Been thinking about this, and so far I have three ideas that feel could be fun to cover. Two of which I have seen and one of which I haven't yet:
The Skull Man - A sort of "Ultimate Universe" of Ishinomori's' various works. I remember liking it fine back when it first came out, but I feel like I'd appreciate it alot more now since I'm alot more familiar with his various stories.
Garo: Crimson Moon - The prequel to the first Garo anime. I've heard some rather mixed opinions on this one, and I really liked the first anime overall, so I'm rather interesting in watching this. Plus next year is a special anniversary for the franchise as a whole.
Detonator Orgun - I know alot of your initial reactions are gonna be "What?" And yeah, I know. Detonator Orgun is a rather obscure OVA that was originally conceived as a reboot of the classic Tekkaman, which in itself was very Toku inspired. It's actually a rather important piece of anime history that sadly becomes more forgotten with each passing year, so I do wanna eventually give it some sort of spotlight, similar to Kikaider.
If anyone has a preference on what to tackle first, by all means, cast your vote! Whatever one I end up doing won't be until the New Year though.
But, before the Current Year closes out, I feel like there's a bit of unfinished business on my end...

I wanna talk about the overall design of Primal Gridman, and just how cool it actually is.
Like, this is something I really only realized recently, because that design fulfills alot of things all at once and seriously, props to whoever came up with it. First off, it really does look like the sort of "techno-future" sort of design you'd seen on most rebooted characters, from the tech-lines, to the various armored bits.
That alone is cool, because it succeeds where the 2017 MMPR movie failed; Creating a design that not only still resembles the given character, but is also still appealing to look at ontop of making sense within the context of its own story. Because you see, there's also a reason this form is known as "Primal" Gridman, which should've been obvious to me once the epic finale hit.
Taking a closer look at the design, it really comes across to me that, especially with the various tech-lines emphasizing it, well... it straight up looks like Gridman himself is missing chunks of his body, or at the very least that his body is barely being held together. It really hammers home how Gridman became fragmented upon entering Akane's' virtual city, and how only by becoming whole again and uniting the hearts of everyone could he once again become his true self, or, the classic Gridman everyone knows and loves.
It's something that super went over my head until the rewatch, and it made me love this anime's' visual aesthetic even more.
Merry Christmas!
