Ha ha, yeah, I keep forgetting to mention that! I think TV-Nihon must've fired the "equipper" intern.

"User", you know, it's fine. It feels very dry and functional, which is what I'd expect from a serious institution. I don't (angrily) notice it, at least, so it's a huge step up.

I mean, the versatility of his performances are insane. The thought that one guy played so many different Riders... like, being able to do Fourze AND Agito? Those two are diametrically opposed, style-wise. And then you toss in Wizard, and Ex-Aid, and Gaim, and on and on. Crazy. Top of the mountain, for performers in Kamen Rider.
