Kamen Rider fever? AGAIN!?

Ok, so, I used to be a big fan of Kamen Riders(started watching from Den-O), got a 2 belts and alot of other KR rider stuff. It's consider an alright collection(not too big) but then my love for it was gone.................during the year when Kiva was airing in Japan(not sure why, it's a good series but I guess I like that Den-O funny and not so serious storyline). Then Decade came and I love the series again but when Double was airing, same thing. So you see, theres a pattern here rigth? Yup, and I started to like back the series with OOOs now. It's a great series and theres alot and I mean ALOT of influences of this series with Den-O.
First off, when I first watched the opening, I knew there was a Den-O vibe because of the song. It has that happy feel to it. Then, we have the characters, it's quite obvious that Ankh is like Momotaros, hard headed person, easy to get angry, thinks very good about himself, and ofcourse, spawns the same red colour and possesses a human. Oh and getting owned by Hina-chan?(will get to here soon) That's like Momo getting owned by Hana. Next we have Hina-chan. She is like Hana, strong and also has a similar name in terms of spelling. Ofcourse her attitude isn't like Hana at all but she has the strength like Hana. Alright, now we talk about the 4 Greed, these Greed are the enemies in this series, but they have similarities with the 4 main Imajins. Although Momo's personality is with Ankh, but Momo's human form look is with Uva. They both have that gangster look and have their hairs brush to the back. Yes, Momo's hair is spiked but similar to Uva's too. And they both wear Jackets(although Momo's clothing changes but I remember he had this black leather jacket in the first few episodes of Den-O). Next we have Cazali, his human form is just like Ryuta, he doesnt have Ryuta's child like personality(we will go to this later too), but he has his looks like wearing a hat and kinda like a hip hop kind of clothes and such(like not tucking in his clothes). Now, let's talk about Gamel, Gamel is the strongest of the group but has a child like personality like Ryuta, and I just found out that his name is similar to Gamera(the monster). He is like Ryuta, childish but very cute. The only one that doesnt have similarities with Den-O's Imajins is Mezuru(or Mezoolu). Now, other than that, the President is just like Owner from Den-O as they are both mysterious and they are rich(somehow), example; the President owns a big company that makes these trivendor and such and Owner owns a train. Oh, and both likes food(one is cake and one is fried rice) and both developed the belts. Not to mention, both have pretty lady as their assisstant or some sort. Oh yeah, another one is ofcourse, that guy who delivers stuff for Eiji, who works for Kougami(President), has a personality like Sakurai Yuuto(Zeronos). The monsters in OOOs unleash people's desires, whereas Den-O grants wishes(and they both usually worked the same way, like forcing it to someone and not really making it magically happened). Oh, and KR Birth(the 2nd rider in OOOs), has the same colour as Zeronos and also uses something else to henshin, the something else is something that is not the same as the main rider's henshin stuff. Birth uses cell medals instead of core medals, where as like Den-O, Den-O himself uses the pass to henshin and it's unlimited but Zeronos uses a number of limited cards to henshin. When the cards are finish, he can't henshin no more. Am not sure how Birth is henshin and is it limited or not(I'm just at like EP18 now) but am pretty sure, I think it is.

Some small similarities with other series including the monsters has a old kamen rider monster look, like the ones from Kuuga and Agito. The monsters has that kind of ancient look and much more scary than Den-Os ones.

The DX OOOs driver itself is like the DX Decade belt as it has many voices and almost endless to play with but unfortunately it has it's flaws and not as good as the Decade driver. Example, some voices are just repeats like instead of reading the Showa Riders name V3, it reads ''KAMEN RAIDA!'' or that so called epic 11 Rider medal, instead of like the Decade's special card which says all 10 riders, this one only says ''GANBARAIDO!'' and that's pretty irrelevant at all. It's like the Decade belt with many voices and sounds and you have almost endless play if you buy the medals but you will be dissapointed that some sounds dont come out as they are shown in the pic of the box. It is to me, the 2nd best KR Belt and Double goes 3rd(you dont really get the sounds from the belt, you have to buy the candy toy and other usb memories but it is still almost endless fun there). In termns of designs and coolness of the belt though, Kabuto and Faiz(not in order) is the most rarest and most expensive Heisei Rider belts ever, IF you ever stumbled one, they will probably cost you a bomb.
So, were now done talking about the similarities stuff. So, I got back to the series and now just ordered a half box of OOOs Medal Candy #3(shared with friend) and also a half set of OOOs Medal Gashapon #4(also shared with friend). I am hoping, both of us are getting the ShauTa combo so it wont be unfair and hoping to get the Kuwagata medal as well(for GaTaKiriBa combo). So now am in the OOO ferver with collecting the Medals. I currently only have the SaGoZo combo from Medal Set 02 and will be getting the DX OOO Belt soon. I just missed the Dino Medals from Medal Set 04 so........................I have to find a way to get it now lol. Anyways, that means I will have 9 medals arriving soon like next week and all together I have 12 Medals(including SaGoZo). Awesome! Stay tune guys, there will be pictures and a video of(unboxing of the packages and also unboxing the medals).
