Kamen Rider W (Double) - Talk Up!

[Aoiblue]

Theory: I'm calling it right now. Philip is the only son in the Sonosaki(?) family. That's why he has the Gaia memories.

Ooh, I can see that happening. Niice.

What is the first words that Philip says?

TV-N translated it as "Akuma Dino Three Yuuki" in the preview but I think he said something else. It sounded more like "Do you have the courage to become a devil?" but I don't know 100% Japanese so I'm not sure.

That is the most amusing post ever I've read. Dude, it's the FIRST episode. Watch episode 2 to 10, then come back and tell us what do you think.

Three episodes should suffice. I certainly don't share his exact sentiments but Double's going to have a hard time convincing me to like it when it's already off to such a shaky start in my eyes.

After a little more pondering:

The good:
- The setting is pretty neat.
- The private eye theme is promising.
- Double's design.
- LunaJoker's stretch attacks are hilariously awesome.
- Catchy OP.

The Bad:
- Over-reliance on CGI.
- That belt is too complicated, clunky, and toyetic.
- Narumi's (?) shoe gimmick. These gimmicks they're giving the female characters are obnoxious.
- UNNECESSARY GIANT CGI MEGAVEHICLE.
- The promise of more giant monsters in a series that would function perfectly well without them.

The Whatever:
- Our leads talk like men and act like men but they could really stand to look more like men. I know it's the trend in Japan so I'm not going to hate the series based on this alone but still...
- I'm really not sold on the two people as one rider deal.
- I still say Phillip is a princess from the moon.

I like how Double has his own catchpharse and pose.
Also he kinda reminds me of Kick Hopper, cause all I see is him kicking the crap out of the Magma Dopant :laugh:

「悪魔と相乗りする勇気あるか？！」

"Do you have the courage to ride together with the devil?" (rough translation)

The only thing I don't like is the rider kick although it's unique, I still prefer a bad ass dragon rider kick or kick hopper's rider kick.

I love the henshin sequence!!! and the stretchy attacks FTW!!

Somehow I have a feeling that Miku the cat is gonna be the Smilodon Dopant. :castlerock::castlerock:

Ah thanks. I hope that they notice that and fix it.

I hope there will be an alphabet of cool W letter graphics!

Overall great first episode. I'm liking the atomosphere of show, especially how they gave us the mysterious past in the first scene. My only gripe with Double as a rider, is his kick. I really hope they don't do the splitting in half thing for every finisher. I definitely would rather have this as his kick
