I was talking about the "posse", not the characters. The characters pretty much trump Wizard's already
Like how you know who is who in Kamen Rider Club in Fourze or Wizard's gang in Wizard.
I mean, I still don't know who the other dancers in Team Gaim are
The man is on the Forbes 400, surely he has some money to spare on bigger projects...
By the way, I heard that they're going to do another attempt at bringing Kamen Rider to the states. Calling it "Power Rider" or something. That's just a rumor right?
He has it, doesn't mean he will spend it. Look at the sucky contracts he tried to give the returning rangers.
I heard the contracts were bad, but how bad are we talking?

Rat (blondish dude), Rika (chubby chick), Chucky (the tomboy who looks like Micchy). Keep up Doggie.
It was trademarked by Saban, with the rumors being that they were going to tackle Fourze, but that's fizzled out as of now. I'm curious how much longer before Toei fully gives in to Saban though, Kamen Rider is gaining a bit of ground.
I think Rocky said he would actually end up losting money because of the time he would have take off and I think Saban not paying for accommodations.
that power rider rumor has been in effect since fourze

I was talking about what they do or something, like you know what to associate with them.
Like you know JK is the fabulous one, Kengo is the science guy, Yuuki is the space nerd, Miu is the idol/rich girl, Shun is the jock, and Tomoko is the weird girl. Or like you know Shunpei is the comic relief, Rinko is the cop girl, Koyomi is that doll girl, and Wajima is the old man.
Like, most of them are flat characters but at least you can easily tell what they do. But then again I guess they need an actual group of characters to be a dancing group despite focusing on a certain cast.
Gotcha. I guess we'll wait and see.
Wow! Sounds awful.
"Sir, the next Power Rangers season is based on a huge Super Sentai season that celebrated 35 years. They brought in so many old actors to reprise their roles. We should do the same!"
"Hmm, do it as cheap as possible. I'm sure Jason will agree for free, that wash-out is so obsessed with that role"
Hell, Jason David Frank probably paid them.
The latest kyoryuger, while nice, seemed a little rushed.
It's almost as if we had enough story to fill two episodes. You can see when they're hurting for time when there isn't much dead time on the transformations.
obviously, it doesn't help that I didn't watch the movie, so I didn't recognize or understand much of what was happening by heart. Still, it was a great episode. I don't think Kyoryuger has had any bad episodes per say.
I'm going to miss it.

Yeah, it was in the pre-release information. I think only Rat's been actually named so far in the show. There's two other Gaim dudes, but they don't talk since I assume they're not considered actual cast members really.
Rat's the mood maker, Chucky's the main dancer, and Rika's the cheerleader. I actually think Rat's a cool dude, and apparently he's supposed to get an episode soon where the one all-female team try and trick him, or so the rumors say.
Then Team Baron has Zack as Kaito's second-in-command, aka the BA-BANANA! dude, and then Peco is the ass with the slingshot.
Do you guys just not pay attention to the press releases?
A Pretty Panda

The ones who are not Kota, Micchi, or Mai seriously do nothing. I'm surprised any of them were named in show.
I don't think giving personality gimmicks is Urobuchi's style. Even Kouta didn't have a clear, single sentence of distinction to him. Unlike The Guy Who Really Liked Plain Sugar Donuts or The Delinquent Who Wanted To Befriend Everyone.
You have to remember, in Fourze, those characters were the supporting characters to the two Riders along with perhaps Kengo and Yuki (well, even Meteor is almost a supporting character too). In Gaim, the secondary RIDERS (and Mai, etc) are the supporting characters, while the main riders are the main characters. The "flat characters" are tertiary at best. Actually, to parallel Fourze, remember the "other jocks" other than Shun? The other cheerleaders? Same thing.
I'd rather the show goes without, actually. The personality gimmicks are a crutch to rely on, especially when there's no character development happening at all. But I liked Fourze in the end all the same. Can't say the same about Wizard.

Yeah, I kinda figured that'd be the case.

Yayoi should have been a full time character damn you Daigo Sentai Kyoryuger . At least they shoved her into several episodes
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
I love how KyoryuCyan magically loses 100 pounds when he transforms. :lol
Super powers can do anything, they can even give a 12 yr old a mighty morphin' growth spurt.

And they can make furries lose their muzzles and beaks, so it's no biggie
Heh
Heh
Mai actually called Chucky by named once or twice. How are you going to own a company and be a rider, but let 3 of your employees bitch you out?

Oh yeah and Yuya is gone missing. I wonder if he was the Inves they killed first.

Kamen Rider Gaim 8 & 9
Had a chance to catch up with the show in one sitting. I really couldn't get enough of the Durian Rider and hope we see him again in due time. Had a lot of fun watching him. The watermelon lockseed made me feel like I was watching Power Rangers or Gundam for a second rather than Kamen Rider. Actually threw me off a bit.
Curious if Kamen Rider would actually go through with some sort of romance involving Baron and Mai. When I was watching Den-O (still not done yet) and Double, romance never seemed to be a major plot point for this sort of show. Even with Akiko and Terui, it never felt like there was much focus on their relationship. It just kind of happened gradually. Granted we're talking about a kid's show here so I guess I shouldn't expect much in that regard, but I'm wondering how other Kamen Riders have historically dealt with the subject.
I really hope
doesn't mean a return to 2-episode arcs. I'm been enjoying the structure of the show thus far.
And I'll be honest, I actually forgot about Yuya until they mentioned him again.

Glad it has stopped working for now as I feel like the show would've had to resort to constantly bigger and stronger enemies much sooner. It feels too early to have that sort of constant power scale difference between Kouta and the other Riders.

the appearance of the Inves through the interdemensional rifts

I can't say anything about the contracts because I don't know anything about those. But from what I've seen and read, the original intention was a total of 10 previous rangers all along. Of course, people always see it the way they want to see it, hence the complaining and whining from "fans" and actors.
Boss Doggie

But what is confirmed for Mega Force tho?
Coincidentally, I think Den-O was the best KR in terms of handling romance. Not going to spoil it since I don't know where in Den-O you are, but I'd like to hear some impressions later.
Edit: Forgot about Kiva, duh. The entire 1986 is about romance.

When they showed that scene where Yuya talks to Kota I thought it was Kota in a blonde wig,

Glad to hear that. Den-O's been quite the ride so far. Currently in the late 30s. Would have been done with it ages ago, but I'm watching it with a friend and we haven't had the time lately to sit down and finish it. When we're done, I anticipate making a post here just to give myself time to digest however the ending goes. Then onto the boatload of movies that were released afterwards!
Choujin Sentai Jetman complete!
That... was really damn good. What happened that year to get the writing to that level?
Everyone had depth to them, none of them were one-note. The villains were real bastards and the heroes were all fun to watch.
To go from Jetman to Zyuranger, that must have been a rough transition.
Next up... well Kakuranger still isn't done.
I think I'll tackle Shinkenger now.

I really liked Den-O. Great premise and characters. I feel like the show didn't need a final boss though, it felt tacked-on and out of place.
Not sure. It was written by Inoue, whose writing is somehow absolutely terrible outside anything Jetman. (his Gokaiger episode about the Jetman was also fantastic).
I guess after Fiveman was bashed for being a terrible show, they decided they needed to actually try for a year.
Shinkenger is a lot like Jetman (albeit intentionally more hammy), you might like it.

I was going to say Kiva was the worst about romance, than I remembered daddy.

Only thing good to come out of Kiva was Shizuka, she's a real fox now. <wait what>
Too this day I wonder what was the point of her character.
RoryDropkick

I wish I knew. She was just there to act cute/jealous and be motherly? Who the heck knows. I still like her a lot
Did she even appear in alter episodes?

Huh... wow, that's bad if I can't even remember. '08 was really a forgettable year.

I think her actress probably had scheduling conflicts or something, she disappeared for quite awhile near the end.
Why does it always seem to happen to the girls, like with Hiyori and Koyomi too. The only male character I recall that happening to was Drake.

That would make sense, as much of a fan as I am of Rina Koike I haven't been able to watch all of the shows she's appeared on.
Did the Hana girl from Den-o ever get better?

Dunno, but the rumor's that she was sexually harassed and was basically paid to keep silent.
