Heinken111 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 So Ive been starting a series called Kamen Rider Drive. Ive found it to be enjoyable, then I saw this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=JIhoaFtjK1A Kamen Rider Drive with a Sentai Ninja.. Police vs Ninjas. I liked it plus its made me hopeful for the new Kamen Rider movie. Oh yes, Dr. D. was an actual character from the first Kamen Rider series in 1971.

mitchermitcher Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 ALL YOU NEED IS DRIVE sadly no, i haven't been following this. ever since i finished gaim nothing kinda lives up to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinken111 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Gaim was that good? (Not being insulting, just wondering, my only exposure is the Kikaider crossover and that was because I like Kikaider.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchermitcher Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 One of the best KRs I've seen. My personal preference goes to OOO and W, but Gaim is just that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 ALL YOU NEED IS DRIVE sadly no, i haven't been following this. ever since i finished gaim nothing kinda lives up to it. Yea, VERY few things can live up to Gaim. When Drive started I CERTAINLY had "this is good, but its no Gaim" feeling. After a few episodes though, I settled in and I've really enjoyed it. Me and TAG watch it together and we both agree it good. His problem with it atm is that the lead villains don't do anything, which is certainly fair. That and all the damn cars, I'm less bothered by the villains but good god, so many cars. Over all I still do find the villain group really interesting, I really like the primary cast, and think it has some interesting themes. Gaim was that good?(Not being insulting, just wondering, my only exposure is the Kikaider crossover and that was because I like Kikaider.)Gaim is god tier. Gen Urobuchi was the person writing it, and the dude writes gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchermitcher Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Yeah, even for Urobuchi, Gaim was exceptional. His very best, even. Dude learnt to write both happy and depressing, and that really helped Gaim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Yeah, Gaim's pretty much my reason too why I haven't followed Drive. I'm just waiting for my Gaim aftereffect to fade a bit before catching up to Drive since I'm worried that I'd compare it unfairly to Gaim too much. Though, from what I hear, Drive's pretty nice so I think I'll check out on it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, from what I hear, Drive's pretty nice so I think I'll check out on it soon.As I said, I had the problem too when it started. It should fade a little once you settle in and the story gets going. I said a couple problems, but its really enjoyable so its worth a watch. I might get TAG to show up here since he loves talking Toku and he can give more thoughts.Speaking of "last series affect my feeling" issues. I had the same with Ninninger when that started. I REALLY like ToQger and couldn't really get into Nin. However, after the first few episodes passed and that feeling wasn't there as much, I still feel like its not that strong. It has potential (I liked the Ninninger half of the crossover), but still not feeling it.On that note, I wonder if we should make a Ninninger/Super Sentai/Toku Thread. Seems like we have a decent number of fans of the material and I'd enjoy being able to talk about it with others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 A Toku General thread would be appreciated, definitely. Also, how many episodes do Drive have atm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 A Toku General thread would be appreciated, definitely. Also, how many episodes do Drive have atm?I know its mid 20s. Want to say like 23, but I could be off by a couple.Fake edit: Its 25. So about half way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Wolf Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Haven't watched Drive yet but probably going to watch it sometime after I rewatch Gaim and finish Kabuto. From what I have seen though it seems decent enough though, to top it off Drive really looks like Accel from W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinken111 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Man I didnt know there was a Kamen Rider Presence here, or Sentai presence. Well Im going to check Gaim soon then and then cry over Ultraman Ginga (again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAG Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Just say "tokusatsu" three times, and I magically appear. Gaim is awesome, Drive is pretty good (though I think the villains are a decently significant problem, mostly Heart), and Ninninger I personally find disappointing so far.

Heinken111 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I just hope we'll se Mr. Titan as a real villain soon, he is the best enemy and with Shadow could make for some laughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAG Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I just hope we'll se Mr. Titan as a real villain soon, he is the best enemy and with Shadow could make for some laughs. How familiar are you with older Kamen Rider series? I've been mildly interested in dabbling in something like Kamen Rider Black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Wolf Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Before I watch Drive is there a Micchi like character, 'cause if there is that will be another character I really want to kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinken111 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 To answer your question TAG, quite familiar actually, familiar enough to attempt a Showa Kamen Rider Archetype, I realized my attempts made them too OP. I would suggest the original Kamen Rider to start, its campy and short but quite enjoyable. and this is Titans human form http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130916024844/kamenrider/images/1/10/Mr._Titan_Human_Form.jpg then his Kaiju form http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/643/407/ddc.gif He's my favorite villain, ever, seriously dont get his suit dirty or you'll regret life, and he's hammy.

Flame Dragon Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Before I watch Drive is there a Micchi like character, 'cause if there is that will be another character I really want to kill.No. Micchi was a special character in regards to how you come to hate him.Anyway, watched the new episode of Drive. Really good stuff. More interesting ideas being brought up as well as some interesting changes to how things are going to play out starting now. I will say I don't like the ending "next time" clips since they can have huge spoilers, like the one for this episodes and the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be down with watching the original Kamen Rider (and Goranger, for that matter) sometime. Would be neat to see where it all began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAG Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvaTZ5-baxk&feature=player_detailpage wish granted for Goranger I'd kinda like to be able to have the whole series (or at least almost all of it) under my belt before I start watching, personally.

Flame Dragon Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 all 84 episodes, are ya nuts?!?! Ultraman I can see happening, and it has but Toei shows are less popular sub wise for some reason.TAG has been going through tons of back logs of Toku. He wants to collect them all.Anyway, I have to say in the last month the series has REALLY picked up. The introduction of 001 has been really enjoyable.
