When you gaze into the Kamen Rider Die Watches thread, sometimes the Kamen Rider Die Watches thread gazes back. Hilarious!

I've always tried to be upfront about how subjective I think art is, and how the last thing anyone can ever do is convince someone that they've experienced art wrong, but it probably bears repeating here, after I've dismissed whole swathes of narrative and given a Kai-esque shrug to attempts at clarification. I totally get what you're saying about the murkiness of Den-O's plot being a positive, even if I can't access that emotion when I watch it. There's a fairytale aspect to Den-O as a series, where things happen because it feels like they should. It's a series that is Evocative in a way few other shows are, and that attribute is always going to be given different values by different viewers. I can appreciate that.

That said, OOO is best Kobayashi. OOO is your favorite, like it's everybody's favorite. Please correct your original post.
