I'm planning to rewatch that after Masked Rider. I figure things can't get any worse than that

Why you ask? Because I've decided to destroy my childhood one episode at a time and rewatch Saban's Masked Rider.

Thoughts on the first 2 episodes
- Edenoi looks like a pretty boring planet to rule over, no wonder Dregon has his sights set on Earth
- I'd completely forgotten the Leawood school set was Angel Grove High
- Dex can somehow magically bring superpowered vehicles into existance, but completely sucks at fighting monsters.
- The maggots look pretty cool, its just a shame they are an utter joke.
- And the usual Furbus sucks etc etc.

All in all a successful watch I think

The monster from the second episode, Larvatron, is my all-time favorite Kamen Rider Kaijin. When he gets his head kicked off AND THE SECOND HEAD GROWS OUT OF HIS BODY, OMG I mark out every time.

That guy was awesome. Shame the episode didn't really do very much with him.

Anyway just finished episodes 7 and 8 - the Super Gold 2-parter. Not-Shadow Moon came into it much sooner than I remembered, as did the gold powers.

I do like the little nod that they renamed Shadow Moon "Roborider", but I have little else positive to say so far

Oh I loved it as a kid too, but this show holds up far worse than most American-adapted toku. The editing is extremely sloppy (so much that this show stars both Dex and Kotaro), there's barely any fight sequences in it (and what there has been so far often uses the same stock footage) and the characters are either dull, stereotypes or both.

That being said I'd probably buy a DVD release too. Because I'm weak.

VR Troopers episodes 8 & 9 -- Computer Captive & Kaitlin's Little Helper. Two more goofy episodes of the Metal Hero adaption. Computer Captive was actually pretty neat thanks to the episode of Metalder which is adapted. JB is captured and held prisoner in the Virtual Dark Fortress, so Ryan goes in to rescue him. So we get to see Ryan fighting through the Fortress against Grimlord's army. So that's just cool right there.

Kaitlin's Little Helper has a similar note in that the adapted footage is really neat, but it's from Speilban. JB has to fight the Gunslinger robot, who looks like a mutant version of a Clint Eastwood Western hero.



This show is a ton of fun for me, really brings me back to my youth. Fast and easy and not really taxing on the noodle.
