Imo, Ikki from Revice, Godai from Kuuga and Eiji from OOO are great examples of how to write a good optimistic character...while Hotaro is the opposite.
@HandOn145 The difference between Fourze and Gotchard is that Fourze explore meaning of relationships and friendships between people so feels more tangible while is Gotchard is very pokemon-ish about it.
Oh yeah, even compared to something like Saber, Gotchard has been the most boring rider-rider series I've ever seen. It has been made all the worse by how utterly directionless the show is.
I think for now, you should just stop forcing yourself to make rider content that you dont enjoy making. I would still love to see you cover like the news and your opinions on the ongoings of the series or just your opinions on rider stuff in general like the rankings but as far as covering the show especially gotchard i dont think you should hold yourself on watching or covering something you dont enjoy atm and if later on you decided hey maybe this new rider show is your jam and you want to cover it then thats up to you and im sure most of your viewers would be ok with that.
I am not enjoying Gotchard very much. But I think the online hate might be worse. So I would say just do what you enjoy since I have gotten tired of watching Gotchard hate.
Gotchard is my first Kamen Rider series and I really have enjoyed it so far. I don’t get what all the hate is about. I watched the first episode of Geats and I like Gotchard more. I didn’t really watch Pokemon and any of the card game animes growing up. So Gotchard feels new to me. After I’ve caught up with Gotchard, I’ll binge watch Geats.
i think its because from a long time fan perspective the show is pretty tropey, plus its been 5 years i think that we do not do the serial arcs for the series. Gotchard early on feel very heisei because of this until they switched back probably because it wasnt interesting enough. Another thing propably because the main character actors acting show their inexperience very well so there is also that, plus we have a big cast we could cut some role down easily without the story actually changing mainly the 2 seniors. Gotchard arcs and plot feel unsually quick not enough build up or time spend with the characters or just to sink their cool ideas in. One major things is because everything come and go fast it feels like every episode is just a toy commercial. Plus probably after Geats people still have high hope that they find a balance between appeal to kids and adult in this more sanitized era so they easily hate Gotchard more.
No hate but if gotchard is genuinely your first KR let alone gateway to Toku/Nerd media in general, i genuinely think you dont have much a place to add here, Hotaro as a character really does not compare to a majority of other Primary Protags, and the ones he does (Ghost, Fourze, Saber, etc) he still sucks in comparison due to not being as fleshed out let alone personalized via characterization, and this is besides Gotchard as a whole show all together, not tryna say you’re wrong for your opinion, but you literally just dont have the experience or knowledge to go off here, im glad you like Gotchard but thats where ima leave this
For me personally, I've been on and off with rider. Every year I watch a few episodes of the new series, and if it doesn't get me, I stop and wait until next year. I stopped watching week to week after Zio. I enjoyed Revice, but that's it. and I hate the legend rider gimmick. its cool every now and then but its so boring when its done every year For you personally its a bit different since you make content on it, but it's really up to you as you said. PR is pretty much on the backburner, sentai is the only one left lol
I've been in the same boat. Saber I dropped off, got as far as Dragonic knight. Never even try to watch Gotchard. These shit seasons are kind of nice though since it doesn't mean I have to deal with the current season, so I can go back and watch the older ones. I watched Blade back in March-April because of that, and a damn good season that was.
Remember that their target audiences are from 4-12, so if you sometimes feel that the story is not deep enough for you, don't feel bad or complain. The main objective of Toei is to sell toys and merch for these series.
Ah the "It's for kids so it's fine to not put effort into it" defense. Back in the day kids show has depth because its written by ADULT to teach kids moral lesson, by I guess by today standard for kids mean you don't have to put as much effort into your work eh, maybe I should tell people to feed their baby raw material than cooked food because they're kids, why put the effort into making good food they don't know what delicious food taste anyway.
I stopped at around ep8, went back, and only got at 12, then havent watched again since. Your point that this series has ticked all the things to hate on a rider show is so spot on lol. Hotarou is genuinely disingenuous and wrecks the whole experience, i gotta agree, that may be the root of why i cant invest myself watching.
I think you should go rewatch a series that you love, if these past few Reiwa seasons have been wearing you down. Personally, I haven't loved any since Build and haven't watched weekly since Zero-One, but taking a step back helps.
The good thing about Kamen Rider is each season is standalone. You can just drop in and out of any season without missing out too much. Say, you drop out of Gotchard (I don't blame you), you can just stop watching or keep up on any older Rider series until you see if any of the upcoming one interests you. Any newcomer might be fine with Gotchard but as a fan of the franchise since the Heisei era, I just can't stand the show. It has cool suits (except the belts), nice songs but the story and characters are just so bland. The gimmick is an IRL gacha. And don't get me start on the Legend Rider stuff. What's the point of Legend? What's the occasion behind his creation? Kamen Rider just had its 50th anniversary a couple of years ago, Decade and Zi-O are having their 15th and 5th anniversary respectively but Toei ain't celebrating (plus Decade's dead). Adding the fact that his toys are normal DX, he's just made for that Legend Rider cash grab and him appearing in the main series feels like a distraction. The only good thing about it is they got Masahiro Inoue back as Decade for the Legend special, albeit only a recorded line, no longer making Zi-O vs Decade his last appearance. Good because seriously, the two Zi-O and Decade specials are awful. At least Legend is entertaining until he makes the word Gorgeous annoying to listen to.
In 2021, I split my theme park stuff from the TV/film stuff, but it was going nowhere and really felt I'd get more out of focusing on the parks and stuff as well as feeling a little disenchanted from the industry in general. After dropping Twitter, where most of the fandom is anyway, its free to just enjoy something every week. King-ohger was enjoyable, BoonBoomger is enjoyable in a way where its nice to turn my brain off for 20mins but legit is on better ground than Gotchard despite lore and aesthetics being more on point with the latter-which is the only reason to keep with it every week at this point
I found myself a pattern of liking one rider series and the next series skipping it then liking the one after that i enjoyed geats and im skipping gotchard so hopefully this coming series is good
Hat. 😆 🤣 Revice started strong to me, hooked me in after not watching Saber. But Revice kinda dropped the ball on their premise, not pursuing the personal demons concept very much. Geats is legitimately awesome, but it feels like a Rider show from the W to Gaim era. The show wasn't bogged down by too many forms and the characters were well written! I think it'll stand out as gem for this first Reiwa era overall. I missed Gotchard's premiere because I was still halfway through Geats, but honestly glad I missed it. It doesn't seem like the show for me anyway. Is there an actual purpose to the legend rider aspect in it...? Are there cameos or is it just lifeless suits returning to fill out the show? That's would be the only stuff I'd want to watch.
Gotchard has mostly just been a big blur to me so far and it does feel draining. Luckily we’re not too far until the end so it might be worth just taking a break and see if Gavv grabs your attention when it comes out. I’m not expecting it to be incredible right away but hopefully it will at least be more entertaining. In the meantime I’m just going through previous rider shows I haven’t seen yet and having a much better time.
Considering how you handled Saber maybe it's best to not make coverage of a rider show weekly like you are with Sentai. Since you seem to have a much better time with Rider when you binge it as opposed to doing it weekly. Maybe come back to Gotchard once the show is over and you can binge the rest afterwards. And then maybe don't do any Gavv show coverage until after the show is complete. I know that means you won't be talking about the new rider for a year but if that'll at least you to enjoy rider a bit more than maybe try that.
Never missed a single heisei/reiwa season, be it good or bad. I just treat it as a tradition at this point, watching it weekly. I can't fathom missing a bad season and then have to bingewatch it somewhere down the line.
given the title of course not but do what you want with the series if you want to continue want to watch it or not for me i enjoyed both Heisei phases and Reiwa i enjoyed Agito, Geats Saber and Zi-O i enjoy the forms used by using the trinkets of Books Watches Buckles to cards and any other trinkets used so i enjoy good shows like that and I don’t mind cameo’s of other riders in other rider series as basically crossover episodes with them since Zi-O had quite most of past riders making a debut in that show as episodes in the series to the mini series of Zi-O series like the Shinobi series with three or four episodes I wish for them to do a full Shinobi series for a show and show those other four ninja riders that were in the silhouettes and use a different rider system for it instead of the Ziku-Driver system so both Kiva and Zi-O are my most favorable shows if the new one called Gavv turns out to be good or not when it comes
One of the things I like about Gotchard is the gimmick. Yeah it might be a cash grab with all of the collectable cards, in booster packs no less. But, for me at least, it has been fun collecting all of the different cards with unique designs (One of my personal favourites is Daiohni).
if your not down for covering actual gotachard stuff i get it, maybe wait and see what gavv is going to be doing before seeinf if not coving at all aside from maybe key reveals, EF even if not doing gotachard ep reviews ect maybe jsut do the scans/toy reaveals
I’d say just to stop watching. You clearly don’t enjoy it and like just come back to it once you get that rider kick again. Cuz doesn’t matter if the show is good or bad, if you aren’t feeling it, you may not be enjoying it as much as when you are in the mood to watch it. And if you fall out of rider, that’s perfectly fine. Seemingly, it’s just not for you anymore and there’s nothing wrong with ditching it and finding something you actually enjoy watching.
Hey if you want to watch a toku series that isn't camp, maybe check out Garo and it's sequels, Garo Makai and Garo Makai Senki. I wouldnt mind a review of those series'.
I feel like I should stop watching Kamen rider my family makes fun of me and my mom got mad at me for wearing for my den-o belt saying to stop wearing that cuz she is embarrassed by what my aunt would say 😞
I am fine but... what is the deal with Legend? Oh yeah, I ditched Saber. Not going to join in again. Geats was AWESOME! Going through Revice. It is good. My bad on ditching due to pink. Sentai however.... It got to a slow run on Zenkaiger, KingOhger and Kiramager. Donbrothers.... got disappointed. Finished it for the wrong reasons apparently. At least fan service in Kingohger / Kyoryuger.
Despite all the hate Gotchard gets, it has the 2nd best toy sales in the first quarter of release of All Reiwa era Kamen Rider series. Only Zero-one did better.
I had the same exact thing happen to me. Fell off at Saber, but later binged it and enjoyed it. Revice was okay, Geats was great but dragged a bit towards the middle-end. Gotchard is Gotchard.
Well in my opinion I'm not really watching it I'm just trying to see what their gonna do with the final form of gotchard there's lots of theories going on about it but like I'm not really watching it but I wanna see what their gonna try to do with it
I'd say just watch them on your own, if you like them, continue watching and make a video when something noteworthy or something happens you want to talk about, or if it gets boring, just drop the show. I've skipped Gotchard and Saber partway in as well, though I might have gotten busy with life too
Ok this is kinda related to the topic but does everyone not thing Jungle Fury isn’t one of the best seasons of all time? It’s always been my Number 1 and I just assumed everyone agree. But I’ve been seeing more hate for it recently.
I love kamen rider shows but still I love kamen rider gotchard because kamen legend came into kamen rider gotchard world by fighting the evil riders from another world I also love kamen rider gotchard song just like kamen rider legend song it’s amazing I wish gotchard could use the other riders cards by using that forbidden spell on his steamliner card
I have been watching Gotchard, but mostly as camp. There are good characters (The Hades Sisters, the wonder twins, and Tuxedo Minato) but Houtarou sinks every scene that he is in. Rinne is okay but nothing to get excited about. The main camp element is how often the show rips off Pokemon, Yugioh, Sailor Moon, and Digimon. If you are not enjoying the series then don't cover it. Toei is not paying you!
I havent seen gotchard, but id say just stop watching it. When its finished then you can go back and binge it and see if it goes any better, the week to week format can be brutal and make things you dislike even worse.
Man. Gotchard has been so bad for me. I stopped at episode 7, then binged to episode 33 a week ago, and I did not get any better for me. Boring af. I started watching Geats again on Tubi
@GGX120 Geats is not perfect, but at least it is enjoyable, and the characters are interesting. For me, Gotchard only had like 3 good episodes, all about Valvarad.
If you're not enjoying watching something, you should just stop otherwise you'll resent it. Anytime i feel like I'm watching a show because i have to, rather than i want to, i completely stop watching
After the bar Geats set, Gotchard kinda weak...Saber is the worse reiwa rider show. Also, Legend was not necessary, should had just brought back decade or zio.
I'd say that you do you, if yoy don't like Gotchard that's more than fine but don't force yourself do a video about it. Is no fun to do something that you feel obligated to do. Take a break from the shoe ubtil the new one comes around. I may be a fan of this season, but I understand that is not for everyone nor that it is a great one in particular. Gotchard is my Guilty Pleasure
If you don’t enjoy Kamen Rider, then I’d suggest don’t make content for it, I would say the same with just Toku in general. You should be able to watch and make the content you enjoy. I’ve kinda fell off rider after saber, the forms and gimmicks really got ridiculous during that time for me. Sentai has been okay for me, but I’ve mostly been watching older seasons I haven’t seen before. But Kamen Rider Legend and the avatar changes from Donbrothers are the dumbest thing ever, the anniversary stuff is getting annoying. When Decade and Gokaiger did it, it was something all new for those respective series, but now they do it every damn year it seems! As for rider content going forward, if you wanted to finish Gotchard, you could review it in batches, or just review the lead up and finale. Or you could possibly do a rewatch of an older series, not just rider, but any show (Toku or non-Toku for that matter) and give your thoughts on each episode, or again, in do that in batches. There are many things you can do, but it all boils down to whether or not you enjoy doing it. If you don’t like making rider related content at all, then I would say just stop doing it and make something that you actually like.
You don't have to force yourself to watch. I'd suggest you just stop and do reviews for when Gavv comes out. Me personally I've stopped a long time ago and everytime I try to keep up, it justs bores me and I stop. It basically does the opposite of what BoonBoomger does for me, which is instantly bringing up my mood after watching an episode.
Honestly, I don't blame you. The Reiwa Rider era has been a mixed bag, but Gotchard has been by far the worst. Just from the trailers alone, this series made a very poor impression by being very generic, but once you start watching the show, you quickly realize that Gotchard is just a chord. This show expects you to care about Chemies, but it gives no reason to care about them other than "they're cute." It provides so few reasons to collect them, which is ironic since the Chemies are the most blatant cash grab I've ever seen. Hotaro is by far the worst rider protagonist I've seen in a while, made all the worse by how much the show tries to say, "Yes, he is worthy of the title Kamen Rider. He is the hero we need." when hardly done anything to earn it, he only got the belt because some old man he didn't know told him so. Oh, sure. In the first episode, they try to convince you that Hotaro is worthy by saving Raine's life from the Steam party. The problem was already revealed early on that Steam meant no harm and wasn't trying to kill anyone, so Hotaro actions were just pointless, yet the show insists, "Yep, Kamen rider!" and does this over and over again. It gets so bad that they had to rip off a scene from Kamen Rider W's movie. They blatantly rip off the scene when everyone cheers for W to win against Eternal before he destroys Fuuto. But it doesn't work in this context because, in Gotchard, everyone's memory is always erased by alchemists whenever they see something involving alchemy, Chemies, and including Gotchard. This moment angers me because of how blatant it is trying to use member berries to hype up their own show while failing to understand what made those moments work in the first place.
I kind of get what you're saying. A few years ago I stopped watching KR entitely after Gaim ended, then Drive didn't hook me up and just skipped over Ghost, but then Ex-Aid was announced and when i learned it was videogame themed it peeked my interest, but then the suits were revealed and that threw me off. So i decided to start watching it, hoping the designs would eventually grow on me, but after about 10 episodes I said nope, can't stand the suits so I dropped it entirely and as the series went on i saw that the suits got progressively more ridiculous. Then stopped watching KR completely until 2022, i started Zero-One and loved it, kinda reignited the spark of KR for me, ad now i'm currently watching Build and i love it even more! Sorry about that rant, in the end i could just tell you to make content about the things you like, you'll enjoy it and in turn, we'll enjoy it even more!
I’d say do it more casually as even I haven’t checked out Gotchard in a while. I love Kamen Rider but Gotchard is not a good series and not watching it is perfectly fine as it speaks to the quality of it. Frankly I just want to see you having fun with videos and covering what you want to. Also I find it funny how when both Rider and Sentai stray from their usual formulas but keep enough to be recognized, they actually do pretty good and are great series mostly. But when Rider goes back to basics it usually doesn’t work out whether it be to casting, writing, direction et cetera. Where as Sentai can use the back to basics stuff and do a pretty good series or two. This is just an observation I’ve had btw.
Don't force yourself to cover Gotchard because we don't like him either 😂😂. Wait until we get more news about Gavv and see how you like the next series.
Honestly, you should just just quit while you're ahead. Like you saId; this show to you is an amalgam of all the Toku tropes you hate in the worst possibile form. Not to mention, there's only so many ways you can say "Shut up Hotaro" until even that runs it's course.
Even after the high that was Geats, Gotchard was so bad they needed to turn it into an anniversary season to save kamen rider even tho they already made one 2 seasons ago
The main thing that I don’t like about Gotchard is Hotaro’s relationship with Hopper one and steam liner, and how hopper one is basically reminding me of what I didn’t like, and why I couldn’t get into Pokémon. I think Hopper and Pikachu are voiced by the same person, possibly. That led to my dislike of Horo as a character. Steam liner should have been the main Chemy that he was friends with. Maybe that’s just my train bias talking, but I really think the show would’ve went better.
I stopped watching Gotchard; show was TERRIBLE, but the whole Daybreak Arc AT FIRST seemed interesting.....but after seeing them now going into Legend Rider stuff, seems they've run outta ideas. BLEH. But no, don't completely give up on Kamen Rider; it's still overall good, and a good Series is bound to come up. Just look at Geats.
I think you do it this way, stop watching Gotchard, try Gavv. If you like Gavv, continue, if it's bad, stop watching it too. As an former Precure fan, I used that formula and honestly I just dropped to watch Wonderful since season is far away from its essence so much that it doesn't feelt like a "Precure" season. If you don't like something you don't have to watch or comment. For example, Azenzone was normally a Precure reviewer, but he didn't like Wonderful Precure and stopped making long review videos about it, now reviewing Boonboomger instead. Currently I'm enjoying Boonboomger (only series in this year I enjoyed) and waiting for next Kamen Rider and Precure seasons.
It is very concerning to me, Dosm of how your current outlook of the tokusatsu shows you watch are these products of entertainment when anything it’s a misunderstood art piece. It upsets me to know how the collective fandom hates the show’s existence like their failure of a son. But in this case you have expressed a multitude of times of frustration of only how it fails, but never how it succeeds. However this mentality comes at a cost of ignoring the artist and visionaries trying their best to create a valid Rider show. I suggest covering the future rider relates topics with a friend so at least balance out the reviews to at least try and get better at talking about the content without the constant sense of hatred of the art so your audience who watches for rider stuff isn’t deprived of your input. Thank you
I would continue with Gotchard but talk about it less. I think you'll really regret it if you don't finish it. Because you want it to reference others Kamen Rider in the future. You can keep the previews going if anything actually catches your interest rather than just be interesting to those people who like Gotchard, then you can talk about it. Maybe if there's a new Rider or a new final form. Don't waste time covering every new form from Gotchard. If it makes you happy you could even do a rant video where you just shit on the show. I beg you slow it down to a crawl in hopes of being able to regularly cover the next Rider.
Gotchard as a series is really bad, like it makes ghost and saber watchable imo lol, but its honestly a series id never recommended. I wouldn't blame if you stopped making rider content until the next rider, that is as long as that series isnt complete dog water. Outsiders is pretty fun tho if you want to cover that instead lol.
You stopped watching it and then we got Geats which was good. You decided to watch it again and we got Gotchard which is bad. So clearly you should stop watching it so Gavv can be good. Seriously though, just stop watching it. If it's that's agonising to watch just stop. I've watched/read so many series and ended up dropping it because i lost interest. and it felt so much better to do that than when i made myself finish a series just because i was so far in or it was almost over.
Imo, Ikki from Revice, Godai from Kuuga and Eiji from OOO are great examples of how to write a good optimistic character...while Hotaro is the opposite.
@HandOn145 The difference between Fourze and Gotchard is that Fourze explore meaning of relationships and friendships between people so feels more tangible while is Gotchard is very pokemon-ish about it.
Kamen Rider is not the problem, Gotchard is
It's like I said last time, I'm only watching this show because of Madjine and Valvarad. Fuck Houtaro!!!
@@adamwatkinsa.k.aadamw5956 Even then, it's more so for Valvarad than Majade that I watch. She has the better suit but the character still isn't good.
Oh yeah, even compared to something like Saber, Gotchard has been the most boring rider-rider series I've ever seen.
It has been made all the worse by how utterly directionless the show is.
Well if you don’t like something so just STOP watching it….. pretty easy to do! And doesn’t even have to post about it👀
@@jjjmadness8306Dude Geats wasn’t great either😂
I think for now, you should just stop forcing yourself to make rider content that you dont enjoy making. I would still love to see you cover like the news and your opinions on the ongoings of the series or just your opinions on rider stuff in general like the rankings but as far as covering the show especially gotchard i dont think you should hold yourself on watching or covering something you dont enjoy atm and if later on you decided hey maybe this new rider show is your jam and you want to cover it then thats up to you and im sure most of your viewers would be ok with that.

Gotchard is not for everyone, but i think geats set a very high bar
Gaim sets a high bar too but drive wasnt crap. Gotchard could be next to zi-o and i would prefer zio over gotchard
I've been in the same boat. Saber I dropped off, got as far as Dragonic knight. Never even try to watch Gotchard. These shit seasons are kind of nice though since it doesn't mean I have to deal with the current season, so I can go back and watch the older ones. I watched Blade back in March-April because of that, and a damn good season that was.
Dude Saber is better made than Geats!
Remember that their target audiences are from 4-12, so if you sometimes feel that the story is not deep enough for you, don't feel bad or complain. The main objective of Toei is to sell toys and merch for these series.
Ah the "It's for kids so it's fine to not put effort into it" defense. Back in the day kids show has depth because its written by ADULT to teach kids moral lesson, by I guess by today standard for kids mean you don't have to put as much effort into your work eh, maybe I should tell people to feed their baby raw material than cooked food because they're kids, why put the effort into making good food they don't know what delicious food taste anyway.
Remember when this guy did toy reviews? Yeah me too
Drop off and jump on when the next season starts.
I stopped at around ep8, went back, and only got at 12, then havent watched again since. Your point that this series has ticked all the things to hate on a rider show is so spot on lol.
Hotarou is genuinely disingenuous and wrecks the whole experience, i gotta agree, that may be the root of why i cant invest myself watching.
Gotchard biggest problem is that is very toy focus in very agressive and your face way.
If you're not feeling it, you're not feeling it. Might as well take a break and go casual until/if that feeling comes back for you
I think you should go rewatch a series that you love, if these past few Reiwa seasons have been wearing you down. Personally, I haven't loved any since Build and haven't watched weekly since Zero-One, but taking a step back helps.
Stop Gotchard and wait until Gavv. Don’t let a bad series ruin your enjoyment of Rider.
I love Kamen Rider so much!!! I hope we get another adaptation of Power Rider or Masked Rider
The good thing about Kamen Rider is each season is standalone. You can just drop in and out of any season without missing out too much.
Say, you drop out of Gotchard (I don't blame you), you can just stop watching or keep up on any older Rider series until you see if any of the upcoming one interests you.
Any newcomer might be fine with Gotchard but as a fan of the franchise since the Heisei era, I just can't stand the show. It has cool suits (except the belts), nice songs but the story and characters are just so bland. The gimmick is an IRL gacha. And don't get me start on the Legend Rider stuff. What's the point of Legend? What's the occasion behind his creation? Kamen Rider just had its 50th anniversary a couple of years ago, Decade and Zi-O are having their 15th and 5th anniversary respectively but Toei ain't celebrating (plus Decade's dead). Adding the fact that his toys are normal DX, he's just made for that Legend Rider cash grab and him appearing in the main series feels like a distraction. The only good thing about it is they got Masahiro Inoue back as Decade for the Legend special, albeit only a recorded line, no longer making Zi-O vs Decade his last appearance. Good because seriously, the two Zi-O and Decade specials are awful. At least Legend is entertaining until he makes the word Gorgeous annoying to listen to.

Organize a communal rewatch where everyone watches an older series once acweek
I found myself a pattern of liking one rider series and the next series skipping it then liking the one after that i enjoyed geats and im skipping gotchard so hopefully this coming series is good
Hat. 😆 🤣
Revice started strong to me, hooked me in after not watching Saber. But Revice kinda dropped the ball on their premise, not pursuing the personal demons concept very much.
Geats is legitimately awesome, but it feels like a Rider show from the W to Gaim era. The show wasn't bogged down by too many forms and the characters were well written! I think it'll stand out as gem for this first Reiwa era overall.
I missed Gotchard's premiere because I was still halfway through Geats, but honestly glad I missed it. It doesn't seem like the show for me anyway. Is there an actual purpose to the legend rider aspect in it...? Are there cameos or is it just lifeless suits returning to fill out the show? That's would be the only stuff I'd want to watch.
Just drop Gotchard and pray Gavv is decent.
No you shouldn't I mean it's in your name
have you watched gogov and timeranger yet ?
Gotchard has mostly just been a big blur to me so far and it does feel draining. Luckily we’re not too far until the end so it might be worth just taking a break and see if Gavv grabs your attention when it comes out. I’m not expecting it to be incredible right away but hopefully it will at least be more entertaining. In the meantime I’m just going through previous rider shows I haven’t seen yet and having a much better time.
Drop gotchard
Come back for gavv
Considering how you handled Saber maybe it's best to not make coverage of a rider show weekly like you are with Sentai. Since you seem to have a much better time with Rider when you binge it as opposed to doing it weekly. Maybe come back to Gotchard once the show is over and you can binge the rest afterwards. And then maybe don't do any Gavv show coverage until after the show is complete. I know that means you won't be talking about the new rider for a year but if that'll at least you to enjoy rider a bit more than maybe try that.
Never missed a single heisei/reiwa season, be it good or bad. I just treat it as a tradition at this point, watching it weekly. I can't fathom missing a bad season and then have to bingewatch it somewhere down the line.
Me to I learned my lesson with build
given the title of course not but do what you want with the series if you want to continue want to watch it or not for me i enjoyed both Heisei phases and Reiwa i enjoyed Agito, Geats Saber and Zi-O i enjoy the forms used by using the trinkets of Books Watches Buckles to cards and any other trinkets used so i enjoy good shows like that and I don’t mind cameo’s of other riders in other rider series as basically crossover episodes with them since Zi-O had quite most of past riders making a debut in that show as episodes in the series to the mini series of Zi-O series like the Shinobi series with three or four episodes I wish for them to do a full Shinobi series for a show and show those other four ninja riders that were in the silhouettes and use a different rider system for it instead of the Ziku-Driver system so both Kiva and Zi-O are my most favorable shows if the new one called Gavv turns out to be good or not when it comes
Do you Dosm! Been watching your toku/ranger content before RRR days. What makes me stick with ya is the humour and levity of your character.
One of the things I like about Gotchard is the gimmick. Yeah it might be a cash grab with all of the collectable cards, in booster packs no less. But, for me at least, it has been fun collecting all of the different cards with unique designs (One of my personal favourites is Daiohni).
if your not down for covering actual gotachard stuff i get it, maybe wait and see what gavv is going to be doing before seeinf if not coving at all aside from maybe key reveals, EF even if not doing gotachard ep reviews ect maybe jsut do the scans/toy reaveals
I’d say just to stop watching. You clearly don’t enjoy it and like just come back to it once you get that rider kick again. Cuz doesn’t matter if the show is good or bad, if you aren’t feeling it, you may not be enjoying it as much as when you are in the mood to watch it. And if you fall out of rider, that’s perfectly fine. Seemingly, it’s just not for you anymore and there’s nothing wrong with ditching it and finding something you actually enjoy watching.
Hey if you want to watch a toku series that isn't camp, maybe check out Garo and it's sequels, Garo Makai and Garo Makai Senki. I wouldnt mind a review of those series'.
I feel like I should stop watching Kamen rider my family makes fun of me and my mom got mad at me for wearing for my den-o belt saying to stop wearing that cuz she is embarrassed by what my aunt would say 😞
I am fine but... what is the deal with Legend? Oh yeah, I ditched Saber. Not going to join in again. Geats was AWESOME! Going through Revice. It is good. My bad on ditching due to pink. Sentai however.... It got to a slow run on Zenkaiger, KingOhger and Kiramager. Donbrothers.... got disappointed. Finished it for the wrong reasons apparently. At least fan service in Kingohger / Kyoryuger.
Legend is here to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Kamen rider.
Despite all the hate Gotchard gets, it has the 2nd best toy sales in the first quarter of release of All Reiwa era Kamen Rider series. Only Zero-one did better.
You see the advertisement, shit is everywhere. Gotchard selling cards that kids can buy. That is a match made in heaven
I really hope for a new rider show for kamen rider gavv
Yes. And never come back.
Actually comeback when you find a series you like.
Hey Man Don't Say That
Only seen gotchard becuase i got interested in kamen rider legend, which i find is my rider of this year.
I had the same exact thing happen to me. Fell off at Saber, but later binged it and enjoyed it. Revice was okay, Geats was great but dragged a bit towards the middle-end. Gotchard is Gotchard.
Well in my opinion I'm not really watching it I'm just trying to see what their gonna do with the final form of gotchard there's lots of theories going on about it but like I'm not really watching it but I wanna see what their gonna try to do with it
I feel the same actually. Honestly Gotchard so far has been pretty mediocre. Just stop watching Gotchard. I don't think it'll get any better
With the way it's making you feel I say you either need to drop it or take a good break.
Great video and keep on watching kamen rider as they are all good in each of there was dosm rider.
I'd say just watch them on your own, if you like them, continue watching and make a video when something noteworthy or something happens you want to talk about, or if it gets boring, just drop the show. I've skipped Gotchard and Saber partway in as well, though I might have gotten busy with life too
Just have faith bro
Ok this is kinda related to the topic but does everyone not thing Jungle Fury isn’t one of the best seasons of all time? It’s always been my Number 1 and I just assumed everyone agree. But I’ve been seeing more hate for it recently.
I love kamen rider shows but still I love kamen rider gotchard because kamen legend came into kamen rider gotchard world by fighting the evil riders from another world I also love kamen rider gotchard song just like kamen rider legend song it’s amazing I wish gotchard could use the other riders cards by using that forbidden spell on his steamliner card
Houtaro be like - am i that bad 😢😥?
Me: yes because you are an annoying loudmouth
Yes. Yes he is.
Geats streaming now still waiting on more sentai
I have been watching Gotchard, but mostly as camp. There are good characters (The Hades Sisters, the wonder twins, and Tuxedo Minato) but Houtarou sinks every scene that he is in. Rinne is okay but nothing to get excited about. The main camp element is how often the show rips off Pokemon, Yugioh, Sailor Moon, and Digimon. If you are not enjoying the series then don't cover it. Toei is not paying you!
I watched only legend arcs, including legend in gotchard ep, except for other 2 gotchard ep
Ehhh i dont the name for kamen rider gavv
I havent seen gotchard, but id say just stop watching it. When its finished then you can go back and binge it and see if it goes any better, the week to week format can be brutal and make things you dislike even worse.
Do what makes you happy, we will watch regardless
Yes
I'm all going to say is don't knock on the people who do like it
I get why people don't like Gotchard. But it ain't that horrible as people say.
Do what you want
Gotchard is getting good now. If you don't like it, just drop it.
Man. Gotchard has been so bad for me. I stopped at episode 7, then binged to episode 33 a week ago, and I did not get any better for me. Boring af.
I started watching Geats again on Tubi
Let’s be real here! Geats fell so off after 20s eps
@GGX120 Geats is not perfect, but at least it is enjoyable, and the characters are interesting. For me, Gotchard only had like 3 good episodes, all about Valvarad.
Very cool video mister dosmrider
If you're not enjoying watching something, you should just stop otherwise you'll resent it. Anytime i feel like I'm watching a show because i have to, rather than i want to, i completely stop watching
After the bar Geats set, Gotchard kinda weak...Saber is the worse reiwa rider show. Also, Legend was not necessary, should had just brought back decade or zio.
Yo idk that your opinion bro but Gotchard that's like my favorite show of the year something to look forward to mane.
Just stop watching Gotchard and focus on Boonboomger. Wait till the next Rider series because the finale is not going to be great.
I'd say that you do you, if yoy don't like Gotchard that's more than fine but don't force yourself do a video about it. Is no fun to do something that you feel obligated to do. Take a break from the shoe ubtil the new one comes around. I may be a fan of this season, but I understand that is not for everyone nor that it is a great one in particular.
Gotchard is my Guilty Pleasure
If you don’t enjoy Kamen Rider, then I’d suggest don’t make content for it, I would say the same with just Toku in general. You should be able to watch and make the content you enjoy. I’ve kinda fell off rider after saber, the forms and gimmicks really got ridiculous during that time for me. Sentai has been okay for me, but I’ve mostly been watching older seasons I haven’t seen before. But Kamen Rider Legend and the avatar changes from Donbrothers are the dumbest thing ever, the anniversary stuff is getting annoying. When Decade and Gokaiger did it, it was something all new for those respective series, but now they do it every damn year it seems! As for rider content going forward, if you wanted to finish Gotchard, you could review it in batches, or just review the lead up and finale. Or you could possibly do a rewatch of an older series, not just rider, but any show (Toku or non-Toku for that matter) and give your thoughts on each episode, or again, in do that in batches. There are many things you can do, but it all boils down to whether or not you enjoy doing it. If you don’t like making rider related content at all, then I would say just stop doing it and make something that you actually like.
You don't have to force yourself to watch. I'd suggest you just stop and do reviews for when Gavv comes out.
Me personally I've stopped a long time ago and everytime I try to keep up, it justs bores me and I stop. It basically does the opposite of what BoonBoomger does for me, which is instantly bringing up my mood after watching an episode.
Honestly, I don't blame you.
The Reiwa Rider era has been a mixed bag, but Gotchard has been by far the worst.
Just from the trailers alone, this series made a very poor impression by being very generic, but once you start watching the show, you quickly realize that Gotchard is just a chord.
This show expects you to care about Chemies, but it gives no reason to care about them other than "they're cute." It provides so few reasons to collect them, which is ironic since the Chemies are the most blatant cash grab I've ever seen.
Hotaro is by far the worst rider protagonist I've seen in a while, made all the worse by how much the show tries to say, "Yes, he is worthy of the title Kamen Rider. He is the hero we need." when hardly done anything to earn it, he only got the belt because some old man he didn't know told him so.
Oh, sure. In the first episode, they try to convince you that Hotaro is worthy by saving Raine's life from the Steam party.
The problem was already revealed early on that Steam meant no harm and wasn't trying to kill anyone, so Hotaro actions were just pointless, yet the show insists, "Yep, Kamen rider!" and does this over and over again.
It gets so bad that they had to rip off a scene from Kamen Rider W's movie.
They blatantly rip off the scene when everyone cheers for W to win against Eternal before he destroys Fuuto.
But it doesn't work in this context because, in Gotchard, everyone's memory is always erased by alchemists whenever they see something involving alchemy, Chemies, and including Gotchard.
This moment angers me because of how blatant it is trying to use member berries to hype up their own show while failing to understand what made those moments work in the first place.
don’t blame the show blame the Director he doesn’t know how to draw story
I kind of get what you're saying. A few years ago I stopped watching KR entitely after Gaim ended, then Drive didn't hook me up and just skipped over Ghost, but then Ex-Aid was announced and when i learned it was videogame themed it peeked my interest, but then the suits were revealed and that threw me off. So i decided to start watching it, hoping the designs would eventually grow on me, but after about 10 episodes I said nope, can't stand the suits so I dropped it entirely and as the series went on i saw that the suits got progressively more ridiculous. Then stopped watching KR completely until 2022, i started Zero-One and loved it, kinda reignited the spark of KR for me, ad now i'm currently watching Build and i love it even more! Sorry about that rant, in the end i could just tell you to make content about the things you like, you'll enjoy it and in turn, we'll enjoy it even more!
I’d say do it more casually as even I haven’t checked out Gotchard in a while. I love Kamen Rider but Gotchard is not a good series and not watching it is perfectly fine as it speaks to the quality of it. Frankly I just want to see you having fun with videos and covering what you want to.
Also I find it funny how when both Rider and Sentai stray from their usual formulas but keep enough to be recognized, they actually do pretty good and are great series mostly. But when Rider goes back to basics it usually doesn’t work out whether it be to casting, writing, direction et cetera. Where as Sentai can use the back to basics stuff and do a pretty good series or two. This is just an observation I’ve had btw.
How can you say Gotchard isn’t a good series of you haven’t even watched it?
Gotchard is the Ghost of Reiwa
How about Try Ultraman series
Don't force yourself to cover Gotchard because we don't like him either 😂😂. Wait until we get more news about Gavv and see how you like the next series.
I love kamen rider legend legendary riders forms
I like Gotchard. It's not for everyone. So do you.
Honestly, you should just just quit while you're ahead. Like you saId; this show to you is an amalgam of all the Toku tropes you hate in the worst possibile form. Not to mention, there's only so many ways you can say "Shut up Hotaro" until even that runs it's course.
Even after the high that was Geats, Gotchard was so bad they needed to turn it into an anniversary season to save kamen rider even tho they already made one 2 seasons ago
That’s literally not what happened
hell no ! start gavv info
Gotchard is garbage. Check back in next show.
If it’s the same, rinse and repeat. Rider’s been on autopilot for some time now.
Touma with an H 😅
What about kamen rider outsiders
The main thing that I don’t like about Gotchard is Hotaro’s relationship with Hopper one and steam liner, and how hopper one is basically reminding me of what I didn’t like, and why I couldn’t get into Pokémon. I think Hopper and Pikachu are voiced by the same person, possibly. That led to my dislike of Horo as a character. Steam liner should have been the main Chemy that he was friends with. Maybe that’s just my train bias talking, but I really think the show would’ve went better.
I stopped watching Gotchard; show was TERRIBLE, but the whole Daybreak Arc AT FIRST seemed interesting.....but after seeing them now going into Legend Rider stuff, seems they've run outta ideas. BLEH.
But no, don't completely give up on Kamen Rider; it's still overall good, and a good Series is bound to come up. Just look at Geats.
I think you do it this way, stop watching Gotchard, try Gavv.
If you like Gavv, continue, if it's bad, stop watching it too.
As an former Precure fan, I used that formula and honestly I just dropped to watch Wonderful since season is far away from its essence so much that it doesn't feelt like a "Precure" season.
If you don't like something you don't have to watch or comment. For example, Azenzone was normally a Precure reviewer, but he didn't like Wonderful Precure and stopped making long review videos about it, now reviewing Boonboomger instead.
Currently I'm enjoying Boonboomger (only series in this year I enjoyed) and waiting for next Kamen Rider and Precure seasons.
It is very concerning to me, Dosm of how your current outlook of the tokusatsu shows you watch are these products of entertainment when anything it’s a misunderstood art piece. It upsets me to know how the collective fandom hates the show’s existence like their failure of a son. But in this case you have expressed a multitude of times of frustration of only how it fails, but never how it succeeds. However this mentality comes at a cost of ignoring the artist and visionaries trying their best to create a valid Rider show. I suggest covering the future rider relates topics with a friend so at least balance out the reviews to at least try and get better at talking about the content without the constant sense of hatred of the art so your audience who watches for rider stuff isn’t deprived of your input. Thank you
don’t watch it if you ain’t feeling it
Stop watching it if you don’t like it and then watch gavv you could still cover new forms stuff just don’t watch it
I would continue with Gotchard but talk about it less. I think you'll really regret it if you don't finish it. Because you want it to reference others Kamen Rider in the future.
You can keep the previews going if anything actually catches your interest rather than just be interesting to those people who like Gotchard, then you can talk about it. Maybe if there's a new Rider or a new final form.
Don't waste time covering every new form from Gotchard.
If it makes you happy you could even do a rant video where you just shit on the show.
I beg you slow it down to a crawl in hopes of being able to regularly cover the next Rider.
I watch all since start of reiwa but Saber Is so boring And the plot They just simping for the girl
Gotchard as a series is really bad, like it makes ghost and saber watchable imo lol, but its honestly a series id never recommended. I wouldn't blame if you stopped making rider content until the next rider, that is as long as that series isnt complete dog water. Outsiders is pretty fun tho if you want to cover that instead lol.
You stopped watching it and then we got Geats which was good. You decided to watch it again and we got Gotchard which is bad. So clearly you should stop watching it so Gavv can be good.
Seriously though, just stop watching it. If it's that's agonising to watch just stop. I've watched/read so many series and ended up dropping it because i lost interest. and it felt so much better to do that than when i made myself finish a series just because i was so far in or it was almost over.
I personally have no interest in any Kamen Rider series
Same here
Me too
I don’t either. I prefer Super Sentai
@@AkaEagle1975 Same here
Lemme guess power copier fan?
Yes, because live-action was too sick and icky
Yes
