Been watching Skyrider in my spare time, and am currently up to episode 19.

It's been fun, though I will say that, atleast so far, there's really not much to it that makes it stand out?

Maybe it's how Super-1 really spoiled me in these regards, but alot of Skyrider comes across as very "by the numbers" at the moment. The action is basic, the villain plots(with some exceptions) aren't as intense, and the supporting cast might as well not even exist.

There are definitely some good highlights though! The Penicillian episode was extremely hardcore and a ton of fun to watch, alot of the set design is pretty solid for the time period, and I consistently find Imata's' schtick funny.

Was also surprised to see the bike mechanic from Super-1 appear here as a coffee shop owner. He looks way different without the mustache and fisherman's' cap!

Oh, and the theme song is really catchy!

But yeah, that's the initial impressions so far. I'm still having fun with the show as a whole, but compared to the other bits of Showa I've seen so far, it's a bit on the weaker side.
