The questions are asked by the Seishonen Iinkai or "Children's Committee." The answers are provided by TV Asahi.
"About the station's response to the 8/30 airing of Kamen Rider Decade on TV Asahi."
Questions:
- Do you think that was really the ending?
- What do you think about the complaints from viewers regarding the ending?
- What do you think about the fact that people need to watch the movie to get the concrete ending?
- What do you think about using this method on a program aimed towards children who still have undeveloped senses of judgment?
Answers:
- "We just wanted him to visit each of the Heisei Riders' worlds in order, so he spent two episodes in each and that made it kind of like a greatest hits collection, then in the end he cooperates with all the Riders he's met up until then to defeat DaiShocker. They beat them, so that's the ending."
(I guess this is all the answer we'll ever get about where All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker fits into continuity!)
- TV Asahi regrets that the commercial for the movie came right after the ending of the episode, since it wasn't supposed to come off as "You have to watch the movie to find out what happens."
- Because TV Asahi had gotten such positive responses from fans of Decade who didn't want the series to end, the network started working on the movie early so Decade fans would have something to sate their hunger. W was already scheduled to take over the timeslot so Decade couldn't be extended.
- If people think Decade's story isn't over and continues in the movie, that's a mistake. (Wha...?) TV Asahi is exploring ways to distinguish next episode previews from movie commercials so it doesn't happen again.
The translator notes that the Children's Committee's tone is very hostile in the questions and TV Asahi's very apologetc in the answers. My comments on some of the material are in parentheses. Because, man, TV Asahi, what the hell?
