I've always like New Den-O, but... but I could not tell you why.

I did at some point literally count him as one of my favourite Riders and one of the few I'd want a Seihou SHF of. Something about him drew me to him, which is weird, because... because basically all his starring roles have been anywhere from forgettable to didn't-like for me in retrospect, when I actually think about it? And this review is very much making me come to terms with that because I agree with just about every word said! I didn't hate it quite as much, I wouldn't even class it as one of my 10 least favourite rider movies or anywhere near that as much as I'd say it was middling; but nothing about it compelled me and some of the stuff with that one-off family was just a bit weird, yeah! It's essentially a boring do-over of New Den-O's first outing, and...

and... why do I like this guy? Is it just in concept? Is it because he has a sick design? Is it because I like future riders? Because OOO/Den-O was one of my first Rider movies and I thought he was Den-O's actor and final form at the time and to this day it's one of my favourite Rider movies? ... maybe a combination of all four? Is this just me venting at this point? I have so many questions!

This is just not a great movie, and not even one I like, and yet. "I Like New Den-O" is so ingrained in my mind when there's nothing about him I like or nothing special about him. My mind is doing loops tonight
