Kamen Rider Plans for Spring 2010

^This.
I think it's more Bandai than Toei, though, and their addiction is really Momotaros. I can give you one clear reason though why it keeps coming: girls. Don't ask me why, but to give an example, half the theater on Saturday was the target audience--5 year old boys and their dads, the old and new generations of KR fans--but the other half was girls in their 20s in little groups, no sons/dads/etc., buying all the Momo (and even Decade) merch they could fig in a bag.

And on top of that, if you go to a big character goods store like Animate, the Ultraman section had a good range of mugs, shirts, etc. with a range of monsters and ultramen, but the KR section is JUST Imagin. And the main customers there are girls, too.

Well, it's good to see Toei knows how to really broaden its audience -___-

It makes money. People say this as if Toei has some specific love for Den-O. It's just a money making machine that the others were not. Simple. Hate on the Japanese consumer if you must.

There is merely making money and then there is making money by producing a true-quality product. The latter is the more respectable route.

Nice observation there man!:thumbs:





I can almost guarantee that for a FFR Double, Decade will pull Double in half and make two swords/guns/weapons etc... Which would be pretty f*ing sweet.

There are plenty of people who think Den-O is a fine product. Consider viewpoints other than your own when you make statements for a change.

 

[SABER60069]

Not to mention they probably couldn't care less whether you think they are respectable or not as long as they can make money.

 

[Skiks]

On it's own merit you can't say Sabara Den-O was a bad movie. Sure people love to hate on Den-O but when it comes to movies it does a pretty slick job. Of course I have to see Cho Den-O and Decade before I can say it's true.

 

[The_Next!!!]

The movies of Den-O weren't bad, the series was to me.

For the 40th anniversary, it's only right to continue the Showa Era or something.

I liked the 3rd Den-O Movie. :castlerock:

Also, yeah for the 40th Anniversary they should have a series that takes place after Black RX, meaning Rider 1-RX exist in the same world as the 40th Anniversary Rider.

Why don't you consider my viewpoint?

 

[Kenori]

Is Toei's life achievement Den-O? They just won't leave it alone, what about some Kabuto or Faiz sequels? why Den-O? They really enjoy milking this show.

Seriously, go watch a new goddamn show, this is just getting old...
