Did they do the official Netflix subs for Digimon Adventure/02?
Because those are pretty bad, really ugly looking yellow text, awkward grammar, moments where they can't decide whether or not to use the original or dub name, and probably mistakes too, but I can't be sure.

Just caught Kamen Rider Wizard 49. Im really liking this finale they've been building toward. I wish the rest of the series had mattered, but the ending is good at least. Good stuff out of Beast and the fight with Wizard vs Yamamoto was pretty nice. Really had some force in its delivery.
If fansubbers go as they have been going now, they would eventually (think another 10 or so years); but who knows how the US Toei channel will affect that.

So kyoryuger red carnival ep was just an excuse to not only show King but King shirtless?
It's his world and everyone else merely lives in it.

Wizard 50
And here I thought the show couldn't possibly get any better!
And here I thought the show couldn't possibly get any better!
Haruto gets infinity ring back and proceeds to slug it out with Fueki, barely winning that fight. Fueki tries to make off with Koyomi, but is ambushed and killed by Gremlin. Gremlin attacks Koyomi, stealing the philosopher's stone inside her, killing her in the process.
I was disappointed. He tears up the shirt to reveal.... a scrawny body with thin arms. King.... please don't do that again.

I think it was also a plug for the actor as he recently put out a photo book, so he probably got more sales from the ladies : p

About time they used the sucking in the fire thing while transforming. Last time I remember Haruto doing that was the first episode.

There's one on Jefusion that sounds really stupid.
Also Jefusion.

Jefusion is a silly name to begin with. What kind of name is that?

sounds like a kids tv channel.
As with everything on the internet, remember that Jefusion is not the source. They're taking it from Toku Insider, which was run by dukemon22, which just posts everything he could find (including from 2ch) and just labeling it as rumor if it isn't confirmed yet.
Edit: Why do I not know this 009-1 and why does it look terrible?

Wizard is awful. I don't care about anything that happens to any of the characters because I don't care about the characters as it is.
I'll ask again, why does Haruto care about Koyomi so much? They barely know each other and they hardly interact. They have no connection.
So White Wizard spends the second half of the episode trying to kill Haruto and then when he's killed we're supposed to be sad, playing sad music? Then Koyomi, the person who's mere existence has caused all the boring in this show, who is already dead we're supposed to care about dying when she's barely been in the show.
I'll ask again, why does Haruto care about Koyomi so much? They barely know each other and they hardly interact. They have no connection.
Relationships in Wizard are a mess.
Haruto spends half the show looking for and hating White Wizard, and then 2 minutes after they had their final fight and he dies, Haruto is suddenly sad for him.
I can somewhat understand why Haruto cares for Koyomi, since he was like a father/brother figure to her throughout the whole show, feeding her and whatnot; but it's all so poorly done that I don't care at all about what happens to her.

Translation of an interview with Gen Urobuchi about Gaim. There are some interesting tidbits in it...

I find it surprising the idea to bring back the early Hesei-era style was not Gen's idea.
Still, pretty exciting. I like the "the monster won't get away and die later", that gets a bit too annoying in W-Wizard. I guess Gaim will come off looking more competent due to this, no more "look over there!" moments while the monster runs away.

Or "the monster got away, lets go have lunch".
You think we might get a Shadowgaim?

Just saw Wizard episode 50. They saved EVERYTHING for the last storyline 10 episodes it seems. Only other moments that mattered till now were Phoenix, Gremlin's backstory, and the birth of the new Mages.
I would have honestly used what happened in episode 50 sans the white wizard part earlier in the season to build a purpose and direction for Haruto, but at least the series is FINALLY paying off. Here's hoping it ends all OOO's like for impact.
Also I think Gaim is going to be all batshit insane on purpose and filled with all the other Riders to try and recapture the pacing and interactions that took place on Den-O. Its no secret they've wanted to make another series as popular as that one for awhile, but they keep missing the mark. I guess they figured what they needed was for them to have a host of Rider personalities right out the gates that all are loud and play off each other the way the Imagin did constantly. Wrapping it in an easily mockable and insane theme sets the tone for the silly I think. Im betting we are going for pure comedy this time around. Here's hoping.

There are some scans about Gaim's toyline that seem to suggest very strongly that the Rider Arms (armors based on W, OOO, Fouze and Wizard for Gaim-type Riders) will actually appear in the next Movie Wars. There are only silhouettes for the armors right now though, no clear pictures.
I think Takebe always had wanted to bring it back. She was Kiva's main producer, and in several ways it seemed like Kiva attempted to go for early Heisei Rider, in spite of the obvious Den-O influences constraining it. For OOO, she always mentioned elements of earlier Heisei shows as inspiration (like the Kougami foundation being originally a Smart Brain homage before taking life of its own), but it seemed like she needed to stick to something close to W due to its enormous success. Now, following up Wizard's relative failure, rather than a new hit, seems to finally allow her to make a series breaking away from Den-O's and W's formulas for real.
W beat Den-O in everything besides DVD sales. If anything, they've been trying to recreate W for 3 years, but always failing to achieve the same overall success (OOO and Fourze had much better toy sales than W at least- but they lost ratings very quickly, much faster than in the earlier Heisei era, but Wizard took a big hit in merchandising sales too and that's likely why they'll try something different now).
Read that interview. They seem to be aiming for the early Heisei era style, not Den-O. The W style was pretty close to Den-O already with the wacky personalities, 2 parters and victims of the week.

The only thing I'm worried right now is the fabled executive meddling.

the reason why haruto is so emotionally fucked up is because of the movie... scarred for life.
White wizard is badass, but the suit isn't made for hand on hand combat imo. The immovable helmet makes it look like the live action batman suits with the unmovable cowl lol.

Sentai and Rider still have very high merchandising sales, unlike Ultraman, which had its merchandising collapsing around 2002-2003, but Sentai's ratings are heading to irrelevance currently and Riders' also aren't very good. Riders' box office also took a hit since Fourze's solo movie, although that just meant returning to pre-Decade levels.
Still, those are two series and from the same studio. It's not really very healthy. Imagine if there were only two anime running every season...

Man I love Kamen Rider W, with Den-O being a close second.

Yes! Watch it with us and have fun, its only one ep a week and you can just drop it if its shit, lol.
Don't mess with White Wizard's daughter!
Also, Kyoryuger is hot right now.
As for the CGI vs. real-life stuff; I can see where the article is coming from. The final battles for the Kamen Rider and Sentai theatrical movies have recently been mostly or all CGI, the more recent ones don't even use real suits but CG versions of them. They might as well be cartoons.
Yeah, I've noticed this too. But, at least we are still getting new shows from time to time, like Garo and the new upcoming Gouraigan; and Indonesia has Bima Satria Garuda and China has their Sentai-clone Giant Saver.

Probably suit actors for the other villains. I know Candelia is played by a dude.
I look forward to Ramires fighting next episode.

The younger guy was Candy's suit actor dude...he's the one who plays all the girls. Played Yellow Buster last year, Gokai Yellow, Gosei Pink, etc. The older dude was Chaos's voice actor (who I don't know how I didn't realize was Gurren Lagann's narrator...)
and yeah, when I saw the preview, I realized Ramires is the only one who haven't seen fight yet.

I really hope
he's not really dead. Especially now since his story arch was supposed to blow wide open. He was fighting at the end of next week's episode preview, but he was with the spirit rangers AND Yayoi, so I dunno.

Go with the tried and true W.
or this boss right here. Kamen Rider OOO's
W and OOO's are probably two of the best there are in Kamen Rider shows. Eventually my love of OOO's made him my favorite over W...but juuuuuuuuuust barely. If Kamen RIder W hadn't had Akiko it would have won. Phillip and Shotaro are amazing, but Ankh and Eiji are too and if I got to compare secondary cast Birth over Accel the Dopants villain group over the Greeed villains but the Greeed villain of the week over the Dopant villain of the week designs with the Dopant villain of the week story generally went back and forth with the Greeed villain of the week for best stories and BOTH had amazing building subplots that culminated into insane finales that were great.
Like I said its damned close but OOO's is my main by a small margin. It can and has gone either way. Watch both eventually...you will love them.

I feel OOO is legitimately the deepest Kamen Rider show out there, even though a lot of stuff you don't really appreciate till after you watch it because it's kind of slow at times.

Yeah, OOO is my least favorite not bad Rider show in the last few years. I mean, its obviously better than Decade and Wizard, but not even close to W and Fourze.
