Yeah, I mostly don't know if I'm supposed to be looking at Japanese Bozo, or Japanese Seinfeld. Is this goofy kids stuff? Or mass market cultural zeitgeist stuff?

I really like Vice's Zero-One makeover on the show, but there's no denying that an Is-themed version wouldn't be more fitting. I'm not mad, though! I'm just trying to give them some advice! Is that okay?

Also, thanks for the fun skit!

I am very heroic in my dedication to watching shows even when they disappoint me, yes, thank you.

No, but seriously, I'm only speaking for my desire to see the best in these shows. No one owes a series more time than they already gave it, and Honoring A Kamen Rider Show isn't some societal good that's worth ruining your leisure time. Totally cool to put a pin in something that isn't clicking with you, maybe even for good.

And congrats on 1700 posts!
