Kamen Rider OOO - Talk Up!

really i actually liked it. Ozu so far has been a little bland, it feels like they showed someone last years kamen rider series then all the others and then they just reused ideas from those and a few random animes and game up with this. Im not saying its bad but its not good either and after w which was great-so great that i can't think of anyway it could have been better and had everything a hard boiled crime novel has and yet had great kamen rider style action, the only thing i wish it had more of was more episodes but i don't want something i like to get diluted so i think its just ozu is going to have to pull out solid gold plated story and charaters if its going to measure up to w

also the things that are reused are the idea of collecting some thing from defeated monster-ie blade
the canroids -hibiki
partial body changes -double (w)
using humans to destroy things -den o
and ancient locked box and and a questionable organization that is prepared for it -blade-again

i just feel it has nothing of its own

I too was a bit dissapointed by the opening because the part they previewed is really my favorite part of the song and I wish there was more of it... though now that I've had time to listen to it over and over I really love it for what it is.

Its a really fun song that promises upbeat excitement.

I wonder if they'll release a toy that actually turns from vending machine to motorcycle.

Considering this is Kobayashi (aka Den-O's head writer) writing this series, can you really be surprised that OOOs is basically re-using some concepts from past Heisei Riders? I'm not, I expected this from someone who wrote a couple of those past Heisei Rider series..........at least with Sanjo you got a fresh writer that gave us fresh ideas since he never really did anything in the Kamen Rider franchise outside of Zo (or J or Shin, I forgot which movie he wrote).

This is why Toei should have went out and found another "new writer" to write the new Rider series.........not one of the "re-used hired hands" of the past.

Hmmm, fresh ideas or not I'm not as skeptical as I used to be. I had my reservations of Kobayashi returning, you know since she is one of the "old" writers and not a freshman like Sanjo, but through the debut episode she shows promise, for me anyway.

Hope she continues the way she does.

I just used that as an example for the people complaining about Kobayashi "re-using" ideas in the first episode........it was to be expected, C'MON.

But I'm not gonna kill Kobayashi on this one yet, considering it shows potential. But the first episode just had the most WTF moments in a first episode of a Kamen Rider series.
