This must be a joke!? That's the title...?! No wonder it's gonna aired on April Fool's day... ~

Kids from Japan have different taste... - I'll watch anyway since this would probably be the biggest event of a lifetime.

I am doubtful that Mezool, Gamel or any of the Greeds can die anyway - Core Medal = Greeed, Greeed = Core Medal.

Greeed can only be seal but cannot be destroy, unless one finds a way to directly destroy the Core Medals which contained their conciousness.


PS: I read that Movie War Core 'might' actually fits the OOO series much much more later in the episodes somewhere around when Goto finally becomes Birth, Maki managed to create 'fake' Core Medals, Ankh already obtained Kujaku plus Kondoru medals and the Greeed are back together again (Mezool and Gamel reformed themselves).

Numbers of older fans get less and less every year, so they are catering the young ones who are the future of the franchise. New blood keeps the show running...

Happy New Year to all too.

No. The MV in the bonus DVD does not include "Naturally". ~ I don't think there's ever an MV for that song, the single CD Maxi album doesn't come with one either.

Kamen Rider Another Decade...

Save time, save cost

Less time to transport whole crew and cast and equipment to location.

Easier for catering or food service and toiletry with familiar places.

Film permit is needed for filming outdoor especially in public places, application will takes time but most likely less if it is the same location every year.

Less time to fuzz with locations especially since filming outdoor would only require the usual spots without too much crowd - off limit places like that flood drain - the big longkang or under the jambatan. You'll need to keep out the fans or busy body.

When weather or traffic is bad and you're rushing with principal filming (dialogue) or real effect scene (stunt scene), your own studio lot, abandonded studio house, office recreational area, carpark, indoor offices would be the perfect choice.

When you save time, you save cost as well. Places like the stadium are rented out for special event (including filming) since they are useless outside the seasonal sport events, the management needs money to keep the stadium functional.

So yeah, there you go.

Medals = essence of Greeed. No medals got destroy yet, so yeah, they not dead...

Ow, sucks, I was really hoping to see that 'hybrid' rider idea. Maybe another movie exclusive rider since we will be getting an OOO's movie anyway just like AtoZ.


Me think that's the original trailer for the movie created from the original script until a last minute executive change and reshoot which created all the mess...

Mick-sama uses 'Smilodon'... ~

The Gaia memories seemed to comes with different format or ranking, such Zero(rumored to appear later), T1, T2, 'Fake'(Simulated) and ect.

Well, it is said that Katsumi Daido used a T1 Eternal to fight against Utopia during W Returns - Eternal story which is basically a prequel to AtoZ.

PS: Shotaro uses a T2 Joker in AtoZ (which was lost when Eternal summoned all T2 memories), but during the last episode of W, he was using the original T1 Joker.

T2 memories were said to be produce by Shroud when she was still working with the Sonozaki's, but she did not really finish them. Foundation X took over the project and was able to finish creating them but with a limited production because only Shroud can properly produce them.

Rumour has it that T3 is actually called a Memory Adapter. ~ supposedly there might not be a T3 at all, just the adapter.

Saiko-san used the 'Taboo' memory before she turned to 'Nasca'. Because she used the 'Nasca' without the limiter belt which is used only by the Sonozaki family, she was able to unleash Nasca's power and reached a 'Level 2'.

Yes, there is more memories with the same alphabet, like 'Cyclone' or 'Claydoll', 'Accel' or 'Apple', no matter what type ranking their respective Gaia Memories device are. ~ the memory device is just to contain the memories from Gaia (earth), the ranking represent the 'version' of the devices somewhat like USB 1.0 or USB 2.0 or the latest USB 3.0.

T2 are newer version of Gaia Memories (device) compare to T1, so yeah, they are better in designs. - the next generation in USB devices...

Too early to say but it's supposed to boost the power of any memory since the main enemy (Commander Dopant) is\was using it as well.

I think is good that they are getting more out of W , the background settings is so big that it would have been a waste. ~ Look what happen to all the other previous series, all wasted. Like that 13 tribes of Kiva...



PS: As for Skull appearance in AtoZ - W episode 13, Virus Dopant incident.

No. Blame the writer... ~ the one below

Yes, we must blame Inoue... Onore!! ~ he always write what he wanted instead of what was planned...

The 13 Tribes thing can only be found in related promotion info regarding Kiva (specifically about the movie - it is also stated in the Japanese Wiki though), only a little bit of the settings were used in Kiva.

This. +1000

Looks mighty fine there. The cobra head is quite fantastic. ~ Remind me of Serpentor... Cobra la la la la la...

Saved. Thank you very much. ~ Now... I really can't wait for my copy.

It looks like Toei kinda updated the helmet for Ichigo again ~ looking at the 'metallic' looking part.

Already preordered both W returns on BD, can't hardly wait now...

Nope, there is no collector edition for either one of them, only regular editions. But first press comes with bonus items though which according to cdjapan, Eternal - 2 reprint of ganbaride cards and an Ishimori Pro original card and Accel - a B2 size poster.

But then, if according to Amazon Japan, Eternal and Accel each comes with 2 reprint of ganbaride cards and an Ishimori Pro original card.

Either way, I'll accept any of the special bonus items.

Nothing about BD treatment for W yet, but I don't think Toei would release BDs for W anytime soon after they have finished releasing the last of the volumes for W. We'll see though... ~ I have been wondering about this myself since last year after seeing the news about BDs for OOO...

Checked. Indeed there was, but long sold out... ~ looks like an Amiami shop limited exclusive. It's not listed anywhere else including toei video store site, except Amiami's own rakuten page.

I would never thought of looking up at Amiami anyway, it sucks to miss out though.

I used to prefer buying from Amazon Japan since they have better discount and not to mention that we as foreigners are not apply to sale tax in Japan so the price we get are always lower that stated on the page (after deducting the VAT - Value At Tax), so even after adding the shipping charges for DHL courier, it's still lower or somewhat the same price as the pricing at the other site (shipping not included yet). - Unfortunately I had to give up Amazon Japan because of 'FINAS' problems with DHL in Penang (Many other people were affected including in state like Kedah that relied upon DHL in penang).

So now, I use Playasia and Yesasia instead. Playasia for the lower price and the freedom of choosing between mail bag or mail boxes, and yeah, coupons that comes with each parcel, sadly, Playasia don't do free shipping (for above order around US$20) for Japan origin Blurays anymore, only for DVDs...

Yesasia for the free shipping (must buy above US$32) which is now upgraded to cheap courier shipping (DPEX worldwide, but settled by Skynet locally).

I have an account and points at CDJapan, but haven't buy anything from them yet. ~ I only used them for reference currently.

If it's a exclusive limited to amiami only, probably no more stock already anyway. - fulfilling a quota based on agreement with Toei Video...
