That's certainly a major aspect. In terms of Toku anime, I more try to view what has alot of major influences of common aspects of the Toku genre, if not being directly based on one.

Brave Command Dagwon is basically Toku + Sentai + Mecha all rolled into one!

My only experience with the Brave franchise has been GaoGaiGar, and I really wasn't a fan of it. Is Dagwon any different?

Oh yeah there was also this, it's called MAJIN BONE and was by Bandai and Toei.

This is the second opening clip but the first opening theme was sung by Kazuki Kato who played Daisuke/Kamen Rider Drake in Kamen Rider Kabuto.

Yeah, Majin Bone was brought up earlier. That's a rad opening though!

Thanks for all of these suggestions by the way, guys! No idea which show exactly I'll gun for next, but hey, atleast I won't exactly be strapped for choices, haha.

Okay, so I seriously couldn't decide between the ones I initially had ideas for, ontop of all the suggestions you guys threw my way. So I did what I always do in times like these: Roll a die. And said die landed on...

Blassreiter

And looking at the opening alone, oh yeah, some definite Kamen Rider influence in this one. Also apparently written by the same guy who wrote Gaim. Having not seen Gaim myself yet(sans the Kikaider crossover), maybe this will work as a sort of preview?

Regardless, will start covering this next week assuming no other projects get in my way. Hope you guys will join me!

Afraid I have my schedule full as of now, but I do hope you enjoy it. Haven't seen it myself but I did see Madoka (Also by Urubochi, though I'm not sure if Blassreiter is, since I only heard mention of it) which I feel influenced Gaim probably more so than this (I'll probably discuss the two at some other time).

Anyway, from the opening, it looks great, even sung by GranRodeo, who did Bungou Stray Dogs' openings (1, 3, and the movie). Though it appears the more "Henshin Hero" style anime usually have CG for the "suits" as far as I've noticed, seeing Gatchaman Crowds, SSSS Gridman, and Majin Bone, which doesn't look bad compared to some CGI scenes in anime as far as I've seen. I'll get around to it when I can.

Eyy, no worries man. If you ever do check the show, be sure to come back and share your thoughts!
