bad gameplay lol
I noticed that too. Also all the belt sound effects seem to have this weird reverb effect to them. It's especially noticeable on the Faiz stuff.
And like, remember in Megamax when all of Shotaro's lines when he was transformed sounded like they were recorded over the phone or something? It's really bad.
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Damn, Gaim was pretty violent this week.
This is basically true for all Japanese movies.
Please tell me you're joking.

Holy fucking shit this episode was a giant ball of awesome! The powder keg has finally exploded,
. It can't even be stated how fucking awesome this episode was!

RIP Roshuo and Redyue. Also Roshuo wrecks Kachidoki lockseed only for Kouta to reforge it w/ his Overlord powers and proceed to curbstomp the fuck out of Redyue.
It's only going up after this.

Hell yeah it is.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
So how many eps are left
Six at most, but we don't know if any episodes might get pre-empted or be special non-series episodes like the last two of Wizard were.
Didn't Shotaro's voice always had that "behind the mask" type sound effect during the show?
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
Nooooo, not like this. Go watch the W section of Megamax and you'll clearly hear how bad Shotaro's ADR is. It stands out really, really bad.

I think what happened in Megamax was that they added an effect to disguise the Showa Riders' replacement voices, but then for consistency's sake just gave it to transformed W too.

What was the red Overlord that Kouta killed when he first got Kiwami? That was the Kaito one.
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
Demushu. And yeah, that was the Kaito one.
Who was Reshue?

I really don't see how
The only thing that the Overlord translations revealed is that
There are thematic connections between the overlords and the main cast, but I don't think that means Demushu, for example, was someone called "Kaito"in the other world before becoming an Overlord. For one, it's been noted that the Overlords didn't have Earth's technology in their world, so their world would be very different from modern Earth even before Helheim's appearance. Still, the most obvious direct inconsistency is Reddue. She's pretty clearly meant to parallel Micchy, but Reddue is apparently female
, not male.
Roshuo, who seems to parallel Takatora, isn't related to Reddue, nor did Takatora have any loved one similar to Roshuo and the queen, so it's not like the comparison is exact. It's more a matter of themes. Takatora saw a shadow of himself in Roshuo when he learned that he chose a path that would sacrifice his world's people, saving a few worthy ones, just like he originally intended to do, and that just resulted in ruins.
the queen was Mai. Different actress for one. But, if you think they'd chose a different actress to show that she's aged, why does she have a different outfit, jewels, hair color and accessories from the other Mai?
The only thing that the Overlord translations revealed is that
the word they use to reference their race would be translated to "human". That's it. There has been no direct connection to Yggdrazil or Zawame at all in the Overlord dialogue, just that they consider themselves humans.

Redue was Micchi's counterpart
Kouta's
was the movie Rider, Lapis(according to Kouta's actor)
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
You mean Redue? Clearly Micchy.
It's not hard. I mean, they ARE kinda color coded.
Demushu = red = Kaito (Cares only about strength/fighting)
Roshuo = white = Takatora (Doing what they think is right even if it costs countless lives,
died at the hands of someone that was supposed to be their comrade
Redue = green = Micchy (Manipulative and duplicitous)
Kouta has an equivalent blue Overlord, but he's only in the movie.
Damn, Gaim keeps delivering. On one hand, I want to know what happens next, NOW. On the other hand, I don't want it to end.
Still, can't believe that everything happened so quickly. Did expect the constant repetition of the 'girl gives Roshuo' scene to lead to
, but not so early. How many episodes are left? There number of players remaining in the game seem to be shrinking faster than the remaining episode count...
Yeah, that's an unfair bait and switch, IMO. Unless the plot was rewritten as the series went on like all the other Rider series...

Oh, also, a bit of actor trivia about
: She's
the queen
Pierre's real-life wife.

There are 6 episodes left if Drive starts in the first week of the October, like the toy schedule indicates, and there aren't any special Drive/Gaim crossover episodes between them. That number drops if there are any crossover episodes.
Although, considering how Drive hasn't even been officially announced yet, even though Gaim had been announced by this point, I guess there's a chance Drive could start even later than the first week of October. The toy release schedule indicates that Drive is starting in the beginning of October, but there's a small chance we could get something like Gaim proper ending in September and then some crossover episodes in the beginning of October, so they'd be able to promote Drive even before the actual Drive tv show starts.
I always thought
Rosho was going to transfer the consciousness of his queen into Mai, turning Mai into a vessel for her. He capturing Mai reinforced that.

Toqger got really good these last 3 weeks. Episode 24 had some pretty good tension and I like how they're
if it stays this good the show might be headed to top tier Sentai.
taking the offensive a bit more heading into enemy territory to look for their home. I wanna know what's gonna happen with the villains too

W is quintessential vanilla Rider. Start there.
Then hit Gaim if you want to know what shit was like in the Agito/Faiz/Blade days.
Yeesh, this week's Gaim episode is on full force.
Next week,
and
I can't expect much for Drive, since it might not go the same episodic formula like Gaim was.
But damn, Gaim is awesome.
It's kinda interesting that it wasn't NotMai as the queen, yet a "new" one appeared
Next week,
Micchy
his ever growing SNK boss syndrome becoming more crazier
I can't expect much for Drive, since it might not go the same episodic formula like Gaim was.
But damn, Gaim is awesome.
Hahah. Now I'm picturing him shooting tons of projectiles, bullet hell style.
By the way, all of you are questioning about the queen, but what I really want to know is who/what is
Sagara
I fucking miss those days.. one of reason I love Gaim so much.
Gaim 41
Waaaaait. If
Surprised to see
On another note, Jonouchi and Oren are still awesome (dat acorn sparkling assist).
Waaaaait. If
Redue I'd dead, then how will Mitchy get the Yomi lockseed?
Surprised to see
all of the overlords getting killed off (minus Kouta and the almost-overlords). Interesting how the villains have changed from beat-riders to Yggdrasil to overlords and back to riders again.
On another note, Jonouchi and Oren are still awesome (dat acorn sparkling assist).
I guess he either:
- uses the machines somehow
- Ryoma assist
-
his resolve is enough to do it, like Kouta
he gets a fraction of the Golde Fruit power somehow
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
My money's on this one.
Ryoma's got to be doing something with all that "data" of his.
Hmm, maybe
the slight gold trim on the Yomi lockseed indicates that it's an imitation of the forbidden fruit's power or that of the Kiwami lockseed.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
It was told that Sagara will be in next week too
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
Sagara is the snake.
Mai takes a bite of the Golden Fruit and becomes notmai (because notmai is actually Mai and not the person we saw last episode). Thus throwing the current world into total chaos. (Basically what ever happens in the whole garden of eden tale)
Mitchy.
Huh, didn't catch that.
Wait, you mean that wasn't Mai?
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
You...couldn't tell the difference between Mai and an actress who is 21 years older?
This makes sense. Ryouma could once again
be using Micchy as a test subject in order to develop an upgrade for himself. Maybe he ends up being the final boss rather than Kaito?
