"Apples and Oranges" hardly seems to cover it.

Kamen Rider is for kids, produced IN IT'S ENTIRETY in under a year. A 49 episode series, plus the two movies that need to

I don't complain about the practical effects because it's all there, someone had to build that, they had to plan it and test it and put in heart, imagination and brains into making it work.

And what, CGI modellers just stick their thumbs up there asses and the computer does everything?

Do you even know how CGI works? It's not as easy as you think.

I may despise the Megazord sections in Power Rangers for example but I will always ALWAYS appreciate dudes in boxes flattening cardboard cities, over cheap and static animation some dude did on his laptop lazily edited over the footage, because yeah the Megazord stuff may look crap but someone actually went away and built all of that, it would have taken planning, imagination, time and a love for what you do to make it all work and that to me is the most important thing.

Guess what Kamen Rider also does?

Jeez, it's like you're completely oblivious to all the practical effects ALREADY IN THE SHOW. Like, do you think the entire show is CGI or something? Kamen Rider is 80% practical effects, with CGI picking up the slack for the stuff they don't have time or money to produce because they spent it all making the suits and stuff already in the show.

Whatever this magical astounding indie 80's film you've yet to mention is, I doubt it had to do half the shit Kamen Rider has to in half the time any kind of film has.

Action League Now is more convincing than that.
