Since I am a person who makes good decisions, I watched Super Hero Taisen GP and the accompanying Kamen Rider 4 specials with little sleep at ungodly hours.

I really liked them both, and they really have to be taken together to make sense out of anything. The main movie was fairly cool, and it was hard not to be super excited by all the returning actors. It's worth it for the fanservice alone! Then comes the embarrassing part. If you know me, you know I'm a blatant Faiz fan and long story short the Kamen Rider 4 part reduced me to tears. Poor, poor Takumi, he can't even catch a break over 10 years after his show is over, although it was certainly true to the tone of the original show to be as cruel as friggin' possible. And did they really have to use the camera shots framed through torn netting like the final episodes of Faiz were so fond of!? It's like they made this thing to get as much of a rise out of me as possible. I need to go to sleep... Dekaranger vs Gavan tomorrow hopefully!
