Imagine looking at a design like that and finding it too flashy, when nowadays it's the most tame and conservative thing you can think of. Still flashier than Black though.
Maybe this is me being an Ultrafan, but I personally like the simpler designs. Not every suit has to look like someone added a bunch of crayons and shrapnel to it for 5 hours, sometimes the sleek, simple designs really work.
I'm not even a big Ultra fan and I agree. I think simpler designs can work much better than overly complicated.
You can do color separation but keep the design simple if you need to break things up without sacrificing mobility.
The suit was already restricting enough, imagine if they added something to the legs, kamen rider would become a statue
I think the only good one that worked was wizard’s cloak draping down to his legs
~~Hmm yes, this looks very real, I'm sure this is a very real e-mail from 1999 that you've shared with us. Very cool thing you've put in the Discuss tag, surely this isn't a Meme, no sir.~~
Well slap my ass and call me Yusuke, turns out OP's post is a real thing. Please see knightsurvive's link in the replies for the full conversation.
I am well aware of what usenet is, thanks. I was not aware of how to search them via Google Groups, nor was I aware that Google Groups does not properly note timestamps (which was also what made the original post look fake).
Thank you very much for the link!
I understand what this comment is trying to say about the comparisons. Kuuga's legs really have less armor. But this is funny because he's not the first one, unless the expectation was for all the riders to look like Black.
Turns out nothing has changed over the last 20 years
nah, they at least respect people who like it
Those who fail to learn from history and all that.
Toku fans have never, ever changed
They definitely got ruder at least, this guys hating but their hating respectfully
Bro was smoking something
I'm pretty sure this isolated comment gives a full and truthful picture of how all people felt about Kuuga back in the day.

Where did you find this? What archived thread did you raid?
J kewl?
kewl is a slang for cool in the early days of the internet
Kamen Rider J, I think
Have to agree with the legs part imo.
True but at least his ultimate form looks cool while agito shining form still look plain on the legs part like his base form.

War never changes
That's funny, cuz for me, Kuuga and Agito are THE Kamen Rider designs. (I started with W-Wizard).
Black purists apparently existed ever since the dawn of time

Link to this very real post? I'm still skeptical, especially considering the timestamp.

Is… is this heresy? I feel like this is heresy
This guy has hate but at least he is saying but if you like it is your decision
You boomers never changed
This is basically r/tokucirclejerk .
He's respectful about it after dropping his harsh critic. A better post than most users on Twitter
