Best New Show of 2018:
My answer might be different if I hadn't fallen behind on Jinga (I'll get to it, I promise), but I'm going to have to go with Build. I thought the show got off to kind of a slow start, but it was a consistently fun experience throughout 2018.
Best New-to-You Show of 2018:
Boukenger. Haven't actually finished it yet, but it's a really good show that I've been enjoying the heck out of.
Best Rewatch of 2018:
Kamen Rider Hibiki. My third trip through was every bit as good as the first two.
Best Movie of 2018:
Heisei Generations Final. Good use of not only Ex-Aid and Build's casts, but a film that made really effective use of the returning characters, too. This film actually did the impossible and made me laugh at an Onari scene.
Best Male Lead Character:
Sento from Build. That character went to some pretty complex places in the end.
Best Female Lead Character:
Umika from Lupinranger & Friends. She's faded a bit, but for a good stretch of the show she was arguably the most prominent character and she's been pretty darn delightful.
Best Male Supporting Character:
Gentoku from Build. That was a character that went to some weird places, but he was lot of fun after his face turn.
Best Female Supporting Character:
Tsukasa from Lupin v. Pat. I feel like I know more about her plush fetish than I needed to, but she's been the most reliably competent Patranger on those rare occasions when she's allowed to do things.
Best Villain:
Evolt. I tend to hate villains that seem to always be one step ahead of the heroes at every turn, but Evolt still worked for me. I legitimately bought him as the extreme threat he was meant to be.
Best Returning Past Character:
As much as I've enjoyed seeing Tsukasa back on Zi-O, I can't give this vote to anyone other than Ankh. I did not expect to ever see that character again, so it was fantastic to have him show up again in last December's movie.
Best Actor:
Masahiro Inoue. Between Jinga and Decade he's done a good job of putting in three really different performances this year.
Best Actress:
Kaho Takada. She was hilarious during Build's early days, but she put in a damn tour de force during its ending. That girl can ugly cry with the best of them.
Toku Crush of 2018:
If Yukari Taki is going to keep showing up in stuff I'm going to keep crushing on her.
Best Writer:
Build's Shogo Muto
Best Director:
Heisei Generations Final's Kazuya Kamihoriuchi.
Best Suit Design:
Kamen Rider Evol, either his Cobra or Dragon forms. I love that suit, it's like somebody took the original ending credits to Garo and made it into a costume.
Best Weapon/Vehicle/Mecha:
Probably the Heisaber, a weapon so stupid it comes back around again to being pretty awesome.
Best Fight Scene:
Sento's final showdown with Evolt. I loved how Sento kept downgrading through his forms until ultimately ending up with the base Rabbit/Tank.
Best Dramatic Scene:
The first time Jinga's dark side shows up. I was uneasy throughout the entire scene and then
that moment
happened. Definitely caught me off guard.
Best Comedic Scene:
The first time Gentaro showed up in civilian clothes, looking like some kind of Buddhist Liberace. It was weird, it was random, and it was hilarious.
Biggest "WTF did I just watch?" Moment:
See above.
Best Song:
I quite like Lupin/Pat's opening themes. It's really cool the way that they have both teams get competing/complementary themes.
Best Piece of Merchandise:
SH Figuarts Ibuki. I don't have it, but I'm suitably impressed that it exists.
Biggest Surprise of 2018:
In general, Zi-O's ability to get back a lot of previous Riders. There are absences, sure, but they've gotten back far more lead actors than they haven't at this point. Specifically, though, I'm really surprised that they got Takeru Satoh back and I can't wait to see that film.
Biggest Disappointment of 2018:
Ultraman R/B. I've been really enjoying the last few years of Ultraman but this show just did not work for me. I ultimately gave up about five episodes or so in. I didn't like the characters, I didn't like the stories, and the drawn out transformation sequences were intolerable.
The Onari Memorial Award for Single Worst Thing in 2018 Tokusatsu:
ZeoRangerV made a great point about Crunchyroll losing the Ultra shows and the lack of an official R/B sub. We were doing really well with official translations there for awhile and it sucks to lose them again. That would definitely be the worst thing of the year... if it weren't for Geiz's stupid tactical dickie. Fuck that thing.
