I mean, I actually find it a bit unnerving, that "dead parents" is so commonplace that nobody bats an eye at it. It's expected for people to be alone when it comes to relatives.

Also, serious problem right off the bat: I'm watching the scene where Blade and the obnoxious guy go back to his shitty house and I am totally lost. Both these guys sound virtually the same, look virtually the same, and act virtually the same. Thus, what would normally be enjoyable, quick repetoire between characters is fucking befuddling. Who's who? Who's saying waht? WHAT's being said? All I know is ONE is completely unlikable... but I can't tell which anymore.

Kamen Rider loves to screw with families.
Hopefully you'll get used to it, the problem with the first few eps is that everything happens so fast that it's almost impossible to tel who's who.

Tadaima! *Facepalm*
