Man! Toei really adores that man, do they?
What's next? Shoji Yonemura or Kento Shimoyama as the writer of this film? They basically Shirakura's goons. (Shimoyama also wrotes Kikaider Reboot which Shirakura produces it)
Shirakura is not that bad. While not a fan of the second half of Hibiki, I've always been a fan of the other stuff from Taisen to Decade to Zi-O. Shirakura is someone who definitely loves Kamen Rider and cares about it.
Zi-O's story may be all over the place at times, but you know what? For an anniversary series, I wanted something fun and meaningful. And that's what I got. The story isn't amazing, but the characters are great and the cameos post-Ghost episodes are done wonderfully. Nothing hits the excitement of seeing Riders like Eternal show up out of nowhere. Even if it's for a cameo, it showed that Shirakura cared about making this a celebration of the Heisei Riders, extended outside of the main ones.
Are Shirakura's movies and series the greatest written pieces of Rider fiction? No. Are they enjoyable? Yeah, for the most part they are. When I watch Super Hero Taisen I get something interesting. I get to see characters who would not normally interact end up as the main characters of the movie. In the original movie, the main characters are Joe, Doc, Kaito, and Hina. It's such a weird combination of characters, but it works. It's enjoyable to me. I wasn't expecting some masterpiece of writing, because as a writer I can see how horribly flawed it is. But there's so much heart in it that I can't help but enjoy the movies in the end. I've found Shirakura's works to be thoroughly enjoyable because they have so much heart in them. It's bad if there's both no heart and it's poorly written, at that point I just don't watch. But when I watch Zi-O, for example, I see a lot of love in it. A love for Kamen Rider and its fans. I think Toei picks him because he has a heart for the genre, even if the writing ends up not being that well done. In the end, when you have someone who really loves something and cares about it, you will end up with something that's poor writing is overshadowed by everything else.
