I just got around to watching this, and I have to say, wow.
Ever since watching Kyoryuger I've had a massive level of respect for Riku Sanjo because of how
insanely
evident it is whenever you see something he writes how much
fun
he was having. Not to mention how much he clearly wants the viewer to be having that same level of fun. This is pretty much the epitome of that. Everything about this short but sweet slice of perfection is oozing with the giddiness of a guy who probably didn't think he was actually going to be asked to make an actual story with this concept. Brain's dialogue right at the start essentially admits as much.
So what do you do when your joke sequel hook from a few years ago is suddenly supposed to be real? I don't know, but a Showa era throwback with loads of meta humor is a hugely entertaining concept, so who cares? It doesn't even matter how we got here. The point is, we've got a memorable character from an awesome show back starring in a dumb adventure that also has the audacity to end with an
actual
sequel hook, and I love it. They even take the old trope where cheapo Rider spinoffs have gangs of random bad guy suits for no reason and work it into a legitimate plot point, so the whole thing is in that perfect zone of being deliberately stupid yet also smarter than it has any right to be.
I still don't know how the heck this thing got made, but man I am glad it did.
