Well, emphasizing the "my" sound came true, so that's pretty cool. Still remains to be seen whether the meaning of "my" will have any significance.

If this is yet another anniversary season already, I hope they keep it subtle.

Which is a close sound-alike to "mice."

For as long as I've been following Sentai and Kamen Rider, they've been weaving some clever (or sometimes "clever") English wordplay alongside the Japanese.

We just had a food rider a couple of years ago, so I'm kind of boggling over the possibility they might revisit that well so soon. Then again, these shows often have several sub-themes. Remember when Geats was looking like an animal Rider?

(Ugh, I probably should've read the other couple of pages of comments first.)

This really all brought it together for me I saw all the cheese clues, even so much as people drawing around the entire logo and it making a vague rodent shape, but I couldn't work out how to pronounce the title with the hyphen in the middle, but based on all the other stuff, it being Kamen Rider Mithe (mice with a lisp) actually makes all the clues gel together.

How on Earth you are blending mice and myths together for a show though I don't know. Rider fighting monster personified Black Death in King Arthur times?

I'm honestly so excited about a mouse themed Kamen Rider, I really hope it's true! I think the concept appeals to me so much because not only is it completely bizarre, but it really invokes the concept of the original Kamen Rider in was that isn't just copying it. Both grasshoppers and mice are animals that are small and often reviled by humans, are associated with catastrophic swarms that destroy crops and spread disease. Indeed, swarms of locusts would often cause a corresponding boom in rodent populations! I love the idea of something like that being used as a power to help humanity.
