Best New Show of 2018

I would say Build, but that came out last year, so it'll have to be SSSS.Gridman

Best New-to-You Show of 2018

Probably Gekiranger. It had a great serialised story, great characters and we'll developed villains. I wish more Sentai had it's story structure.

Best Rewatch of 2018

Didn't rewatch anything this year, or not often really.

Best Movie of 2018

Heisei Generations Final. While I wasn't the biggest fan of Dr Pacman (Almost non existing story, boring action, and No Kouta), this one gave me what I wanted (Good story, great action and Kouta). Not only that, it actually gave some development to Ryuga on what he'll will fight for as a Kamen Rider. Plus has to two great casts from two great series made this No.1 for me

Best Male Lead

Sento. Even though he encompasses every male rider lead, he stands out from a lot of them. He's intelligent, has a great and funny personality, plus has an ego that's not obnoxious from other characters.

Best Female Lead

Tsukasa (Patren 3). Mostly for being insanely competent and level headed (Seriously, why isn't she the leader of the Pats)

Best Male Supporting Lead

Ryuga. He may be a secondary rider, but he was just as imported as a main one. He stuck by his friends no matter what and was just an all round awesome rider.

Best Female Supporting Lead

Can't really think of any ATM, sorry

Best Villain

Evolt. A cunning mastermind all through out, and also a very charismatic one too

Best Returning Past Character

Even though I was very happy that my favourite rider Kouta came back on not only Final, but Zi-O, It has to go to Tsukasa from Decade. He's a rider that just does what ever the hell he wants, and I love it. Plus he made Zi-O watchable and enjoyed him smacking around the Zi-O riders.

Best Actor

Atsuhiro Inukai AKA Sento Kiryu. To think he got his start in a KR show, and he knocks it out the park in his show. The stand out for me was the PTSD episode, you can really feel the guilt and defeat in him, and he pulled it off great.

Best Actress

Kaho Takada AKA Misora. Not only does she have good comedic timing, she has really good dramatic scenes. The scene with Sento with the Proto Genius Bottle and telling him not to throw his life like that was a stand out, where she delivered the anger and sadness in it.

Toku Crush of 2018

Umika or Tsukasa in LuPat. Oh God I can't choose.

Best Writer

Shogo Muto. Not only great storytelling but great comedic moments

Best Director

Kazuya Kamihoriuchi. The episodes he directs of Build have some terrific cinematography and shots, plus great action, especially episode 21 of Build

Best Suit Design

Build RabbitRabbit form

Best Weapon/Veichle/Mecha

Ehhh, I don't think there were any that stood out so pass

Best Fight Scene

Hazard Form's first fight

Best Dramatic Moment

Episode 21 of Build, all of it

Best Comedic Scene

Kazumin's towel scene

Biggest "WTF Did I Just Watch" Moment

Episode 45 of LuPat, all of it

Best Song

LuPat theme song

Biggest Surprise of 2018

Kouta's cameo in ep 10 of Zi-O

Biggest Disappointment of 2018

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: True Ending. For a movie billing itself as the true ending, it didn't really have any sense of closure to anything. Another Ending was the real true ending of Ex-Aid, funny how that works out. If True Ending was called Another Ending, and Another Ending was called True Ending, It wouldn't have been so bad

The Onari Memorial Award for Single Worst Thing in 2018 Tokusatsu

The Another Rider concept. While it is cool that they went with twisted evil versions of Kamen Riders as the main monsters of the show, I'm not a big fan of the whole "Past Rider's show never happened" thing. It makes it feel like you were wasting your time watching the other Rider shows, on how much crap they went through to get their ending and then to just erase it like that. The reason we love those riders was because of their development and how they grew over their own shows, without that, you rob them on what made them special.
