After all the massive news about the 15th Heisei Kamen Rider series yesterday, here's a TV news report about the KAMEN RIDER GAIM press event, and a preview on his transformation. LOCK ON!
Kamen Rider Gaim is Kota Kazuraba, the 2nd dancer for "Team Gaim" but eventually stopped playing the game and left to look for a job, and protect his lonely sister. He's a nice guy, and "protecting people" is his very reason in fighting. He accidentally found the Sengoku Driver. His catchphrase: “Passing through the audience, On Stage!”
To premiere on October 6th, Kamen Rider Gaim will be directed by Ryuta Tasaki (Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger) and and Takayuki Shibasaki, with scripts from Gen Urobuchi (Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet). The show was produced by Motoi Sasaki (TV Asahi) and Naomi Takebe (Toei).
Oooooh. So they're padlocks.
ReplyDeleteThats...interesting.
Lock on!
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of the belt. And the look of it. It's simple, yet shows off the theme well.
So THAT's why it's called LOCK seeds... because it's an actual LOCK!
ReplyDeleteCards (Decade), Usb flash disc (W), medals (OOO), switch (Fourze), Rings (Wizard) and now... locks. Wow, talk about creative!
LOCK ON!! get it ohohohohoooo what a bad pun. Well that English voice box on sengoku driver sounds cool though.
ReplyDeletedancers huh? I bet if Tomo Yanagishita, Nobuyama Toshihiro and Sasaki Yoshihide went for the interview for this Kamen Rider for sure they will get it.. They are a very good actors + dancers also...
ReplyDeleteSeeing all the riders before the series even starts gave me an idea for an interesting series concept. What if they did a series about a rider who isn't the first one to appear in the show? Like it focuses on the secondary rider becoming stronger than one that is already fighting monsters?
ReplyDeleteLooks like you might have yourself a female rider off the bat(inb4 dead halfway through series). Enjoy your faps.
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness, though, I hate the design of the main rider, but knowing that there are 5 (so far maybe?) riders, with ones that actually look decent-good, I'm down for it.
Bring on Fruit Ninj- I mean, Kamen Rider Gaim!
as interesting as Gaim looks, I didn't think that the belt would look so... boring
ReplyDeleteThis new rider series has aspects of Kabuto the same way Wizard has similar aspects of Hibiki. All riders have the same belt where they insert their personal extraterrestrial gadget, 5 main riders, A rich kid rider. (I'm just making the observations, not complaining.) As alwasys I am excider for this new season to begin!.. But also a bit sad becasue Wizard is soooo damn good.
ReplyDeleteLOL he looks like shunpei
ReplyDeleteI hope the belt is as subdued as it sounds in this clip. I've had enough of singing belts that often present a tonal clash with the gravity of a dramatic situation when a Rider gets up to fight. However, at least Wizard has been quietening down on its belt lately.
ReplyDeleteThis show premise sounds so stupid. Bring it on!
@Mr.J Didnt that happpen in ryuki?
ReplyDeletethank gosh im not alone thinking the protagonist looks like shunpei!
ReplyDeleteAnd soon, Kyoryuger and Kamen Rider Gaim Dance Battle...
ReplyDelete@MR.J: it also already happened on Blade, Den O, and probably Wizard too(we never knew exactly WHEN nitou became Beast).
ReplyDeleteGaim looks like Ryotarou and Shunpei.
ReplyDeleteLock itself look like number 6 though.
ReplyDeleteAnother unmanly looking rider but those lock seeds are a clever design. I'm a little nervous after finding out that Gen Urobuchi is a writer but I really wanna see the first episode.
ReplyDeleteThis is just pathetic!!!
ReplyDelete“Passing through the audience, On Stage!” sound familiar
ReplyDelete>Gen Urobushi writing scripts
ReplyDeleteI can't help but relate the Lock Seed to the Grief Seed from madoka
With Urobuchi writing the script I have a feeling that at least one (or more) of those Riders will die..
ReplyDeleteso the 6 here was for the lock shape, eh~
