So much character. I love the first half of this series. It loses its way in the early 30s and the CG is questionable, but the beginning has so much heart and soul. Absolutely worth a watch, regardless of flaws.
Please watch this! Absolutely remarkable series!!
One of the few riders who value hard work and training to earn their status plus the story telling and art style is really unique, at least for the first half of the series.
This first opening song gets way cooler once every Rider is introduced
Correct, can't say the same about the storyline tho.
@@karpkarpkarp5 The problem with this whole series is that it was NEVER originally meant to be a Kamen Rider series. Not to mention all the stuff that happened behind the scenes midway through the show. Even one of the cast members, Mitsu Murata, mentioned on his blog that he was pissed about what happened.
@@krfan5459 that’s a myth
@@somewhatsour which part?
@@krfan5459 all of them.
It is interesting to see how much people have changed their views on Hibiki. Back when it aired, I followed many of the discussions on forums like Rangerboard and HJU, and I remember that a few people made fun of the first opening scene, and then everyone joined the "Hibiki sucks" bandwaggon without actually watching the show. Today things have changed, and people see Hibiki (or at least the first half) for the masterpiece that it is. If we look beyond the gorgeous scenery and tributes to Japanese folklore, we have a very interesting social commentary about modern Japanese culture, and the immense pressure that many young people there are facing. Having to live up to the expectations of friends, classmates, teachers and familly. It is also very interesting to notice that Asumu is living with his mother who is both single AND belongs to the lower working class. That is something you rarely see in other Tokusatsu shows... Hibiki himself is so flawed, which is what makes him perfect. He is so down to earth, and simply can't understand why society is making a big fuss about how you live your life. He is not a "cool" dude like Takumi or a goody two-shoes like Godai. He is just a normal dude who has a very laid back view on the world.
Liked the most part but if you think Godai is a "goody two-shoes" u are so wrong. He yearns to kill Gurongi just to protect his belief in saving ppl in ep 35. And actually his beliefs are reinforced by the pain and empathy he has felt from other ppl as the show goes. It is definitely not some "virtuous" dude sacrificing himself just so he can save the world. He is not driven by some self-righteousness but his simple will to help ppl feel better i their lives. Every show is unique is its own way, and Godai as a character was a success in Kuuga as in the show.
I thought it was going to be Kamen Rider the musical
@@harrisonblake7005 he didnt know dat kuuga is legend rider who save the whole franchise bruh
I think the series is great so far (this is my first time watching), but from what I already know from the wiki, the reason a lot of people hated it when it came out is that it was never meant to be a _Kamen Rider_ installment, but rather a reboot of _Henshin Ninja Arashi._ I do like how the show preserved its connection to _Arashi_ through the crossover event, and I personally think of the Ongeki Senshi as their own distinct warrior type, rather than classifying them as Kamen Riders.
I think it will be much much more better If they did not change the story line after Ep 29.
The real demon slayer before 'demon slayer' was cool
I can’t believe you’re comparing demon slayer to Hibiki
@@lettuce1626 Whats Wrong?
@@VeryCoolChevalier they’re nothing alike
@@lettuce1626 to ryuki
@@lettuce1626 the villains is technically demon so calling this demon slayer is not wrong either, just the demon and hero work in different way.
*Me:* "Are they gonna start singing?"
*Asumu:* _"♪Ohaiyo!♪"_

Hibiki means "sound." Just a hint, haha.
@@clintonleonard5187 I knew that the Riders for this season had musical instruments as weapons, using the tuning fork to transform, etc, I just wasn't expecting a full blown musical number.
@@otaking3582 "Ohayou (From the first episode) is actually included in the soundtracks and I love it. A great, refreshing way to open this series.
@@hunterw4304 this one hibiki one is more unique than now a day kamen rider
I love Hibiki's motifs and aesthetic. It's truly a unique piece of art.
It's a masterpiece on it's own right while many subsequence riders are so bad and ridiculous.
I consider it as a Zen, while not focus too much on action and some over-the-top drama scene, or even some cheesy dialogue like showa installments, the first 30 episodes plot is full of life-lesson, philosophical thought, and some of religous experience, yes, it's one of the truest Japanese heroes to the core.
What I really like from the first opening is how it changes the instrument every couple of episodes, sometimes related to main character involved in the arc, which is really charming
I knew music was big part of Hibiki but I wasn’t expecting a freaking musical number in the first 5 minutes! lol
I know, isn't it awesome!
When I was younger, I thought Hibiki was kinda weird. But boii, now I realized that the aesthetics and soundracks on this series are unique and great 😬
Yeah, bro. Feel like drama musically in 40's to 90's.
Now, Hibiki is one of Decade’s fav KamenRide. 😂
Toshihiko Sahashi is an INCREDIBLE soundtrack composer.
same here,, it actually classy,, super unique,, i heard Hibiki was Ishonomori last wish.
But business is business, company is company, no sale = bad. Sad truth
i feel u....same
This first half of Hibiki is as close to a masterpiece a Toku can can get. I just love how relatable Asamu is as I was his same age the year this came out. Even with the different school life styles between Japan and the US. their this universal coming of age story that anyone can relate too.
The second half is just a bad dream 😆
Welp, if only Toei isn't being an a****le by firing Takatera and letting him do the series his way.
i felt the same way too
Totally agree, first half of Hibiki is as close to a masterpiece in rider series!!
Classic case of art vs, suits. "Great show, but you're not selling enough toys so get lost. We don't pay you to innovate."
When even the lead actor who had every reason to toe the company line publically called out the second half of his own series as B.S. you know its bad.
@@ViccVegaa023 Question is: was Toei able to sell more toys during Hibiki's 2nd half then?
The series that literally saved my life... hope yall enjoy!
Hope you are doing well, brother.
thanks
For me it was kabuto.....next week maybe?
How?
@@InLifeStory probably were in a dark place mentally and the show encouraged them to not give up and become better than before.
Ahhh I love that Aaumu musical intro, it's such a creative way to start a series about music!
Thanks for uploading Hibiki!
First time i know Hibiki because Decade episode 1. As a kid, i really love Hibiki's design. Then i watched the movie. First time i saw his Henshin scene like "Damn that was traditional." Not like Showa's that cyborg-vibe, Shin's organic-vibe, Kuuga's ancient-vibe, Agito's mythical-vibe, but Hibiki goes with really new feels. I'm glad i watched this Rider, but not until final eps LOL.
I will never get enough of hibiki's musical number in the first episode
Second half may not be so good, But I think this is truly a fantastic series and my favourite Kamen Rider
The series is good but...
my take is, it was meant to be a slice of life kinda series that will be culminated with asumu becomes a fulltime oni . so yeah no big baddie whatsoever...
SPOILERS!: Kiriya-kun fails this series. I'm glad he got cast as Zeronus. The actor deserved another chance.
Armed Hibiki just feels out of the spirit of this show. Kurenai should have been his final form, in my opinion.
Hibiki, though...best rider ever. It's a shame he became so bitter with the production. It shows in his work towards the end.
google keman rider to dierioki
sentai guy ma man
The first half of this series just hit different. You can feel it from the artsy opening
The first-half of the series is damn great, then they change the director and went full action, not bad but the story-driven aspect that made the series very unique was gone. Along with Agito, Hibiki is still my favorite.
I hated the directorial change so much that I couldn’t even bare to finish watching the series after that. However the show still has a special place in my heart and is among my favorite installments in the Kamen Rider series.
Yeah, the first half did so many things right, and you gotta love the filming locations. I know this is one of the reasons why the show went over-budget, but damn those mountain shots were cool.
Kuuga, Agito, Hibiki, & Faiz are my top 4 most favorite Rider shows!! ✌️😁
It's actually a good show when finally revisited. Dang, finally in HD, there's only grainy dvds out there due to the reception to this series initially
That's the best thing about this channel. This is probably the best quality you will see old Kamen Rider in.
Hibiki series really remind me of Kuuga, the design of the Oni kinda looks like Grongi, really like this series
I always love hibiki... I learn a lot seeing this series... Hosokawa shigeki play a great role in this
@Jeffery Tang Ibuki were Sailormoon Hubby btw 🤣😂🤣
f
.@Jeffery Tang
@Jeffery Tang Touki shifted to Kiva Universe... I don't know the rest goes where!!! 👀😂😆.. Oh Todoroki went to Wizard World.
Hibiki is my favourite Kamen rider
Stupid Series! So F* terrible
Adulthood is when you think first half of Kamen Rider Hibiki is masterpiece
This is the first time I've seen hibiki with decent video quality, I wish I had been able to watch the whole series like this
I don't like Hibiki when I was little but it becomes one of my favourite rider :)
First time watching Hibiki and I gotta say: I like it! Love that everything has a music tone as the series is centered around music instruments.
Didn't think that several years later i would be the first person in my family to play an instrument...and it was a chudaiko. I carved my own bachi from scratch, and to this day still keep them smooth and polished, ready to matsuri, omiyage, korekare, and renshu
I don't understand the release schedule here, but any release is a good release...
Would be good if they upload Kabuto as well
@@araisannanoda3688 we'll get there soon enough, don't worry
@@ekosubandie2094 Clock Up!
The release of this channel is only limited to the commemoration of 50th Kamen Rider Series which only shows 1 or 2 episodes of each series
Still waiting for kamen rider 555
Finally i can watch Hibiki in true HD. 😍🤩... Poor Asumu retired & new hibiki goes to Zeronos🥴...i can't believed im 3rd viewer watch this😄
And yet it isn't uploaded in 60fps
I'm going through the Heisei era now, and Hibiki is such a breath of fresh air. The story, the music, the filming locations, the whole vibe is different and it's extremely wholesome and cool. I adore Hibiki, even though I'm only on episode 8.
It also reminds me of Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba, because Hibiki hunts monsters.
Hibiki is personally my favorite Rider show of all time, partially because I actually watched it when I was an extremely insecure and fatherless 16-year-old. So yeah, you can imagine how much I related to Asumu and how much I looked up to Hibiki. The show gives such wholesome and relaxing vibes that I often rewatch an episode or 2 because its that much soothing.
Hope you enjoy the first 29 episodes and the movie! :)
@@darkadvent610 I grew up with only my Mother, too, so I relate a lot to Asumu and how he is searching for a father figure. It's very wholesome.
Dont expect too much after ep30, and you truly need to watch the movie
Hibiki was my first ever rider series. Loved the suit designs!
Kinda glad it was my first, cause that 2nd half....
Hrm.
I'm always interested in Hibiki since Junior High... But never really get my hands on the series, so thank you Toei
my favorite rider that most fans deny as a rider. from theme to costume and props. thanks Toei for showing this here.
Toei calls him a rider, he's a rider.
This had the chance to be one of the best Kamen Riders directorial change and change in the writing everything up to episode 30 is really good
It truly was a unique show and it stood out among other installments in the series. I hated the directorial & writing changes so much I stopped watching after episode 30.
@@maple9913 same here I watched episode 31 saw a total total shift in the writing and stop watching completely
The worst thing was that the ending completely shat on the message that the original writers were trying to make. "Pursuit your dreams, no matter what people say" was literally replaced by "You should do what others expect you to do". I will never forgive how they ruined Asumu's character development.
@@NerdX151 Just blame Toshiki Inoue for that
He wrote Hibiki 2nd half after the staff change and it was goddamn awful. Doesn't help he ruined Ryuki years later with Rider Time
@@NerdX151 Exactly! We all anticipated that he would follow in Hibiki’s footsteps and become an oni like him. Then there’s what they did to Akira because god forbid we have a strong female character that’s also a Kamen Rider.
Hibiki is one of my favorite Kamen Rider series of the Heisei Period Rider series. The Oni Kamen Rider in this series is very awesome despite the flaws of each one. Loved the first half of the series... haven't saw much after Hibiki gained his Armored form.
Episodes 1-29 were great, after that... well... can't change what happened, but this series still has a place in the heart though. :)
"To us, there are heroes."
I absolutely adore (the first half of) this Rider series! Takatera ftw! Very glad to see it get a release here.
I remember really liking Hibiki's design in Decade and have been interested in seeing this series eventually. I wouldn't say I'm a huge musical person (although I do enjoy them from time to time), but this opening episode definitely would have hooked me in if I was in the target audience around the time it was originally airing.
R.I.P Sei Ashina (1983-2020)
(looks up info on Ashina in shock) Last year was a bad one for Japanese celebrities. May she indeed rest in piece.
@Jeffery Tang
He told about the actor. Not the fictional character lol
Another Shigenori Takatera‘s masterpiece...unfortunately, Toei fked him up again with Toshiki... Hibiki, just like Kuuga, is one of the most unique Kamen Rider series.
Blame that to Shirakura.
Comparing Hibiki to Kuuga is high praise. Makes me want to check out Kuuga.
@@genkaiba15 both actually very different in their tone. Kuuga is your standard KR series, while Hibiki as concept isn't (but changed as KR series because at the time there wasn't any KR concept after Blade).
Kuuga is darker while Hibiki is lighter in the storytelling aspect.
Maybe the similaties between both are the J-Drama-esque feel and side character focused compared to other series.
Such a beautiful show
...
(Up to episode 29)
Did anyone else think Hibiki looked like Spider-Man 2099?
Yes. Kinda.
Remember, folks: this only had 30 episodes*
*Ignore the 19 that followed and Zi-O's Hibiki ep
32 episodes. The other 2 happen to be in Decade for some reason.
@@dragoknighte48 Alternate World though
At least on Decade its actually good. That show maybe a mess but it a fun mess
The music scene in Decade is fantastic, but replacement Hibiki's acting is a joke. Enjoy the song; forget Hibiki's Decade arc, also.
I’m pretty sure this had more than 30 episodes not counting decade or zi-o, I’m gonna go check right now
One of the more underrated kamen rider series out there.
Hibiki actually had some of the highest ratings for a Kamen Rider show, especially after they started doing late-night reruns. It gained a very large adult fanbase in Japan.
Agreed
I didn't recall episode 1 was a set as musical movie. Back in 2005, after the hype of KR Faiz 555, everyone hated Hibiki and mocked the series as failure. But when revisited in 2021, I can see its genuinity.
OMG! The editor was on all the METH. 1/2 second cuts for 10 minutes. Made me legit motion sick JEEZ!
One of the coolest Kamen Rider. 👹💿👍
@Jeffery Tang They went all action with no plot. That is the problem with most heisei rider series because their goal is toy sales not the show itself. The first director of KR Hibiki follows the plotline of Showa riders until Toei meddles with the story writing and becomes a show promoting toys and other KR stuffs.
Parents complained about the fire breathing at the end was too violent. So only. Once. Was really. Cool .
I love the aesthetic of this series opening... well the first half.
And if this isn't the most creative first episode, idk what is. This kind of stuff has already gone in modern day tokusatsu.
And here, friends, we see the most original kamen rider series ever produced :3
What do you mean by the "most original"?
The definition for original that I meant is the "created directly or personally by a particular artist; not a copy or imitation". Hibiki is the most "out of the curve", unexpected, unbound to its origins Rider
@@cesarsales22 I got it. I agree with you.
The first half of the series was the best!
Agreed
what happened to make the second half bad? i've heard that it gets bad later on
@@NekoValtz Yup it becames shabby because Hibiki focusing on training his apprentices too much.
@@NekoValtz it loses much of its uniqueness in order to fall into normal conventional rider series of the time. Plus the staff changes didn't help.
@@NekoValtz They replaced the original director and most of the writing staff. From there it immediately went down hill in quality. No official statement was ever given for the change in staff but many believe it was from a lack in merch sales compared to previous series. The change in staff was incredibly controversial and highly criticized by not only people working the tokusatsu & entertainment industries but also several cast members also spoke out about the changes. Not to mention that the final episode of the show was rewritten on the final day of filming.
Ah, that ED song, bring so many memories.
all this anticipation I really hope that Kabuto is uploaded after this one!
Woah, never seen this before
Don't lie Marco your the most will know fan of this show
@@pakspider6482 Yup :)
Marcos remember your old friend before Build
@@toku-punk Yo :)
The forest scenes are enchanting love the cinematography of this one
In my opinion, Hibiki is the coolest design of Kamen Rider. -Although, not even once they say "Henshin" when transform, it's sad, they can atleast whisper it- .
The way they still look cool when they change to human head while the body still oni, give the impression that that is their "real" body and not just a costume.
Back then, I think the show weird, KR Hibiki feels so different unlike other KR. But after rewatching them, that's actually what makes Hibiki great. I'm impressed with the aesthetic.
Though, for me, the story feels undone somehow, like there's no climax -onore, Momotaro- . It's good, but flat.
Hibiki is what it means to be a hero. Thank you, for being there with me in my life.
C’mon Toei, the demand exists for KR, please officially release the entire series from the start w/subtitles.
they are on amazon prime. Ryuki was the latest to be added.
@@Captain_Chaz86 How many series are on AP now?
Damn it opens like a musical. Very absurdist elements in beginning as well with the emphasis on music.
The best design of all Kamen Riders, the first half of this serie was good but the other half was awful... That's why you should never change the staff in the middle of the season !!!
Well, we realize how good the first half after the series end. In fact, when it aired in 2005, the rating for first half is not good.
It seems it's a problem of limited budget...
@@mickeygoh25 ...and low toy sales. Now we get coins and switches and watches and stuff. Collectables. Sure, Hibiki had disc creatures, but it was focused on story, not merch sales. That's a AAA no-no. Sad that it ruined what was left of the series.
❤❤❤❤ I still love the Ohayou opening sequence wwwww it's still so cute and charming wwww
Here in Philippines, 13 years ago (dem lol), I always watch this at TV5 along with Toradora and Shakugan No Shana.
How nostalgic. XD
Hibiki got the strongest Japanese vibe
It could have been one of the best series like Kuuga
Finally, I've been waiting on this one. Everytime I tried to watch Hibiki, it was pixeled to shit. So i couldn't fully enjoy it. Hope they continue to release ep.
Its just so happen Kamen Rider Hibiki & Garo (who was created by former Kamen Rider designer of late 80's-early 90's) aired in the same year, have the same heavy traditional/ancient japan design & both prone to shows stylized Kanji on the screen
The show that changed my life forever, I hope you all enjoy!
Thank you for the English subtitles 😀😀
...for the first few episodes then there is no subs...it like that for all the shows on this channel.
The most unique rider and story telling...
the most underated Kamen Rider series
Hibiki are the one of best design tokusatsu ever made in history.
I love his movies is very very fun and amazing
I despise this show at first..it took for me 17 years to realize that this show..it’s far more different and unique than any rider show..really strong concept and foundation of the story about teacher and student..the fact that Toei messed up from episode 30 and on it’s really disappointing..you’ll be realize if you watching the show.just bear it in a few first episode (really feels unusual) after that you really feels different😉
This my favorite kamen rider is so amazing
Such a shame what happened with this series after episode 30. If anyone is looking for a similar feeling show, I'd heartily recommend Daimajin Kannon
Finally can watch this. Thank you TOEI
One of my favorite seasons ever. Well, the first half. Seriously, the Takatera seasons, in my opinion, are the best shows ever in tokusatsu. They are shows that think outside of the box. Carranger was a parody of sentai and poked fun on the tropes. Megaranger improved on Turboranger's high school theme, and actually focused on high school. Gingaman is nothing but a great season. It was like a homage of Zyuranger, which was great. For Kuuga, Takatera was the man who brought rider back. He's the reason why we got Agito, Kabuto, Gaim, etc. For Hibiki, very artistic, and very well thought-out, like all of his shows. I really wished he would've stayed on for the rest of Hibiki. Haven't seen Daimonji Kanon though, but, after listening to (and watching) the intro.
Can't wait 'till you upload Black and Black RX!
LETS GOO i use watch this this is the best
Please upload all episodes of Kamen Rider series with subtitles, greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭❤️🇯🇵
The best opening ever
👁️🗨️ Pata! pon!
ooh ooh ooh! what sound! it's divine!
Hibiki is so cool and unique, it's one of my favorite Heisei series evwn though the second half of the series isn't very good
Asumu Adachi is adorable
The series that involve Japanese Foktale almost like Sentai but it was a Would be Kamen Rider. Since they called it Oni with Pure Sound.
*IWAE*
The Oni of Sound who fought demons to save the world and became a Rider... HIBIKI
I don’t think they ever mentioned “Kamen rider” ever in the show, he’s just an oni, Hibiki didn’t even know how to ride a motorcycle at first
Oh Hibiki is my Special Favourite!
Best Kamen Rider ever, not too much ''childish''! Too good! And the actors and the script are amazing... The fighting it's terrible. Especially when they changed direction halfway through to save money and sell more toys.
I love the instrumental opening
Me too... I like the ending song of the movie too... Hibiki & 7 senki.
@@ahmadzakiadnan9900 oh cool
I like that the opening is so fitting with the theme of hibiki. I feel like I'm about to watch a period drama, instead of kamen rider.
yes my love he finally here.best rider ever
Woooowwww.... Demon Kamen Rider...... Like it very much..
Kamen Rider Hibiki is giving me these Japanese traditional and Jungle Book vibe...i really like it
one of my favorite heisei rider
Kamen rider hibiki ep1~29 is the best rider TV series
Ending i'm not
@Jeffery Tang because Hibiki focusing on training his apprentices too much.
@Jeffery Tang everything was change since the replace of director and scriptwriter
The memorable about the second half of the show if the ending theme
@raesa bintang wow kenapa?..wow karena melihat kebodohan kau sendiri
First time watching Hibiki and man this show is shot like an anime. I'm intrigued.
Feel like i will continue watching this series
When I saw Hibiki’s henshin for the first time , I didn’t really like the tuning fork concept but, now I think it’s kinda grown on me
Hibiki is ready to hit the beat!!
Omg I was 7 yrs old when Tv5 aired this .an it's one of my favorite Kamen rider
This is one of the best Kamen Rider 😈
