Kamen Rider OOO - Talk Up!

[Lynxara]

Plus, I still don't think it's fair to drop a year-long show before it has time to develop especially two episodes in. I mean, you could make a case for "I wasted two months on this and hated it" of eight episodes or, hell, even five episodes could be enough to suffice. But two? That's just so unbelievably low that it just seems unfair to anyone.

Most shows don't change too much in terms of style and production quality from their beginning. So someone who has given OOO a fair shake and still just doesn't like it is unlikely to feel any differently until the show hits major production milestones, like arcs ending or more Riders showing up. That won't be for months. Yeah, sometimes a show gets Blade'd, but that's a very unusual occurrence.

The possibility of the show changing in future arcs is why I said I might revisit OOO in the future, but right now I have no desire to watch more episodes on a weekly basis. I feel like I could be doing something more interesting with my time instead.... and, as a wo/m/an, I'll know the instant something cool goes down in the show anyway.

As a consumer, I just don't feel obligated to be "fair" to any particular franchise. There are literally hundreds of other products competing for my time and attention, many of which will be enormously interesting from the very first episode or first 20 minutes.

A week-to-week viewing commitment is a lot of time (for me) and I basically won't stick with a show that's not at least as good as, say, Goseiger. Really, nothing should ever be worse than Goseiger? Yet here I am, dropping OOOs but deciding that I like Goseiger's action enough that I want to see how much crazier it gets before the end.

Anyway, I do hope people who keep watching the show have fun or at least find it interesting. I had checked the thread to see if the tenor of the responses was any more positive and I was just wired wrong to appreciate OOO. Clearly some people do like it and that's good, but I'm surprised at how broad the negative reactions are. I expected mattcomics but a lot of the rest of it is a genuine surprise.

Something has me thinking.

The first monster said it would be dangerous for Eiji to use the OOO Driver(?), and the OOO Driver(?) was used to seal the Greed away. The OOO Driver(?) also uses core medals (three I might add) to power it. Is it possible that the OOO Driver(?) was what was used to create the Greed in the first place?

I really hope that becomes a plotpoint later, that the Driver was originally used by the Greed, they became so greedy over it that when they used it it changed them, but we find out that because Eiji doesnt really WANT anything and just lives day to day he doesnt have any greed in him and is able to use it safely.

Maybe thats why Ankh is giving him only one medal or 2 medals of a type at a time. What if 3 at the same time would turn him into a greed? Just an idea for a plot element that might not go anywhere.

I think Ankh doesn't want to invest all of the money coins medals on Eiji. He does not want to lose them all. Maybe I missed it, but I don't think it says the OOO belt was used to seal them. It was supposed to be sealed like the Greeed I know, but sealing the Greeed looks like something that is to be revealed later. The dangers and the reason why Eiji is chosen to use the belt will probably be explained later.

You... did what? :O_O: Shame on you. It's not a problem that people post their strong opinions, but it's the repetition that's kind of tiring.

Shame? I didn't like it. There are plenty of people who don't like stuff. Just because all of you are drooling over it doesn't mean I have to like it too. I just don't see why people are continuing with something they obviously find unpleasant when they have a choice about it.

Yeah but it got.....so good....

I was wondering by Ankh didn't just use the cops body to turn into OOO?

 

[GWolf]

Cool game. Can I play?

I love the useless text on the image. It sends a message.

Argh, my precious eyes!

 

[nerefir]

I watched it because I'm a completist bitch, but you didn't see me whining every week about how it wasn't Decade or Den-O or whatever. When I got tired of its bullshit I popped in a DVD and watched something I liked. This isn't a thread to discuss whether or not I liked Double though.

I imagine this is probably due to how the driver works. It may be that Greeed can't use it, or he isn't manifested enough to use it, or some such.

Oh I thought you only saw a few episodes. If you saw the whole thing I can't argue with that.

Still surprising....

This. A thousand times this.

Just because something has hit the good mark in popular consensus doesn't mean that everyone is going to care for it. While I personally love Double, I'm not getting into a nerd rage because someone who has tried to watch it and found they disliked it.

Hell, I'm throw this out to really mess with everyone:

I don't like BLACK. I can't get past Episode 3. The way the production goes about presenting the show just turns me off. A person doesn't need to have a little fanbase decided checklist of favorites shows to be a member of the fandom.

Saw the Episode in HD today and when you look at the Blade you can see that OOO indeed uses the O-Scanner.

Yeah... I had to re-watch it... It was just fast...

I have a bad feeling Shintaro would become the secondary Rider.

There was something on the rumour thread that the secondary Rider would be a new character and Shintaro supplies his weapons. We shall see ...

I very much doubt we will have only one Rider. With Double everyone thought there was only going to be one because the main Rider had so many different forms, but we probably will not go back to a single-Rider show any time soon
