A Kamen Rider annecdote

back when i was a newbie to Kamen Rider, and the only series that i finished where OOO and Ex-Aid, i thought Kamen Rider Build when he appeared in the last episode of Ex-Aid, was a Model-kit themed Rider season, like the motif was gunplas, because i thought that the tube things that come out of the Build Driver where like plastic runners with parts attached, and that Sento transformed basically by building the suit itself, and that's why it was called Kamen Rider BUILD... yeah

a friend got me into kamen rider like a month and a bit ago and i’ve watched like a couple of seasons since. i’m not doing em in any particular order, so i’m open to suggestions for which ones to watch next!

i’ve seen w, den-o, drive, revice, kabuto, ooo (in that order), and i’m up to date on geats.

#i'm a bit more partial to heisei era stuff (mostly phase 2 since i started with w and the format kinda stuck with me) #i tried dipping into agito but something about how dated the camera quality is is making it hard to power thru #showa era ones are still also kind of impenetrable to me for that same reason but i'd be willing to try em out #but i'll be honest you gotta make a p strong case #words words words

#kamen rider #not tagging anything more specific because idk how to tag it tbh #lets just say its a protagonist of a heisei phase 2 series #ask #hxmxbros

[transmandonnie]

every kamen rider season is so off the shits. it’s like I’m watching jojo except the main characters only ever meet in movies and also instead of stands they have belts that they use to fuse with somebody else, become danny phantom, use the power of furry cosplay, or summon guns. there are always monsters involved. one main character is a literal wizard

#phase 2 heisei era my beloved. and den-o. #I have to watch more of this fr #jami.txt

[fortunefavorsthebrave-dude]

finally got a wizard token for my collection, and found the missing fourze figure i needed at the same booth!! now i have yuki, kengo, and gentarou, and together they make the little krc flag and i LOVE them. that means i finally have one thing from each toku show i’ve completed, minus revice just bc it’s newer!! yeehaw!!

#sky speaks #really enjoying stealing riley's collection method it's very fun #i'd still like to get frs tajador and a revice something ofc #but that's the last thing i needed for a while tbh!! #i already have a little drive figure too bc i found him randomly at work #so i'm even set for my next series #after that i just need to rewatch ghost #then do ex-aid and zi-o #and then i'm DONE with phase 2 heisei rider #(not counting amazons shh) #holy shit!!

takeda kouhei is going to show up in minasho... pipeline strikes yet again...

#minasho #heisei phases 1 & 2 and also reiwa rider. wow #girl what were those minato shoujis coin laundering

[fortune-maiden]

Gotta love early Heisei Kamen Rider where our secondary rider finds a dead body buried inside a wall :)

#kamen rider ryuki #meanwhile our protagonist is an idiot and nearly crushed to death #i just... love the vibe of older rider shows. when did they lose it? #there's a clear style difference between heisei phase 1 & 2 but heisei phase 2 is still enjoyable #meanwhile reiwa has just been unwatchable for me

[biomic]

look at him!!!!!!!!

maybe it's the fact that he's in high school and that's taking me back to fourze but something about his vibe and even what little we know of the plot feels so reminiscent of early phase 2 heisei. i look at gotchard and i can so clearly see him alongside ooo and wizard fighting the ugliest cgi movie war monstrosity you've ever seen

#im jumping the gun here but everything im seeing from this show feels like it's one of those 'oh they made this just for me huh' deals #kendrix morgan died for our sins #kamen rider for ts

Never seen ultraman

What should I watch first to see if I like it or not?

Ultraman is a tokusatsu series with a very large variety of tones and styles. Each season is distinctly different from the last, especially in the New Generation era. Some seasons are very serious and gritty, some are slice-of-life, and some are light plot/heavy action. It's up to you on what you'd prefer!

I want to preface with the three eras (and sub eras) of Ultraman, just so you're aware of these terms when they come up:

Showa (1966 - 1987)

Heisei (1996 - 2012)

-> Heisei Trilogy/Part 1 (1996-1999)

-> Heisei Part 2/Phase 2 (2000 - 2012)

New Generation (2013 - Present)

-> Reiwa (2019 - Present)

That being said, I give you 5 equally valid options to begin:

Option 1:

Ultraman (1966)

Start with where it all began!*

Ultraman (1966) is Japan's take on the Twilight Zone but with a superhero-esqe twist. If you enjoy older sci-fi like the early seasons of Doctor Who or the first Star Trek, you'll greatly appreciate the practical effects, deep but episodic plots, and the unique kaiju/seijin.

From there, watch in order of release and enjoy just how much the show evolves. All the highs and lows.

*(Side note - technically Ultra Q (1966) is the first show but does not feature Ultraman whatsoever. This show serves as a prequel to the idea of kaiju and seijin in the modern world. If you're a completionist, you can start here and be amazed at how there are *still* monsters and plots making reappearances from this show)

Option 2:

Ultraman Tiga (1996)

Ultraman Tiga is the beginning of the Heisei Era and is widely regarded as one of the best series in the entire franchise.

I have lots of love to give to Tiga specifically, and this post of mine explains why that is:

Option 3:

Ultraman Mebius (2006)

Ultraman Mebius is the 40th anniversary of the Ultra series and is a beautiful continuation and love-letter of the Showa Era timeline. It features returning cast members, monsters, and plotlines from Ultraman, Ultraseven, Jack, Ace, Taro, Leo, and 80 (which all take place on the same Earth).

This show is a perfect introductory piece to the series because it exposes you to such a large amount of lore from the past while recontextualizing it with modern effects, richer storytelling, and a more serious tone. Mebius has so much heart, happiness, and hopefulness. It's a very positive and "heroic" type show.

Option 4:

Ultraman Orb (2016)

Ultraman Orb is, even while nestled in the near-middle of the New Gen Era, a fantastic starting piece and my typical recommendation for starters. It's quite fun and light-hearted but has an intense emotional core surrounding lost love and a broken friendship. The action and special effects are top-notch, and the main villain is an ICONIC character who pops up many times in later shows.

This show introduces fusions, which become a frequent New Gen trend (Orb does it the best of all). Great choice if you're looking to get dropped somewhere not too confusing or plot-intensive yet still action-y and engaging.

Option 5:

Ultraman Blazar (2023)

Ultraman Blazar is the newest season of Ultraman and started airing back in July. As of writing this, we are currently at Episode 8.

Blazar is unique and inventive so far in both its plot and aesthetic. It has a semi-serious sci-fi/military feel mixed with amazing new kaiju and.... a really strange Ultra lol. Blazar is unlike most thus far. He's primitive and beastly, kinda like a caveman.

It may not be the most completely accurate representation of the series as a whole, but nothing beats the excitement of watching the newest season as it airs!! The Tsuburaya official YouTube channel simulcasts each new episode as it airs in Japan (with japanese or english audio and subs).

I wish you luck on your multiverse-spanning Ultraman adventures!

i am only two shows away from completing Heisei Phase 2 what the fuck

(i have watched all of Reiwa so far, none of Showa (ONE. DAY.) and I'm on my fifth Heisei Phase 1)

[asknarashikari]

I feel like i left out of gotchard for a long time, tbf i was very focus on see school rn ( i am in my final year of highschool and it's stressing so i didn't have the chance to catch up)

So can you summarize Gotchard in 50 words or less?, btw it's okay you describe it like the summary like make no sense but actually true in the show and chaotic asf

Hmm... I don't really know how to do that honestly, summarizing it in so few words. I guess I'm the type of person who likes overly complicating things, lol

I guess to sum it all up as succintly as I can manage, I would say that Gotchard is "Reiwa's attempt for an early Heisei Phase 2 like show is a boy and his grasshopper making friends and saving the world with magic-that-isn't-magic-but-totally-is-magic... and I really like it over the overhyped show it succeeded"

On a personal note, thanks for succeeding in making me feel old because I graduated high school twelve years ago XD I still remember how stressful it is, especially with college entrance tests on top of the usual academic work. And I was very eager to just graduate and escape my high school as well.

If you need to take a break, do it, just relax for a bit (and watch some KR ;)) ). Trust me, you're better off taking a bit of a break than working through your stress. Honestly, I can probably attribute half my problems at work at my inability to just walk away and take a break, which is a habit I've had ever since I was a student- I was quite literally almost all study no play. Don't be like me lol
