[Kamen Rider Die]

I wonder if there was some Japanese schoolkid who had this as their first-ever Kuuga episode. Turn on the TV, and there's all this action and excitement for a half-hour. You can't believe it. Eyes wide, jaw hanging. The next day at school, it's all you can talk about. This superhero fighting so many monsters and he's changing colors all the time, and it's the best thing ever. The next week, you race out of bed, throw yourself in front of the TV... and get to watch people decipher runes on a computer and talk about monsters in a conference room and maybe if you're lucky see someone make curry. That kid must've been crestfallen.

I'm kidding, mostly. I can't imagine a kid who liked the clip show would've been disappointed with the next episode. (I honestly don't remember what it was, but it probably wasn't terrible. There's still Kuuga in it, you know?) I just think it'd be funny to see this one and assume every other one was going to be just like it. The whiplash of pacing between a clip show and regular Kuuga... seems like it could result in a few kids wondering what happened!
