I've always thought that Shin was an interesting re-imagining of Kamen Rider in theory, but in practice it was an enormous mess.

With that said, I've also decided to watch teh first episodes to a variety of Kamen Rider series today of ones I have never seen. At this moment I watched the first episode to X and to Stronger. I think the villains to X are pretty awesome from the first episode. Love the fact that the first monster was based off Poseidon (using the Roman name), so I hope that trend continues throughout the entire series (of course, that is the only episode that seems to be subbed). I'm not too found of the characters themselves right now, but it shows promise.

X is a fun show. I've wanted to see the full thing for awhile now, but Order of Zeronos (unsurprisingly) dropped the sub project and the only raws I can find are hosted on the slowest damn filesharing site I've ever seen. The Roman villains do last for much of the series, but by the end they get replaced by monsters that combine animals and historical figures (like the infamous Starfish Hitler).

Next up will be the first episodes to Skyrider and Super-1, so the only things I'm missing are Amazon and V3. I've also downloaded the ZX and J movies.

The Hi No Tori Amazon subs should be up at krdl. For V3 you'll need to find the official dvd release.
