Ryuki-Decade: Dork Age?

[Black Fang]

You may say that, but I never saw a problem with the writing of Den-O(I thoroughly enjoyed the story)

The few times it remembered it actually had a story, it was enjoyable. (At least the premise was). The rest of the time it's Kobayashi and Co. trying to make the whole show about the Taros and their anime-famous VAs.

and Den-O still has the best actions scenes I've ever seen in a rider series, and when it comes to me and KR, action is top priority.

You haven't seen much of Rider, have you? Unless you consider completely one-sided action scenes where the heroes are gods-on-earth great. Most would consider that boring after a while.

I don't really see all that many similarities to W besides how it uses comedy to good effect

They both have the same writing style. (Two-parter arcs with bits of plotline sprinkled in as it goes along). The difference is W remembers to do the second part a lot more than Den-O ever did. Plus W's heroes are more likable. Ryotaro was only a good idea on paper. In practice, he was a joke and was more or less overshadowed by the Taros and their antics anyway. And as the movies prove, he and all the human characters are more or less useless in the end, because the Imajins can just (nonsenically) become Riders now.

The Imagins transformed by themselves in the final episodes of the tv show and in Final Countdown, but the Chou Den-O movies have seemingly cut that concept, without any explanation. Of course, they've also cut the Liner Form, so every time Den-O fights, there's an Imagin commanding.

The last time one of Imagins clearly transformed by themselves was Momotaros in All Riders, but that was just a quick participation anyway, not a proper Den-O movie.

Hey, this is my opinion, and I'm sticking to it. I saw the story as being character-driven, with the episodes giving the characters more and more development. It only got better once the plot involving Kai, older Sakurai, and the whole thing Airi's secret came into play. I liked the action for being exciting, variable, and fun, while never taking itself too seriously, not to mention Den-O and Zeronos really stood out as riders in the way they fought, as well as the awesome designs and gear, plus the occasional giant battle was really outstanding to me. I found the characters extremely likable, and Ryotaro always stood out to me for really trying to become stronger and always having his heart in the right place, as well being the one to bring unity to the cast, getting the Taros to set aside aside their differences and work together. Then again, it doesn't surprise me how you just disrespectfully question my opinion without remorse, because that's the kind of person you are. Just please, let me have my opinion

Different strokes for different folks I guess.

This sums it up best.

 

[KingRanger]

well, Double may be really good, but for me personally, it still doesn't beat Den-O. It comes close, but close is close

Wow...:sly:

^King, if we continue comparing Den-O to Double........his comments just get better *coughscoughsnotreallycoughscoughsjustworstcoughscoughs* :laugh:

 

[Fantasy Leader]

Hearing a lot of split things here. So it's kind of like this (I know I'll probably miss some stuff):


Ryuki: Either you love the intense highlander-ish premise. Or you hate the fact that it's not a traditional Kamen Rider, where all the characters are selfish, the ending made it pointless, and the story was inconsistent.

Faiz: Either you love the very fast moving and very complex stories, as well as the very likable cast of characters. Or you hate the really annoying characters who keep pulling unexpected 180 turns in their characters, the emo main character, the annoying teenage drama, the fact that the Rider powers could be used by multiple individuals, and the ending for not being very clear.

Blade: Either you love the great cast, good writing, well-paced story, great ending, good fight scenes, good drama, and good balance. Or you hate that it does nothing new to the franchise, copies elements from previous seasons, bad acting, and bad scripting.

Hibiki: Either you love the great cast, unique motifs, and unique storytelling. Or you hate that it's not a true Kamen Rider, and the story went no where.

Kabuto: Either you love the awesome plots and setting, and the awesome characters and main character. Or you hate the many plot holes and think the characters are jerks and unlikable.

Den-O: Either you love the well-timed comedy, funny characters like the Imagins, and the unique concepts and stories. Or you hate the annoying comedy, how it's not like a true Kamen Rider, hate the annoying characters, hate the wimpy main character, how the story falls apart half way through, how it keeps milking out unnecessary movies, and how it's more popular amongst certain fans than it deserves.

Kiva: Either you love the vampire and music concepts, and love the concept of two time periods. Or you hate the weak characters, the weak concepts, the lacking storyline, and the overuse of Emperor Form.

Decade: Either you love the fanservice. Or you hate... I'm not gonna list it.

Oh, be quiet. We all know how much you dislike Den-O, so you wouldn't be of help anyways

you know...something like that would be suited for a pm, that way IXA won't get offended by it. Otherwise it'll just continue the argument even more....

Den-O was too overrated because of popularity, which problem they not focus of main character but instead Taros will do the attention to see. Kamen Rider W is great but not marvelous as Kuuga or Agito however I love the plotline story with plot twists either except for not liking Extreme Form but I prefer Fang Joker was amazing. Hibiki is fine with me only however not infinite loops of The Man and Woman spam around. Ryuki's story is not confusing yet a bit hilarious. In Decade, speaking of many lovers or haters saying "Onor-" whatever that is, only I hate is Diend but the problem is lack of episodes and don't have kaijins in Decade. Blade is far my favorite series, about Kenzaki was a n00b and become a pro in Kamen Rider Blade the ending makes sense.
