(I would like to imagine this in my head with the theme tune to ITV's National Television Awards circa 1996-2008!)

Favorite New Show of 2020

Mashin Sentai Kirameiger

Favorite New-to-You Show of 2020

Choujuu Sentai Liveman (I put Megaranger because it was last thing at night here then I remembered that was this year too, d'oh!)

Favorite Rewatch of 2020

Mirai Sentai Timeranger(Rare for me to rewatch stuff and it’s been soon after originally finishing it as I’ve started a new thing of rewatching certain toku from 10,20,30 years ago etc!)

Favorite Movie of 2020

I’m terrible at keeping up with this stuff so Kamen Rider Zi-O Over Quartzer will have to be the closest!

Favorite Male Lead Character

Devon Daniels/Beast Morphers Red(This year hasn’t been too good for male characters that I can think of!)

Favorite Female Lead Character

Sena Hayami/KirameiGreen

Favorite Male Supporting Character

Takamichi/KirameiSilver

Favorite Female Supporting Character

(Depends what counts as supporting seeing as she is still essentially one of the main riders lol) Yua Yaiba/Kamen Rider Valkyrie

Favorite Villain

Yodonna

Favorite Returning Past Character

Jason Lee Scott in PRBM(I think he was in 2020, could have had a more full morph sequence though! Controversial opinion:I always preferred Jason to Tommy so make of that what you will!)

Favorite Actor

(Begrudgingly) Fumiya Takahashi as Hiden Aruto/Kamen Rider Zero-One (Although I don’t like the character I have to give him credit for playing that character development towards the end!)

Favorite Actress

Yume Shinjo as Sena Hayami/KirameiGreen (I just really want female greens to catch on and she is an awesome character!)

I’m afraid I am not too knowledgeable about favourite writers or directors even now! I know I like a lot Yasuko Kobayashi’s done and that’s basically it!

Favorite Suit Design

I suppose Kamen Rider Valkyrie or Vulcan if I had to choose, I’m not too great at having opinions on details like that though!

Favorite Weapon/Vehicle/Mecha

Mashin Zabyun has a nice helmet!

Favorite Fight Scene

KirameiSilver’s debut and first fight.

Favorite Dramatic Scene

In Beast Morphers when Doctor K actually gave Nate an awesome lecture!

Favorite Comedic Scene

Though maybe not the spirit of things, possibly Yua punching Amatsu Gai, I think I had wanted to do it a lot by then!

Biggest "WTF did I just watch?" Moment

(I can’t actually think of one this year, sorry! Sometimes it’s just hard to remember everything!)

Favorite Song

Yohei Onishi-Mashin Sentai Kirameiger(There are other good songs in the show but it's cool enough and does it's job)

Favorite Piece of Merchandise

(I tend not to buy any in general these days, sorry!)

Biggest Surprise of 2020

Actually coming round to Zero-One more by the end of the show and getting to tolerate Aruto more, I didn’t mind him when he was being serious, giving speeches etc, it was just mainly his voice that annoyed me and weirdly I ended up missing Zero-One when Saber was slightly too boring which I didn’t expect!

Biggest Disappointment of 2020:

I suppose unfortunately I can only give it to Saber. I just wasn’t in the mood to put up with that guy at the start (Tassel) after I eventually found I didn’t care much about the actual riders as well! Again I’m not saying I’ll never finish it but I just thought given this weird year we’ve had I just found it to be a lot of time for not much reward right at this moment.

The Onari Memorial Award for Single Worst Thing in 2020 Tokusatsu:

I think just that period when there were no regular episodes of Kirameiger on air which was unavoidable was a bit depressing, it’s not like it’s a perfect show, it still has it’s weaker elements but it’s strong compared to Ryusoul and LuPat in my opinion. I still don’t like the villains other Yodonna though and I’ve always hated the design of the Crystalians, I just don’t see how they’re meant to be cute IMO!
