Yeah, Hibiki songs are pretty good. I mean, Shounen yo is a pretty good song, IMO.

I can't vouch for the rest because I didn't finish the series.

I only heard the first OP. Perhaps I'll look into the rest tomorrow .

You really should be aware by now that your preferences are not generally - or even remotely - the preferences of everyone else. No one's are.

uh who? and why?

Also guys this video is made of win minions FTW

Tsukasa is Decade. Captain Marvelous is the leader of Gokaiger.

Seriously, I really just can't stand to even look at him anymore.

on a side note I found out the guitarist whos playing IN samurai strong style is Marty Friedman Who is a former guitarist of megadeth which means Kamen rider took a level in Bad @$$ery theres even a Guitar version no vocals which is AWESOME and Haze dude we get you hate decade chill k?

Seconded. Marvelous is beyond manly than Tsukasa's girly-carp face. Actually, most of Sentai's leaders are pretty manly-looking compared to the main characters for Kamen Rider...

Really? huh never notice that also finished Den-O I cried almost also Ok OK Decade is So bad you wish death on the rider because the series was THAT bad correct also can we have "evidence" to support the whole girly face rider main character thing?

Most Heisei riders use effeminate-looking males and supporting male cast, because a portion of the Kamen Rider demographic is actually aimed at middle-aged housewives.

This is 100% true.

So lemme get this straight Middle aged to old cat ladies watch kamen rider? is that good or creepy? and source?

It's not really something that has a source I can locate easily, just kind of common knowledge about it. Japan is not really comparable to western television markets at all.

Heisei is really dramatic, and full of a lot of deep plot shenanigans - in many cases it gets far too involved or morbid or just complex for your average kid to grasp fully. The drama nonsense that goes on is for the older intended audience.

The use of the term cat ladies there was really... unnecessary and not even related. Housewives are not even close to stereotypical cat ladies, and even if they were... did you feel it necessary to say it that way?

I didnt mean to offend it was a spur of the moment thing. Anyway you got a point in Den-o there was drama and I highly doubt anyone under 12 would understand the complex plot... I can see what your getting at and I do see a trend Eiji,Ryoutaro,Gentaro All look slightly...um feminine well scratch Gen cause he looks more like the grease punk that or the Foz from happy days...

It's probably why the storylines sometimes suffer as of late; it's now basically "Days of Our Lives", but with guys in rubber suits beating each other's faces in.

Actually, I'd probably pay good money to watch that.

He's talking about "cougars." It's supposed to be a joke, but y'know. Jokes are funny.

Also, it's been like that since Agito and Ryuki, though most prominent in Ryuki. Because everyone was a male except for Femme. They even had a topless scene with Shinji and Ren. (I squealed. I'm guilty.)

I am 100% certain he is not talking about cougars.

And, yes, it is fairly obvious that this is a Heisei trend. Kuuga had it, too, but to a lesser extent. Old Kamen Rider would probably not have been as popular in the modern market, so they made it 15 minutes of 90210 and 4 minutes of suit action.

I am fine with the change, personally; if it were too much constant fighting it would be boring.

Cmon Whats wrong with a good plot I mean it helps balance it all out in my opinion if it was all action based fighting it WOULD get old but they even it out with a down to earth feel ya know?

I would not call most Heisei rider plots anything resembling "good", but I enjoy them nonetheless.

What about Den-O it had a good plot what with the whole time thing it was really emotional In my book Also Fourze is seeing signs of a good plot

people really do not act how kaixa acted in 555.

faiz was a pretty sweet design. semi-armored and DAT HELMET.

yes, please! i would love to see how they would design Stronger's armor and helmet in a "The First" kind of style.

Den-O had a good plot?
lol no.

Den-O was emotional?
Maybe if I was ever invested in the characters.
Which I wasn't.
Because all the characters felt flat to me.

Oh you name a show with a time traveling train a girl from a possible future and beings from a possible future who go inside people to take a psyichal form grant wishes and travel into the past. IMO the show was good the characters were great to me especially deneb he rocks

That's not a great plot, though? Besides, a unique plot isn't always good anyway, so I don't see why you brought that up.

Name one instance of meaningful character development in Den-O.
Name one part of the plot that wasn't convoluted.
Heck, just name one good reason for Kai's plot.

I'm not saying Den-O was unenjoyable. It was fun. But saying that it had a great plot is kind of silly.

Well there was when ryoutaro learned he cant rely on the Taros forever this is when he got Liner Form then there was when urataros showed he really was a nice guy all along

The plot wasn't convoluted I thought it was clever I see it like this the first movie connects to the series see that and you get some in depth on not just Ryoutaro but a lot of the other characters my only complaint is the ending it was bittersweet other than that it was fun
