As much as I'm glad to have hyped you up by proxy, I gotta admit that I don't mean *Ultraman* X, I mean this dork:

... OH!

I wish I could say anything but I don't know that guy yet

[AkibaSilver]

He's my attempt to truck with Showa, and he's decent! I think there are worse choices for a first attempt to crack Showa.

Glad to hear it! My first attempts were ZO, J and Amazon... so a little eclectic lol

I've done the Showa/Heisei movie trilogy ages ago (and the ZX special!), but I guess doing a whole series feels like a bigger achievement. The strange plots, the fight scenes, the constant children-in-peril, all done in 25 minute chunks building to a climax where it's probably gonna be the Great Leader again.

Amazon, though, I've also heard good things about. People on the whole seem to like him!

X is probably my favorite of the 70s Rider shows. It has some really good villains and was the first Rider show to really experiment with serialized storytelling. Don't try to make a drinking game out of Chiko and Mako getting transformed by monsters, though; your liver will not be happy.

It's already begun.

My first Showa Rider was the very first episode of the original, but only the first episode. After that I found half of Amazon and watched that, have yet to finish it though. I saw the ZO and J, along with a few clips from Stronger, but other than what I've mentioned, not a complete series yet.

I do plan to get around to them at some point, but I don't have all the time in the world, especially with every other show I'm watching.

If I counted every show I haven't finished or just watched episode one of I could be here a while!

Even though it's the only Showa show I've finished I got into Black easy enough, certain shows like the original,Black etc do stand out anyway and I never really had any bias against either Showa or Heisei on the whole, although the one thing I do definitely prefer these days is that the 2002 onwards opening themes are not just the name of the show which is personally a bit more my cup of tea, but tbh I'm probably more a fan of strictly Kuuga to Kiva than actually the whole of Heisei!
