Ok, I watched episode 2. It was pretty good. I have a feeling it is gonna be slow for a while, I mean, it is starting to slow. Somehow, I loved the battle. Need more battle. Just saying... >_>

Looking forward to see episode 3 next week.

By the way, what do you guys thing about the eighttiesness of the 1986 scenes?
They apparently do take care of details like clothes and stuff but I think they could do a bit better...

I think they're pretty weak, actually. If not for the giant graphic "flipping" the years, it could still pass off as present day; just digging out weird clothes (and awful wigs) isn't enough, because one could easily assume it's simply Japan's old wacky fashion trends. :laugh:

I wouldn't want it to become "The Wedding Singer," which tried too hard, but Kiva can do better. Too costly, but I think it would at least be interesting to film the '80s scenes on film. Make it feel like an episode of Kamen Rider Black, you know?

Are you serious?

Well about the rider kick, yes. I like the more realistic ones.
But the bat wings are actually kinda amusing

 

[martin angelo]

That's right Zombie. The wings are amusing.

Episode 2 completely kicked my ass. Last year at this point with Den-O I still had a blank stare on my face (mind you, Den-O became awesome later). But this what we have here is fucking sick.

The Decade switching is awesome. The characters so far are great and the comedy level which is about 1 minute per episode (which is fine for me) is perfect and Kuuga-Kabuto style.

The dark violin music also gives the show a fun dark feel.

The 2 women in this series are amazing. On the same level as Zaido's Lyka.

Kivat is great, I love when this dude flies around while Wataru is riding his bike. Also, good to have a Fatboy over a Dirty bike.

Another thing, when Kiva does his Darkness Moon Break Rider Kick and the logo appears then CastleDran appears... it's just like BATMAN with the Bat signal. I caught it in ep 1 but wasnt sure if that was a permanent thing. Awesomeness.

The fight kicked ass aswell.

So CastleDran is more than just a Cloverfield Monster Building. I can't wait to see this ep subbed and see more!.

I think so too. Something is really 80s -like the girl, with vest, tight jeans and tennis shoes, or the giant mobile in the 1st ep- but much more could be done.
Shougo, the idea of shootin on film would be great -but they'll never do, it would cost them a part of the money from that toys :-(

Zombie, there's a slight difference between voicing your opinion and outright complaining. Guess where your message falls.
