What is the best kamen rider series, and why it's agito?
Actually Anon, Drive is the best Heisei series of all time with Kabuto being a close second.
It's either Kuuga or Agito for me.

Thinking back kuuga might actually be better.
>that episode whereGodai gets wrecked by Daguva and he helplessly watches as Daguva sets people on fire
>that build up to the final confrontation
>"mitete kudasai, ore no henshin"
>that brawl in the snow
We're never gonna get a show like that again.
>>15063603Gaim is the best.
>>15069550
Gaim truly was the deconstruction of kamen rider.

What I liked about Kuuga is it felt like a mystery story more than a standard rider show from showa or heisei.
Faiz is literally art.

those novels based on the story were fucking insane, from what I remember.

COUNT ZERO
I'm trying to start with the 1971 series. is that a good starting point? It's really dated, but nice.
I really like W but that's because I like cheesy detective novels
>>15085560
If you don't mind 1970s tv budget special effects, it's a good show.

For me the best thing about Kuuga is the part where Godai loses his shit and starts pummeling that one Grongi to death. It's really frightening to see.
Also i like the fact that the police actually willing to cooperate. Nobody is an asshole in the show. A contrast of Agito where there is someone being an ass because of pride and shit. It just hampers the story.

What did he even do to make the guy flip out like that?
>>15092259
He targetted middle schoolers and his power is he fires quills that enter the head and in four days cause the victim to die of encephalitis (a swollen enflamed brain). He targetted 90 people and it was all a "game" to him because he enjoyed human suffering.
Then when some of his victims killed themselves he went looking for more people to go back to his set victim count. Kuuga found him and went berserk because let's face it, the guy is a sick fuck.
>>15063603
Anyone else felt afraid for the dog Gills find at the end of Agito? I just felt like it was going to somehow die horribly...;_;
>>15092256
Love this scene so much because this was the exact endgame of Daguva. He wanted all of humanity to be like this, not just his tribe, and Godai just wouldn't give in, but he's human too and prone to lapses of judgement.
>>15092440
It is, the creators confirmed it to be a female dog and said every woman in Gills' life dies. Sleep tight, pupper.
>>15063616
Drive finale was great
I got a satisfying fight between Mach and his dad
>>15092440
Anon I......
Just don't read the novel.
>>15093130
It's also just a really well-directed and written scene because it nails the aspect of "Kuuga's on our side, but his power scares even himself"
>>15096425
Exactly. Anyone else would be driven by anger and resentment all the way through, but only someone as pure as Godai could wield the power to become a physical god and still cry about having do use violence as the only way to solve the issue. The whole theme about the crying marks on Rider masks rings really true with Kuuga.
I love it that it's anti-needless violence, but not anti-conflict. The use of force can't always be avoided, but you don't have to go all out and become a monster yourself by fighting monsters.

>The use of force can't always be avoided, but you don't have to go all out and become a monster yourself by fighting monsters.
Well yeah, they drilled that into your head with Kaixa.
>>15094787
Don't read the novels in general. It's all so needlessly edgy.
>>15097615
>crying marks on Rider masks
Damn that detail completely slipped past me.
>>15106458
Dates back to Ishinomori's original vision of Kamen Rider: they are heroes fighting monsters through tears with the powers of monsters, not necessarily for justice, but for mankind.
>>15106458
>>15106559
I thought that only appeared on Robo Rider since he is a Prince of Sadness
I'm more of a Blade fan but then again I haven't finished most Kamen Rider shows yet.
I just want to see more of Shin. Or another proper power armour rider.
Power Rangers
>>15106859
It's amazing how shitty of a human being they made Kaixa just from the two goals of "destroy the orphnochs" and "protect mari"
It really is a sham that Ishinomori died
All the new Rider shows has been nothing but glorified toy commercials
He's probably crying in his grave even as we speak
>>15107884
*shame
darn keyboard
>>15107884
Gaim was pretty true to his message in spite of that.
Okay anon, say after me now
Blade is the best show in the universe, and Tachibana is very handsome
You're watching children's toy commercials.
>>15112521
No, you don't understand.
Is Ghost any good so far?
>>15107884
The writers do what they can, but there's probably certain restrictions they have to work under. You can only do so much.
>>15112521
Yes, and? You act like I did any different when I was a kid. The only difference is that the toy commercial I watched back then had far better acting in it (though infinitely dumber writing).

Ghost is so shit it's currently getting blown the fuck out by Kamen Rider: Garo Edition which is just a web series
>>15124704
dat chipmunk ost though
>>15116521
see >>15124704
It's shit, and pretty shit; just not Wizard shit, but I dropped it and never looked back.
>>15125099
Yeah, the OST is kind of the only aspect about Amazons that loses to Ghost.
>>15124704
I think that image perfectly captures why Omega's design might throw people off.
He really looks like some new neo-heisei rider if he wasn't supposed to be AAAAAAAAMAAAAAZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON.
