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 :lol

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! :lol

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!

Just want to throw out quick first impression thoughts that Kamen Rider Zero One: RealxTime (thanks to over-time for subbing) is maybe the nicest-looking toku movie I've watched... ever? Like, in terms of spectacle, before this movie I'd say the most to impress me before would either be Gaia Memories of Fate or Surprise Future, but I think RealxTime might honestly blow both out of the water.

Helps that it was nice, mostly simple story with plenty of actually really sweet and good character moments!
