Upon rewatching it, I think you might be right. But then I also noticed another plot point I missed, and that's

his sister having powers/melody. Even Ramirez noticed it this time.

That's just because she was DekaYellow in a past life. It's just a wink and a nod for us, old farts watching preteens Japanese Shows.

I thought Torin now runs on brave energy

Yes, that's why Bragigas can do the Cannon attack and not die anymore. He also got a sweet deal on the conversion kit.

I might be crazy but King's detective mode is probably based on the Eating Detective.

I wish Doggie appeared more, or at least get a Deka movie :/

EDIT: Holy fucking shit that Just Live More Orchestrated

 

[YosemiteHam]

So I'm all caught up with Ultraman Ginga and all I can really say about it is that it's kinda fun but doesn't really have all that much substance. There are points though in certain episodes where the cinematography and effects and everything are just really really nice looking like the first time Hikaru transforms into Ginga and when he uses Ginga fireball for the first time in space.

So since I'm all done with that until the next episode comes out, I started Kamen Rider Faiz the other day and it's really really cool like I really dig the high tech motif they've got going on (kinda makes me hope for another high tech rider after Gaim) with all the gear Faiz has. I really like that there's two main casts so to speak: Faiz and his pals and the three orphenochs and at the moment I find the stories of both groups of characters really interesting. So yeah I just finished episode 9 and I'm coming away from it pretty impressed and happy. I'm liking Faiz so far.

I remember he showed up on some movie. I think it was Super Hero Taisen, but I just scrubbed and didn't find anything. All I remember is that he showed up, along with Swan, morphed, and said that the main characters could go somewhere, because he would take care of the one hundred enemies that showed up on some forest.

Also, his entrance was pretty good, as he "Vega Slashed" his way into the picture.

I don't remember where he did that though.

Edit: It was in the Gokaiger x Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Grand Battle. It also has Umeko actress in it. It's not enough, but it's some Doggie.

Also, doesn't he show up a bunch in Gokaiger? RangerWiki has pictures of him with Marvelous and a big ass paragraph. Damn, I really do need to watch Gokaiger...

I don't think Doggie ever will show up in the SHT movies because his voice actor does Rider 1's replacement voice, and he uses basically the same voice for both characters. Anyway, yes, Doggie appears in Gokaiger episode 5 and I think he also had a cameo in the last episode.

He's also in 199 Heroes. He was all over the place in Gokaiger.

Tell us how you feel when Kusaka shows up.

I watched Faiz during the fasting month where I had to hold back, among other things, anger. Each time Kusaka appears is when my resolve is really tested.

Oh I know his appearances during Gokaiger run (the Goseiger x movie, the Deka episode, and the cameo at the end). I even know that he was supposed to appear in the Gokai x Gavan movie.

Flashman Production really liked them Powered Visors.

 

[Slayven]

Flashman did have some of the badass suits.

 

[drizzle]

Flashman did have some of the badass suits.

They did. However, some of their special effects were mostly terrible. Sure, it's from 1986, but half of them weren't that bad, but they never used them. I think only Red Flash used his "summon my weapon" animation from time to time: With all the other members, the weapon would usually just show up, except in some very special cases, like character-oriented episodes.

Also, while I was scrubbing all 50 episodes looking for GIFable sequences, I noticed that they never used the complete henshin + rollcall footage on transformations. It was mostly just the Henshin sequence (that ended on the Visor Down I GIFfed) and the presentation, while the individual Roll Call footage was only used when they were Transforming by themselves, usually on character-specific episodes. As the episodes went on, they started using one of the three group Visor Down sequences I also GIFed, making the Henshin Sequence even quicker. Other than Red Flash, which would Henshin by himself a lot (and subsequently show his Personal Roll Call), each of the other member's roll calls only showed up I think twice each, in over 50 episodes. Pretty crazy.

 

[LostAnkh]

These lockseeds are sooooo much fun!

 

[WillyFive]

Must have been fun filming those sequences. Just standing around, and the having the visor drop. Then going into a new position to film the visor drop again.

I wonder if the visor just broke after the third one, or if they managed to do it a million times in between sequences.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I wonder if those pop in visors are the "close-up" helmets vs the "action" helmets.

It's extra funny today, because the Flashman say SHUT GOGGLE when they transform.

I wonder if those pop in visors are the "close-up" helmets vs the "action" helmets.

I'd say there are three sets of helmets. Mechanized henshin helmet, detailed close helmet, wide camera angle shitty helmet. On one episode, before shutting the visor down, they put a blindfold made out of metal to avoid some monster special attack. All this Visor down sequence was filmed on a white background (as opposed to black). In the middle of the fight on that episode, they open the visor up, say some things with the visor up (which I always though was pretty cool. Sadly, they never did that again), and put the visor back down. This was also done in a white background that had nothing to do with the place they were fighting, and it was clearly recorded in studio.

On that same episode, they fight based on sound. Poor Pteragordon

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Not sure if it was a reference or not, but I was definitely reminded of that when I heard "SHUT GOGGLES"

That depends. Are there New Zealanders with Robert Baldwin's build?

I caught myself up on Kyoryuger and Gaim. Glad that I stuck with Gaim. I think that the amount and variety in Characters is really helping it, at least in my opinion. No two Riders so far seem to think alike, which is great.

 

[YosemiteHam]

So uh.

There's this. http://www.superhero-movie.com/

Apparently the next Super Hero Taisen movie is going to be focused on Heisei riders vs Showa riders (now there's 15 of each so it works) and Super Sentai is only going to be "featured" so I guess they just show up at the end or something

Please get a decent writer this time.

 

[vareon]

The showa riders and heisei riders fight each other in the beginning, but it turns out to be a misunderstanding and they unite to fight Giga Shocker in the end. The Super Sentai helped clear that misunderstanding by destroying Giga Shocker's plan.

Where do I apply for scriptwriter?

I'm still wondering how that will not end in a monkeystomping by the Heisei team. Kamen Rider J might be the only one who poses a problem. It's like putting Golden Age Flash up against modern Flash.

I wonder if they'll get Fujioka back to voice Rider 1 (assuming Rider 1 has a big enough part in the film to warrant that). Still disappointed they didn't let him play out of suit in Let's Go Kamen Riders, the Rescue Force movie showed he was still boss amongst bosses.

 

[BatDan]

Nostalgia. Saban wanted to get the older audience to watch, so they brought back someone from MMPR.
Of course, it doesn't make sense to the target demographic, who were born years after Bulk and Skull left the show.

Sorry for the double post, but here's an interesting read about girl audience in shows targeted to young boys which may be relevant to our favorite shows about men in armors and thights:

That's pretty interesting.

It probably can be very relevant to Toku, especially after the controversy with the producer of Kyoryuger only having one girl on the show and not having a yellow because it was a "girly" color and girls can't be strong.

Ironically, older women are a big audience of the shows (the ratings for the F1 and F2 demographic, females aged 20 to 35 and 36 to 49 respectively, have a range of 2% to 7%, and are the most likely to watch the show year after year despite cast and thematic changes), and explains why the shows constantly have male models as main characters and the audience on a lot of fan Toku events are loud fangirls.

Then again, you could argue that the cure series that airs right after Sentai and Rider already has the child girl demographic for the channel, so no need for Rider and Sentai to hunt for them.

Yeah, we'll never see the old, pre 2000's style of actors sadly.
