Kamen Rider W (Double) - Talk Up!

Didn't it happen to most riders, at about 1/4 into the series they cut back on sounds and effects?

I remember Emperor Form did the showoff henshin for about 10-15 episodes after debut, then it just looked like normal Kiva henshin except gold instead of silver.

And Blade King Form also cut down on the effects.

So might be because of that... Then again, why spend half a minute per episode with something the viewers have seen for the past 5 months.

Wow I didn't know that at all. What about Zack the black ranger?

I mean I knew why they pick those 2 for those obvious reasons, but I didn't know there was a dispute over it.

it gets repetitive once in a while.. not to mention 10-15 seconds of precious reel time they could save.

Really? I thought everyone who watched PR back in the day had heard about that stuff... The actors didn't get sacked or anything, but when it came time to replace the Black and Yellow Rangers, you'll notice they went with an Asian guy and an African-American girl. :laugh:

I didn't notice at the time, of course, being all of 10 years old, but I read about it later.

I'm not complaining though, I loved both Zack and Adam. Especially Adam. :thumbs:

Yeah, like I said, they weren't fired because of the race issue. They left for other reasons, then were replaced by actors who didn't have the same possibilities for getting people overly-excited about it. I think Rocky is still the only Latino Red Ranger, isn't he?
