You pretty much listed the majority of the issues I have with that series. It's almost like they were planning for a new Rider series and shoehorned the idea of it being a continuation of Black simply based on popularity. Any ties to the previous series feel really tacked on and not natural, and important questions are never answered. Like where the hell is Katsumi and Kyoko? Are they still in California? Even if they couldn't get the actresses back, at least mention them. I'm glad to see someone else giving the show a chance, though. I'm stalled at the early 20s right now, but I've been enjoying the show a lot more than I expected to. It's not Black, but it's still pretty damn good. |

Even if they couldn't get the actresses back, at least mention them. Don't forget that some random stranger decided off screen to allow Kotaro to live with them. I'm not sure who the bigger idiot is, Kotaro for accepting or the father for inviting. Another problem is the forced comedy, like we had with the detective (a story that goes no where). Quote:
As for Rideron, I can see the point of it since it does do things Acobatter can't, but I want to know how the hell he got the thing to work. More specifically, how the hell did he get it into that cave under the ocean? I'm pretty sure Whale Mutant didn't install some car elevator. *sigh* I had to stop after that episode, I couldn't take it anymore.

I love RX's designs, I like in theory the idea of continuing on Kotaro's story, but I hate the execution of it. I reject their canon and substituent my own.

Super 1 Episode 45: This episode was brilliant. First I loved that they had a contest and made a monster from the drawings sent in, I think that would be fun to do again. The story line with the monster's human form being sent in to befriend Kazuya was actually brilliant, and some really amazing fights this episode. I have to mention this too, the great and actual use of Radar Hands! The least used of the 5 hands, and it actually finished the monster instead of a Rider kick this episode. I wish the subs didn't cut out for a good part of it near the beginning but great episode still. Next is the beginning of the end, the battle with Commander Onibi and Princess Yokai next.

The thing is though, what was the point of resurrecting Battle Hopper into Acrobatter just to replace him immediately with a car? And why a car? That defies the whole point of a Kamen Rider.

Agito 1. I was surprised by the rapid pacing, I expected it to be kinda slow. It's also kind of ridiculous that the monster would still be nearby by the time the G Trailer arrived and G3 got suited up. I'm also surprised that Agito doesn't henshin on-screen in this episode.

It more or less feels like a horror mystery, though it's a bit quaint by today's standards. Of course that can do with translations as well. Quote:
I don't necessarily mind so much the car, it certainly sticks out but I sort of appreciate that he's the only Rider to ever use one. I do however mind that Battle Hopper's resurrection and rebirth felt rushed. After a surprisingly well done sacrifice for an object, it felt like it should have been more meaningful to be reunited. |

On a whim..
Kamen Rider Stronger 01 So that happened. I love these classic Showa Riders, so full of wonderful 70's special effects and script writing. Most of which make absolutely no sense at all. And I say that with all the love in the world for batcrazy 70's television magic. I love Jo so far. Such a smartass, so perfect. And then we come to Yuriko. She's strong, she can handle herself, and yet still somehow ends up in situations where Jo/Stronger needs to come and rescue her. Because 70's And Black Satan! Oh my god those costume designs. Though seeing their troopers? I know where they got the idea for the costumes for Warstar's footsoldiers came from. And oh my God that Metal Aardvark Oh My God. His secret power is a little head on a spring. He shoots you with a little shrunken head on a spring. And then, when Stronger finds out about this, he doesn't even disconnect it. He just sort of karate chops near it and somehow that breaks it. Just like a kick to the shoulder was apparently his weakness cause boom. And I still loved every confusing wonderful moment of this episode. |

Super-1 Episode 46: Wow Princess Yokai and Commander Onibi should have fought from the beginning they both were extremely deadly, and caused severe problems for both Kazuya/Super-1 and the JRS damaging all of them. However Super-1 is so awesome that he beat 2 of the generals and the Jin Fighters blind! His eyes got damaged as Super-1 but the Water and Sunlight fixed it and he beat them both in one kick. Super-1 was so impressive this episode it was unbelievably awesome. Next up Super-1 vs Professor/Doctor Ghost. I really like that Dr. Ghost was pissed off his friends died, and that early in the episode that Marshal Demon was pissed off at them, and actually attacked them.
Super-1 Episode 47 (Penultimate Episode!): My god if all the generals teamed up in the beginning to fight Super-1, they would have destroyed him. Honestly Gold Ghost/Dr. Ghost's Golden Rain plan was horribly destructive like Onibi's and Yokai's was. Great to see it tie back into the beginning of Super-1 with the Space program he was a part of, and that Harumi and Choro finally learned he was Super-1. Great fighting in this too, Upgraded Electro Hands, that he used to save people's lives from the Golden Disease. Also he used the most overkilling Rider kick attack I have ever seen, He Rider Kicked Dr. Ghost 6 Times in one continuous attack. I can't wait for the last episode. Super-1 Episode 48 (Final Episode!): WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I waited 47 freakin' episodes for this moment! I own the Super-1 Figuart and he comes with a sword, and I'm like that's cool I wonder when he gets it, well after 47 episodes it finally appears! So better late then never. Anyways this was a brilliant finale, one of my favorite ones of all Kamen Rider. Super-1 looking like he was defeated then coming back to take the sword from Staff Officer Witch and basically impaled her with it was awesome. Totally so much sword action in this episode that was totally super badass. Also Kazuya was being totally destructive in this episode because he literally crushed in two of the Jin Dogma Fighters' heads in with his Power Hands, I'm glad they were robots or that would have been gruesome. He kicked some major ass with his Power Hands in this episode knocking the Fighters out left and right with ease. The Final Showdown between Marshal Devil/Demon (I'm not sure which one it actually is.) was absolutely fantastic, especially the ending, and all the sword fighting. Also learning that Jin Dogma was from Outer Space was a huge shock, I didn't see that one coming but totally makes sense, why they would want to stop the space program, hopefully with better subs this would make these scenes even better. The ending was good Kazuya finally gets to make it to outer space and well I know he returns because he's in the ZX special. I loved the parts with Choro, Tani, and Harumi all trying to help Super-1 and I loved the part of having Harumi have feelings for Kazuya because I always felt they had something even if they didn't really go into it, until it mattered. Anyways those last 3 episodes were some of the best of Super-1. Kamen Rider Super-1 Review: This has now replaced X has my favorite Showa Era series, I've learned so much from Super-1 even with the bad subtitles I still got the message. Kazuya Oki/Super-1 is one of the best Riders ever. He always tries to help, protect, and save people as much as he can, even if some of them were turned by Jin Dogma. This show even helped me become better as a person honestly. I don't know how long I've been watching it but these last few months have been an experience with Super-1. Honestly the only problems I have with it are the bad subtitles, and some outdated effects but it was the 80's. This definitely felt like one of the precursors of Modern Riders because of his Five hands, and each one having a special ability and switching from each one. I loved how he would train, and meditate to get past a threat he couldn't handle in the beginning or later how the JRS helped him take down Jin Dogma. Honestly from Terror Macro to Marshal Devil, and his four generals this is a great series. I'll have to say the Action is one of the biggest highlights, because each episode was brilliant in that. The Villains were absolutely fantastic, the storyline was really great especially towards the end, and connecting back to the beginning. Honestly if you can stomach HK Subs, or whenever someone else decides to Sub Super-1, the second it finished everyone needs to watch this series, It is definitely a must watch for Kamen Rider fans.
