Best New Show of 2018
Gonna cheat and say Build, it gave us the absolutely stellar Hazard arc and shit this year too
Best New-to-You Show of 2018
Kyoryuger, I thought I was going to hate it but turns out everyone and their mother just highly exaggerated it's flaws because they hate fun I guess
Best Rewatch of 2018
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I don't remember if I saw Fourze this year or last year. I'll sick it there either way
Best Movie of 2018
Heisei Generations Final I suppose
Best Male Lead Character
Sento, he's adorkable and I just want to hold him and go "Everything will be ok you poor soul"
Best Female Lead Character
Tsukasa/Patren 3. Likeable personality, rather relatable and does her job well and cares more about actually doing a good job instead of getting them there thieves (I like you K-Man but jeez)
Best Male Supporting Character
Banjo Ryuga, the best secondary Rider we've gotten. Loveable, laughable, badass and my special child
Best Female Supporting Character
Tsukuyomi, she hasn't been able to do much but she's more action-packed than Sougo, the fucking main character, has been so far
Best Villain
Evolt. Absolutely oozing with charisma and is a prick
Best Returning Past Character
Decade. I didn't like Decade's show but he himself was a highlight, glad to see him back
Best Actor
Inukai, Sento's actor. He's able to show so many ranges of emotion and his PTSD-driven grief in Build was truly a sight to behold as someone who's mother has PTSD
Best Actress
Tsukasa's actress I'd say as she's also able to make a 180 on her personality and have it feel natural
Toku Crush of 2018
Banjo. It's nice to be reminded I'm bi and not a lesbian every once in a while
Best Writer
Build's writer, I forgot his name
Best Director
Kazuya Kamihoriuchi without a goddamn doubt, this man has so many interesting shots to the point it makes me think "Holy shit how is he stuck doing children's television this is fucking amazing"
Best Suit Design
Build Hazard. It's fucking terrifying and the design itself shows that it's not quite right, incomplete and rather twisted. I showed this and RabbitTank to a friend and told him to tell me what personality he could derive from tbe pictures alone and he nailed exactly what made Hazard scary in the show. Truly, one of the best looking forms for ANY Rider. It's also my go-to example of why literal children shows handle designs better than fucking Xenoblade 2, yech
Best Weapon/Vehicle/Mecha
Patkaiser. The design really grew on me and I really love the helmet it has. The fact I own it might have something to do with it
Best Fight Scene
Hazard's debut. Showing us this savage form with amazing cinematography from Kazuya Kamihoriuchi gives us both a strong form to awe at yet a sinister monster to fear. Fucking brilliant.
Best Dramatic Scene
I'd have to say the scene where Cross-Z Magma makes it's debut, seeing Banjo get so utterly broken down by Stark really makes you root for the guy, especially with Stark's chilling "Once again I'm taking away a loved one from you and you can't do anything"
Best Comedic Scene
Either the Build Recaps or the Zi-O .5 episodes, I'm too lazy for specifics
Biggest "WTF did I just watch?" Moment
Grease's shoulder angel/devil thing with the towels
Best Song
Burning My Soul, specifically the Hiroyuki Takumi version
Best Piece of Merchandise
I'd say my Blood Stalk Figuart's up there, gorgeous figure
Biggest Surprise of 2018
Shout Factory handling Pre-Zyu Sentai. I've yet to watch any of their subs cause of the damn region codes and it may be the worst Sentai I have ever laid eyes on, but it's exciting to know that more seasons are getting exposure to the west. Discotek getting their hands on Juspion too for that matter
Biggest Disappointment of 2018:
Lupinranger VS Patranger. I like it but god fucking dammit do I hate what they did for most of it. It's almost entirely filler episodes meaning the plot barely fucking exists, the team focus is so one-sided it's not even funny and the fact the Patrangers got screwed over by Toei making them uncool in comparison to the Lupins, who are supposed to be the cool ones which is why they were constantly in our faces, screwed them out of a fucking upgrade. Jesus christ there are SO many ways you can fix this show
The Onari Memorial Award for Single Worst Thing in 2018 Tokusatsu:
That godawful gender bend episode of LvP
There was SO much missed potential. They COULD have used an episode like this to help develop Sakuya so he learns he might be making Umika uncomfortable with his behaviour around her by having girlSakuya get hit on by men the entire episode to live in her shoes. They COULD have made this a bodyswap episode for both teams to have odd shenanigans and seeing how both teams react or try to avoid the others in the teams finding out they've been switched, They COULD have used the monster's Alfred Hitchcock inspiration to make an episode like when Time Force had the rangers go through movie sets. But NOPE! Instead we got this entire fucking mess. Japan, your fucking zombie idol anime showed you're better than this for fucks sake
