I genuinely wonder what Toei/Bandai/the guy who played Chase on Drive think about English-speaking Kamen Rider fans. Do they think it's cool and super-passionate? Do they think it's really weird? Do they think we're clowns? I don't, like, care what they think of me, as a non-Japanese fan. (Well, Chase.) It wouldn't change my interest in the franchise. But I wonder if they have feelings about boards like this, fans like us. I'd be interested to know how we're perceived.

Up until last year Toei basically thought that we don't exist.

From what I've gathered it's taken a long time for them to realize we exist. Part of why it took so long to get any official licensed releases (outside of The First randomly showing up here back in the day) was because no one at Toei thought that there was enough interest in them. It took some long conversations with companies like Shout and Bluefin before Toei started actively paying attention, and that was just last year.

Oh! And here's this thing!
Pulled from my Google Doc, so it doesn't incorporate any responses, mine or yours. Still, it's a thing!

That sounds about right (Bluefin brought basically zero Rider stuff to C2E2, save a couple Figure-Rise kits), but it's still weird to me. I'm glad that all of the Japanese owners are starting to come around to the global Kamen Rider fandom, but it's disappointing its taken so long. I'd love to know why.

So after you posted the "Folks got feelings about Scissors" edition of this of the end of Ryuki, Kurona said this, which was a sentiment I really liked:

Which is how, looking at this one, I know you REALLY did like these characters! Takumi's name is dwarfing literally every other word there. It's not even a competition!

Don't forget YUKA GETS GREAT PLOT, which may as well be an actual quote from one of Die's posts!
