      That wasn't the reboot. Toei was forced to remove the claws and fire because of complaining parents and when Decade brought back the Hibiki universe the Oni especially Hibiki became capable of using flames and claws again. As both Alt Hibiki and Tsukasa used both abilities in the show.

Since it was worded in a way that it allowed the authorities to arrest and prosecute anyone who drew underage girls claiming it as pedophilia and then got the UN to pass a similar resolution. Which is expected to be ignored in Japan and deemed inconstitutional in the US. But in places like EU where draconian media laws are the norm its believed that the UN will enforce it.

  • @tenshirider
    @tenshirider 5 ปีที่แล้ว +68

    Hibiki was honestly one of the Kamen Rider shows I wasn't sure to take up because of the suit design. I didn't feel anything for it so was planning on this being the last one I see before dipping into the Showa era.
    But then you mentioned something key: everyone got along. Tension is required in a story to push characters in either the direction of the plot or for their own goals. But as I watched how the atmosphere was in the few clips, and seeing the Oni smile together and such, that is something special.
    Seeing everyone get along feels...fluffy. I can't describe it beyond fluffy. Warm and cozy sure but it feels more than that. The idea of Asumu being anxious and nervous to do the right thing when he knows he should is something that feels more real. The shoplifting, getting up for a pregant lady. Seeing that hesitation and acknowldging it like the way he and Hibiki does.
    Because of those small points my interest in the first half of Hibiki skyrocketed.
    I'm always wondering how to write a mentor character like Hibiki. And now I can get my answer.
    Thank you again for doing Hibiki.
    (As much as I love Yuuto's actor Imma have to skip second half)
    Looking forward to Kabuto!

      Never judge a rider series by the suit. Often times the suit's aesthetic quality is the complete reverse of the quality of the series itself but that's really a judgement you have to come to on your own...

      Er not that I'm saying Hibiki's suit looks bad. At least not for what they were going for, though the Kurenai upgrade suit leaves a bit to be desired IMO, too much uninterrupted pure red which compared to the darker purple of the base form stands out too much...

    I'm so happy to find someone talking about Hibiki in a positive way. Especially if the person doing so likes Hibiki. Do you know if there's anything regarding how the story supposed to be before the retool? There had to be more than just Kiriya and Asumu becoming Oni.
    My first exposure to the Heisei Riders were actually through video games, aside from Kuuga and Agito who I watched when it aired in Indonesia. The music weapons were unique, and it was at the same time Guitar Hero debuted.
    Thanks to that and Todoroki, I became a music lover.
    The original theme music, Kagayaki, has even more extra variants, that makes a total of 10 minutes. I heard it in Nico Nico Douga.
    What I'm confused about the second opening was when they showed the 11 Oni Riders. Who are they and why didn't they appeared in the show?
    Thankfully, those 4 extra Oni got Super Imaginative Chogokin figures. The Kanto Elites, they're called. One has Wolverine claws and sousaphone shoulder cannon, another uses dual blades that combines into a double necked guitar.
    I love SIC forever because of that. I also remember photos of Akira's proper Oni form, which is just Ibuki but with silver parts and boobs, and a figure that's supposed to be Ibuki's mom, who's an active Oni.
    The two above are also SIC Exclusive figures. How fucking rad is that?
    Alas, we live in a timeline where Hibiki has gone through this nonsense.
    Again, thanks for making this video.

    I was so disappointed by the ending of Kamen Rider Hibiki that I wrote a fan fic continuation of the show and started with a different ending. (In the fan-fic, due to some plot device, Hitomi starts training to be an Oni and Akira becomes her mentor because Ibiki had to go away and Hibiki and Todoroki couldn't be good teachers to Hitomi because Hitomi is too cute for Hibiki to discipline and Todoroki is Hitomi's cousin.)

    Also, AFAIK, another reason for the drastic change in Hibiki is that the show was deemed "too scary" for kids; and if I were to go by my interpretation, which is horror-and-suspense movie levels of scary, I don't see that as being the case. Perhaps the only scary thing I can see is the fact that the first half is a show that makes sense, which scares off Shirakura since he loves treating his audience like idiots (which is also probably his definition of a "mature" show). :p
    Speaking of scary, there was another toku which WAS intended to be scary which premiered in the same year as Hibiki; and we know it as "Garo." Did they happen to mistake Hibiki for Garo? :P

    when this was locally dubbed in my country, hibiki did translate well. in an sense that it gave a feel that being a Rider (Oni in this case) doesnt mean you have to be facing monsters and evil organizations. i like hibiki cause it felt natural and it had depth (the first part and some minor parts on the second). which led me to think that a Kamen rider is all about the journey and perseverance they made. not the fancy song, dances and perks they get.

  • @ankhefenra
    @ankhefenra 5 ปีที่แล้ว +31

    At first I was really afraid to start Hibiki, because I'd heard so much bad stuff about the second half. I couldn't even enjoy the beginning at first, because I was dreading what was to come. But you know what? I quite liked the second half. It definitely wasn't on the same level as the beginning and Kiriya was annoying, but it wasn't as bad as people claim it to be. To be honest, I really liked the father arc and quite controversially I loved the ending where Asumu didn't become an oni. After all, he didn't want to in the first place and was only bullied into becoming Hibiki's disciple, so eventually he realized it wasn't his calling. Of course, if I had the option to choose between what was originally intended and what we have now, I'd choose the former, but the latter is not "the worst thing to exist" as some would like you to believe.
    I just hope that, if you're someone who hasn't yet watched Hibiki, you'll give it a chance. Don't just quit right before the change, because you've heard it's going to be bad. Try a few episodes after the change and if you don't like it, that's perfectly fine. But let it be your own opinion, don't quit because others told you to.

    I was postponing watching this video untill I've watched the show myself, and now here's a share of my thoughts about the show.
    I love Hibiki. It's now definately among my favorite seasons.
    The season is different and it is great.
    It felt very odd in the beginning, it seemed like nothing was happening, but I never felt bored, the show was very captivating and I just kept watching and watching.
    Having a regular boy being the main character and the main rider being somewhat of a secondary character is a very interesting concept.
    I don't mind the second part much, though it is indeed immideately feels drastically different.
    What really cemented Hibiki as something special in my mind is ending.
    Prior to watching this History video I missed that it mirrors an earlier scene from the first part, but nevertheless, at the time of watching, when I saw Asumu finally finding his way along with the realisation that "he always was Hibiki's disciple", the whole season rolled back on me and the overall theme of growth and finding yourself hit me like a train and left much greater, deeper and brighter impression than any cool costume or flashy screaming toy ever would.

    Yeah. Hibiki's first half is amazing. Hibiki's 2nd half is a struggle.
    The only slightly good thing about Kiriya is that his actor got to play a better role down the road.
    I'd say only watch the 2nd half if you're interested in Zanki or if you want to complete the story.
    I personally like to call Kiriya "Kusaka's Son" because Inoue.
    And truly this is the one time when "Onore Shirakura" isn't meant as some joke/meme but I actually kind of despise the man for the changes made to Hibiki.
    A lot of people say that they "hate" KR Wizard/Ghost. But, I have to wonder if those people have ever seen Hibiki's 2nd half. Ghost and Wizard at least kept their staff for the most part. Hibiki had an overhaul in the middle of the season.
    To end this, I guess I'll say that although the 2nd half might be really bad. The suits were still beautiful.

Honestly the second half was ruined for me almost single-handedly for what ends up happening to Akira.
    This was an amazing video, and if you were afraid it would feel too different or alienate your audience, don't be! After all... Didn't Hibiki feel different and alienate KR fans to begin with?

    I never knew about this season but the helmet designs are too cool!! I love the way the helmets have a Spider-Man 2099 styler/vibe to it. The lines are so sharp and aggressive looking on the masks! I like a lot of Kamen Rider masks especially Masked Rider’s big eyes proportioned like a humanoid grasshopper but aside from that one I really dislike when the mask has more circular eyes with a good example being Dragon Knight having the awesome metallic helmet with the slitted metal visor but for dragon knight the round red eyes make the mask look odd while the sidekick bat rider guy has no round eyes and looks badass

  • @layton1362
    @layton1362 5 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    28:20 Huh, interesting. That was generally my interpretation for Hibiki as a character somewhere around episode 12. In the first half, it is shown quite a few times that whenever someone gets confrontational with Hibiki he is quick to back down and doesn't defend his point. He always said that he was trained well, combining this you can gather that he is someone who only feels so confident because he trained so much, he has not a lot of self-esteem and trust in his own abilities, that also ties in with how he got Kurenai, he trained hard, he always trained hard. He is an older Asumu and that was actually something they did carry over to the second half of the show.
    And in all honesty, the second half had pretty much a lot of the same problems as the first, the first just hide it better. Even without the second half Hibiki was only a mediocre show for me and that comes from someone that prefers more character-driven stories than plot-driven stories and in my opinion, Faiz was already a better character-driven story than Hibiki and later seasons like Wizard or Drive as well because they have a better balance between character and plot. But that is just my opinion.

    @plasmaxander912 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm glad i finally found someone else who feels the same about Hibiki as i do, even despite it's second half falling off a little, i still absolutely LOVE everything about the series, especially how despite having a modern, contemperary setting it manages to make it feel like some sort of far-off fantasy land even though it's just regular nature a few kilometers outside of a major city, the antagonists are pretty wooden and one-note but the good part about that is it means the protagonists all get tons of character development, Asumu especially as the true main character, the slower pace of the series really makes it shine and i'd go as far as to call Hibiki my favourite piece of media period.

    I had just finished Hibiki a couple weeks ago so I finally gave this a watch, the problems with the second half and shift didnt stick out to me until you pointed them out. Regardless of how the second half went, I absolutely adored Hibiki start to finish and I didnt totally hate Kiriya??? I saw him as a push for Asumu to realize what he wanted to do in life. I kept getting vibes he would eventually be Hibiki's apprentice from the start and saw Kiriya as someone to make him actually push towards something he wants to achieve until he finally makes his decision that being an Oni wasnt for him. At the end of the day, I loved Hibiki and enjoyed it start to finish and I like how passionate you are for it, it really deserves its praise!

  • @loroleibusser5993
    @loroleibusser5993 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I really value hibiki's uniqueness, but the end not being by the original creator really makes me sad. I think the second half is good as a continuation of the first half (I like to call it Hibiki Season 2) but to me the ending feels unsatisfying, not because of the content of the ending, but how the ending comes after a section of the show that feels messier and less focused than what comes before and after it. The second half takes time to figure out how to properly emulate the first half, and by then there are only so many episodes left to fill out a satisfying ending.

    It is really interesting how the mood in the fanbase has changed since the mid-00's, and also a good example of the bandwaggon effect. I remember back in 2006, almost EVERYONE hated on the show based on the first two episodes, and for years you had multiple fans who said they hated the show because it was a "musical". Now many years after people have actually decided to sit down and watch the show and LOVE the first half. I am so happy that the show managed to age with more respect from the fans.

  • @Dtctr010
    @Dtctr010 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    i decided to watch hibiki and get my own perspective on it. The first half i cant say i was drawn in since i found myself asking: So why does any of this matter? I still appreciated the different take to things and how asumu and hibiki worked well together. It definitely felt like Asumu's story with hibiki inside it which could be why i wasnt as drawn in
    Im not gonna finish the 2nd half (stopped at 38). Kiriya is insufferable and is just too toxic to even watch. i know the end result of the show and seeing how it played out is not worth grinding through the rest of the episodes only to see Kiriya become an oni. Im glad i watched Den-O before this which didnt ruin Zeronos for me(hes so much better in that)

    I have to say, I do like this video quite a bit. But, I disagree a lot with your view on the second half. Asumu encountering his father, to me, was beautiful. For me, it meant a lot, my father was never there for me. As well as the Arc with Todoroki and Zanki, it felt great. Not to mention the great ending. Asumu never wanted to be an Oni, so guess what? He doesn't become one, because he realizes he needs to grow out of Hibiki's shadow.
    Ultimately I guess none of this matters. This show isn't aimed at adults, it's aimed at kids all the way to young adults, teens. Still, I do wish you gave the second half more credit, either way I do love your vids

    • @trsal5625
      @trsal5625 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I’m currently watching Hibiki (at ep 37 now) and I am loving the second half. That sub plot with Asumu looking for his father was great, Todoroki and his lady problems were funny but a good lesson on how work and personal lives do affect each other, and now this Akira and Shuki stuff is really interesting too. I’m curious to see what becomes of Asumu’s new friend (rival?) Maybe my enjoyment will wind down after these next 11 episodes but currently I think the second half gets a lot of unnecessary hate.

    Hibiki will always be one of my favorites even with its issues.
    The first half, as you said, is just a masterpiece. Everything about it; the music, the characters, everything was great.
    It set itself apart from the other Rider shows that were more flash, less substance. It was more grounded, in a less serious way than Kuuga. I hope this show gets a sequel with the issues properly addressed, especially the tons of plotholes in the second half.

    @thisguy1464 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I know you meant to be rhetorical, and that after a week you might not be paying much attention to the comments for this, I still had to make this.
    "WHAT MAKES A KAMEN RIDER SHOW... A KAMEN RIDER SHOW"
    -The main hero transforms using a belt
    -The main hero says "Henshin" when transforming
    -The transformation sequence takes place during the same scene and not a cutaway sequence
    -The main hero's mask resembles a bug to some degree
    -The main hero has a finishing-move that is kick-based
    -At least the main hero will have a signature motorcycle
    -The amount of death in the show reaches the level where a company like 4kids would have to dub over it as them "going away alive, but never seen from again"
    -The monster group of the show falls under at least one of the following types:
    1) While they have their own hierarchy, they are mostly independent of one another as they hide in their human forms.
    2) The monster force is still building up its number and require humans to either join or be sacrificed.
    3) While still a threat, they take a back seat to the main conflict being between "heroes" vs "heroes". (Also the reason they don't all attack at once as apposed to one villain group controlled by a definitive leader who only sends out one at a time)
    -The monster fought against doesn't automatically equal the monster coming back gigantic and is only on some occasions
    -When fighting a giant monster does it:
    1) Varey in size from slightly bigger to being a kaiju.
    2) Varey in shape from humanoid to something that requires CGI.
    3) Have to be fought without a combined mecha robot.
    -When watching a Super Sentai season with the theme being:
    1) An anniversary season where the hero is setup to be in the typical bad guy role and has the power to transform into forms from previous series, have to unlock a power that takes the form of something from the previous seasons, has a movie that brings back the original villain group of the franchise, and has renegade version of the main character with the ability to summon the extra heroes.
    2) Involves a special train with crew and master terminal, a person's imagination, some of the monsters joining the heroes, the tradeoff of forms, and an odd transition of physical age between child and young adult.
    3) Space-power harnessed in a decorative switch, a focus of the celestial constellations, and the already established group doesn't get the ball really rolling until the energetic, looking-for-friends leader joins.
    4) A police unit that's vehicle insert-item to transform, a prominent red car, and a "Lupin" variant user of the insert-items.
    .. and you think "Wait, I think Toei did this for a tokusatsu before?"
    If you marked yes for at least most of these, it's a Kamen Rider Show
