Indigo League also has 82 episodes. I'm half finished on it so given Indigo I'll start the first Rider.

MMPR I has 60 episodes so 34 more is no big deal.

The longest Ranger series seen from Toei was 53 with Kaku. Longest Toku I've watched so far.

I’m currently re-watching Kamen Rider W’s summer movie through Toei’s Tokusatsu World Official YouTube channel. I also watched the first Kamen Rider Black movie again through there just last week.

I hope the Rider shows don't get blocked by Shout Factory. I may be able to soon resume from Rider #1 if that's the case. I saw the first ever Rider episode. Want to resume from episode 2.

It is blocked for my region. Of course, I've watched it three times already, but it's still a shame.

Interesting. I can stream the Rider shows.

I've started watching Kamen Rider Build. Currently watched up through episode 14 as well as the Heisei Generations Final movie.

And I'm just gonna be upfront about it, I feel like this ain't the show for me.

The main issue I have is that not once has the show given me a real reason to care about anything going on. Like, it has this big dramatic plot going on, but never once has it given me a chance to get to know the setting, the characters, none of that. It just threw me into this world I know very little about with people whom I barely know and so far don't have any big traits for me to connect with.

It's not like, say, Blade, where I was dropped into a world so crazy it made me excited to know more and figure things out. Instead, this first arc for Build is more akin to the first quarter of Ghost, wherein the pacing is so off-putting and the characterization is so thin that I just can't work up a reason to root for much of anyone, let alone look forward to seeing them on screen. Things like the death of Ryuga's' girlfriend and the twist about the Owner would've probably made for great stuff... if I had at all known anything or cared about the people involved at the time in which these things happen.

Ontop of that, many a plot element doesn't make sense to me, especially given the show's' penchant for telling and not showing. We're told that the Sky Wall is this big deal, but outside of just being a gigantic literal metaphor, it really doesn't serve too much of a purpose outside of providing the Nebula Gas, especially given that the wall and the gas itself are easily avoiding or circumvented. We're told that Sento is this selfless hero, but whenever he's on screen he mainly just acts like a condescending jerk and alot of his more heroic traits/moments are simply delivered secondhand by other characters. We're told that Ryuga is a selfish douche who doesn't qualify as a hero(especially in HeiGen Final) despite him probably being the most sympathetic and kind character in the show so far.

Add on that none of the action is really doing anything for me and that I find that most of the comedy really falls flat, and this show really isn't giving me much to work with. It has its moments, sure, but nothing to really help carry me through. Heck, Decade atleast had Diend. It overall feels like a show that cares alot more about its plot than its characters, and that just ain't me.

Like, I'll still finish it, because if I can make it through Decade then I can make it through anything that Kamen Rider has to throw at me, but I'm sorry to say that so far I'm really not seeing where alot of the love this show gets comes from.

I would still advise not to be so categorical, because Build no doubt has its strengths. Especially when it comes to the plot. The local main villain is one of the best and smartest in the franchise, and also extremely active, as for the final boss. As for Sento, I find him quite cute, especially when compared to Tendo and Tsukasa. Plus, his passphrase is awesome:
https://i.ibb.co/8cPxT5X/sucks.png

Blood Stalk has certainly been entertaining, but not enough to really keep me super hooked. And while he hasn't even come close to Tsukasa levels for me, my big issues with Sento are that he comes across as a condescending prick alot of the time and that I find him to be a poorly written "smart guy" character.

Again, alot of his alleged more positive traits are delivered secondhand rather than him actually showing any of those positive traits to the people who matter or even to the audience. And half the time rather than using smarts to get out of a situation or to communicate with people, he typically just opts for brute force or relying on Misora's' simps for info.

Probably the most messed up thing was the episode where it's implied that he wrote the letter from Ryuga's' dead girlfriend to try and get Ryuga to be more "heroic." Like, people give Sogo from Zi-O crap for being manipulative. This is way worse.

Yeah, currently, the series focuses on the Touto section of the walls, despite the fast pace of the series in general, the wall isn't all given from the beginning but it'd be later though dunno if it'd be enough for you.

Sento's selfless acts are for example, taking in Banjou and believing in him, he's the very reason Banjou ends up in the cast. There's also how he treats Haruka in ep. 4. But just like the walls, some of the next few parts will emphasize that more. Banjou's selfish traits is shown in him complaining when others don't focus to help him clear his name or reverting Tatsuya into Smash to go after Night Rogue.

At this stage, I can only advise looking further. There are many surprises, including the revelation of Sento. As for his genius, it's the same type as Iron Man (by the way, didn't he infect superheroics with the type of asshole heroes?) or Batman and is expressed in the ability to come up with a bunch of new toys. With an ordinary mind, he does not really shine. The letter seemed real to me, but I could have missed something.
By the way, is Zi-O being accused of manipulation? He is the most frank with everyone and even his uncle cannot really lie!

By the way, yes. I remember that moment really hit me hard. I even wanted another character to be chosen for the role of the secondary rider.

Those acts from Sento are entirely undermined by the way he treats everyone, especially Ryuga. "I need to show Banjo the way" comes across as really condescending to me, for instance. Maybe it's an issue with my subs or maybe it's a cultural thing, but I am definitely not vibing with the guy.

Meanwhile with Ryuga, sure, I wouldn't say he's a great guy, but alot of his actions and his general thought process are really understandable for the most part. Sento promises to help Ryuga clear his name only to proceed to not actually put any effort towards that. Ryuga's' primary motive is also to avenge his girlfriend and to make sure that no one else suffers as she did, which I'd personally qualify as far more heroic than anyone in the show gives him credit for.

I do plan to finish the show, and while I do hope that my criticisms are addressed, I just hope it's not a case of "too little too late."

Yeah, people are really split on Sogo as a whole, not helped by how the show itself tends to flip-flop on how much of a dark side Sogo actually has. The OOO and Ryuki tributes being the biggest points of contention.

Really? I was more disappointed by Kuuga, W and Fourze. My main problem with Zi-O's Anniversary part specifically is that sometimes the show pays well-deserved homage to predecessors like Agito and Blade; and other times it shoots more of a parody of them, as in the case of Kabuto and Kiva.

Not so much accused, but manipulation is shown to be one of Sougo's unconscious talents. Geiz and Tsukuyomi often underestimate him due to his innocuous appearance unlike the dreaded Oma Zi-O. Sougo uses their perception of him to gain the element of surprise and persuade them to do what he wants, while they don't realize this until it's already happened. He doesn't lie exactly, but he will omit inconvenient truths. We see a little of this trait in the Wizard arc, but it shines in the following OOO arc.

However, I don't think this is necessarily a bad trait, nor do I think it makes Sougo any less heroic. The Sougo we know generally only uses it for good and due to his lack of friends, it's probably his coping mechanism and the only way he knows how to work with people who regularly debate whether or not they should kill him.

Sento proudly boasts about his self-proclaimed title being something like, "the genius narcissistic hero of love and peace", so all of those contrasting traits are a part of his identity, which he values due to his memory loss. Those traits carry over to his aesthetic as Build as well, the rabbit referencing his will to protect smiles and the tank referencing his capacity for destruction, fitting with the Kamen Rider philosophy that unpleasant things are sometimes necessary for the ultimate good.

While Ryuuga does develop to become more heroic, actually as a result of Sento imprinting on him, his initial motivation is pretty much mostly to get revenge on Night Rogue and has no problem using ruthless tactics to accomplish this, such as turning Tatsuya in to a Smash to lure him to the enemy's base. Ryuuga also complains the most about his situation as a framed fugitive in hiding, even though his disguises at least allow him to go outside while Misora is restricted to the fridge basement for like the entire first quarter. Sento has his own problem with his memory loss, but hardly brings it up, focusing mostly on his mission to help others as a Kamen Rider.

Shame that you're not enjoying the show and protagonist (also a self-proclaimed title for Sento, not like he's wrong either) much so far, but I hope you'll still find the winning formula in later episodes when the plot starts to escalate quickly.

Everyone has the right to complain about their hardships. Just because Misora arguably has it harder doesn't mean that Ryuga should be looked down on for venting about his own very legitimate problems.

Super intricate plot or not, if this show can't atleast give me one character to latch onto then I'm not gonna be very invested. Much as I dislike Decade, it atleast had Daiki, who I thoroughly enjoyed.

For the record, I'm not saying that Build is super terrible and the worst thing ever or anything like that, it's just very much not my cup of tea so far. And I do hope there'll be a turnaround as I keep watching.

Motives alone don't determine if you're the most heroic or not. Much more things also determine it, like actions/methods (not only about beating up bad guys), worldviews (as a root for their actions), etc. Though as said, Banjou's motivation that time is about himself.

Even genuine selfless motives doesn't automatically make them heroic, like if they're extremists who'd accomplish that by primarily doing extreme things they'd be (typically) anti-villains, such as Takatora in Gaim wanting to preserve the human race, but doing so by committing genocide on the remaining humans not getting Sengoku Drivers (albeit he had asked for Ryoma to focus on quantity for mass Sengoku Drivers so there can be more humans saved).

Yes you can. What people should learn (including me at times) is that, it's not you alone who have hardships, anyone else can have their own hardships as well. The world doesn't revolve around you. Banjou had complained that "Sento is so selfish for focusing on his own problems... he should be focusing on my problems!", and that's entitlement (and a hypocrisy) to think that everyone should only cater to his problems.

Of course Banjou's behavior is understandable, but someone being understandable doesn't mean they get free pass for everything (which is also often used for outright villains too, like explaining their actions as in "they have bad childhood!")

Yeah, some traits like master manipulator is often seen/portrayed as an inherently bad/villainous trait (and even for heroic ones, this often applies to ethics-ignoring anti-heroes as it serves as their dark trait). But a weapon to save the day isn't only fighting/brute force, but human nature knowledge, wit, words, people skill, etc. also count. Though not only the characters, many audience seem to get used to only Sougo's idiotic demeanor to see him as cunning.

Though even that applies to Sougo somewhat too that his manipulating is one of the dark traits that can lead into him becoming Ohma Zi-O, if not moderated, shown in the Ryuki tribute 2-parter (ep. 21-22).

I can understand where DreamSword is coming from. Not in the sense that I don't like Build (I love Build), but in the sense that it reminds me a lot about how I feel with OOO. Sometimes a show just manages a near total whiff on an emotional level for a specific viewer. You can tell WHY people like it but it simply is not working for you for various reasons.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but I feel as though you're missing my overall point?

I'm not trying to debate morality or philosophy, I'm simply not digging how Buold as a show tries to really talk up Sento while talking down to Ryuga, when most of Sento's' positive traits are simply things we're told about, whereas Ryuga's' more positive traits are things we're actually shown. Meanwhile, Sento's' negatives are really downplayed whereas Ryuga's' are condemned almost every episode. It's an issue of Telling and not Showing.

Not trying to talk down to you. Just attempting to clear up some things.

Thanks for that. And yeah, as much as I love both Kuuga and OOO, I'll fully admit that they're very much the type of shows where if the first handful of episodes aren't jiving with you, they don't really do much to try and change your mind, for better or worse.

Watched Episode 0 for Outsiders. Was an okay start. Disappointed Smart Queen was only here to job to Genm.

Still seriously confused as to how Ohja is still around. Motherfucker literally has 2 different endings, and neither let him be a rider again. He's either dead, or his timeline as a rider was reset so that he never became one.

While the same argument can be made about Ryuki himself in the various crossovers, the big difference is that he doesn't have numerous specials focused around Shinji's return specifically.

Also, the idea of Ohja Survive is terrifying, and I hope it actually pays off.

Unrelated, this would've also been the perfect opportunity to bring back G4. His whole deal was that it's AI basically took over the user. Making it so G4 just straight up takes control of a Humagear would be a great way to bring it back as well as expand on it's AI.

Up through episode 22 of Build. Here are some off-the-cuff cliffnotes on how I felt during this little section of the show.

Really not a fan of the constant gaslighting here. So many characters, even Sento himself, insist that Sento is the one responsible for the war, when that's not even remotely true, and arguably even worse than that, when Hazard Trigger comes around and it's time for the final bout with Grease, Sento proceeds to gaslight Misora into thinking that she's just as responsible as he is for everything going on. Stand up guy.

Speaking of that final bout, it really should've been Grease vs Cross-Z Charge, considering that both the suits and the characters in them have a very blatant duality thing going on between them. But no, it instead goes to Build, because Hazard Trigger I guess.

Heck, as much fame among fans as the Hazard Trigger debut episode has, I felt incredibly let down by it. The form itself really doesn't do much to stand out from other Berserk forms I've seen in Rider, and the sequence itself goes by really quick. Not helping is how easily the form is beaten both in the episode itself as well as in the "Raising the Hazard Level" specials, which only proceeds to undermine its supposed power more.

That said, the main reason I was let down by that episode was the death of Aoba. Because see, I ended up feeling way more for Grease and the Three Crows than I did any other character so far. They group have a fun dynamic together, their character moments are very strong by comparison, and their friendship as a group actually feels genuine. Heck, there's a scene where they're all just kinda hanging out and having fun together, something that Sento and Banjo, the supposed "best match" have yet to have. I was actually legit let down that Grease ended up losing to Build in the end, and that scene with Grease reflecting on his fallen friend got way more out of me than the leads have. So, yeah, when Aoba died, rather than "Oh my god, Sento's gone off the deep end!" all I could think was "Wow, I was just starting to like these characters and now one of them is dead. Great."

Outside of those highlights, it's basically just been more of the same so far in terms of how I'm interpreting what the show is presenting me. It has a few moments here and there, but it's still nothing great for me.

Yes, Grease and the Three Crows have great dynamics and they really look like real people, but I think we should not forget that they are essentially occupiers. No wonder the show forked out on a crying, frightened extras a few episodes earlier. Sabela got so much backlash for capturing Sophia, but Grease and his friends essentially did the same with a third of Japan (yes, it looks like a couple of blocks because of the budget, but nonetheless). So I also felt sorry for Aoba, but at the same time, I can't call his death undeserved, and for me, Sento's reaction was rather excessive. Although, also understandable.

I mean, if we're going by the plot, Japan itself is already divided into thirds, so if Grease and co somehow captured a third of it, wouldn't that have marked a total victory for Hokuto over Toto? Regardless, if they had somehow captured a big chunk of Hokuto, I missed that part. But even still, they're just soldiers doing their duty. It's not something to be super upset over.

I'm not really sure how much territory the Hokutos have taken over, but judging by how confident they feel in the territory they've taken and the inability of Toto's leadership to seriously oppose them, I think it's quite a lot. I agree about the soldier's duty, but in the same way, every inhabitant of the country has the right to attack a foreign invader on his own land. In a sense, the same Aqaba was quite pleased with himself firing rockets at skyscrapers, so the inhabitants of Toto have reason to hate these guys and wish them to get out of the sky wall at least as soon as possible.

Yeah, and I'm not saying that Toto doesn't have the right to fight back. All I'm saying is that me, as a viewer, has no real reason to dislike the Grease Gang for their characterization so far, as opposed to the two leads of Build, of which I've felt had some real shortcomings in terms of their writing/dynamic.

After weeks of putting it off, I’m finally back on watching Kamen Rider Den-O. At least I'm now closer to the introduction to this show's secondary Rider since I'm now up to episode 17.

Early Den-O's pacing is kind of an issue. I appreciate the slow roll-out of the Imagin, but the pattern of New Imagin two-parter, New Imagin focus two-parter, New Imagin two-parter, New Imagin focus two-parter, etc. does get old before it runs its course.

Aoba must be stopped, but not necessarily killed. Sento'd hope to stop Aoba without killing him, especially that KR usually had fighters being normal humans outside henshin, but his Hazard form goes overboard to outright kill (and he was still the one who activated it).

Regarding the explanation of "soldiers doing their duty", what'd you think it's a situation where one crosses the line while being soldiers?

This is clear. Sento literally stated his motivation in plain text, that he was against killing and did not want the riders to be weapons. I meant that killing Aoba is still something different than if Sento attacked a civilian or Banjo. Even eliminating Hazard's form, any court would justify his actions as a war between their countries. Even Grease doesn't judge him. However, one's own conscience is much more strict and pitiless than any arguments of reason.

Now up through episode 33 of Build. I feel like the wiki has very much mislabeled the start and end points of these arcs.

Anyway, the Rogue miniseries was literally just torture porn, so not my thing at all, and even from a storytelling perspective, it doesn't tell us anything the show itself doesn't already, so watching it felt like a waste of time.

As for the arc itself, I felt that, for the most part, that it was basically just a repeat of the previous two but on fast forward. Fighting the other country, the other Crows dying off(so now all I have is Grease, thanks), more bottles being brought in at lightning speed, etc.

Which, by the way, I've noticed that this show is really bad at handling its forms in general. Every new suit it introduces is effective for maybe three episodes at max before getting completely outclassed. Heck, even the FullFull Bottle is stonewalled by Hard Guardians a mere episode after it gets done making a joke of Rogue who was previously making a joke of every other suit beforehand and etc. Like, look, I get it, there's an arms race going on, but it doesn't exactly make for compelling storytelling the way it's presented. Atleast not for me.

Side note here: My headcanon for Tsukasa was that he had short-term memory loss. My headcanon for Sento is that he is actually delusional, given how often his actual behavior clashes not only with his alleged "smart guy" position as well as how even the plot kinda undermines any sort of characterization he does get. Such as his dumb stunt about "betraying the country" so he can steal Pandora's Box, which is two minutes later rendered meaningless.

Character dynamics are definitely weird in general for this show. I've already voiced my feelings about how this show favors its plot more than its characters, a recent example being Gentoku's' complete 180 towards the end of the arc for like no reason, but the biggest point of confusion for me is actually Grease/Kazumi. I noticed that, when it comes to the "lesser" scenes involving the characters simply interacting, which in turn gives development, all of those are with him and Banjo. Meanwhile, all of the "major" scenes, which do nothing but advance plot and/or action sequences are between Kazumi and Sento. It's such a strange imbalance and really, I have a way easier time believing that Kazumi and Banjo are close friends rather than Banjo and Sento, which in turns makes the big scenes between Sento and Kazumi feel really forced(like the action scene where the spirits of the Crows are cheering them on).

Tying into that, the rare times this show tries to do humor feels incredibly off-tone due to just how much drama is going on with every episode, which is not helped in that it really doesn't match my sense of humor. The couple of fourth wall breaks especially feel out of left field in a show like this.

But back to character specifics, Banjo's' stuff also kinda confuses me in terms of thematics. Him being an alien and using that to pose the question of if he qualifies as human feels like another repeat, given that the show already posed this question in terms of the Nebula Gas experiments, of which alot of people in the cast have already gone through(him included). And when it comes to Cross-Z Magma, while it is a cool form, shouldn't Grease be the one with the fire-focused form, given that he all the time talks about how his passion and soul are ablaze? Feels like a misstep.

In the end, it's clear that this show's' primary focus is just on being a geopolitical war drama, and really, I can get much better example's' of that in the average entry of the Gundam franchise. Is Build out and out horrible? No, but outside of Grease, it just really hasn't been doing much for me. Might take a break from it to watch Black Sun, since that dropped recently and has my interest piqued.

But hey, to give the plot some credit, the Sky Wall finally has some sort of real purpose, so there's that atleast.

But the wiki's information is never wrong! :p

Unfortunately for Sento, being a big IQ genius doesn't automatically come with wisdom to apply it, so he's still prone to acts of idiocy like overthinking which Full Bottles are Best Matches cause the labels are too obvious for him to accept at face value. That's why he's able to play the funny man to Ryuuga's straight man in their intro comedy routines.

There is a reason, it's just poorly explained and seemingly contradicting, unless you have a firm grasp on how nebula gas reacts to Hazard Level. Anybody with a level lower than 3 exposed to the gas is corrupted, so Gentoku raising his Hazard Level to get stronger had the ironic side effect of negating the same corruption that motivated him to get stronger. Just like Mutsuki trying to use King Form.

Rare? One of Build's major appeals for a lot of people is the juxtaposition between dark drama and humorous character interactions. I can't recall a single episode of this show where there isn't some kind of joke or someone goofing around. This also fits in to the philosophical question of how such a fragile ideal as love and peace can survive in a world filled with war and suffering. The fact that our tragic heroes always bounce back from despair and continue to enjoy the little happiness in their lives is a sign of their resilience! Maybe the specific type of humor isn't for you, but I have to disagree that the humor is misplaced in this show.

"Cool" is a very inappropriate adjective to describe Cross-Z Magma, haha. I like the design, but I think it should've kept a little more of Cross-Z Dragon's original navy color. Grease's motif is robot, basically a type of computer, which react badly to high temperatures, so that's probably why Cross-Z is the one who gets the fiery power-up instead as dragons are known for their impressive magma-proof scales. It's not like Ryuuga isn't hotblooded as well, so I think it suits him just fine. Regarding the reveal of Ryuuga being 1/3 alien, while the question of his humanity is part of the angst, there's also the question of whether or not he's corrupted by his alien heritage, like how Gou loathingly called himself the "son of a monster". Of course, Sento casually told Ryuuga about the news without any fanfare, so the whole point is that everybody still sees him the same way.

Maybe I'm misremembering, but wasn't it established that you at minimum had to have a Hazard Level of 3 to use Blood Stalk and Night Rogue?

But whatever, if that's the explanation they wanna go with, then sure I guess.

I'd say rare yes. Outside of the intro bits every episode, it seems that about 98% of every given episode is filled with angst or war drama. The only exceptions really being the first few episodes, but that very quickly goes away. It's another reason why the character building of Grease and the Crows sticks out to me so much; It was a surprisingly light moment in a show filled with drama and existential dread.

I suppose that's also why Blood Stalk/Evolto stands out so much in comparison to everyone else, really.

That makes sense. If nothing else, I am glad that Magma's' main weapon is a knuckle. It was so odd to me that Base Cross-Z gave a sword to the guy who's supposed to be a pro boxer.

I believe there was some kind of rumour that one of Build's best matches was a music-based form and that the Beat Crosser was to be that form's weapon. I forget if it's one of those things we had actual leaks and credence for or if it's just speculation, but it makes sense when nothing about the Beat Crosser lines up with Cross-Z at all.

Still... cool sword!

Rumor or no, that actually makes alot of sense. Would also explain why the Lock Fullbottle kinda just doesn't factor into anything at all despite being the form's' Best Match(unless you count that one time he summoned chains, I guess?).

The sword in and of itself is very cool though, yeah.

Yeah, I really do have to agree with this and I say this as somebody that really liked Kintaros' and Ryuutaros' introductions to the series. Thankfully, the show did start picking things up for me from the Wolf Imagin two-parter onwards. I'm currently up to episode 24 and I'm already very close to the show's halfway point.

As said before regarding the Hazard Levels, yeah, sometimes there are characters who spent most of their times not being themselves in audience's eyes (which some people, not you or in KR fanbase, can deny due to making the characters "less complex" in their eyes, still headcanon though), though this also can be their existing negative traits being amplified so much that they became much more malicious and different, which is many of the war criminals being under Hazard Level influence like Hokuto PM. Though I do agree that Gentoku turning ultra-goofy part is a 180 change and not really into that either, they can turn him good without being "OOC" like that, goofy isn't inherent part of being good. Maybe to keep including him in the comedy, they can have him play comically serious role.

And I'm hoping that I can find more "encyclopedic" info regarding Rider serieses that surpassed the wikis. But so far I only found akinoame's Ryuki and OOO analysis, and I guess also Fish's Kuuga rewatch. I found a Build one almost, but it stopped at middle part at ep. 22.

I'd agree that Build's humorous character interactions between the main cast are quite light-hearted, and theirs can be considered resilience. But as in like said before, humor isn't inherently light-hearted, or being a part love and peace. Like there's also black comedy or comedic sociopathy, when any toxic and crude behaviors are considered funny, as long as it's happening to someone else (and partly because you aren't affected; not putting themselves in their shoes), and those actions being justified because of being hilarious without any regards to the victims where it don't matter as much as the comedic or entertainment value in those behaviours. As Mel Brooks put it: "Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die".

But even more there's also lies the deceptive power of humor, the troublesome nature of the joke content; If someone confronts a joke-teller, or speaking out against even mild forms of inappropriate behavior, there's a risk of being shamed for being over-sensitive and refusing to play along (phrases like "can't you take a joke", "you must be fun at parties"), the pressure to play along to avoiding social exclusion or ridicule as humor is also a form of social dominance. And this can send false feedback that any of those people, they can shamelessly get away from what they did due to normalizing those acts.

I just finished watching Movie Wars Mega Max movie and I practically loved every single minute of the film and I can easily see why this is one of the best, if not the best, Kamen Rider crossover movies that has ever been made. Plus, I now know what Kamen Rider season/series I’m planning to watch next after finishing up on Den-O and it’s Fourze since I’ve already seen W and OOO and I've been meaning to watch this series at some point anyway.

Yes, cool movie.

Kamen Rider Saber - Trio of Deep Sin!

I may have forgotten this existed, but finaly got round to it. Pretty good, all things considered. Given the chance to breathe, it's very melancholic, with all 3 of the main cast given a chance to shine (less Rintaro though, his portion feels the most rushed). Do I understand what happened at the end? Ehhhhhhh about 40%. But I get the emotional point of it - Touma really did connect with that kid as his protector and dad and prove he does care about the "little people".

Also icey Falchion looks cool.

So I just finished Kamen Rider V3 it was pretty good. Feels like a more focused version of the OG and those last 10 episodes with Riderman was the shot in the arm needed what fantastic follow up.

Update

Watching all Rider shows VIA You Tube on the Toku Channel.
