[Steel A Jeeg]

I was always a fan of the original Kamen Rider, based on his design and his saturation in Japanese pop-culture (anybody that's played fighting games in the 90's will tell you, there were a ton of Rider references!) but I never got a chance to see his show. The first actual Kamen Rider ANYTHING I saw was a fansub from Chinatown in NYC of X's movie, "The Five Riders vs. King Dark"

Then, I managed to get some of the original series on VHS. Unsubtitled, wayyyyy back in the day. When that kind of thing was common in comic book stores. The first series I ever saw fansubbed, all the way through, was Hibiki! Years and years later. But by that point, I had seen a bunch of shows raw.

It's so nice that the franchise is getting so much attention these days, and so many series are getting translated!
