Best New Show of 2018
Lupinranger VS Patranger. Yeah the toys ain't selling and show has some problems(lack of Patranger love specifically, still does not make sense how Super Patren 1 is not a thing and why it is Super Lupin X and not Super Patran X), but show has kickass fight choreo and loads of trivia for me to dig with the gangler-owned collections so I am pleased.

Best New-to-You Show of 2018
None that I could think of. Sadly.

Best Rewatch of 2018
Geed. Got bored and re-watched some random episodes and boy does it not disappoint.

Best Movie of 2018
Heisei Generations Forever. Did I see it? Not yet but I love what I am hearing so far and it is apparently a good movie and printing money I hear.

Best Male Lead Character
Keiichiro Asaka aka Patren 1. I love how they made him a hard-boiled badass who occasionally acts a fool thanks to the writers.
But when he taps into his badass cop mode he delivers.

Best Female Lead Character
Tsukasa Myojin aka Patren 3. We have not had a badass pink ranger in a while. About time.

Best Male Supporting Character
Commander Samuel Hilltop. I just love how calm he is and cares for his subordinates. Doesn't over-do things and plays it cool.

Best Female Supporting Character
Sawa Tokigawa. She may not be the next Kivala or Mai, but there were moments that her support helped Sento and crew win the day.

Best Villain
King Kuroto aka Another OOO. No explanation needed. HAIL TO THE KING BABY.

Best Returning Past Character
Tsukasa Kadoya aka Kamen Rider Decade. Ramped up his ONORE DIKEIDO game with that funky Neo Decade Driver.

Best Actor
Kouhei Takeda as Kazumin/Grease. His unexpected return to the genre is the first reason, second he shows he still got game playing a polar opposite to Otoya, and third cracked me up almost every time when he goes into otaku mode.

Best Actress
Ayana Taketatsu as the voice of Goche Ru Medou. I just like the tone she established for Goche.

Toku Crush of 2018
Tsukasa Myojin aka Patren 3. Again, badass pink ranger.

Best Writer
Kaori Kaneko for episodes 43 and 44 of Lupinranger VS Patranger

Best Director
Kazuya Kamihoriuchi for episodes 46 and 47 of Kamen Rider Build

Best Suit Design
Kamen Rider Zi-O. IT'S A ROLEX. A FREAKIN' ROLEX. Let that simmer in your brain. We've had oranges, vidja games, heck even a car, but this tops them all for me. The suit gushes swagoo.

Best Weapon/Vehicle/Mecha
Time Mazine. It's a Delorean that can transform into a robot.

Best Fight Scene
Grease Blizzard VS Clones

Best Dramatic Scene
Patrangers VS Narizma Shibonz

Best Comedic Scene
Any time Kazumin and Hotel Guy Gentoku were acting a fool together. The chemistry between the two is superb.
Particularly this scene demonstrates my point.


Biggest "WTF did I just watch?" Moment
Commander Hilltop as Axel Foley. That was... yeah... really messed with my head...

Best Song
Kamen Rider Zi-O opening theme Over-Quartzer by Shuta Sueyoshi(AAA) feat. ISSA(DA PUMP)

Best Piece of Merchandise
CSM V Buckle & Dragvisor

Biggest Disappointment of 2018
WHY YOU GIVE LUPIN X SIREN STRIKER YOU IDIOTS.

The Onari Memorial Award for Single Worst Thing in 2018 Tokusatsu
No Odagiri in Heisei Generations Forever. Glad we got Kashu, Suga, Inoue, Nishime, and Sato back but would have loved to see the news saying he will pop in.
