Speaking of special effects, Amazing Mighty Kick is surprisingly good considering it's Kuuga SFX
That's because Amazing Mighty deserved it.
But my god, most other effects in Kuuga were bad. The edited in explosions looked horrid, which was kind of a disappointment. I think Titan and Dragon had the better effects in general.

Kuuga Dragon's first Rising Dragon Splash was also awful, you could tell they pretty much paused the footage when Kuuga stabbed that bitch

I love Blade, easily my number 1 Kamen Rider series and one of the few that I would never turn down rewatching, but it's special effects are rather lacking. While the cinematography and action are done well, the effects that accompany them feel very weak, even considering it's time. The effects on things like Mach and Tornado are just straight bad, while Garren's burning drop needs a lot of touching up (Though that one might just have been the TV rip footage I'm used to seeing).

Personally, I felt KR ramped up the special effects around Kabuto, where energy attacks were more than just blue/green colored blobs, speed effects were done far more effectively, and CG enhancements were a lot less conspicuous.
Not every effect is great, but as a whole, I love them, especially the ones done at night. Upon thinking about it, I did forget to talk about the bad CGI moments. Oops, but then, it's so hard to cover every aspect of a TV series. I even went back and added in a few things I forgot to include in my original script (Nozomi and the designs of the suits/Undead).

Amazon episode 5: My first foaming geyser of blood! Wonderful. I think Amazon might hate transforming even more than Kouta does. Every fight he's just like, "Lemme bleed everywhere first" before transforming. Also gotta love how surreal the fights are. Who needs drugs when you could just watch Amazon?

(Yeah, I'm having fun with this.)

I always thought the were okay for the time, but they certainly didn't age well, especially when watching in HQ....
Did they really expect us to think Takaiwa was Tsubaki (Kenzaki)?! x,D

Then again, with how... unique... the direction in this show can be, especially with camera angles (all the extreme close-ups....!), the effects kinda fall into the show's "style", I guess?

I have never had a problem with bad special effects as they're doing the best with the budgets on hand. Plus, being a kid of the 70's, I'm so, sooo used to bad FX.

You know, I thought the Beastmen in Amazon looked alright at first, but the snake and crocodile ones were just... incredible. I'm not even sure how to react to monsters on that level of floppy rubberiness.

I'm not really super down against series with bad FX. It's just that Kuuga's were notable due to it being 2000, but the effects felt like it was '91 :p

Let's put it this way: They couldn't really hide the fact that they hardly had any budget to begin with. :lol
