To add, Buffa being the villain/antagonist was the worst part of Geats for me! It dragged for too long and overstayed its welcome

It starts to drag from the Edo period match episode to me, it picks up fine after that.

His power up make sense tho, he wished for a power to beat all riders, and that's exactly what he got, JUST riders, everything else is fair game, although he is still strong enough to beat jyamatos at that point.

I'm wondering who made the old belt sound. Same with Super Sentai henshins.

Maybe with the synths of the era.

I like Geats' as a modern one:

The Synths used in Geats are definitively like a night and day compared to Revice
The more time passes, the more I realize watching Geats first was the best way to get introduced and get into Kamen Rider

You can blame Apple for standardising the simplified black slab that Smartphones are nowadays and the fall of Nokia (even with the weirdest designs like the Taco N-Gage). Please check "When phones were fun" on Youtube.

Z-flips are a nice clamshell but still expensive as hell.

Now matter how many years passes, N-Gage's design will always linger as weird gaming phone hybrid! And it's still iconic

We have lost so much since the Homogenization of devices! No more colour, not more translucence material

His New Ultimate form Jyamato Awaking, Ploison Rage, is pretty darn awesome too I may add! With that huge claw
Don't get me wrong, I like Buffa, he is one of my favorites with his instant Beef against Geats

And so I finished 555/Faiz
Faiz does very interesting narrative choices
There is almost NO filler and every main character interacts with each other (with some Love triangles)

The Cover for Paradise Lost goes hard!​

I saw it before starting the series and I thought Faiz was going to be about Fallen Angels!

Spoiler: ACTUAL SPOILERS! Some Thoughts

• Hey wanna join the Lucky Clover?
• Those Kamen Rider movies with alternative universes timelines are... insane! It feels so weird after finishing the series seeing all those alterations! Blood, Gore and Sex caught me off guard
  • Paradise Regained had a weird vibe I can't explain! It felted like a Fanfiction!
  • Paradise Lost was more enjoyable
• Yet, none of the movies or specials took advantage of the Cliffhanger of the end of the series with the Orphnoch king being held back alive by the bar lady!
• I really liked Kiba, and I was really sad seeing him questioning his heroic ideals and losing faith in both the end of the series and Paradise Lost (the later being manipulated)
• God I was hoping Kiba would permanently use the Delta Belt!
  • He looks great in the Orga one! (GREEK LETTER OMEGA Ω MENTIONED) Can't go wrong with Black-Gold-Red-White
• Didn't Yuka Suffered enough from her abusive family, did she really had to have dramatically twice?
  
• Kept thinking if the Smart Lady was Orphnoch herself
• Kusaka Masato is still a Bastard!
  • Shout outs to the redditor who hated him so much, he made his neck crack into his phone's message sound!
  • Kudos to his actor for browsing forums as the series was airing to see hate comments for his character, to make sure he makes a good job
    
    

Next is going to be Blade... Which I have heard MIXED feelings because it has a lot of abandoned arcs and stories that go nowhere

OH NO

Mirai Sentai Timeranger got shafted hard because I needed to finish Kuuga, I left it on episode 25

Today's episode of Kamen Rider Gavv was

I love these skies:

 

[Leo-Dash]

I'm still working my way throught BLADE, first 5 Episodes were a Doozy but I'm enjoying parts of it!
The show is trying to create plot twists on the 5 first episodes without establishing the plot first

also... We are STRUGGLING to continue watching Revice with my friend
I finished 4 different KR shows of my own and we are STILL on episode 23...

---

The fact that I still thinking of Geats, Kuuga, Agito, Ryuki and Faiz after finishing them, really show they all had strong impression on me!

Today I started Kuuga and a little Mirai Sentai Timerangers

And Recently I finally finished Mirai Sentai Timerangers!
People weren't lying, this series is REALLY GOOD with its character development and drama!

Suprised to learn the actor who played TIMEFIRE, Naoto Takizawa, also played Neon's Dad in Geats!

He even plays tribute to his role as Timefire by doing similar posing during his Fantasy transformation

THIS IS SO COOL! And Geats continues being my major Tokusatsu Pipeline connector somehow

ive been watching kuuga. i really like how the police upgrade their equipment as the show goes on. ALSO ichijo is just so goated...
im at episode 15 and the scene where the teacher says "become a man worthy of a thumbs up" was peak fiction definitely top 5 moments ever in anything.

i watched half of v1 too(but i got burned out) and some episodes of OOO but didnt really get into it i didnt like the fights at all.

Kuuga is a police drama disguised as a toku hehe.

I'm slowly but steadily watching Ryuki, it's not like Agito yet I still like the investigative journalism aspect of the main character with the cases.

Also I'm a sucker for the pseudo-Metal Hero type of Rider:

Speaking of Metal Hero, the V-1 System from Agito is 100% reusing assets from it

Too bad it lasted only 1 episode

I'm legit sad that we barely saw it, it could've been an antagonist for a small arc (like Another Agito).

Blame that on G3-X lol, but jokes aside, I kinda wanted to see it against G3 in later episodes instead of Houjou protecting the unknowns.

Anyways, I finished Agito. I might start Faiz or Kabuto, or any other recommendations?

I've gone in order, but since you've probably already watched Ryuki, Kabuto could be good after Agito's slower pace. I liked Faiz though.

Faiz is the last serious Rider series for me, Kabuto is more light hearted, both are good, pick one that interest you the most.

The Tokusatsu archive in Archive.org got nuked again

I'm on episode 35 of BLADE, you can't do this to me now (I have back ups)

Wait, there was an archive dot org toku part?

I used another site to watch old tokus.

But did they host currently airing series? I think Toei are hunting those.

A quite a collection of past entries of Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, Ultraman e.t.c but not recent Now-airing entries!

I liked using it because it had all episodes + movies + extras in the playlist, even in the correct continuation order!

IT WAS THE ONLY PLACE I COULD FIND THE Rider Time: Kamen Rider Ryuki episodes specials too

I even had a bookmarked saved for the Garo: Gold Storm Sho and not it's gone, god damn it

This happened last year too! Let's see if the Library is getting rebuild again!

EDIT; /R/Tokusatsu posted about this nuke
