Kamen Rider W (Double) - Talk Up!

[Darkster]

The openings change a lot. It's nice to look at them while listening to WBX.

I wouldn't be opposed to having a Rider series with two different OP songs, again. Can't remember the last time that happened... I know Blade did, but unless you count having all the Imagins singing the OP for Den-O, I don't think it's happened since. :disappoin

Having the images change is good and all, but having a new song would be awesome. :thumbs:

Hibiki...

I'm of mixed minds on this. I like it in theory, but typically (at least in anime), 2nd OPs are utterly inferior to the originals. Unless a show has a definite change in tone to warrant it in the second half, I don't think it's necessary.

Personally I like the approach of keeping the OP and changing the ED. But most toku series nowadays don't have EDs, so...

I do like what Daimajin Kanon did, using the second verse of the song for the second half. (I feel like I've seen that done before too, but I can't think of where.)

Hibiki...

Technically Den-O had a different song even if it wasn't different lyrics.

 

[Blade Dancer]

Hibiki...

I remember it changed EDs, did it change OPs, too? It's been a while since I last watched it.

 

[garfield15]

It did, but I really didn't like Hibiki's second OP.

 

[dchoc]

Yup, the second OP was not really good. I didn't really like the song as well.

[The 2nd Evil]

Man, has there ever been a Kamen Rider series that just got completely screwed by behind the schenes crap as much as Hibiki did?

I guess you could argue Decade with how the original head writer up and quit after episode 12 according to Wikipedia (I know, I know)

I've heard Blade had some severe production issues, up to and including the director having a nervous breakdown because he hated the cast so much.
