That belt looks like a penis guillotine.

Which one is supposed to be a ninja?

 

[vareon]

No kidding, the armors look clunky as fuck.

Here is the takeaway from the final line

[08:04:45] Magenta: But no seriously street dance fruit Pokemon what

 

[Boss Doggie]

Pokeymans? Where?

 

[Urban Scholar]

I like the armor design but the plot sounds silly.

And you know what Fourze haters.nay sayers it's sounding better than this. No comment on Wizard aside from zzzz

 

[fmpanda]

The initial plot may sound silly, but then again, the director is from Akibaranger and the writer, well, he did do this show recently.....

 

[vareon]

http://herotaku.com/blog/1/1845-kamen-rider-gaim-press-conference-megapost-updating/ has some more details.

Gaim

Balon

Ryugen

Zangetsu

The coconut one is apparently Griton.

this is a skip and wait for next years rider...it had so much promise

 

[Slayven]

Fruit, raider competition, and brake dancing?

Sign me up.

 

[chickdigger802]

i just can't stop laughing at that orange sword. The suits doesn't seem to share any rider motif. At a glance this could be a brand new toku series. It does kinda looks like the one in china.

Sounds like Gaim's even more convoluted than the usual KR series. I was still down for the show, even with the suits, but now I'm not so sure.

Nobody thinks Amy is pushing the issue because Yayoi is nuts over King?

That's the impression I got - Yayoi's basically a voyeur. There's admiring from afar, and then there what she's doing.

Nah, they have 'em.

Gaim's cresent, Balon's horns, Ryugen's eyebrows, and Zangetsu's thing all stand in for the grasshopper antennas. All of them also have big bug eyes, and of course, a belt.

 

[Slayven]

The guys that came up with this, where was they when designing Hyper Beast?

The "rider motif" was much less important since Ryuki, people kept saying that.

However I agree with you that it looks like a brand new toku series. Mainly because it's been a long year since we saw an initial poster with so many riders, the heavily armored designs, and this poster:

Given out of context, it could look like some promotional hero for a soft drink brand or something.

 

[Slayven]

So coconut is going to be a brute? Excellent, Kamne Rider needs more straight brawling riders.

I want this to start already, even if it ends up being a trainwreck it'll probably still be magnitudes more exciting than Wizard

The supporting cast already has tons more depth than Wizard's.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Its a toku about street dancing pokemon training fruit flavored warmongering samurai with social commentary on corporations sprinkled on top. You'd have to be a fool not to try it out based on morbid curiosity.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Cool, the owner of the "hangout" this time is Goro from Ryuki.

Anyway, I don't get the negativity for this, it sounds fun.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

I hope we get a video soon

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Seems the music style this time will be Reggae, as the Reggae Band Shounan no Kaze is doing the OP.

I really like this one song of theirs, hope Gaimu's theme is similar.

Yes, that would be awesome.

Boost Up! Beet Buster is a good example of Toku music pulling off the Hispanic flavor extremely well. Ole! from OOO and both the opening and ending for Kyoryuger are good examples as well. Guess Toei is in a Latin mood lately.

Break dancing fruity samurais? I'm In.

 

[Tenumi]

Hmm... as someone who hasn't watched any Kamen Rider series (minus the first episode of Wizard), part of me is curious whether I should give this a try...

 

[chickdigger802]

bout time for KR to have ED's again?

Toei is all about them dancin' ED's these days.

The next Movie Wars is gonna be insane.

The next Movie Wars is gonna be insane.

The way this Series is being set-up makes it sound like it won't take place in the "relatively" normal Japan W-Wizard is set in, where besides the monsters, the setting itself is more or less something you could see taking place in the normal world.

But here we've got a walled city and such. Apparently Gaimu isn't in Wizard, so maybe they'll be dropping the "W" Verse?

Of course, they can still have Wizard use his magic to travel to Gaimu's world for the Movie Wars, OR since in Gaimu we have people opening portals, maybe he's summoned there by some kid.

Or they can ignore all that shit and say "hey they in together doing cool shit, here are some new forms". In the Edo Village of course.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Wizard is kinda lame though - Fourze makes the movie wars good.

 

[chickdigger802]

wizard would work better if the show wasn't kamen rider and was like a Garo spinoff.

They try to do dark stuff, but are definitely holding back.

 

[SousedLouse]

Anyway, I don't get the negativity for this, it sounds fun.

My only issue is that there's a whole bunch of stuff going on at once. They're fruit-based Riders/monster wranglers, who have to deal with break-dancing turf wars AND some vaguely-defined evil corporation AND some sort of nebulous dimensional rift. That's enough problems to make 2-3 shows, and they're bundling it all into one show. Other shows in this series have tackled less stuff than this, only to come up short. I don't expect much from this show because I'm assuming that it'll either leave a whole bunch of unanswered questions like Kiva, or leave a whole bunch of underdeveloped ideas in its wake like Kabuto.

That said, I've got enough self-awareness to know that constantly griping about a Sunday morning action show is a bad look, so I'm not going to go on and on about my suspicions. And it'll probably be a fun little series anyway.

to be fair, all of the kamen riders take place in "walled cities". i bet we'll see wizard in a crossover movie.

 

[Urban Scholar]

Garo ep 16 with that fake out.

Just when I'm thinking oh man this is getting lame or slow or etc. Bam, the show keeps it going.

Bring on ep 17!

Ep 1 of Ultraman ginga was pretty good. I always felt the Ultradudes were stale in their human ids. But this fixes that. ANd the fact they are using toys to war a war is Meta as hell.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

So they're like little master locks

 

[WillyFive]

That's a pretty sweet Henshin pose Gaim has. It's like Fourze's entire transformation moveset done before he actually morphs.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

The main character is pretty appealing, looks wise. Haruto has this look that's, like, too pretty and cocky looking, but this dude looks like a bro.

In a perfect world Ryuutaro would show up and school them in a dance battle.

oh so the actors can actually break it down? Interesting.

I love when the actors can do some cool stunts, Gentarou had some rad moves he did in Fourze.

By the way, was the suit actor announced? Weren't there rumors about the main Rider Suit Actor retiring?
