I can see it happening. The Rider would have a secret mobile base where the kids live too?

Well, the Gaim movie seems like it's heading to have the lowest box office ever for a Rider summer movie, so I don't think they'll touch sport themes with an actual Rider tv show any time soon.
Shouldn't hurt them, looks like they spent no money on it besides apple's suit.

There's supposed to be a 10 minute long action scene with tons of background extras (Yggdrazil soldiers vs a mercenary unit led by Bravo). That might have eaten some budget.
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
So, apparently Gaim might not air till the 23rd...but if it's pre-empted that long, I also heard they're gonna show it at an irregular timeslot on the 24th and 25th...

Yeah, I noticed KR being more involved in football (not soccer)
So that explains why Pokemon was happy

Toq-6 is such an odd character.
He is my last hope in a sea of darkness.

It just feels like the dude wandered in from a different show. I'm still trying to figure out if that's on purpose or not.
I heard he was the work of a new show runner by the name of Beet J, Sutaggu.
Yeah, he is just way to weird to be compelling. I can't even get a grasp on his personality, he doesn't seem real.
He actually does seem like something J would make up.

You see, now you make me want to watch ToQ.
Guess it'll be awhile until I can joke about Mitchy's
Grapes of Wrath.
So what Rider show should I watch in the meantime? Kuuga or Agito? Also, what Showa Riders can you recommend since I've watched none of it?
We decided to go see the new ToQ\Gaim movie today (since no super hero time) and...
Toq movie was okay! I actually think the safari power ups are the best and maybe only good thing Toq has ever done. Also, having had watched her show with my son as part of NHK's childrens block for a couple years it was weird seeing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jEsXKVANMc as a character here. It also made me realize we hadn't seen inner-kagura since like the 6th episode. Forgot that was even a thing.
Gaim was also just OK. Alternate universe BS that has no effect on the story. It was fun seeing Gaim use Banana, Donguri and Dorian arms, I guess. Soccer ties into the ending

Silver Apple turns into a fucking soccer ball and Gaim kicks it into a fiery goal destroying a fiery red apple

it really is
If Time Force is what happens when you do a 1:1 translation of a good season, Wild Force is what happens when you do the same for a bad season.
Amazon is my favorite of the Showa.

Of those two, I prefer Agito. The ensemble cast works.

Probably, whenever they run into an abstract theme like Ohranger again.
Haven't watched Kuuga yet, but if you enjoy Gaim Agito is a safe bet in my opinion.
Man, think I stopped watching it on the... third episode? Should fix that.
Kuuga if you like a Japanese Drama starring Kamen Rider in it. Agito if you like heavier stuff. Both can be super grim at times, though.
Just watched Kuuga up to episode 6 and it's pretty weird with its slow pace compared to modern Rider (but not in a bad way). The show is interesting in the sense of how the production team could do more with less. It's like a cop drama but with Kamen Rider.
With that said, the bike fight scene in episode 4
With that said, the bike fight scene in episode 4
was pretty awkward. I mean, couldn't Godai have bothered to get off his bike when he got indoors? The point of the TryChaser 2000 was to be extremely fast and to allow him to catch the Grongi, not do tricks over abandoned cars while the monster leisurely jogs away.
Samurai isn't that bad from what I remember. There are two things that REALLY bothered me in this season though:
1) Najee's thing he did with his voice. I was surprised to find out he doesn't sound like that in real life. I have no clue why he did that with his voice, but it kinda ruined his character for me.
2) Everyone's blind allegiance to Jayden because he's the red ranger. It made sense in Shinkenger but it doesn't make sense in Samurai because they didn't bother to explain it smh.
3) Ah crap, I forgot about Bulk and Spike. Those characters were so unnecessary.
Day Off has to be the best episode of Samurai though. The training Jayden had to go through to use the Beattle disc was grueling and it made you feel like he actually earned the disc's power.

Kuuga is a fantastic show in terms of atmosphere. What it lacks in flashiness it makes up for in impact. Enjoy any bike action in it, because you don't really see much of that in heisei.
So, I guess because of the lack of Gaim today, Aesir people made a broadcast watching episodes 37 and 38 of Gaim released by TV-N and commenting on the episodes/translation choices made by TV-N. I was watching something else live at the time, so I just dumped the stream to my HDD, so I could watch later.
However, I lost the first 5-10 minutes of it, so after watching the 1:20 hour stream I had (where they watched both episodes and then talked a lot about Mega Man Battle Network, it seems - I stopped watching after the gaim stuff), I went to their Twitch channel to get the archived version and watch my missing 10 minutes and... there's no archived version.
So I guessed I might as well upload the unaltered 3gb file (it would take too long for me to encode it into something else, because it's kind of a mangled file) to Mega and put it up here for whoever wants to watch it.
Hope you guys enjoy it.

Golf has never been referenced in a toku right
Saw this on a truck during lunch. Apparently the cover of a new album from the band "Greeeen" (who themselves aren't toku related but uh yeah I think I've seen that outfit before...
GreeeeN is awesome. Really loved their Setsuna PV back then, guess they're tokusatsu fan.

Wouldn't he also need to watch Jungle Fury for the OO review? Also, that's a rather short gap for RPM.
RPM is pretty short, so i could see why, and he also needs to catch up so he doesn't have to worry about falling behind.
Why? There's no more crossovers after Once a Ranger. In the Disney era that is.
I don't see him doing Dino Charge until at least 2017 since that season will end in 2016 (stupid Nickelodeon).
Neat. I know some people bash on him for the reviews, but I've always found them rather interesting.
Personally interested in how he'll end up feeling about Samurai.
It angers me when people stream stuff on Twitch and forget to check the box that says "Archive This Stream". What's the point when it's lost forever?
I've been watching Go-onger eps with my kid on youtube and what is up with the english subtitles including sentence endings like "ojaru" "zoyo" and "narina"?
What the fuck is wrong with the translators that they would leave that crap in exactly as it is said in the Japanese?
It's driving me nuts.

That's TV-Nihon for you. Experts of the half-"translated" sentence.

Yup that's TV-Nihon. You can tell they're good for english subs when their group name isn't even translated.
Daijoubu, sprsk-dono. It's just TV-Nihon-tachi's way translating things from Japanese to...less Japanese. Mou, people is fast to get annoyed!
Edit: I feel sick typing that. I need to lie down.
Do yourself a favor, watch Go-Anonger's subs.
