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.
