I went and rewatched these episodes really quick (and then binged on a few random other Blade scenes afterwards) and yeah, still can't believe I didn't remember any of this! Funny thing is that superhero hijinks mixed with running a food stall doesn't sound like it'd be too out of place as a premise for a Kamen Rider season of today either.

I have a soft spot for Noir For Kids, when someone's using crime tropes but tweaking it just slightly so it's goofy enough for kids to be entertained by.

For the food stall Kamen Rider premise, that is definitely what they should've done with the Specter movie. They'd already set up that Alain opened up a takoyaki stand, right? Missed opportunity!

Also, hey friends, today's my one-year anniversary on these boards. It's been a year of talking about a variety of Japanese superhero TV shows (the names escape me) and tiny plastic action mans. This community has been outstanding, welcoming me in and letting me be consistently weird about the Kamen Rider franchise. Thank you all so much for a fantastic year. (Only in the sense of participating in discussions on TokuNation; the rest of it has been an unmitigated shitshow.) Thank you for being people I now consider friends. I'm very much looking forward to another few years of talking about these shows with you.

Looking back, though, there's one thing I'm maybe proudest of, one post that still cracks me up when I think about it. Self-indulgently, here's my favorite post from the past year:
