These last 8 episodes of Geats feel like they're just throwing shit at the wall to pad the episode count. The story basically ended when Geats IX debuted
>>
>>23816342
They said it in the show themselves.
>>
>>23816342
The evil Keiwa plot was actually the original endgame. It was designed with the idea of a reverse of Geats IX colors because originally it was thought to be the final boss.

But the evil Keiwa plot ended up delayed several times by Takebe and then by the time it was done they didn't think it'd work as the end game anymore since it didn't get enough time.
>>
>>23816369
See, if they I actually like the evil Keiwa plot because he actually becomes interesting. Him being the endgame fight after killing a bunch of people would have actually given it kind of a Gaim feel for the end

She's a rebel that usually doesn't listen the advice of bandai or executives unless they outright reject her motifs like how it happened with Gaim and Gavv, I don't think anyone can keep her from being irresponsible ssdly
She's close to her pension though, and at least Matsuura sort of inherited her creativity which is her biggest strength
>>
>>23816420
Yeah I could care less if Takebe forced Takahashi to hold off the dark Keiwa arc, it doesn't change the fact that Takahashi still wrote Keiwa horribly and there's no indication it would've been better if it was done earlier. We literally saw how he treated Michinaga's evil arc and Keiwa was a joke after Q1 regardless.

>Gaim had Mitzusane surviving instead of dying like in the original plan of which he only got to survive because the show ended up being one episode longer than originally planned, Kaito's backstory got cut

Well, he was originally meant to be the final boss instead of Suel, so he might've overtaken the DGP instead of the other way around.
>>

>every show headed by Takebe had unprecedented changes
Nearly every Toku show does.
>>
>>23816425
Speaking of Michinaga, I wonder what happened to his final form. Plosion Rage was definitely meant to be his reward for winning the DGP. The buckle got leaked alongside the other three and the design has those Jamato markings, but for some reason they just kept letting him use the Fever Buckle instead and only introduced it in a V-Cinema

>Plosion Rage was definitely meant to be his reward for winning the DGP
Buffa was planned to be powered up twice in the show, getting Jyamashin first and then Plosion Rage. So Jyamashin was most likely his intended upgrade for winning the JGP, and he would've probably gotten Plosion Rage during his final fight against Beroba, in the same arc in which everyone else was getting their final forms.
>>
>>23816450
Gaim was originally meant to have a warriors + winged creature motif but it got rejected, the warrior part was kept but Bandai suggested fruits as a side motif instead
Gavv was originally going to have a sea creature motif but got rejected and Bandai suggested sweets instead
Not a Takebe show but for Fourze the staff had come up with every toy except for the helper robots that were mandatory at the time, so Bandai suggested the Food Droids and they went along with it since they couldn't come up with something better

Point is someone at Bandai is really fucking hungry

>>
>>23816442
Best primary by a mile is Baku. Best secondary by a mile is Fuwa.

Most successful primary by far is Shachou. Secondary is obviously Nox.
>>
>>23816463
I have wondered why they never did a aquatic theme sentai series, especially with sharks being one of the more common animals when they do an animal themed group. But I do see how it'd be harder to do a rider series based around aquatic animals even if the belt forms would easily adapt to the concept.
>>
>>23816463
Which is why a mouse is the main motif of My-Th because there's so much free cheese
>>
>>23816473
If we take Nox out of the equation on account of him already being famous, who would be the most successful secondary?

>>23816476
I assume it's because you're sort of required to film a lot of underwater scenes or near the ocean, and that's gonna be expensive as fuck

If they ever decide to do a 10YA film with a focus on Fuwa (retconning his "death") and they manage to convince him back, it would be a huge waste not to do an Ace Attorney gag or a Lobotomy kaisen Higuruma reference.
>>
>>23816463
>Gaim was originally meant to have a warriors + winged creature motif but it got rejected, the warrior part was kept but Bandai suggested fruits as a side motif instead
That's not really how it went down. Originally, every Rider was going to be based on a Sengoku Warlord, but in order to differentiate the Riders, Bandai proposed the fruit elements which went alongside the bird motif with the idea being "fruit-eating birds", and then they adopted motifs of warriors from other cultures to further differentiate the Riders. The bird motif was dropped later on and that's how the Gaim Riders as we know them came to be.
>Gavv was originally going to have a sea creature
A merman, specifically based on the Little Mermaid.

Rough translation of the Oricon article about Kenichi Suzumura
"Voice actor and artist Kenichi Suzumura announced on the 13th that he has canceled his acoustic live tour, which was scheduled for May and June. This was reported by Intention's official X account and the Bandai Namco Music official website.
"Regarding the acoustic live tour that we announced at the end of last year,
we had planned to hold it in May-June 2026 and had been working towards making it happen. However, due to the artist's poor health, it has become difficult to hold the event under optimal conditions, and we have reluctantly decided to postpone it," they reported.
He continued, "I deeply apologize to everyone who was looking forward to this performance. I will aim to return in perfect condition so that I can provide another opportunity to meet you all again in the future," and appealed, "I ask for your understanding and forgiveness." In February of this year, Suzumura was diagnosed with adjustment disorder by a doctor and will be taking a break to rest for a while, as announced by his management agency, Intention, where he serves as representative."
>>
>>23816522
Gavv being beloved is a massive fluke mainly because they got a pretty good action director plus none of the actors were bad at their jobs, and the main 3 were obviously having fun which resonated in their performance
>>
Honestly still way prefer Catastrom over Orderm
>>
I'll judge Orderm when I see it without the debut budget backing it up, which should be next episode this weekend.
>>
>>23816550
Yes, it's making me actually preorder a SHF Nox even though I usually wait and get it later in the aftermarket, just to pose it getting BTFO by Catastrom.
>>
>>23816549
The head writer for Gavv is great at drama and comedy (although Gavv barely has any comedy surprisingly) and she's known for being really good at picking actors
Yeah yeah really sucks at handling big casts which was why she wanted the Stomachs to be simple characters that died quickly but her style generally lends itself to Rider
>>
>>23816550
I like Orderm's design, Henshin sequence and jingle better, but I like seeing Catastrom in action way more.
>>
>>23816508
>Sengoku Warlord
>Birds
>Fruits
>Warriors from different cultures
They sure had a lot of ideas for Gaim's design
>>
>>23816550
I like Orderm but Catastrom hits different. Shit's metal and technically has a 0 loss record. I think the showrunners agree because we're supposed to be getting the final form a little earlier, right? If anything it feels like Orderm feels incomplete, being a skeleton and all, but it's like the natural step into Zeztz' next evolution.
>>
>>23816550
I feel like Catastrom was really well done for a two part upgrade where usually the first part gets shafted. Not only was it really integral to the shifting dynamics of the story, but it just gave off such a powerful presence and honestly made every fight satisfying watching Baku just pummel through things. It honestly wouldn't have been so odd if Catastrom ended up the final form. Orderm honestly looks great, but I feel like it doesn't have the same impact that Catastrom did on debut but hopefully more screentime will help.
>>
>>
>>23816550
"Big buff guy who punches hard" is a surprisingly underused concept in Rider
>>
>>23816550
Catastrom is one of the few forms that never really dropped the "debut strength" when typically it gets nerfed after a while.
>>
>>23816563
Sounds like she was a good pick. Hopefully they call her back soon since Gavv was well received
>>

Catastrom's drawback is also really unique. If you're not pissed off and ready to kill whatever is in front of you, it will backfire on you instead

>GAVV, did you know that your mom is actually a field agent? She was on a mission to investigate a black company.
>>
>>23816572
Right now I'd say either her or Kaneko who was an assistant writer for Gavv are the likeliest picks for My-Th but really it's too early to tell, Takebe is just an extremely unpredictable producer
Also that writer is a good pick as long as it's for Rider, her writing style just doesn't work with Sentai and Precure which were what she worked on before even though her only hated season was LuPat
>>
>>23816576
I feel that if we still had net movies and super hero taisens we would have had a segment like these where other riders just clown on Nox

>>
>>23816566

Catastrom only looks that strong because, after Nox and The Disaster Nightmare, it's pretty much been exclusively used against monster of the week fodder. They avoided having it fight against Lord Three during the latter's debut, and they prevented it from having a proper fight with Dawn as Baku ran out of gas right after beating the Wolf Nightmare and Sieg took advantage of that to immediately stomp him out of his transformation.

>>
>>23816586
From these stats, Catastrom really was Final form worthy despite its drawback. If Zeztz were a villain rider, Catastrom would be near unstoppable.
Orderm is obviously useful for its Recovery powers on steroids. It is a utility form if anything. And the reduced stats make sense after casting off the bulk and leaving a Skeletal form.
From the leaked design of our final form, it really feels like Orderm will "evolve" into Exdream somehow. So kinda makes sense when you consider the reduced stats and relatively lesser impact compared to Catastrom.

Wizard was a really different situation where the head writer was missing deadlines constantly so she was initially writing the show on automatic without being able to progress the story, then the producer promoted her as a co-head writer, this was also her first time being the head writer for anything in her career at that point
Zyuohger was hated at release for being too safe but it's very well liked now
LuPat is really liked by fujos, fundaishi and women but otherwise the story is really hated and the characters are considered to be poorly utilized
Zenkaiger is really well liked but wasn't watched by many due to Sentai's reputation being stained at the time

>only looks that strong
Lol. Bro will say anything at this point. I dont think you understand how much attention to detail was given to make sure Catastrom doesn't feel nerfed (because it never was). Lord 3 in the dream was lucky because Baku got an existential crisis, so he took advantage of taking the cheap shot. Sieg was always a smart motherfucker and took advantage as well. These were all circumstantial and do not take away from Catastrom being fucking powerful. But we are watching a show that is in the business of toys, and Catastrom cannot be the final form having been introduced mid series. This is the best we can get without making the super form feel cheap (which is unfortunately common in KR).

God, I was watching Gotchard and it felt crazy just how many super forms he got.
>>
>>23816612
You're just mentioning how they got around Catastrom actually confronting opponents that are potentially on its own level or above. Outside of Nox and the Disaster Nightmare, it's only been allowed to have fights with low-tier opponents that even Plasma could handle pretty easily.

The body breakdown drawback is its nerf, the one that prevents it from fighting the major threats that debuted after it. If Catastrom actually got to fight them and won, its feats would be more impressive.
>>
>>23816499
I don't think so, I think it moreso implies that it's another drone he controls like the Zeroider.

Honestly, I feel like the Zeztz vs Zero thing would've had more impact if it was Zero physically transforming or just controlling the CODE Zeroider. The latter would've been a good excuse for Baku to keep the bike afterwards too.
>>
>>23816632
>The body breakdown drawback is its nerf
That's not a nerf. We got that literally in a span of, what, an episode after its debut? That means we already knew what the form was capable of from the get go. Do you even know what a nerf is? It's basically closer to a retcon to make something jarringly less OP after a significant period of time.

>That's not a nerf. We got that literally in a span of, what, an episode after its debut?
It was the episode after its 2 episode-long debut showcase. And it was conveniently triggered for the first time right before Baku had to fight Lord Three, and once again when he was about to resume his fight against Sieg.

>That means we already knew what the form was capable of from the get go
We don't know how it measures up to Three's fighting skills nor Dawn's raw power and skill because, again, they never let it actually fight any major threat that debuted after it. We know it's great at cleaning up monsters of the week because Plasma could already handle those with ease, and we also know it's stronger than the toys that debuted right before it (KR Nox and the pair of Lords Five & Six), but what about the toys that debuted after it?
>>
>>23816625
That doesn't mean his next show will be as good.
>>
>>23816654
Your whole argument rests on the basic stuff that's been shown on the screen (that is, you taking everything 'literally'l instead of you reading between the lines and comprehending intent and implication. Again, you're saying anything at this point just to downplay a pretty good execution of a Super form. Being this willfully obtuse at your age just makes you look pathetic.
>>
>>23816550
Me too but why doesn't the top heavy form have a Rider Punch as its main finisher. Or a lariat.
>>
>>23816639
The main concern here isn't whether those works stain his reputation or not, it's whether he's been starting to lose his consistency in recent years.

>>23816656
You're straying off topic. I wanted a new writer that breathes new life into the series and makes a great show like Shogo Muto. Whether his writing skills are still good or not is unrelated to the current topic since he's no longer a new writer

>>23816660
>instead of you reading between the lines and comprehending intent and implication
Don't come at me with that bullshit, at most we can infer that Lord Three loses an hypothetical fight given how concerned Three is about the power Baku has gained (but then again Lord Three is also getting a power-up of his own in the future), but parallels have been directly drawn between Catastrom's power and Dawn's so you can't just assume Dawn is weaker until they have a proper fight.

>Again, you're saying anything at this point just to downplay a pretty good execution of a Super form.
It's easy to make a Super Form look strong if you just keep throwing low level fodder at it. It's another story entirely if it has to constantly fight against higher tier threats.

It's the exact same wording used for Catastrom. Every other form uses the Zeztz Exoskim, which instead manifests the user's inner strength

The coating is called the Zeztz Naked? An interesting choice.

That's so weird. We'll have to see if Orderm really does have destructive impulses but that doesnt seem to be the case at all considering it's supposed to be the yang to Catastrom's yin. Otherwise this is just another intern writing whatever for the web page.

Animate interview with ShirakuraP, TsukadaP, and TakebeP
https://www.animatetimes.com/news/details.php?id=1773837697
--First, could you tell us about the process that led to the start of the new "Agito" project as a commemorative work for the 55th anniversary of Kamen Rider's?
>Takebe: It all started with yakiniku
>Tsukada: We reunited with Jun Kaname at the production announcement for the work "Oshi no Ko," and we decided to go out for a meal. The police team, including Jun Yamazaki from the G Unit, had yakiniku, and that's when the topic of wanting to do a new Agito project came up.
>Takebe: It was really near the end, wasn't it? Up until then, we'd been reminiscing about old times.
>Tsukada: I think that's where it started, and then we consulted with Inoue-sensei, and that was the flow of events.
>Takebe: I myself thought it was just going to be a yakiniku get-together. There are some projects where the cast brings in a proposal, but I remember being really surprised that time, thinking, "They're talking about something like that!?"
>Tsukada: Up until now, when we do anniversary projects, we usually start with "It's almost been 10 years," but it's been 25 years since Agito was made.
>Takebe: I wasn't really aware of that, so I was like, "So everyone was thinking about that?"
>>
>>23816847
--What kind of things did you discuss when creating a new Agito story for the Reiwa era?
>Takebe: At first, was it something like, "Let's put the spotlight on Makoto Hikawa"?
>Shirakura: "Let's do a story about how the G-Unit, led by Makoto Hikawa, will confront a world where humanity is gradually awakening to Agito." We talked about this while drunk a few days later (laughs).
>Takebe: It was a "completely dark bar" where no more than three people could enter (laughs).
>Shirakura: The restaurant was designated by dai-sensei (Toshiki Inoue), and he asked us to limit the number of people to three...
>Tsukada: It looked like it would fit in terms of space, though.
>Shirakura: There were seats available, but apparently, groups of three or more are not allowed. After talking for a bit, Inoue-sensei said, "Okay, then work's done." I thought to myself, "It was done in a minute!" (laughs).
>Takebe: However, after the plot meeting, Inoue-sensej mentioned that he needed some time, which showed his determination.
>Tsukada: My approach was to commit to whatever Mr. Shirakura and Mr. Inoue were creating, but the meetings were completely unpredictable, leaving me wondering, "What's going to happen?"
>Thinking about it again, 'Agito' was a unique and innovative work born from various challenges. It sounds strange, but those who create Kamen Rider series from now on will have to create Kamen Rider in a world where 'Agito' already exists. I've done it myself, and I think that's quite difficult. After all, there was no 'Agito' before 'Agito'. In that sense, I think this film has also become quite unique.
>Takebe: It certainly feels different from "V-Cinext."
>Tsukada: It's an unusual movie (laughs). Personally, I really like it.
>>
>>23816849
--This film is part of the "Kamen Rider Movie Project," and the teaser trailer is titled "Kamen Rider Chronicle Begins."
>Shirakura: I can't quite remember how it all started, but at first I thought it would be something like bringing "Kamen Rider Agito" to life as an anniversary V-Cinema Next, following "Kamen Rider OOO 10th: The Revival of the Core Medals" and "Kamen Rider 555 20th: Paradise Regained." But before I knew it, "Agito" was being made into a movie...
>Takebe: It's different from our usual production system. We even filmed in Kyoto.
>Shirakura: To be honest, I felt that doing Agito in the form of a V-Cinext sequel was quite a heavy burden. Frankly, we were hesitant to take on the project. However, we changed our approach and decided that "if it's in the form of a feature film, we should give it our all."
>Takebe: So, the reason it became a movie is because the people around you were more enthusiastic than you expected?
>Shirakura: Tsukada accidentally let something slip during a meeting with important people.
>Tsukada: Was that right?
>Shirakurw: When I mentioned that a V-Cinext adaptation of "Agito" was in the works, someone said, "Let's make it a feature film." Since "Agito" was the first film in what we now call the "summer movie" lineup ("Kamen Rider Agito: Project G4"), many people at Toei have a positive impression of "Agito."
>Also, while it's not a grand pronouncement, some argue that "Agito" inherently has a thematic core—the idea of those who can transform and those who can't striving together to improve—already has themes that make it suitable for a film (laughs).
>>
>>23816850
--There are definitely aspects that could only be brought to the movie because it was "Agito."

>Shirakura: That's right.

>Takebe: Another big factor is that Kaname-kun will be appearing.

>Shirakura: It's not just because "the cast asked us" or "it's an anniversary," but because if we're going to do 'Agito,' we should tackle it head-on. I've always thought that "otherwise it would be unfair to both the cast and the audience," so I think this is a great opportunity.
>>
>>23816853
--I understand that filming for this project took place in two separate locations, Kyoto and Tokyo. I'd like to hear about the intention behind this approach.

>Tsukada: I've brought special effects productions to Kyoto before, so I have the know-how, and Kyoto allows actors who come from Tokyo to concentrate on their acting because they're disconnected from their daily lives. I think that kind of energy has a positive effect on the work. So I persuaded Shirakura, who was reluctant... (laughs)

>Takebe: The schedule was fairly close, so I was wondering, "Are we really going to do it?"

>Tsukada: Due to issues such as the stage props not being ready in time, we decided to "shoot the action scenes later in Tokyo," resulting in a unique blend of East and West. I think it turned out to be something truly unique in many ways.

>Shirakura: Not only were the cast members isolated in a "driver's license training camp"-like setting, but the staff also traveled all the way from Tokyo. Conversely, staff from Kyoto came to the Tokyo studio, creating a kind of East-West exchange that provided mutual inspiration. In the end, it was a really great experience.

>Takebe: It really felt like a "movie," didn't it?

>Tsukada: The members from Kyoto were really into it and participated enthusiastically.

>Takebe: I think the fact that it was directed by Tasaki (Ryuta) was a big factor, too. He had done a lot of filming in Kyoto for "The Woman of S.R.I," so he was able to request the cameramen and other staff as well.

>Shirakura: For better or worse, the Tokyo team is very experienced, so there's a chance they might just rely on their usual methods. Even if you tell them, "This time it's a 'film'," they might still perform as they normally would. On the other hand, the Kyoto team isn't in their usual environment. How should I put it...it's obvious, but they're serious about it. I think that's what elevated the film to a whole new level.
(1/2)
>>
>>23816857
>Takebe: The timing was good this time too. Since it was right after "Kamen Rider Gavv" had finished, we were able to bring in people who had free time in their schedules, such as action director Satoshi Fujita, and suit actors Masashi Takada, Yuya Nawata, and Yuki Miyazawa.

>Shirakura: It might sound obvious when I say that we have leading suit actors play the leading roles in the suit acting...

>Takebe: Usually, I tend to be a little hesitant when working on other projects, but this time it was just right.
(2/2)
>>
>>23816859
>Tsukada: As the third-in-command producer, I was constantly casting guest actors back then. Agito had a huge cast, to say the least.

>Shirakura: Because it includes things like the "Akatsuki" ship.

>Tsukada: We had to adjust the cast schedules around that time, even after their main appearances. Looking back now, I think, "I'm surprised we were able to get all the members together for the Akatsuki episode."

>Shirakura: There's bound to be an episode where everyone gets together at some point. As for Kashu (Toshiki), it seems that when Tsukada was traveling from Kyoto to Tokyo, he spoke to his manager at Kyoto Station.

>Tsukada: When we happened to meet, I told him, "We're currently holding auditions for Kamen Rider," and he said, "Please let me participate."

>Tsukada: My personal achievement is bringing Ryunosuke Kamiki along. Before the interview, I rewatched episodes 43 to 46. He did a lot of different things, but when I watch the scene where he flies away as Agito's "original form" now, I think, "What kind of treatment is that!?" (laughs).

>Shirakura: We hoisted the child actors up on the set (laughs).

>Takebe: What I remember about the casting at the time is that there was talk during the audition that Kaname-kun's "speech was a little..." but Shirakura-san said, "We'll go with Kaname-kun." Tsukada-san brought in Kashu-kun, and I and the female producer at TV Asahi said, "Tomoi (Yusuke)-kun would be good." Perhaps the fact that the three of us each recommended different cast members was a good thing. As for the rest, it was all a first-time experience, so I don't really remember much...
>>
>>23816867
--Those must have been very difficult days.

>Tsukada: I pulled out some old notebooks and found that every time we had a meeting, we'd order a drink at a coffee shop, and I'd written it all down. It was just things like "iced coffee" and stuff like that (laughs).

Takebe: Back then, there was also a TV special (Kamen Rider Agito Special: A New Transformation), right? I was working on something else, but I thought it looked incredibly difficult. It was my first movie, and every day was a whirlwind of shocks.

>Tsukada: I think I also submitted some ideas for "impossible crimes," although they weren't often used. I did use quite a variety of methods for the killings, after all.

>Shirakura: Most of the ideas I came up with for "Kamen Rider Kuuga" weren't used either. I was told, "Yours are too logical," but what's wrong with being logical?! (laughs)
>>
>>23816869
--(laughs). By the way, how did the casting of Yuuchami-san (Aoi Ruriko/Kamen Rider G6), who plays an important role in this work, come about?

>Tsukada: Producer Yoshikawa Fumiki did a great job. He was really working at full capacity, fueled by his passion for "Agito" from his childhood.

>Shirakura: Producer Yoshikawa had Yuchami's name on the list of candidates, and Director Tasaki said, "This is the one." Apparently, she was his top pick, but the fact that he even included her as a candidate is amazing. At least, it wouldn't have occurred to me.

>Takebe: For the G-series suits, appearance is extremely important. We were saying that we wanted someone at least 165 centimeters tall, but Yuchami is 176 centimeters, so I think it was a perfect fit. Filming was tough and hot, but she never complained about anything on set and was a really cheerful person. She apparently thought it was a prank the whole time.

>Tsukada: But that kind of thing happens with movies, doesn't it? When producer Kazuhiro Takahashi mentioned Koji Kikkawa's name for "Kamen Rider W," I thought, "No way, he won't do it," but he did.

>Takebe: We often say, "Listening is free!"
>>
>>23816871
--I think one of the defining features of "Agito" is the contrast between Agito Gills, who awakens to supernatural powers, and the G-series, which was created through human effort.

>Shirakura: It wasn't something I intended from the start. Before the "Agito" project was finalized, during design meetings with Bandai, the theme of "Mecha Kuuga" came up. Of course, at the design stage, there was no setting regarding whether it was human or robot. The starting point was simply deciding that it would be a powered suit worn by a police officer.
>Now, surrounded by transforming Kamen Riders, I can proudly say that Makoto Hikawa is a normal human with no superpowers, simply fighting while wearing a powered suit... But that wasn't the intention; it just happened that way. I feel that it's thanks to the great scriptwriter, Inoue-sensei, who picked up on that idea so well, that we have what we have today.
>>
>>23816873
--In the prototype stage, "Kamen Rider G3," there were many instances where he lost, right?

>Tsukada: That's right. That's why the impact was so great when he became "Kamen Rider G3-X".

>Shirakura: Up until then, he was just a punching bag... (laughs).

>Tsukada: (laughs). I think a big factor was that Inoue-san was fond of Sumiko Ozawa and Toru Hojo. When I received the script and saw the amount of dialogue, I thought, "I knew it!" I have the impression that the entire G-Unit created an important part of Agito.
>>
I didn't want to say it until now, but Shouichi's characterization in the new movie sounds like he's being used as a proxy for Joe Odagiri...
>>
>>23816874
--Makoto Hikawa's performance in "Kamen Rider Agito: Project G4" was also impressive.

>Takebe: That was a movie, and I don't think there was any resistance at all to making Makoto Hikawa the main character.

>Shirakura: The reason we centered the story around Hikawa was because we had the theme "Kamen Rider G4" from the beginning, so it inevitably became a "police vs. Self-Defense Forces, G3 vs. G4" scenario.

>Takebe: It was our first attempt to do a TV series and a film simultaneously, so we thought it would be difficult unless we shifted them slightly. On the other hand, the story of Ryo Ashihara (episode 28, "That Summer Day") was written by Yasuko Kobayashi for the TV series. I think we were trying to balance things like that with the film.

>Tsukada: At the time, Seiji Takaiwa (the suit actor for Kamen Rider Agito) had just finished an all-night shoot and said, "I'm off to film the TV series now!" and I was like, "What!?" (laughs).

>Takebe: I was in a Hiace van with Tsuyoshi Miyazaki (action director) (laughs).

>Tsukada: That's not possible right now, is it? Maybe I shouldn't write about this kind of thing?

>Takebe: It's probably past the statute of limitations now (laughs).
>>
>>23816878
Always have been.
>>
>>23816880
The power transfer leak sounds like the equivalent of Joe passing the Kuuga role to a new actor, but still taking the director's chair
>>
>>23816879
--So everything was a trial-and-error process, right? I doubt you could have imagined the "Kamen Rider" series continuing as it is today?

>Shirakura: We never intended to continue. It was originally supposed to end with "Kamen Rider Kuuga," so it was more like, "Oh, so we're doing one more Kamen Rider series?"
>>
>>23816884
--Looking back now, "Kamen Rider Agito" was a work that created a new format for the Kamen Rider series.

>Shirakura: In hindsight, that's one way to look at it. Kamen Rider Kuuga is a reboot of the Showa Riders, but Agito has aspects of a reboot of the Metal Hero series, such as Tokkei Winspector. Since it aired in the same time slot as the Metal Heroes, it's as if the DNA of Kamen Rider and Metal Heroes merged there, creating one format for the Heisei Riders.

>Takebe: The show had a long-running plot twist, like "the main character's name is actually different," and it was quite a "serial drama."

>Shirakura: We would have a final screening at the studio, and after each screening, Kazunori Numao, who was in charge of production, would turn around and ask, "What happens next?" I'd say, "Well, you already know!" (laughs).

>Takebe: That's right, we were trying to make the pull as strong as possible.
>>
>>23816885
--The first episode of the TV series was told from Makoto Hikawa's perspective, and it had a unique structure in that the identity of Agito's human form was not revealed.

>Shirakura: The light from the belt wasn't enough to show up on camera, so Takaiwa-san had a hot bare light bulb hanging from his waist, and it looked like he was having a hard time.

>Takebe: Even now, Agito is still talked about as a hero shrouded in mystery. The main character doesn't necessarily transform at the beginning and you think, "So this is what transformation is like..." I think it had a unique approach.
>>
>>23816888
--In that sense, I felt that this work is packed with various challenges that have continued from the TV series. Finally, please tell us about the highlights and points of interest from your respective perspectives.

>Takebe: It's amazing that they were able to recreate it to this extent after 25 years. If the staff had been different...for example, if the director hadn't been Tasaki-san and the screenwriter hadn't been Inoue-san, it would have been a completely different film.
>When I spoke with Hitomi Fujita, she said, "It's not that I'm just remembering, it's like Sumiko Ozawa is inside me." The same goes for Hojo (Jun Yamazaki) and Omuro (Akira Shibata); their voices and acting are exactly the same. To remain "exactly the same" after 25 years is not something that can be achieved in any production. In that sense, I think we are witnessing something close to a miracle.

>Tsukada: One of the highlights is the prison scene, where Kyoto actor Teruo Yoshida plays a major role. I think it has the feel of a classic Toei "yakuza film."
>In the Agito TV series, the Unknown attacked people who had the potential to become psychics. If this film embodies the idea that "people awaken to psychic powers and transform into Agito," then it could be said that it shows something that wasn't seen in the TV series.
>Another point is that we created it in a "completely dark bar," which freed us from the "this is how it has to be" constraints of a superhero show (laughs).

>Takebe: (laughs). But I thought a lot of thought had gone into it. At first I wondered, "Why prison?", but when I saw the finished product, combined with Director Tasaki's interpretation and casting, I felt it was truly a story that goes beyond the TV series.
(1/2)
>>
>>23816889
>Shirakura: The biggest challenge this time is that it's a battle between humans. With the theme of "Agito," we can take on a battle between humans, which is hard to call aliens or monsters. In a situation that could otherwise be gruesome, the exceptionally talented screenwriter Mr. Inoue skillfully wrapped it up in a veil and balanced it by adding humorous elements.
>It's very refreshing to watch, and I think it has a very satisfying ending. I hope you'll pay attention to the masterful writing of the script.

Further correction on the Gaim motif part:

>Overview
This work is a street fight-oriented series. While there are precedents for works that focus on battles between Kamen Riders, such as "Kamen Rider Ryuki", "Ryuki" was a battle royale-style story where Riders killed each other for their own selfish desires. In contrast, this work incorporates elements of a power struggle on a group scale, with each Rider battling not for personal gain, but as a representative of their respective groups vying for the Golden Fruit. Furthermore, just as "Kamen Rider Kuuga" used serial killers, which were a source of fear for children at the time, this work, mindful of the Tohoku Earthquake and the subsequent social situation, which were the biggest fears for children at the time of its broadcast, depicts the supernatural disaster of the Helheim Forest encroaching as the greatest threat that demands courage to confront, and the opposing forces are positioned as beings at the mercy of this force [ Source 1 ].

>Helheim Forest
Main writer Gen Urobuchi set up the Helheim Forest as a symbol of the reproductive power of plants and natural disasters, based on the idea of depicting the power of the belt as being two sides of the same coin as the enemy, similar to the setting of the first Kamen Rider series, and also based on the idea that the most frightening thing for the child audience at the time was probably the Tohoku Earthquake. [ 284 ]

>Project Background
At the time of the production announcement, five Kamen Riders —Gaim, Baron, Ryugen, Zangetsu, and Gridon— were revealed, making it clear that the series would feature multiple Riders, similar to "Kamen Rider Ryuki" and "Kamen Rider Kabuto". According to Toei producer Naomi Takebe, she questioned the format of recent Kamen Rider series, which had mainly featured two Riders on television, and decided to create a series with multiple Riders because of the popularity of group idols like AKB48 and team sports such as professional baseball, swimming, and gymnastics [ Source 13 ].

The idea of armored warriors arose from a meeting between Takebe and the Bandai Boys Toy Division Rider Team, where they conceived of fighting with weapons to differentiate it from the previous series, Kamen Rider Wizard , which mainly featured magic with CG effects.[ 15 ] Initially, the concept was for all of them to be Sengoku warlord Riders, but it was difficult to differentiate the characters, so a fruit element was incorporated at Bandai's suggestion. [ 309 ] Variations of armor, including Western and Chinese styles, were also introduced.[ 12 ] [ 355 ]

The fruit idea was proposed because the aforementioned threat, a natural disaster, is a plant and a fruit, [ 6 ] and because it is a favorite of children and can be talked about by people of all ages. It was also incorporated as an element of "hook" because armor alone would have been simply cool.[ 15 ] The motif (basic form) of the main Rider, Gaim, is orange, chosen for its popularity and recognition, and to differentiate it from Kamen Rider Wizard , which was primarily red.[ 309 ] [ 356 ] Other fruits were also chosen for their popularity and recognition, but nuts such as acorns were also included to differentiate the Lockseeds.[ 309 ] [ 357 ] The initial concept for the project was based on the motif of a "bird that eats fruit", so the design of Gaim retains traces of feathers.[ Source 14 ]

(2/4)
>>
>>23817057
The dance team idea was set up as a scapegoat element to distract from the fruit, as it was something more intense than the fruit. [ 6 ]

The design of the transformation belt was conceived because the orange cross section resembled the windmill part of Kamen Rider 1's belt. [ 15 ] [ 355 ] As there are multiple Kamen Riders, several Kamen Riders use the same type of belt, but to differentiate them individually, each Kamen Rider has a faceplate inspired by a cell phone cover. [ 15 ]

>Concept
The initial concept presented for the production of the 15th Kamen Rider series of the Heisei era was "multiple Riders" [ 39 ] [ 40 ]. At the time, idol groups such as AKB48 were popular, and team sports such as soccer, swimming, and gymnastics were gaining popularity, so there was a growing desire to try a multi-Rider series in the Kamen Rider series, which had been using a two-Rider system for four years since Kamen Rider W. [ 40 ]

At the same time, the motif of "warlords of the Sengoku period" was presented, and the image of warriors clad in magnificent armor competing against each other was envisioned. [ 39 ] [ 40 ]

However, the armored warrior motif alone would only result in a cool-looking character lacking appeal. [ 39 ] [ 40 ] Juice was one of the first elements considered as an addition, which eventually led to the use of fruit as a motif. [ 39 ]

Another element added was the lock, which was chosen to symbolize "opening and closing doors to other worlds", and it was decided that it would be the motif for a key item. [ 41 ]

The design team, who were considering developing a figure line, came up with a distinctive visual concept in which "fruit falls from the sky and pierces the character's head, which then transforms into armor", and the selection of the motif went smoothly. [ 42 ]

However, once the character design work began, production became difficult. [ 42 ] It was difficult to differentiate multiple characters because there is not much variation in the armor worn by Japanese warlords. [ 42 ] So they added bird elements and considered having "the main character be a hawk " and "the rival be a crane", but this was ultimately abandoned because there were too many motifs and it would have looked disjointed. [ 42 ]

Instead of introducing bird motifs, a new initiative was introduced to broaden the range of armor that would be produced from Japan to the world. [ 42 ] This is how the design prototypes for the Sengoku-style "Gaim", the Western-style "Baron", and the Chinese-style "Ryugen" were created. [ 42 ]

Meanwhile, there was heated debate over the design of each character's weapon. [ 43 ] Given the motif of Sengoku warlords, the toy team had assumed that swords would be the common weapon, but producer Naomi Takebe objected. [ 43 ] Takebe, who had carefully considered the significance of Kamen Rider's form changes, felt that the conventional "fire form" and "water form" presentations had reached their limits, and argued that "if each suit of armor had its own dedicated weapon, the fighting style would also change when they changed suits". [ 43 ] From the perspective of selling toys, having too many types of weapons would make it difficult to commercialize them all, so Kiyoto Nishizawa of Bandai had thought of "a weapon like a multi-tool that transforms into a sword, bow, and gun", but it was rejected. [ 44 ]

(4/5)
>>
>>23817080
As a compromise between the two opposing viewpoints, it was decided that "only the main character (Gaim) and his rival (Zangetsu) would be equipped with swords" [ 43 ]. Furthermore, it was decided that the main character would wield two swords, and the sword "Musou Saber", which he shares with his rival, and the weapon "Daidaimaru", which is unique to the orange armor, were designed, creating the concept of "Arms Weapons", weapons tied to the armor [ 43 ]. In addition, it was decided that the commercialization of role-playing toys would be limited to the weapons of the main Riders, with other weapons being guaranteed as accessories for the figures [ 44 ].

Is Gavv at least better than Geats? The issues
>>
>>23817118
Different beasts. Gavv feels more grounded while Geats is more fantastical.
>>
>>23817118
Much better, but it still has some issues like peaking at the first quarter, having an extremely incompetent villain group, and some wasted characters and subplots.
>>
>>23817133
>extremely incompetent villain group, and some wasted characters and subplots.
Literally all thr issues if Geats but as long as it's a more focused plot it should be fine

>>23817161
t. seething Geatsfag
>>
>>23817160
They wanted an adult Rider in the Den-O movies when they could only use Kid Ryotaro, and New Den-O was the easiest to fit. Note his appearances stop because Den-O stops getting solo movies and just makes crossover appearances or gets very short specials. They never pushed him as a guest in the bigger crossovers with other Riders (Let's Go Kamen Riders started production as a Den-O movie).
>>
>>23817118
Gavv has a strong first quarter, but spins its wheels really hard for the next 25-30 episodes only to trip and tumble across the finish line with its pants full of shit. Every series Komura has headlined is like this. She can't maintain momentum for 45-50 episodes and she has serious issues with pacing.
>>
>>23817227
Geats kind of fucks around at the end too. The second we got IX the tension just died off. Nobody could deal with him and the villains just sucked balls.
>>
>>23817234
One of Geats many problem is that shopping dates for the final forms got pushed back and they were apparently spinning their wheels because of it. Also Buffa Maou/Plosion Rage didn't even ship despite being the needed payoff for most of Q3 and the Jymato Grand Prix.
>>
>>23817244
>One of Geats many problem is that shopping dates for the final forms got pushed back and they were apparently spinning their wheels because of it
At the very least Keiwa's heel arc kept being delayed by the producer's own choice.

>Also Buffa Maou/Plosion Rage didn't even ship
Takebe said that it got postponed to the V-Cinema because it "changed far too much in a way that wasn’t intended" after it was ordered, which sounds pretty vague.

We also don't know what the deal was with Neon's final form.
>>
>>23817118
Gavv has better characters, story, cases of the week and action imo, the villain faction and final episode are way worse than Geats but the main antagonist isn't as irritating as Suel

Yeah, apparently being tricked into killing Keiwa's sister is way worse than the mass murders he willingly committed 10 episodes ago and is pretty much the only thing he should atone for.

And Daichi's redemption gets even worse in the V-Cinema when we learn his unmonitored, retarded "good guy" experiments were the cause of everything that went wrong in Geats' history.
>>
>>23816849
>mentioned that he needed some time, which showed his determination.
Is it really so unusual for Inoue to do that?
>>
>>23817346
I only have 4 episodes left and I honestly don't want to finish it. The plot is basically a worse version of Gaim with similar issues to Wizard. The best thing out of these last few episodes has been evil Keiwa which they fucked up too. I honestly wish they would have done the orginal idea and had Keiwa become the final villain. Yeah, it's basically Gaim's end but at least Evil Keiwa has some interesting potential

So Fujita did the action for this? I'm really wondering how would he feel with a movie that has such s high budget like this, so I guess Takebe and Fujita won't be in the Den-O movie since they'll probably be working on My-th

Wait what. Zangetsu was supposed to be the secondary?

No, Zangetsu is the "rival" as in the main antagonistic Rider. They gave him the Musou Saber because he also has a Japanese motif, as he's supposed to be a "superior" being to Gaim, which is why his fruit motif was chosen to be a high-class melon and why a shield was chosen as his Arms Weapon (to show that he is superior in both offense and defense).

I actually dislike the idea of Decade Complete Form featuring more than ten Rider cards, not so much because it looks ridiculous, but because I feel that "10" is too important a motif for Decade to abandon. Instead, he should only have ten cards, but he has multiple "settings".

Setting 1: Kuuga, Agito, Ryuki, Faiz, Blade, Hibiki, Kabuto, Den-O, Kiva

The whole reality altering never sat right with me anyway. Everything just feels so convoluted in the grand scheme of things, further complicated by the very, very distant future guys who don't seem to be impacted by any butterfly effect. I dislike Geats for that very core reason.
>>
>>23817624
There are some time travel stories where time is more deterministic. There's no such thing as "butterfly" effect. Unless you can cause a great change in the world, everything will converge to the established future.

Steins;Gate is really big in Japan and it follows this logic.

I may have hated Ghost, but the actor who plays Takeru seems like a pretty cool guy. Apparently he interacted with fans a lot and garnered a lot of good will just by being willing to engage with people positively.
>>
I wish Ghost was better written, bexause it has some of my favourite designs and I love the powers and the music. My personal favourites are Billy the Kid, Beethoven, Goemon and Nobunaga.
>>
>>23817492
Absolutely the characters. The cops barely contribute, Nox is a retard, Minami was just set dressing until now, and we have yet another Takahashi show where basically everyone but the protagonist and his inner circle is an asshole.

>>23817652
is ghost actually good? are there Adult Hobbyist who want this
>>
>>23817717
As someone that detested the show, I feel like Ghost definitely gained a lot more respect because of his actor and how good a lot of the post show content was. Like he was unironically a highlight on Zi-O and it was good to see him back in the Saber x Ghost special.

Hell, I'd say Kanon was an absolute garbage lifeless character in the show, but I was hyped as hell seeing her with more personality in the Saber specials and becoming Kanon Specter. Necrom is also easily a top tier tertiary Rider, it's no wonder his actor is incredibly popular after the show's run. If they did a reunion special and granted Mio's wish of all four transforming together, I would genuinely be excited.
>>
>>23817701
>Ex-Aid
If they're celebrating Ghost's tenth anniversary now, why would they be celebrating the anniversary of the show after it, anon? Ex-Aid is honestly probably going to get a big blow out anyway and CSM is probably guaranteed later on.

>>23817725
Ghost isn't particularly well received, but the toys are honestly really neat aesthetically. It's also just cool in general to have a Ghost Driver that can toggle between Ghost and Specter's standbys.
>>
>>23817699
It can toggle between three modes and the Kanon Specter mode has Mio Kudo's voice lines.

Nishime Shun is a class act, and it's clear he genuinely enjoyed being Kamen Rider Ghost even if the response to the show was mixed at times. He was a darling on Japanese twitter while the show was airing. Apparently his agency forbid their actors under a certain age from interacting directly with fans, but he broke the rules to reach out to a sick kid in the hospital who said watching Ghost gave him strength. Another time a girl posted on J-twitter that her mom forbid her from watching Kamen Rider because it wasn't for girls even thought she wanted to be a Kamen Rider, and Shun sent her a DX Ghost driver and told her she can be a Kamen Rider if she wants to.
>>
>>23817761
Oh yeah, Shun seems like an incredibly lovely person whenever I've seen him interact with people.
>>
>>23817703
Be honest: If you imagine all of the Eyecons to be recast with a more diverse voice actor list, who will you give each of them? Blatantly, I'll take the easy route and give almost everyone their FGO VAs, with a few notable exceptions:
>Musashi: Kengo Kawanishi (he was Miyamoto Iori in Fate/Samurai Remnant, who got his name stolen by FGO's Musashi after she looped back to Las Vegas in Chaldeas, and now took on her role after he himself ended up in Chaldea)
>Nobunaga: Takaya Kuroda (a badass voice like his has to give the character justice)
>Sanzo: Toshihiko Seki (because this is the most badass version of Sanzo we ever got from Saiyuki, and would fit so well for this version)
Anyone else, fill them in yourselves. No Tomokazu Seki from any of them.
>>
>>
>>23817726
The main issue is getting Necrom's actor back, right? Has he been interacting with the Toku community much? Or with the rest of the cast? What are the chances of him coming back one day?
>>
>>23817795
He got interviewed in the 10th anniversary celebration last October.
>>
>>23817797
That's cool. Shame he wasn't available to film anything, but it's still a good start. Hopefully the cast is already planning a 15th anniversary special or something. And who knows, it might even be good
>>
>>23817673
I wouldn't count it out, the inclusion of those sounds is moreso to recreate the scene from episode 38 when Takeru uses all of the Eyecons in succession and because the old toys didn't have every sound programmed in.

Would love to know how long it takes the Toei Asset people to create assets for a new show. How long before the show starts they have the initial stuff down, how soon they have a 3d model ready for cgi use etc etc.
>>
>>23817807
They usually start working on the next show as soon as the current one starts airing. So when Zeztz episode 1 airs, the staff behind the scenes are already working in My-th
>>
>>23817809
I don't think that's the case since Ohmori did Ex-Aid and Build back to back. They also only start filming for the next show just as the current one is filming its last few episodes, and that hasn't changed even in the new production schedule.
>>
>>23817813
You sure? My-th is already announced and it's 20 weeks away. The Mouse Rider sketch also came out a month ago, so that means they have the main suits ready. And those usually go through a long concept stage as Bandai and PLEX need to hash out that season's concept and themes first, which also involves getting a writer on board

>>23817827
Well, to be honest, I am not liking Kabuto at all so far. I can't get a read on if it wants to be a comedy or a drama, it can't make up its mind. One episode is the goofiest shit ever made, the next one is beyond serious. It has some of the best framed scenes I've seen in a toku (the sunset fight with TheBee) and then it has some of the most frustrating scenes I've seen follow. The gimmick with Daisuke and the makeup was old the first time it happened.

Tendou just aura farms and talks nonsense about his grandma, Hiyori is just sad, Daisuke wastes screen time, and right now at least Kageyama is a lame antagonist I guess I dunno what they are even doing. Kagami is the only normal character so far and maybe that's the point.
>>
As I was saying before the site crashed: What's confusing is the CSM Ghost Driver (a full-scale modding of the original with extra gimmicks added in) and the Atlas Zecter (which only has the Zecter and no belt) are the exact same price, probably because the Zecter has touch screen gimmicks mixed in (in addition to the BD/DVD pack-in, of course).
>>
>>23817814
I checked some dates. Minato was poached to work on the show that would end up being Gotchard around October of 2022, which is when episodes 5 to 9 of Geats aired. So they start pre-production on the next show a bit later than what you claimed.

And since we know Gotchard started on September of 2023, that means the staff gets a little less than a year to prepare the show prior to the airing of its first episode.

Also, they do still film the shows pretty much back to back, Fujita straight up said in an audio track for Gavv that there was no change in the shooting schedule, since the shooting time was advanced but so was the delivery time. He said that the audience misunderstood and thought the shooting schedule had been extended, but it actually wasn't.

And to get an idea on how long it might take for Bandai to prepare the toys, a leaked design document for the Holy Wing Vistamp was dated September 13th 2021, which is just a day after the airing of Revice's second episode. The listing with the toy's price and the release date was leaked on October 24th of that same year. On February 23rd 2022, we got pics of the covers of the magazines that were supposed to reveal the toy and the form to the public, and a day later the contents of said magazines were leaked alongside a photo of the toy's packaging. The toy officially released on March 12th of 2022, the same date that the listing specified.

NTA, but by the time Zeztz episode 1 premiered, they already doing pre-productions and preparing for shooting on January. I meant Yuya Nawata practically hinting it too on his new year greetings at twitter.
>>
>>23817860
And to further corroborate Fujita's claims, we know that Gavv started filming in March of 2024 and that it wrapped up filming on March 19th 2025 (the summer movie was filmed later on in April). Color said in late February of 2025 that Gavv would end filming in March (later confirmed by the staff after the last episode aired) and that the next show (Zeztz) would start filming that same month.

>I meant Yuya Nawata practically hinting it too on his new year greetings at twitter.
Nawata isn't working on Zeztz, or at the very least he hasn't been part of any of the first 30 episodes of the show.
>>
>>23817875
>Source?
No source yet, but based on Nox actor revealing Zeztz already filmed 6-7 months on his vlogs, it's safe to assume My-th is on pre-production period before filming started on January.

>Nawata isn't working on Zeztz
I meant Nawata is probably gonna involved on My-th, but TBA whether he's the main suit actor or not.
>>
Kamen rider 41:
- Theme for series Western Super Heroes and old anime (war).
-Old v New.
-Zeztz to test what audience think of changer being different parts of body.
-Will be multiple rivals.
-Focus on arms change/leg change.
-Kabuto switch weak main and strong second.
-Similar Captain America look.
>>
>>23817878
>but based on Nox actor revealing Zeztz already filmed 6-7 months on his vlogs,
Gavv also filmed roughly 6 months in advance.

>it's safe to assume My-th is on pre-production period before filming started on January.
There's no indication that My-th started filming in January outside of your theory regarding Nawata's generic New Years' Tweet, especially if Color's claims about Zeztz starting filming in March are indeed true and we take what Fujita revealed about the current filming schedule into account.
>>
>>23817860
It also depends on which came first. Did they pick Minato and then start coming up with Gotchard's setting with his assistance, or did they decide on the tone and setting of Gotchard and then picked Minato because they thought he'd be a good pick?

It's this, Minato was in the meetings where they sat down to sort that stuff out. Everything we know about Gotchard's pre-production comes from interviews of his where he explains how it went down.

Ace should've also gone through this humiliation.
>>
>>23817913
But he's the STAR of the STAR of the STARS, don't you clap every time he's on screen and always cheer for him and ask why isn't he on screen when he's not on screen?
>>
>>23817907
They're very pettable
>>
>>23817912
So if they begin pre-production in October, and filming starts in March, that means they have about 5 months to come up with that show's suits and toyline. Similarly, the final forms take about 6 months to go from the conceptualisation stage to the release stage. The final forms being designed around when the first episode is released means they usually plan things out 30 episodes in advance

The Holy Wing Vistamp dates don't apply to every show (Live didn't even get his final form in the same quarter as Revice, though there are some Secondaries who do get their final forms in the same quarter as the Main, and an actual late Q3 form like Genius got its concept art leaked in December though we don't know the date in which it was actually finished), nor do they apply to the current schedule where everything is planned and carried out much earlier than it was back during Revice. I pointed them out to get a rough estimate on how much time it takes Bandai to go from a toy's finalized concept, to its store orders, then its public advertisement, and finally its actual release in stores and debut in the show.
>>
>>23817918

Okay, the only "excuse" that partially made Ghost a trainwreck was all of its resources being siphoned by Kamen Rider Amazons, which led to a deadline crunch with some of the suits, particularly Mugen Damashii. The rest is just the writer not knowing how to write for toku, and still doesn't know how to during Saber, and everyone agrees.

Interesting that they liked Saber more than Build, but what this really shows is that they fucking LOVE Gaim. Numbers 2 through 7 are all the most recent shows except Gotchard, Revice and Zi-O, so Gaim being there is an anomaly. I assume Zeztz isn't here because they're not ranking the most recent season

How
>>
>>23817967
Some people would argue that Saber is good, but that doesn't really matter since Fukuda barely wrote for Saber anyways. He only wrote 14 of the show's episodes and didn't even do the final arc. He did end on a high note though, since Kenzan VS Desast was a pretty good episode
>>
>>23817974
Most people who watch Toku do it with their brains turned off so they're fine with dumber plots and characters as long as the broad strokes are appealing and the characters look cool
>>
>>23817967
>the only "excuse" that partially made Ghost a trainwreck was all of its resources being siphoned by Kamen Rider Amazons
That's complete bullshit.
>The rest is just the writer not knowing how to write for toku, and still doesn't know how to during Saber, and everyone agrees.
It's not that he doesn't know how to, the man made Alain's arc, the problem is that he has commitment issues and his producer didn't know how to work around them. But he finally found a way to work around them in Saber by not having him work as the sole main writer and making the story a collaborative effort between the show's assorted group of writers.
>>
>>23817938
Why did they change their filming schedule anyway
>>
>>23817977
Sounds like he would have worked better as a supporting writer instead of the head writer. I don't expect him to ever be head writer ever again, but he'll definitely get more work with Toei for smaller arcs or movies
>>
>>23817975
>but that doesn't really matter since Fukuda barely wrote for Saber anyways. He only wrote 14 of the show's episodes
He wrote about the same amount of episodes as the other 2 writers (Hasegawa and Mouri) that were working on the show since the start. It was like Gotchard with Uchida and Hasegawa.

What even is this poll and what is it about?

>>23817978
So that they can get by with filming enough time before the scheduled end dates of the shows. It was at the risk of failing because the changes even killed off Movie Wars (Sentai crossovers still work), but everyone has to go through baby steps after all.
>>
>>23817994
Movie Wars will probably come back in a few years when everyone's used to the new schedule. At the very least, they're definitely making a Reiwa Generations movie for the 10th anniversary series
>>
>>23817970
That's not gaim, that's Blade. You can see there's also kenzaki ranked 6th on the individual rider section.
>>
>>23817981
>Sounds like he would have worked better as a supporting writer instead of the head writer
Saber had even the auxiliary writer they brought into the team over halfway through the show handle important episodes. If Fukuda had been treated like the usual sub-writer then he probably wouldn't have been assigned to do plot-relevant episodes like pic related and might not have gotten to write Trio of Deep Sin. They managed him the best way they possibly could've.
>>
>>23818000
Oh shit, yeah, that makes it even more amazing. It's an early Heisei show that beat out a ton of Reiwa and late Heisei shows including overall fan favourites like Den-O, W and Build

The whole reason that Ghost went to shit according to its head director Morota was that the show changed setting 3 times due to parents complaining about Ghost's cameo in the Drive Summer movie. Takahashi-P had the story reworked and they did reshoots for the first two episodes which had already been filmed by then causing some scheduling issues. According to Takahashi-P the only concepts that survived the cut were Alain's character arc and Adonis because those were the only two things that Takahashi-P wasn't willing to cut even if parents would complain, which incidentally both were written by Fukuda.
Ultimately since Saber also had to reshoot early on and partially change its setting we don't know if Fukuda not writing a lot is the result of the production resets, him not being used to toku akin to the situation that happened with Blade's first writer, Takahashi-P not seeing him to write the show alone leading to micromanaging multiple writers to handle plot relevant stuff akin what happened with Magiranger or a mix of all of the above. Personally I think it's a mix of the first two.

Personally I think it's a mix of the first two.
The part where Fukuda has the smallest amount credits is late into the show though. From 29 to 38 he writes nothing. Returns for 2 episodes, then returns again for 47-49.

It seems more like he didn't expect the movie to be such a heavy workload and that messed up his schedule late into the show. Before that he had a pretty consistent schedule of writing two episodes and then someone else wrote the next arc, in rotation.

They really should've seen that coming since the season is called fucking Ghost. Of course concerned parents will think it's too scary
>>
>>23818121
Skill issue, parents complained about Jetman and Ryuki yet the staff just ignored them to the shows' benefit both critically and financially. Also Abaranger but in that case they did have to abide near the end because sponsors threatened to pull out from the show.

>Personally I think it's a mix of the first two.
Someone already explained Ghost, but this also probably isn't the case with Saber either since, although Fukuda had promised in the press conference that he would be more present for it, the constant writer rotation was in effect pretty much since the start of the show and the plot didn't noticeably stagnate whenever the other writers got to handle the episode scripts. Hasegawa, the writer with the highest amount of script credits in the show, straight up said there wasn't a sole head writer for Saber, it was a collaborative effort between the writers.

I wanna ask, though, what is Fukuda's major genre of writing, anyway? If he only has done both Ghost and Saber, what other credits does he have outside toku?

He wrote scat movies, hence ghost and saber being one of those categories

In toku, besides KR, he's secondary writer for Ultraman Max and Ultraseven X. For J-drama, the only series I watched where he is the writer were TRICK.

Dedication to the role
>>
>>23818447
He's primarily a drama and comedy writer, although before that he was a stageplay writer for TOHO (the Godzilla guys)
He's best known for the Detective Yabe Kinzo series which is really beloved in Japan, Sousa Chizu no Onna is also considered to be an underrated classic
He's generally a well regarded writer outside of toku, he got his position as writer for Ghost because the producer didn't care much for who would write his show and asked the channel to pick for him insetad, they picked him due to being good at drama and having worked as an episode writer for Ultrmana Man and Ultraseven X, then the same producer just hired him again for Saber

>>
>>23818492
You know how he messed up in revealing spoilers in one of his earlier videos, so he had gone full Nox mode at this rate.

>>23818487
Ah, so the producer is to blame in all this. Lazy fuck. If Fukuda did great outside of toku, then he should reject the producer's invite next time, or maybe work with a different producer.
>>
>>23818513
Being a good drama writer doesn't necessarily make you a good toku writer, look at Blade's first half
That said yeah Ghost is the producer's fault due to him abandoning their original plans due to the response of the Drive movie, they had to change the worldview of the show 3 times and not use the original visual esthetic planned which was meant to be more Showa-like with Alan's arc being one of the few things that survived the cut

But Saber's issues were due to Covid, originally the protagonist Touma was meant to be a lone swordsman who wasn't part of the order who retained his memories from the Luna incident and became a novelist to record the incident in hopes other people remembered it, he would then travel all across Japan meeting other Riders as originally the Riders that weren't part of the main trio were meant to be guardians of different regions of Japan
The staff managed to film two episodes under this premise but then covid happened so they had to scrap this because they weren't able to film all across Japan anymore and felt it was too dark for the current climate due to the virus, it's why Touma is so basic in the first quarter since they scrapped his whole deal and still weren't sure on what direction to take him, then the pacing was weird because they were behind schedule due to the reshoots which is why we got the Swordsmen Chronicle miniseries which was basically the scenes they had to cut or weren't able to film on timr
The story of Saber got better in Q2 because it's basically them trying to go back as much as possible to the original plan now that the covid situation had calmed by branding Touma a traitor

Regardless the producer isn't going to make more mainline toku since he got promoted into an executive after Saber ended

Did they kill off Kento, then have him seal swords so Saber is less of a Swordsmen Sentai?
>>
>>23818767
Originally the other swordsmen that weren't the main trio weren't going to team up as often but since they couldn't have cotw due to covid it ended up feeling that way
Kento dying then coming back as a villain was planned from the very beginning but I wouldn't be surprised if the sealing gimmick was done for the reason you said or because they they considered killing the other riders but changed their mind
>>
>>23818791
Well Kento was also originally planned to come back as the swordsman of light early on at one point too until they decided to make Yuri a separate character

Gaim has a lot of Lockseeds but only ever uses like 3 at a time which could be carried on the belt (many series are like Gaim where the Rider only ever really uses the main form and their newest upgrade).
Drive and Ghost can also have their items move independently.

That's Black blindanon, it wasn't written by Inoue's father, his last time as head writer was the first half of Skyrider
Black was initially written by the head writer of the first few Sentai and Metal Heroes, but he left the show very early on due to creative conflicts with the rest of the staff, most of the show had no head writers but for the final arc they managed to get the guy who wrote Winspector and Kakuranger to handle the final arc which was amazing
Also as to the Inoue river thing the urban myth explanation for it is that he got the idea from the short period he served as head writer for the original Ranma anime

However I found years later that Ghost's side content actually helps mitigate some of the issues
I haven't watched Ghost since my first time weekly but imo it's still the 3rd worst Kamen Rider show, with Revice being the worst and Wizard the second worst, but I also haven't rewatched those shows since seeing them weekly back then, and I might have been extra harsh with Wizard since it was the first Kamen Rider show I watched weekly
>>
>>23819102
...Wizard? Really? I found Wizard to be aggressively "fine". At least it doesn't actively fall apart in the second half like Hibiki.
>>
>>23819106
I don't know I just legitimately disliked every single character of the show with the exception of Haruto, Nito, Gremlin and Phoenix plus also found most of the Phantom of the weeks aggressively boring, compared to that I ended up liking more characters from Ghost, Hibiki, Zi-O, Gotchard and Decade, and even though those shows fell apart I found myself more actively entertained by them than Wizard
But like I said I'm probably really biased against Wizard because it was the first Rider season I watched I weekly so I probably had unrealistic expectations for it back then, specially due to how awesome the first episode was

In the original premise, Touma (a lone wolf novelist here) would've initially been at odds with the strict rule-abiding swordsmen from various organizations in the various cities he traveled to, once they met him they would start to feel that books are interesting, and through battles they would gradually deepen their bonds and eventually come together to fight a great evil (basically like most other Rider shows), there's no mention that the other two members of the trio would be any different in that regard, It's just mentioned that the trio are holy knights and special beings who can use the power of 3 Books through the Swordriver, while Buster, Kenzan and Slash use specialized combat swords derived from the Swordrivers (this bit actually made it to the show). When they scrapped that during Covid, they made the swordsmen a team of allies from the start (though you can still see there's a little friction going on between them like when Kento and Rintaro argued over following the SoL'd orders or when Ogami, Daishinji and Ren started out having a low opinion of Touma) with Calibur as the sole antagonistic Rider to make things more lighthearted and hopeful for the kids, but it being Sentai-like was deliberate because they were planning to gradually return to a more classic Kamen Rider style at the end of the year, with swordsmen fighting to understand each other's burdens due to differences in ideology and beliefs .

From the end of the year through the New Year, the story gradually returns to the Kamen Rider style, with swordsmen fighting to understand each other's burdens due to differences in ideology and beliefs, though their infighting matches have a different meaning than the clashes between Riders in previous series.

>>23819117 cont.
Kento was planned from the start to leave the show and return, but he was originally intended to come back as the wielder of the Sword of Light. However, the concept of the Sword of Light was changed early on so that the sword would be the Rider itself, and they thought someone who transformed into a sword couldn't be an ordinary human, so they created Yuri's character to be Saikou and had Kento return as Calibur instead.

>>23819106
Wizard is pretty horrible and will bore someone to death.
Hibiki falls apart but it at least has good episodes in that last third, and the characters are good even if the already thin plot goes to shit. Wizard doesn't even have that, it's on the same level as Revice where they only have one interesting character and the show tosses them in the garbage.

as far endings go "all is right with world" but Kotaro gets the short end of the ending.

Black RX are more happy times for him (after episode 1) and he deserves that after all his suffering.
>>
>>23819129
Wizard doesn't deserve to be called a 1/10. Because it's not. It's not a total failure. It's FINE.

It's the most 5/10 there has ever been.

Which is arguably a worse rating than a 1/10. Because at least people remember 1/10s.
>>
>>23819130
Kotaro gets a new family in Black RX.
>>
>>23819140
Nah Gotchard is the most 5/10, Wizard is not the worst either but it's definitely below average
>>
>>23819147
at least I agree that Wizard and Gotchard are similar in that way

>>23818829
yeah books as a gimmick is an interesting idea but the execution was awful with their jingles and how stacked and heavy the belt looked, the belt was also really ugly with and without the books
saber was just so shit

So true
The belts are literally just racks
>>
>>23818887
>Kiva and W only need to carry 3/4 small objects at a given time
Kiva's Fuestles only appear upon transforming, where they suddenly appear in the belt's holders when the strap materializes. He only needs Kivat, which is a sentient being that flies towards him and doesn't need to be carried around.

>Gaim has a lot of Lockseeds but only ever uses like 3 at a time which could be carried on the belt
The gimmick holder only manifests after the transformation, not when Kouta puts the belt on, and the Lockseeds do exist and are interacted with outside of the transformation unlike the Fuestles, so Kouta has to personally carry them with him. He is shown carrying Orange around on a strap he put on his pants, but only that Lockseed.

Makes sense since they're meant to be like book shelves.

I can get used to Fourze but I really hate that final form suit
>>
Finally finished Zi-O, I think my favorite parts were the middle arcs and these last 3 episodes. From the former I mostly enjoyed Woz getting a lot of the spotlight between the base form and Ginga, Geiz getting his final form, the whole Zi-O II stuff (but not the arc with Another Zi-O II). And as always Tsukasa is great to watch, I kinda liked him showing up every once in a while. I think from this cast I'm gonna miss Woz the most. As for this final arc, the final battle was a great payoff imo, although it feels weird that Tsukuyomi really only gets one episode as a Kamen Rider, you'd think they'd give it to her earlier so the entire main cast is all Riders.
>>
>>23818749
The suit looks better when they remove the yellows.
>>
>>23819239
Couldn't agree more. The yellow looks like a toy or safety equipment. Police should be more "heavy". This shit is deployed in emergency, extremely fucking serious situations; no need for safety protocol because it's not part of any regular protocol to begin with.
>>
>>23819236
From what I recall Tsukuyomi's suit wasn't ready in time so she only got to transform pretty late into the show
>>
>>23819236
>it feels weird that Tsukuyomi really only gets one episode as a Kamen Rider, you'd think they'd give it to her earlier so the entire main cast is all Riders.
They couldn't decide a design for her Rider form in time so they had to keep pushing it back. Her past was supposed to be a bigger part of the show's mystery element but it wasn't for this very same reason.

It was the literal final episode.
>>
>>23819255
IIRC when the suit was first revealed someone edited the yellow to look less vibrant and it fits really well. The bright really clashes.
>Police should be more "heavy"
Exactly. While I like the sword design, seeing G7 wielding it looks off, we're used to heavy equipment that G3 used to have, I want to see that. Granted you could say the sword is also a representation of how the technologies getting streamlined, but still.

Hideyoshi Kan's live reaction to getting the role of Kamen Rider Geats
>>
>>23819409
You can tell just how hard he worked hoping to get the role. So full of gratitude.
>>
>>23819422
For most actors, this is the first role they'll ever get. Getting a leading role as your first attempt at breaking into filming sounds life changing
>>
>>23819022
I'm pretty sure the only lead Rider who straight up permadied was OOO and that was received so badly who knows if they'll have that stick. For a while it seemed like Faiz also was dead but Paradise Regained revealed he didn't after all.
>>
>>23818600
>>23818624

It's still amazing he somehow managed to partially reverse twink death in his late 40s.

I thought Blade was so horribly unpopular they couldn't do better than a stage show for it's anniversary. Where is this popularity coming from all of a sudden.

I guess they're in the same Toei sphere, plus Kohaku is so naturally personable that most just become easy friends with her.

In fairness, Decade is one of the more interesting protagonists, in part due to being a deliberate subversion of lead Riders. Different from Tendou, Tsukasa is someone who doesn't really have a very solid moral compass. He has a vague understanding of right and wrong, but he struggles to understand what the "right thing to do" in any given situation. Much of the show is Tsukasa learning what it means to be a hero through his interactions with various Riders. It's more subtle than what we see these days, and while the show never really spells it out to you, much of his show is about Tsukasa learning what it means to be a hero. Only for it all to come crumbling down because the universe really, REALLY does not want Decade to be a hero. Decade is the Great Leader, he's supposed to be an antagonist that the heroes are meant to defeat. If the villain refuses to be a villain, then the foundational narrative of the Rider Worlds completely falls apart.

I think this meta narrative is what makes Tsukasa such an endearing character despite the mixed reception of his show. There's just something attractive about a villain trying so hard to be a hero despite being so clumsy at it. His actions often hurt those close to him, but he's trying his best to do what's right, even if he doesn't completely understand it.

The yellow makes it pop a bit more. He doesn't really look like a main character like this.

Does anyone still do the transformation pose anymore or is that just Showa?

they all do them, it's just that they also hold a toy so it's hard to notice

Man I watched that shit in theatre after not watching ANY toku for over ten years because I was such a big Faiz fan. Words cannot describe how disappointed I was.
