It's Katoki, right? Guy's been whoring out Virtual-On whenever he could.

>>13979001
-The interviewer talks about the surprise of a fruit-themed belt, and compares it to 555's phone. Urobuchi says he's completely fine with 555's phone. Urobuchi says that to him, the belt (and being a rider) has to be something scary, which is something that goes back to the original riders being Shocker mutants, and maybe he's just old but he thinks mobile phones are totally scary; There are plenty of horror stories revolving around them, after all. He notes how pervasive smartphones are and wonders why they haven't made a smartphone belt yet, wondering if it's because they already did 555. He mentions how cool 555 as a rider is both in terms of the design and the movements.

-The interviewer asks Urobuchi what he thinks of Hibiki's taiko. Urobuchi thinks it fits the rider's design and youkai theme perfectly. If he were just told "the belt is a taiko" he'd have been surprised, but if he were told "it's a youkai with a taiko" that makes sense to him.

-The interviewer mentions how playing cards were also used as the theme for JAKQ Dengekitai and Urobuchi comments on how easy it is to link cards to horror through gambling. It's easy to think up stuff with most themes, but he had real trouble thinking of how to turn oranges into something evil. He could only come up with food-related disaster, or natural disaster. That's how he reached "malice without a reason" = Hellheim. When turning plants into something scary, he figured that the only thing to do would be to focus on their ability to propagate and take over the environment . Another source for the idea was the power of organisations. He wanted to use something that would be scary for children, and figured 3/11 was the most scary thing at the time, and so went with natural disasters and the environment itself as an enemy.

>>13979002
-The interviewer mentions how Gaim had a lot of "fears". The fruit of Hellheim, the fear from killing someone, the fear of being fooled by adults, the fear of your own body changing, and notes how this is similar to early Heisei riders. Urobuchi says he's surprised he managed to get away with all this; At the very first meeting everyone told him to tone down the violence. He was wondering what the hell a non-violent tokusatsu hero would be, would this hero make his enemies repent with a catharsis beam?

-The interviewer recalls that during the previous interview, when Urobuchi told him (off-record) that he'd be writing the next Rider, he said he'd like to see something like 555 again, but Urobuchi said he'd been told that it's no longer possible to make something like 555. He asks Urobuchi what he thinks "something like 555" means. Urobuchi says they meant stuff like people being killed by monsters and turning to dust. The interviewer asks what about things like the first monster Kouta killed turning out to be his friend Sumii and Hase's death, and Urobuchi said they were necessary; He was, after all, hired to make something like early Heisei riders. What impressed him the most in 555 was how they seriously turned the protagonist into one of the monsters, and the Grongi in Kuuga were truly scary. He thinks that this is what defines Kamen Rider: For children, it's the next step after Super Sentai, that teaches them that courage comes from overcoming fear. He thinks that that hurdle of fear has to be one that gives a challenge and makes you feel like it was worth it to overcome it. If not, children will succumb when confronted with real horror.

>>13979028
-The interviewer asks is he's saying that "safe" stuff is actually not good for children, and Urobuchi says this is precisely it. It's not like monsters are going to jump out of the TV and actually harm people, so horror on TV ought to be exaggerated. It helps children to form mental images to train for real situations where they might actually get hurt. It beats bringing them to the middle east to show them what life is like there, to show them that there are places on Earth where people get shot and die on a daily basis. But that's something they'll have to handle when they grow up as an extension of their world, and teaching them that all that takes place in another world that has nothing to do with them so they have nothing to worry about isn't proper education. They ought to be taught that fearsome things really do happen in this world, and they should be prepared.

Because he is cool, and makes for a great visual.

Daily reminder that the '93 MechaGodzilla came the closest to killing Godzilla. If it weren't for Rodan's intervention, it would have succeeded.

Real by what standard?
Internal consistency?
Real life plausibility?
Least amount of occult or fantasy elements?
Grittiness?
Robot designs?

The answer is VOTOMS

Destiny.

The early episodes are actually pretty ok. Things don't even start getting dumb until Kira surives exploding, and then the Cline faction happens.

The real aneurysm-inducing stupid begins after seven or so episodes of Destiny.

Was SEED mode ever confirmed as a newtype phenomenon? Seems I remember Coordinators being good at other stuff.

It's possible that they did, and nobody noticed because the Fedration and Zeon only had eyes on their own soldiers.

And there's Lalah, who was a newtype prostitute.

Wasn't there a thing in SRW where Amuro used his newtype powers to win at ping pong?

You guys are only even obsessed with the idea of a Crossbones anime because it shows up in videogames and model kits/toys a lot for a manga series.

>>13977200
I want it because mecha pirates are fucking cool

>>13977200
I just liked the manga. I want all manga I like to get anime adaptations

Crossbone's first appearence and tryon are the only good things in try other than fumina doujins fucking fight me

TFW there will never be a good second half of a Gundam franchise ever again.

Note that it ONLY affects rival suits. The Team Tryhard never has to worry about particle consumption.

Well, accidentally stepping in shit shortens the lifespan of your average shoe by a dramatic amount. Maybe that's what happened to his footwear?

Yeah, bro - fucking cell phone auto grammar checker. But seriously man, this show looked so promising in the first two episode, now this lol.

>how does a shoe go from decent to complete garbage in such a short span?

See, when a man decides to go full Hitler, it kinda ruins a lot of his charm.

So to all you would-be anime protagonists, please do us all a favor and not go full Hitler.

Dubs are for little children and people who can't read. Original audio is always best audio, not just for anime/Japanese stuff, but for everything.

This is an unpopular opinion, apparently.

Brain Powered is in my top ten mecha series.

I enjoyed Gundam 00 Season 2 more than the first season.

I never saw the appeal of Gurren Lagann.

>No one talks about it, or parodies it.
As the old saying goes: 'Now bitch, you know that's a lie'
The web ran through quite a bit with that and making fun of Kylo Ren

>Imagine if he had died during Return of the Jedi as originally planned. That scene would be deeply remembered and talked about for decades

Debatable. For one, we never really get circumstances of his death. Simply that Ford wanted it. This isn't like the originally planned death of Lando, where we know they went as far as actually writing it and were all set to do it.

For all we know, people would have looked back on it as a clumsy move done for shock value. It's all in the execution.

I haven't even seen this yet.

>dat blue and orange

the films were made at different times, Star Wars was pretty revolutionary and defined the popcorn flick genre, these days the industry is bloated with sci fi and superheroes out the ass, TFA was a solid movie that continued what its predecessors started but hardly stood out compared to something like Avatar or District 9.

Trying to continue that shitty porn one the /b/-tard on /a/ made a few hours ago?
