Aw, thanks! I still got a series overview I want to do (this show definitely feels like it needs one) and a self-indulgent (what's the difference?) post-script. Then a few days off, then Faiz.

There have been times I've wanted to recommend Kamen Rider to friends, but they've got hard rules about stories needing to feature women in narratively useful ways (good rules!), and it's like... Amazons? Maybe? Fourze, to a decent if still non-major degree? (Like, Nadeshiko debuting to cutie-pie poses and butt bumps, what the hell Fourze.) It's a huge flaw in this franchise, the seeming reluctance to center stories on women's journeys. Like, if/when they announce a year-long Kamen Rider series with a woman as the primary Rider, I am going to lose my shit.
