Gaim is my personal favorite Rider show. Almost every major character gets an arc of some kind and is given a meaningful ending. Planning your show out rather than completely winging it, what a concept! Gaim also benefits from the immense talent of all the cast, crew, and music contributors. Gaku Sano, Mahiro Takasuhi, Yuki Kubota, Minami Tsukui, and all the rest of the cast turned in great performances which really help to sell the characters and make the drama believable. Gaim’s original suits are all spectacular, and some of the kitbashes are good too! And the soundtrack… man, other than Ghost and maybe Ex-Aid I don’t think there’s been as strong of an OST for a series as Gaim. Considering how good KR ost’s are, that’s no small compliment! Not to mention how catchy and energetic the insert songs are. Simply put, Gaim’s soundtrack truly rocks. Kamen Rider Gaim has everything I love in Kamen Rider in one package. Whacky hijinks and bold aesthetics blended with mature themes and good storytelling. Exciting action paired with questionable CGI and a rocking soundtrack. And of course, a hero who proudly lives up to the Kamen Rider legacy and fights for good, no matter how much self sacrifice they must endure. Until another show rises to the challenge, Gaim will stand as my favorite KR season.

The rivaling philosophy of Kouta and Kaito was probably one of my personal biggest draw to Gaim and also the biggest irony in them. Kaito embraces a "only the strong survive" idea while Kouta wears the "everyone is worth saving and has value" idea. YET THEY'RE BOTH MASSIVE HYPOCRITS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT. Kaito, despite believing in strength was responsible for brining the beat riders together and works to lift them up (examples being how he told Mai to dance because that's her strength and how he gave Zack a driver) while Kouta despite being "power of friendship" rarely rallied together people and even seem to actively focus on becoming strong himself rather than help others become stronger, leaving it to them to figure it out themselves. The start of "Kouta risking it all for friends" and "Kaito the ruling solo" takes such a turn when they both actively suck at pursing what they want to do. And we see this repeatedly, Kaito fights amazing with others, Kouta works extremely well solo and this dycodemy of their actual skills and desires is what I think made the show so good.
@bigchungus6827
29 күн бұрын
"Everyone is worth saving and has value" isn't a contradictory idea with Kouta going on his path alone, though. He went on his path alone because he wanted to endanger as few people as possible by keeping them out of his struggles. Whether that's the best way of keeping people safe is very debatable, but those aren't contradictory ideas. Kouta risking and sacrificing all of himself, down to his own humanity, to save others and allow them to continue living without having to make that sacrifice is a core part of his character.

I think Gaim has Armored Rider instead of Kamen Rider is because the riders aren't really disguised so everyone knows who's behind the suits, also pair that with the idea that it's modern day warring nations depiction. Prior riders are a bit more obscured from the public so they're more "masked."

I wasn't saying all, but most others. Someone is called a masked vigilante, hero, or rider, because no one knows who they are yet or no one has publicly revealed the identity behind the mask. Most of the Armored Riders were publicly revealed and made their allegiances known. Gaim is Kouta, Baron is Kaito and the populus knows this. The public doesn't know who's behind the masks of Kuuga, Agito, Ryuki, Faiz, Blade, Kabuto, Den-O, Kiva, W, OOO, Fourze, or Wizard. Some of them may be loose with their identity, but no media is brought to them to be a social icon in their respective stories. Kuuga got a lot of attention, but Yusuke never was caught by cameras while transforming, only when he was in his rider form.

Both sides would fight with a big smile beneath their helmets, having fun with each other. In the last minutes, Gaim vs Ichigo would end in a draw and both of them LAUGHED heartily, followed by the other Riders.

Speaking as an Aussie about how shafted Rider gets in the US by Toei - it's even worse here in Oceania (Aus, NZ, Polynesia) & UK/EU as if we want to watch the few legal subs of the show, we have to import DVD's/BD's from the US (usually Shout!Factory via Amazon) and deal with region lockout BS (thankfully programs like VLC ignore region encoding of DVD/BD, but those of us that use a games console like PS4, PS5, XB1 or XS for our media; we have to rip the discs to .mp4 files on a USB stick in order to watch the media we legally purchased), or use a VPN to watch the streaming options (again; Shout!Factory), and same goes for wanting legit Sentai. If people think the US is a "tiny" market for Rider, then the rest of the Commonwealth Nations aside from Canada (who is covered by Shout!Factory) is stiff outta luck with our even smaller individual populations proportionally to the US (especially Australia - roughly the same amount of landmass as the Lower 48 of the US, but not even 1/6th the population due to how relatively little inhabitable-to-Western-sense land we have that isn't already taken up by agriculture or other industries).

Gaim is one of my favorite seasons, and I basically knew it would be even before watching it as I learned more about it while running through earlier Rider seasons. It's one of the only seasons I skipped ahead to watch out of order, and adored almost every second of…save maybe the random Kikaider intrusion. Gaim, I feel, is what Classic Heisei seasons should have been like; in my book, they tried, but Gaim succeeded. In addition to the suits and music and story and pacing, one of the things I like the most is that, while there are many, many enemies and opponents throughout the story, there are very few actual villains (ignoring those of one-off side material that needed a quick resolution), allowing those with incongruent ideas in the short-term to put that aside and work together for the long-term to stop the true threats at play. It's almost like some people in the world recently who I won't name need to understand that concept a bit better. Also, hot take, but Toki no Hana is one of my favorites among the soundtrack (well, they're basically all my favorites, but still).

Gaim is very strange to me I do think its a fantastic show, but its just some of the forced movie tie ins shouldve been used for character moments instead. Like mai seemed so out of place for most of the series and it just felt like her being tacked on, when she just didnt belong there. I feel like if they developed kouta's and kaito's rivalry as sortve a tragic friendship, the ending wouldve hit a lot harder. Cause one main thought kept enetering my mind after I finished the series, was that the entire half of the second series was caused by micchy being a total simp. So that just put such a sour mood on it to me. Gaim just either needed to be a tale on how power is attained and the sacrifices you will have to make along that road, or it shouldve been a love triangle story with, Kouta's willingness to save everyone not both. Also I can not hear Kouta's and Kaito's final battle without hearing MGR it has to be this way anymore.

I still like the theory, because as flamboyant and ridiculous as he is, its hard to deny that Oren is a complete badass.

As for my favorite rider in this season I have to agree that zack is my favorite he turns into the big brother character after kaito passes the torch in a way. Seeing that growth is what makes kamen rider worth watching

Same, Dragon Knight might have been really cringe but it did an amazing job introducing many in Canada and North America to Kamen Rider. I am glad 4kids made it and tried to push it like Saban pushed Power Rangers.

Gridon aka Ornac is my FAVORITE character in Kamen Rider and my favorite rider ever. He started from a measly tactician to becoming a top chef celebrity. Started from the bottom and now he’s at the top. Also NEVER GIVE UP!

I don't know if everyone know this but Gaim looks actually based on a real samurai Masamune Date. also his form based on japan old feudal lord rank, from basic samurai, jimber is daimyo, kachidoki is shogun, kiwami is well dai-shogun or emperor

I love the fact that Torkia is named after my country obviously but located in Central Asia/Kazakhstan, which is our ancestral home and Kazakhs are also our kin, although I have no idea why they did this lmao.

I almost drew blood reviewing Figuarts Bravo due to the fact that Japan don't rubberize their toy spikes as often as America does. Maybe if Gaim has a US adaptation, that wouldn't have been a problem.

With him talking about distribution, I'm honestly surprised a company like netflix or amazon has struck deal for distribution for the franchise (mainly amazon considering amazons is on the platform and that Black remake are going to be on there as well)

Power isn't inherently good or evil, it's how you use it that matters. And no, that's not a Jedi Academy reference, though I am not surprised I'm not the first to say something like that.

Everything about Gaim is great…..except for all the forced movie and special ads. The fact that Gaim is so popular despite all those ADs weighing it down is a testament to how good the series’s writing is.

While I do get frustrated with the limited use of some forms in series, I think Gaim handled it the best. He is still using Pine and Ichigo late into the series. Gaim manages not to power creep too much. The last season to do it well, though.

You bring up the black and black rx similarities but something that I’ve noticed is but kouta’s actor feels just as passionate as tetsuo kurata. Something about his movements, actions, his own stunts, and how powerful his presence is on screen was really obvious to me. You really feel tetsuo’s emotions and intensity in everything he does, and the same with Sano’s. I fell in love with kouta because I fell in love with Kotaro.

you know how i found kamen rider was thanks to mask rider dragon knight, which made me remember masked rider. On top of that I'm a huge gackt fan so when i saw his decade music i had to go look up decade which is how I'm now a avid kamen rider watcher. When it comes to kamen rider gaim is my standard if kamen rider show cant be near the level gaim i kinda just wave it off. Plus it made me love the weird theme seasons more.

I can totally understand the Ryuki comparisons, given the themes of fate...but it's almost disingenuous to say it's just another attempt at it, when Gaim does it SO much better. It's arguably the most complex story out of any Kamen Rider season and still have it all still make sense throughout its narrative. It has so many characters to focus on, and yet they all have believable and sympathetic motivations throughout it all. Unlike Ryuki, you can feel invested in EVERYONE important to the story. I honestly couldn't recommend Gaim enough.

For a character who commited such horrible acts, the way Gen Urobutchi and Kamen Rider Gaim portrays Takatora with a firm passion of making up for it all makes the seires far more compelling.

Regarding the statements about airing in foreign markets, I can attest to at least some tokusatsu airing in Hawaii. My dad lived there as a kid and he remembers watching shows like UltraSeven because they were broadcast there or they were able to get the signal from japan maybe. Either way, at least some of the U.S. got to see tokusatsu
