Kamen Rider OOO - Talk Up!

[wins2]

I also think that saying something is bad makes it more of a general statement instead of a personal one like saying I disliked it. It seems to make you feel like you shouldn't be watching it even though you did like it.

 

[garfield15]

Ah yes, that's another thing and I think I'm guilty of it too. When someone says "It was crap" or "why would anyone watch this ****" without reasons why they feel that way, it feels like it was made out to be fact when it's opinion.

This. Ankh to me is a more interesting character than Eiji (so far). Also, he's cuter, and his voice is god HOT! <3

Cuter?! That bleach job is even worse than Go-on Gold's. At least Eiji has something resembling a normal hairstyle

 

[Sage Shinigami]

I think a lot of people take it as a personal insult if you don't like what they like, and act accordingly. Unfortunately.

Yeah, and that's a really weird approach. I mean, don't get me wrong: If someone says they hated Blade, thought W was "just okay", and then praises Faiz, I'm not going to insult them or anything, but when they start to recommend something it does tend to kinda filtered out. We're clearly not interesting in the same thing, after all.


As far as OOO's...notes thus far:

- I like Eiji. He's different from Shotarou and more along the lines of Kenzaki or Godai. He's a very good hero, and he's not stupid--he worked out that Ankh needed him, and refused to allow Ankh to ignore humans in danger.

- The main villain bites. He's the evil Owner, and I'm not impressed. Still, the hints about what OOOs actually is were interesting. Past infinity...OOOs. Silly, but okay.

- They're really working the "Greeed" angle for the sake of selling toys. OOO's is a series of excess, from the main villain to the Yummys to the way Ankh wanted the monster to grow larger so he could gain more XP from it, to the freaking candroids which apparently have to come out by the dozens.

- Count the medals? That's going to become ridiculous later, unless there's a cap to the number of medals Eiji can have.

The fight scene kinda sucked, but I expect that from a giant fight in Rider this early on. I'll be watching OOOs 3, clearly.

 

[garfield15]

Hey, I just realized, "Count the medals" in the OP makes more sense now!

I don't think Kougami works as a "villain" per se, I have to see where that's going but as far as being a Large Ham and relatively insane, I think he's perfect at it.

 

[zenieth]

It's going right to foundation X, if toei knows what's good for them.

 

[garfield15]

Yeah, I throughly believe Foundation X is actually the ones behind Kougami and will reveal themselves like in the 30s or so.

Big Willie style :thumbs:

It just seemed fitting. :laugh:

But seriously, if you guys hate this show so much why do you bother with this thread? When I gave up on Double I gave up on the thread too, and it was probably better for everyone. If you don't like something, you don't like it. You don't have to justify it to everyone and their brother, your opinion is what it is.

I think most of us posting in the thread who didn't like the show were still posting because after episode 1 we were willing to give it another go and for some of us ep 2 was a clear enough indication of what the show was going to be like to decide to drop it and we were simply posting our opinion of ep. 2 (which is what the forum is for) and the current conversation has come out of that.

You could play the "why are you bothering with the thread" card if after having posted and discussed our opinion of ep. 2 it was ep. 5 or 10 and we were still chiming in with how much we hated it. I for one don't plan on doing that.

Stronger was originally meant to be 52 episodes, so it might have been canceled, I do know that flagging ratings basically meant that a lot of TV stations at the time decided to no longer air Kamen Rider and Toei asked Ishinomori to create a new series to take its place. (Goranger)

Stronger and Goranger were on the air at the same time, actually -- I think they even premiered the same day, and aired opposite one another on different networks.

I finally get why it's OOO, infinity plus 1. The ultimate one upism. Next we'll see Aizen in Bleach turn into OOO.
