Through some sort of arcane magicks, the torrent I was using to download some old specials actually pulled through, so I finally got to watch the All Together! Seven Kamen Riders!! special.

It was. Not really worth going out of my way to watch, but eh.

Pretty much just a 45 minute series of recaps of the first five Rider shows. A chunk of which I skipped, since you know, spoilers and all that...what little actual new content there was wasn't horribly interesting, but it's nice that all seven Riders were actually present in person, and as a sort of send-off to the franchise (at the time) and, in a sense, to Tachibana as a character, it's not bad.

edit: Hm. Also watched the Immortal Kamen Rider special. Unlike the previous one, it wasn't mostly recap...but only because, straight up, like 30 out of this 45 minute special was the second V3 movie. Literally just a movie, within a special. The rest of it was recaps though.

Not very exciting, to be honest, but I guess I can see why they made this.

Most surprising thing about it was hearing the name "Skyrider" used before the show aired. No one even calls him that in the show until the 20's, I was convinced it was something they came up with after the fact when they had to distinguish him from the other Riders, but I guess they were calling him that for that very purpose from the beginning. Shows what I know. (nothing, it turns out.)
