that about Akiko, but almost everyone warms up to her by the end.

There's another character coming up soon that has the same deal, everyone hates him and then grows to like them.

No one else says "HEN-shin" in that weird way, but he has one of the better upgrade forms.

I seem to remember Kamen Rider Blood/Vlad before it was Kiva, Atlas before Kabuto. Fourze was also supposed to incorporate a lot more of the original riders IIRC?

Nowaday's rumors are tame compared to what was before Decade. Shit was wild.

And goddamit office hours why don't you go away quickly so I can Gaim.

Yes, Fourze was supposed to feature urband legends about past Riders to tie with the 40th anniversary. The idea was nixed in pre-production because they felt Decade was still too recent then.

I remember those.

The two-tone sword rumour came once the name Gaim was revealed, but before the fruit theme was apparent. I remember something about the MC being an small-time actor whose family was old samurai nobility, and he'd run into various Rider actors from the other shows playing caricatured version of themselves (like Ricky Gervais' Extras and Life's Too Short). Because Gaim in this rumour was a proper anniversary show, he would henshin / change forms by plugging a stamp with a particular KR show symbol into the bottom of the sword.

And a hint of that original premise still made it into the show. Gentaro took the name "Kamen Rider" from urban legend videos of past Riders on the internet. It was in episode 2 I believe.

EDIT: Damn, looking for pictures of that I'm struck by how much I miss Fourze's ensemble cast.

Gaim 31 is the first one I watched in a while. If the whole Superhero time is not interesting, it kills interest in both for me.

I didn't like him at all until his solo movie, and then I loved him. I never minded Akiko though, I thought she was funny and put Shotaro in his place.
 
lol, I was reading this when I noticed a familiar picture. Didn't realize MHWilliams is a USGamer writer.

Heh heh. I am indeed. I don't hide it, but I don't shout it from the rooftops either. My profile on here isn't as high as Jason Schierer or Jeremy Parish (gamespite), but I am around.

Generally, I spend most of my time in Off-Topic though, with TokuGAF being the thread I check the most.
