So anyone a fan of the Kamen Rider series?
I'm so far new to it and I wonder what iteration I should watch and and which iteration I should avoid.
So far my only experience with Toku superheroes are the Super Sentai series and their localizations growing up along with a bit of Ultra Man.

Ask /krg/ or look into the /m/ archives on 4chan. I'd personally reccomend Agito, Blade, Kabuto, Gaim, Ex-Aid, Build, or Amazonz. Best to check out videos/synopses of what interests you as well.

>Gaim
Best Kamen Rider.
>>402 (OP) 
Well, I always say this to newcomers, start with the Heisei show first, starting with Kuuga. You can start with the Showa era first but keep in mind that it is a product of their time. Might be goofy to folks in current year but back when it came out, it was a banger. Probably still is.
>>402 (OP) 
It depends on what you are looking for in a show. Examples:

-Gaim was written by the creator of Puella Magicka Madoka, and has similarities with the anime's plot. So, if you know/like it, you will probably like Gaim too.

-Kuuga and Agito are a mix between Tokusatsu, crime drama and soap operas, focusing way more on character's interactions than on the monsters, villains and action.

-In-between those, you have tokusatsu that try to be a mix of Japanese or western pop culture shows (anime, novels, manga, literature, cinema), like Den-O, W, OOO/Ozu, Fourze, Wizard, Ghost, Ex-Aid and others.

-You also have those who rely heavily on the soap opera side, such as Faiz/555, Hibiki, Kiva.

-And then those who are isolated in their own category, such as Ryuki, Blade and Build.

so, basically, guide yourself based on what you like first, so you can watch a Kamen Rider show that will feel similar to what you like, so you can start getting used to the genre. Only after that should you go watch more shows in the genre.

I hear that once you watch Gaim, you don't need to watch any of the others.

Shoko should have stayed dead and buried in episode 1 and let MC actually get some painfully generic character development and start from there. Unfortunately, I get the feeling anons at the time were right in thinking she was some faggot exec's waifu, so she kept getting shoehorned everywhere, right into the lackluster ending as well.
Valvare's both problem is that the first 2 episodes area really good. Then it goes to complete shit. Destiny has the same issue where it's start is really strong so you keep watching hoping it will pick up.
I remember it, it was shit.
Also the ending was terrible.

Cross Ange was alright, she starts off really tsun and then gets dere except with everyone.  They had some interesting concepts they don't really pursue too far, but there's a good amount of revenge porn where jerks get what's coming to them.  

Better than Knights and Magic.

>it started out fine, was delightfully retarded for most of it, but had a shitty ending.

Looking for more info, but only been hearing rumors.
Basically, rumors claims that Hasbro, now owner of the Power Rangers franchise is trying to cut ties with the Japanese production.
the problem is that Hasbro is trying to sell PR as a "serious action brand" for teenagers, but Toei has been trying to market it as a "children brand" in the last few years (starting around ToQger, and following with designs like the ones from Zyuohger , Kyuranger, and so on)
Of course, newer Super sentai toys being very kiddy and not marketable to Hasbors intended audience.
All this being teh reason why Hasbro skips some of the latest SS titles for adaptations.
Anyone has more specific info on this situation?
I don't broski but want this board to live so I post to show spiritual support.

Back in 8/m/ we had a thread made to elaborate on a rough flowchart for mecha designs. It had some decent activity but it wasn't finished by the time shit went down. This is the latest version I had made by then, far from finished. Would /mecha/ be interested in continuing this?

I'd like to use this chart for my own designs if I could actually draw
How many shows/mangos even do something with evolving design philosophy like that?

Some might do if they have modular designs, though it's fun to categorize them all.

Early Showa and much of Heisei are good if you want serious and semi-serious stuff, though. Also GMK.

I have an idea. It's likely an incredibly foolish and demanding idea, but bear with me.

Our genre has been around for over half a century at this point, if not older. In all that time, we've  seen the collective publishing of hundreds of manga, anime, and light novels. A fair number of them made it into English and are loved for it. However, many more have not. For this I propose a project, possibly in cooperation with /animu/ and /japan/ maybe even /a/, that project's aim being to track down and possibly translate obscure /mecha/ manga that is out of print and/or never made it out of Moonland. Pic related. Interested?

Any of the build divers mangas. And the 2nd build fighters manga which is a full tournament story featuring the Zaku amazing.

Any of the photo novels other than sentinel.

I see. What's a photo novel?

Can we do Lost Memory, though?
Replies: >>451

Photo novels are novels with supporting images for the text. They use model kits and usually get released in modeling magazines. Bandai released 1 online fully translated on their website recently.
Fuuuuuck, we need something to get us going again after the old BO left.
