Favorite New Show of 2020:
Ultraman Z, since it’s the only one that’s been pretty consistent throughout.

Favorite New-to-You Show of 2020
It’s a tossup between Timeranger and Metalder.

Favorite Rewatch of 2020
Since I haven’t finished my Kiva rewatch (one more episode), I’m gonna say Go-Onger

Favorite Movie of 2020
Im not exactly spoilt for choice. Next Time: Geiz, obviously.

Favorite Male Lead Character
That honour goes to Aruto, mostly for the final arc showing just how terrifying our hero can become as a big bad.

Favorite Female Lead Character
Yoko, mostly for her hilarious, yet badass personality.

Favorite Male Supporting Character
Shiguru, mostly because they dropped the ball hard with most of Zero-Ones supporting male cast and Saber’s are basically all in the “ok” box

Favorite Female Supporting Character
It would be Sayo, but she’s not really done a lot. But none of the rest strike me as really good, so she wins by default.

Favorite Villain
Eras, mostly for the sheer fact she’s the rare Tokusatsu villain that has a reasonable motive for their villainy, instead of some vague desire for power or destruction. Plus, the only other eligible candidates are minor villains or generic as all hell.

Favorite Returning Past Character
Juggles Juggler

Favorite Actor
Ryo Aoki, mostly for how he manages to sell Kento’s reactions to his changing situation.

Favorite Actress
Noa Tsurushima, once again, this time for being able to play two characters at once and make me tell they’re separate characters.

Favorite Writer
I’m gonna throw in a wild card and say Tete Inoue. I love how he manages to merge being utterly ridiculous with serious drama.

Favorite Director
Takayuki Shibisaki. He’s a guy that loves to show his chops with special effects and Saber’s first two episodes are no exception to that.

Favorite Suit Design
Blades King Lion. I just honk the lack of any varied colours helps it look more striking.

Favorite Weapon/Vehicle/Mecha
King Express. That thing is criminally underused.

Favorite Fight Scene
Difficult to say. I’ll go with Buster eliminating that Megid in one hit after his first transformation.

Favorite Dramatic Scene
Ark-One’s reveal.

Favorite Comedic Scene
Shiguru and Jurus’ manzai routine to restore Hakobu’s feelings.

Biggest "WTF did I just watch?" Moment
Slash changing personalities with his Bremen form.

Favorite Song
Kamen Rider Saber. It’s nice to have a rider song that actually feels like it was made for its home show rather than being some J-pop bait they tacked onto the soundtrack for some minor similarity in the lyrics.

Favorite Piece of Merchandise
The Seiken Swordriver, mostly for all the features it’s shown within a few months of release

Biggest Surprise of 2020
The Gekiranger cameo in Kiramager episode 27

Biggest Disappointment of 2020
Go Kiramager. After a 7 year streak of solid super modes with equally solid debuts, they go and do everything I hate to see in a Sentai power-up,

I’m not doing the last one, since it’s the same as the disappointment category.
