angry
piece of media that comes from a very genuine place of criticism towards the Japanese government for failing to protect the citizens it exists to protect (whether through incompetence or direct malice). It's one of my favourite pieces of Kamen Rider media easily and one that goes above and beyond what I ever expected of the genre and in fact this franchise given where else it's gone in recent years.
Yeah, I mean... I liked what Black Sun was trying to say about how governments use racism and nativism to get a blank check from a citizenry that is looking for a scapegoat, but a) I could not find a way in character-wise to what was happening, and b) it kinda has that problem Kamen Rider always has when it wants to talk about racism via kaijin where the kaijin are
legitimately
a threat to humanity. I can sorta forgive the second (it makes the metaphor messier, but not unworkable), but the first is why it's in my Watch List on Amazon for the last however many months without making any progress. Someday, though! I will finish it someday.
