Alright, just watched the first episode of Kamen Rider and I am grinning ear to ear.
First off a BIG THANKS to Steel A Jeeg and his crew at KITSUBS for subbing this series. Having gotten into tokusatsu via watching Godzilla, King of the Monsters, Ghidorah, The Three Headed Monster, Rodan, and Monster Zero when I was 4, I have a real appreciation for the "Golden Age" toku stuff. And having never seen the original Kamen Rider before, getting a chance to see it was a real treat.
Secondly, this was absolutely fantastic fun. One of my favorite elements of the Kamen Rider series is the idea that the hero is turned into some sort of monster by the Big Bad and then he has to fight them. Seeing Hongo strapped to the table while the Shocker scientists tell him that they have made him a cyborg really got me going. Such a classic set up! And the fight with SpiderMan at the end was really nice too. None of the flashy stuff like we get nowadays, just straight up fighting with some camera trickery thrown in to make things look "weird" for the monster and the Shockers.
I never put two and two together before, but man, I'd like to see a meet up of Kamen Rider and Steve Austin.
Thanks again for the sub and I will definitely be watching more!
