HJU Radio #26 - The End of Kamen Rider OOO

[Aoi Kurenai]

So like Power Rangers (after Lost in Space, anyway), each season of Kamen Rider stands on its own and doesn't tie into the next or previous season? I'm wondering cause reading up on Kamen Rider W, I kinda want to avoid that one. Seems silly.

The only shows that tied into each other were the older ones, but those were also done in the way Power Rangers ties into older shows: you don't have to see older shows, but you appreciated the team ups more.

W is actually one of those shows the fandom just jumped on as a great show. There was a lot of hesitation towards it at first because it seemed really...different, even for Kamen Rider, but people ended up loving the show right from the first episode. Don't let initial images fool you, even a show that presented itself as serious business like Kabuto ended end having some really silly (and pretty out of place) material later on into its run.

Personally, I think W, Blade, and Agito are the great starter shows, they each have a bit of what makes all the other shows good watches.

(of course the older shows are pretty awesome as well and a lot of them are being actively subbed, the first series has somewhere in the neighborhood of 18 episodes subbed)

I'll give it a shot.

It's a good episode, but I think 24 and 25 are the best shows in the series and they do focus on Ishiguro's character pretty well. Those tend to be the two episodes that can really hook people on the show.

Not recommending Den-O as a starter is just plain silly. :laugh:

So where is the link to those artist toys Vengelus talked about?

You know usually I find these MEgasodes to be ludicrous in length, but since I spent most of yesterday standing around waiting for buses to come I was glad to have you guys for five hours.

The Glyos links are on the front page along with the rest of the show notes.
