The model for the Pokémon, Jynx, may be Wooko, one of the Woo monsters that appear in this anime.
Interestingly, all of her body hair is described as "head hair" in the opening.
Incidentally, the original Woo looks like this. She is modeled after a hermit, but her portrayal in the show is almost that of a "Yuki-onna.

Strange they went with CSM first then DX
copper sky
Not really in my eyes, with how the belt was in the show and how recent this engineering they're doing for a belt like this required csm qaulity.
With Amazon it made sense to go dx first as it wasn't a complicated belt at all
Just a simple tab on the face plate to determine what led to turn on and twisting a handle
copper sky
Yeah just checked thier recently toy blog for this, they mention how they never considered a dx release cause of the show and a the automation system being that costly to produce

King ohger ep 29 is straight forward the best episode in sentai history
It's decent enough, not a big fan of how || they don't bother showing how much people view jeramie before this, like before the time skip everyone was unsure and then we get nothing until 29 where we seem people hate him cause he took the blame. Before that we get nothing of thier opinions and yeah I get that 2 years isn't alot of time, seeing anything for jeramie kingdom is way better than just showing it being destroyed by the new big bad group||

The most recent episode was handle very well though
marsh cypress
First half feels like anime while second half feels more toku
copper sky
The first half while definitely more interesting compared to most series by focus alot on the politics of being a king is rather boring
Especially some episodes after jeramie debut
They have the issue dealing with problems or begin new one too fast that it there's no real impact even to it. It can be tie to a good message and idea and I can agree with the idea but not the execution
That's probably why I like the recent episode so much

feels like Fourze kind of show
really episodic, high energy and getting new items everytime
so far it seems silly and not much going on but that's kind of the intention they wanted to go for
so far it seems they will introduce new characters and make the show get the first stakes
is a change of pace imo needed for the franchise, as the previous shows were like "plot twist after plot twist in every chapter" and Geats really dragged stuff till the end because there was always a drama going on, while this feels more like W in terms of "slow pacing with characters being introduced and developing"

what does this mean
dawn bone
idek
atomic badger
probably refers to kr quality over the years
idk much about family guys but i do heard old family guy has alot more enjoyable content . Kinda like showa , its very interesting to watch some limitations during it's time and overall "charming" you would say . Heisei redefines some genre while bringing in new trope in the table also that time when family guy was like changing up some of it's trope . Reiwa is eh...idk
golden spade
Reiwa is still too early to tell
its been doing stuff but is really experimental at times, at least we got over the idea of having a final form that is just the name of the opening for no reason
copper sky
I don't expect much of a full on shake up for reiwa till maybe 3-4 years from now
Like early heisei was a massive shift since it needed one, second half of heisei they began to take interest in more story driven narrative with gaim and push the toy gimmick more with W
Reiwa in toei eye doesn't need anything so much beside some less common things being more the norm like female riders and I guess LED belts
Though they might be hesitant on led just a bit cause the one for gotchard isn't doing so great compared to the last two but I assume that because the belt itself isn't all that good
Unironically if not for the design, the legend driver would be the best driver in gotchard with how much it can do
neon solar
i'm glad the stupid family guy thing i thought about for .2 seconds before i posted it here has inspired such discussion lmao
i think reiwa is definitely a mixed bag so far
zero one seems strong despite pandemic fuckery
saber is raw ass
revice started decent and shat the bed
geats is ???lmao?? and gotchard i've heard is good but the main actor is not the greatest
one of my friends who's a big riderhead attributes a lot of problems with the franchise atm to toy shilling having hit critical mass and i kinda agree with him
ofc heisei had toy shilling too especially towards the end but i think it was definitely more balanced with actual good writing
golden spade
I mean one of the most TOy shilled to death shows was Build and everyone loved it
compared to the early stages is greater but haven't changed much
i think early heisei isn't really great most of the time so the toys really didn't had much impact imo
Geats so far seems to be the most competent reiwa season but doing Gaim again isn't really a big thing
i think Gotchard is fine, hating the actor feels like a stretch to me, we had worse in the past from loved shows, too
Reiwa is still early, and if i think about it just i think about the first shows of each "generation" i don't think is that terrible, but is not great either
neon solar
oh yeah build definitely had just as much toy shilling as reiwa if not more
but idk, i felt the story was more like
cohesive??
it worked better with fullbottles than say, saber with the stupid books
atomic badger
we have fruit jesus , book jesus and miracle jesus now whats else
dawn bone
yea reiwa is def still green
ill let them cook for sure
zero one though still hails as the best Overall reiwa series for me
like i havent watched kr since revice?
Really felt like they could not grab me
maybe if they actually make a full shinobi series and not a short web one
shinobi was fucking bomb
for how short it was
golden spade
it worked better with fullbottles than say, saber with the stupid books
i mean, the Buckles were really consistent all things considered, so far Gotchard cards feels like they are just redoing the fullbottles and the progrise keys were
A thing
like yeah Saber is a bad competitor but is actually a really bad one to start making comparison to others
golden spade
yea reiwa is def still green
but yeah i do agree with this
i think Geats was a good example of rider actually learning from their past mistakes as they literally tried to sold onto the idea of "less noisy" toys for once and doing a different kind of plot, Gotchard feels more like the standard show so far but i think it has the charm like fourze, so maybe is up to see what's the next thing reiwa has to offer if it wants to not stick to the "heisei phase 3" vibes people have given to it
copper sky
I think a issues I have didn't necessarily start with reiwa but with build sorta is the idea that "wr just need more rider" to where you almost forgot that normal people live in the world. Like geats can get away with it as that was the main premise of the series. But something like revice where "do we really need Aguilera to be a rider" or even just most of saber vast needing to be a rider despite not doing much till the very end and for character focus episode
Zero one was also this but it didn't have a huge cast so I never felt the bloat all that much
Gotchard at the moment is safe from that but leaks and rumor suggest it won't be for long
coarse bough
idk I've been vibing pretty hard with Reiwa era 
Like it's not fantastic but it's still Kamen Rider and I can't really bring myself to dislike much of it
The closest I got to being really disappointed was with Saber and that still won me over in the end.
But I'm not very critical of the media I watch in general.
So maybe I'm just going too easy on it.
I enjoyed Zero-One the most by far, I enjoyed Saber upon a rewatch, I liked Revice fine, Geats was banging, and I won't watch Gotchard until it finishes because I'm a maniac.
golden spade
Gotchard at the moment is safe from that but leaks and rumor suggest it won't be...
so far gotchard has really been good on that and i don't mind more riders
but i do agree on that because is annoying how people treating the non rider members of the cast as "irrelevant" is sort of why nowadays everything needs to be a rider to be relevant
having valvard as a new pseudo rider made me happy
golden spade
But I'm not very critical of the media I watch in general.
That's fine tbh
golden spade
So maybe I'm just going too easy on it.
in the end we watch the stuff because we want to have enjoyment in our free time and there's something in that stuff that makes us happy or just have a good time, is no problem if you just enjoy it in that way

Luckily you can just buy the belt
I don't think the bow actually does much so it really is just "do I want to complete the look"

the only thing outside of making a new belt is maybe just outright removing the top head similar to like zero one driver

As good as Wizard?
maybe better
also he killing his own kinda
and has emphathy in sparing them if they stop using drugs
kinda like addiction in W
but unlike W where they just ebat the shit out of them
Gavv is fighting his own kind so usually he will ask them whether they quit using it or he will kill them
fringe mango
Maybe I'll watch them
i think the main character despite looks clueless and silly about everything
but thats bc he not familiar with earth
he still have common sense and you will see that whenever he interact with his kind

The funniest part being they didn't include a thing to plug the cable into a socket
Just the cable for the phone, it's not hard to find one laying around your house or to buy one but why not just include one

Just use those existing taser phone case
Pretty much the same thing since kaixa phone is part taser

Gavv ep 3 probably the best ep for the begin of the story

wow
they finally got the extra .5 needed to make it a 2
i assume they finally managed to get voiceline into the memories, but i wonder if they finally found a way to get old voice clip from the show or if they actually got the two actor together. that and maybe gotten the belt to have actual noises and not just a hunk of plastic to trigger the sound
If you want to count the fuuto version, then W has managed to get 4 csm belt for just doubledriver
fuuto version is a weird place cause the only difference is the memories and they're just using the same belt as 1.5,
sour wagon
v1 is the original CSM one
v1.5 has the glitter stuff iirc on the gaia memory and more detailed on belt
anime ver is well, using anime voiceline
v2 finally they able to bring Phillip and Shotaro voice to the CSM, the detail is probably the same as v1.5
Honestly this is not surprising coming from Bandai lol
The thing is why they couldn't make Den-O v1.5 where there's Takeru Satoh voice when they could bring Masaki Suda on v2 W CSM, even as what we know, Den-O is the golden kid of Kamen Rider

Anime version is funny cause alot of the soundclips are used for the toku itself like recreating the double maximum drive with heat and trigger

sour wagon
They really milked W this hard huh
W series L bandit
Probably using the mechanic from bootleg csm one
copper sky
I'm surprised they're doing this instead if announcing another lost driver version for skull anime va
They already made a joker memory with tokime va
copper sky
They really milked W this hard huh
But also this is for the version 2 of the W driver
So you might not be able to get it separately
Like how the gokai gun was only available if you bought the bundle version of the sword
Despite them not having anything special that requires the both of them like for example the 555 belt and the gear
copper sky
They finally said extreme memory, which isn't surprising since they already imply the fang memory will be included
sour wagon
Not gonna lie man but after how good bootleg is now, I kind of choose bootleg instead of CSM lol
Tried bootleg OOO and Kaixa CSM, mannn they're so good for that price

Consider this, there's atleast a 1% chance of finger on the trigger song by the two actor again
copper sky
Still there
But also yeah they release the pv for it, wireless connection to another W belt to replicate the Phillip stuff or do it solo, and the memories also have a similar connection
I assume it's just doing what the faiz belt does, the memories are sending and receiving signal to whatever other memories is being used
Instead of what the fuuto memory did where you hold the silver button to switch between finisher, the signal will tell it what the memory is on the belt to activate the unique finisher sound
As a result, it's much more expensive
But atleast the extreme memory and fang are separate
copper sky
Apparently in the vlog they didn't get the Two in a booth
But they are using the actual show for this, mention how the audio they have right now are really ambient so they're going to reduce it as much as possible
sour wagon
That's... disappointing
No look, it's CSM, the expensive toy, and if they're using the show voice and reduce the noise, v2 release is just bad tbh
Like they could just do this for v1 instead, since the beginning. But no, they choose to not to
copper sky
They're only doing it this one time cause they managed to get the best possible raw audio qaulity for this particular show
They mentioned they'll probably never do it again as a result unless they're pushed against a wall
So I doubt they'll do it with shows before 2009 cause who know what the raw audio qaulity they have is like. Toei already bad at preserving things and most likely tv Asahi is just very dickish about this considering they're part of the reason why official rider license is split up so any company can grab a rider series
Leading to a mixed bad of qaulity in either video or translation
Compared this to ultraman where one Company own streaming rights and one own the distribution rights
I mean obviously the real actor are ideal but I rather they just do this (for a cheaper price imho) than release another 1.5 version
sour wagon
late sierra
The max size CSM belts can take is 38-39 inches yeah?
sour wagon
Depnds on the CSM itself ig
copper sky
Yeah
Like i think technically agito belt can be that but heard how weak the strap is due to how the belt is design
Which can break if you're above the "expected" size
dawn bone

stiff idol
Chance to get a Black RX suit even though it’s tied to an infamous adaptation.
copper sky
so they made their own
It possibly just another spare toei gave them as I think the stunt performer had trouble moving much in these suits when they had them
As I also remember hearing how dragon knight actor talking about how tiny the suit were when he tried them on
dawn bone
remember asian sizes on western sizes
copper sky
It's finally a thing now
There's a built in pre-shred card that slides down a bit while the actual card is right behind the cover
neon solar
oh that's cool
copper sky
Sadly it doesn't read any cards, the progrise key itself play the card by pressing the button
Which makes some sense I guess, everytime it said a card name it was always when zein showed it to the camera
And never when he put in the driver
It would be cool to own but they decided to only have 5 cards for this and you just need buy a set of card that has the rest. So 15k yen for just the belt and 5 cards is a hard sell
dawn bone

i don't know much about him but he seems like a pretty sweet character

yeah i don't actually know if what i said was a spoiler or just. the basis of the character
but either way very cool
also you know what else was awesome

i think his miniseries was maybe the best part of revice

I'm a sucker for themes of learning how to love yourself again and Revice is just that in kamen rider form and it's

i never finished it to be honest.....
i haven't really fucked w any of reiwa rider stuff tbh
feels like they way threw off the balance of good and toy shilling
coarse bough
yeah the "play toys" part of kamen rider has been layered on a bit more thick recently
But I think a lot of it is still pretty good media if we can look past that
smiles in the like eight kamen rider manga of varying degrees of seriousness
neon solar
true
i heard geats was really good but i just didn't like the revolving gimmick + the battle royale format
coarse bough
Geats is peak
I say despite saying that about every season of KR
But Geats is genuinely good
I think KR likes to filter people out in earlier episodes then layer on the more interesting parts of its worldbuilding in later episodes
And the movies ofc
The movies always go hard
Except the second movie in the Ex-Aid trilogy
then again I may just be easily entertained.
neon solar
i think my problem is that den-o was my first series so everything else has felt mid in comparison
coarse bough
True den-o fucks far too severely
I think W can compete with Den-O but that's also the western audience in me speaking
neon solar
nah i agree w is fucking awesome
coarse bough
Actually i think Gaim and Build also compete
neon solar
gaim i've heard is good but im just too lazy to actually watch kr anymore tbh
coarse bough
Real
I keep trying to watch it with my friends but it always ends up falling through
And I don't like watching by myself. I NEED to riff and people must hear my horrible jokes.
If I did a fumo KR watchparty I'd prolly just grab Zero-One

spoilers? ||he's like an alt future zeronos right? or the one who "disappeared"?...
Basically yeah to the first part, it just so crazy how this is longest time (that I can think of) between debut appearance and toy release
And it's barely in the show, though ti be fair alot of stuff in outsider just appears and vanish not long after
copper sky
The only thing I can think that sorta count would be the shadowmoon belt but he's a weird thing of being label as a rider or not
copper sky
We've gotten a new version of build original melee weapon
Before the novel that was announced years ago
It's so weird to choose this of all weapon, was this even popular back then?
Like in the show it felt like build just dropped this even before he received sparkling
Ninnincomic sword would make more sense then this
neon solar
i recall him using it a lot? mostly because i thought it looked really bad and every time i saw it i was like bleh
dawn bone
copper sky
i recall him using it a lot? mostly because i thought it looked really bad and e...
See anytime I can recall him using it is like when he needed to dual wield either a gun or sword
But most often he would use the other sub form weapon, I can't even remember if sento actually hold on to it without the suit
I will admit the faiz pointer able to detect the faiz next phone without having the memory inserted to push the button is really impressive
There's another clip where the guy mentioned how this phone lacks (?) A button on the side that usually needed to have the phone know if it's in the driver or hand. It'll just know when it's being detached through some method internally
sour wagon
copper sky
Imagine paying money just for the csm liner pass
copper sky
Have to double check but I believe they are actually part of the super best line
So dx that might have some improvement over the original
They're are not legend belt, which are belt that do the bare minimum of transform and finisher
Fourze one for example has the switches permanently placed on the belt and I think only rocket and drill are have working switches
copper sky
Takumi being part of the few rider characters to be a figure
Hana (den-o), kuroto, kotaro, nobuhiko, and ankh were what we had before

They're finding way to like have the most exclusive memories
Joker gaia memories with tokime? Magazine pre order exclusive
Skull fuuto pi version? U next preorder exclusive

So i guess they couldn't get good qaulity audio of the show to do the same thing they're doing with W
sour wagon
Kinda sad that they still couldn't get Takeru Satoh voice but that's very understandable
copper sky
Atleast the dengasher weapon is finally part of csm
What is toei planning with this proto gimmick
Like I still doubt they'll ever release a liquid base toy, but it does make you wonder what mechanism could be used in later belt.
Like the steam belt opening/closing mechanism was used for black sun , and the touch screen belt with light up strap were seen later for the faiz next belt.
sour wagon
I bet they will redesign it to fit Gavv
Yknow like Gavv is snack right? It could transformed to something something jelly stuff
copper sky
gavv 10 years later v cinema
sour wagon
copper sky
Its so freaky to see how big these voice line ver of the toys are when in the belt
Its not exactly massive but just bizarre to look at when used to the original size
Atleast with geats id core voice line ver, they had the benefit of only looking off from viewing its side where the core protrude alot
dawn bone
considering how much electronics in there
i’d say its impressive
thought it would be like build driver
where the driver would read the pins and play the sound out

uhhh I think you really need to watch it first instead of just watching from clips lol
Especially the back stage which really supported by many Sentai previous actor (everyone except Red is voiced by previous Sentai actor, I forgot the detail), and the sound (DX) is being helped by a lot of TOEI member too to make it like Sentai-ish, it definitely a good sentai homage
If we talk about story sure, the build is realllyyyyyyy slow and it goes roundabout to reach the plot, this comes from me who is already reading this manga since chapter 1
copper sky

Mostly meant in animation and direction. Felt like it was resorting to the manga for some scene composition 1:1 or scene that feel very stiff until they decided to make it overly smooth
I do appreciate some effort as the mech does look way different to the original design
From memory atleast
Ranger reject i saw the first episode of cause i was interested in the direction of it which was handle neatly. It just that it was still the same story I wasn't already a fan of
Didn't help that beside their helmet, the suit are really boring
All the sentai stuff felt like it was pushed by the publisher to ride off the success of the boys in term of twisting the perception of superhero
I'll just with the hikaruon ova
While the story is different, it's definitely just structure in the way metal heroes (or just any late showa-early heisej) were like
copper sky
They're finally making one after all these years
It never had a csm release iirc, only that very old belt back when it was just called complete selection
Back when they made them almost show qaulity but kept the toy qaulity audio

Still processing the fact that it took the skull portrait movie to have a ver.2 lost driver with T2 gaia memories
Sucks that they decided to split them into multiple releases to charge way more money in the end

Not counting his official vest which then you have to get everything

maybe they want to acclimate the suit actors better?
i remember kiva emporer being really
really fuckin heavy
lmao
but holy hell
||kamen rider dawn is just kiritani from yakuza 0 but 500x more insane||
neon solar
base kiva was the really heavy one
that's why emperor shows up so early & is used so much more often
i forget if it's an urban legend or not but supposedly the suit uses real chains so it's super off-balance
so it's not so much the weight itself but how it's distributed
made it harder to do stunts or something
