Picking up from the last couple of posts in the previous thread, do watch Kamen Rider OOO. Just keep in mind that it follows a monster-of-the-two-weeks story format and quite a bit of that is filler. Also, avoid the tenth anniversary movie. Much like Zero-One's 01thers films, it's not great and will likely induce anger.
Honestly, I'd suggest watching Double, OOO and Fourze in that order. They're all good shows and their crossover films with each other are canon for the most part and are brought up in the currently running show at the time of the film's airing (outside of OOO's part in the Double/OOO film). And tying into this thread, it's a good idea to watch Double's series at least since the upcoming anime Fuuto Detectives takes place after it.

Sentai filmworks has licensed the Revue Starlight movie and is having a very limited theatrical run in the US!

Don't we have a tokusatsu thread?
I stand by this position.
It's for the best. You might learn some of your students have Bad Anime Tastes and then you can never look at them the same. Or worse, they're shippers
But I think the thing that irritated me the most was the pronunciation mangling of non-Japanese words. Especially names. Like insisted on pronouncing their own as "ki-mu-ba-a-ri," which is not only godawful romanization, but just fucking painful in all ways. Every single fucking syllable individually and deliberately pronounced.
Honestly that was some damn good pronunciation and I could easily believe he's a fluent speaker mixing the languages for shits and giggles. Heard enough vtuber English lessons to get a handle on what someone unfamiliar with the language sounds like even if they have the words.
That'll do it!
The hotswapping of languages is one reason I really enjoy the vtuber Pikamee who'll flip back and forth as the mood fits her. Her English still has the Japanese accent but that just lends to the charm when she's screeching FAMILY FRIENDLY in between very English curse words
Decade is a ridiculous show with a plot that makes no sense, but I still loved it.
Also second OOO. Is a little big on the filler on the second half, but the endgame fully compensates for it and then some.
Double is a great show. I couldn't get pass Akiko being incredibly fucking annoying, but that's a me thing. Is a shame, but is what it is.
Fouze is also great, I enjoyed it from start to finish.
On Inoue, the deal is that he had been writing Toku for a long, long time and it became obvious with the issues with Faiz, Blade and Kabuto that he just lost the plot. (Specially with the Faiz novel that we do not speak about) Though the Jetman episode of Gokaiger (Super Sentai aniversary show where they fixed a lot of Decade's mistakes) that he wrote was good.
Remaining shows of that time, Kiva has, uh, some issues, but is mostly decent. Den-O is tiring if you don't like Japanese comedy and given that it had suit characters as protagonists, it was cheaper and easier to hire the VAs for those suit characters AND it sold a lot of merch. Result: There were what, NINE Den-O movies or so? Like, fuck, it took A LOT for Toei to stop doing Den-O movies.
People whine about the toys being louder and noiser each time, but kids fucking love that shit, every show that had toys that scream a lot sold merch like hotcakes, so there's more of them.
Another very good Kamen Rider, probably the best of the Heisei era is Gaim, it was written by Urobuchi (yes, that Urobuchi), so you know already what he does, he explained how writing a Toku show works. Since merch takes months of planning, and they want to release the merch on stores WITH the episode is featured on, what Toei does is handing the entire planned toy catalog to the writer, with the planned release dates and say "Write a story from that". Which is why every Rider show has the first upgrade on around episode 20 and the final form at episode 30 or more.
Finally, Wizard is...there.
this is my favorite, and also a fun Sega CD game. The theme music is incredible, too.
Today's chapter, like most chapters, was pretty great. This one was focused on the GCPD's first meetings with all the various Robins (including Stephanie as a Robin, as she should be).
Yes, we do.
It does seem that Inoue does better with Super Sentai then with Kamen Rider. Right now he's currently writing Avataro Sentai Donbrothers which like Gaim has some darker elements to it despite the visual goofiness of it. Like the fact that ANYONE can turn into a monster-of-the-week and if defeated by anyone other then the Donbrothers, they're permanently dead. Also...
Let's Play Final Fantasy 'II' (Ch10 - 5/17/10)
Not that I mind, but there's still a webcomic thread in this very board.
"Who?"
My bigger concern would be deciding on anime to show that would be appropriate within an official school setting.
And I simply do not want to cross-reference any prospective anime to see if they have rampant T&A, nudity, profanity, sexual assault, or showcase egregious violence.
Cause trust me, "The Japanese just have different cultural standards than us!" is not going to fly during a sit-down with an admin.
Having to fight against the teenager impulse to find the edgiest/most filled with T&A anime that they can find has some serious "stopping the ocean with your hands" energy. "But everybody else is watching Shield Hero!". Brrr.
All true, but if I make serious posts at this point people might think there's something wrong with me. More than the usual anyway.
That's a thing

Not sure if it's just me being picky, but I can't imagine it got drawn that way accidentally, either.
What's a webcomic?
Serious answer: I 100% did forget we had a webcomic thread. Though oddly my brain still categorizes webcomics and webtoons differently. Probably because I first encountered webtoons as the South Korean comics.
This is great!
It is decided! Kamen Rider ZO, I choose you! (To be my first Kamen Rider show.)
I've been reading it after seeing it recommended here and it is a wonderful and wholesome comic.
