I love that show, it’s basically the spiritual sequel to Kamen Rider Hibiki.

Been watching the movie Rise! Dharuriser!

It's fun. Kind of reminds me of KR Amazons in the scenery and filmography, but a lot more heartfelt and wholesome.

Okay, what exactly am I looking at here? I could tell his buddy is a dog, but what exactly is this supposed to be?

If I remember correctly he’s a crayfish. There’s an episode that covers the origin stories of all the major onbake later on in the series.

Going back to this reply, it does feel like I'm watching a Rider series. Taihei himself looks like a Rider. I was expecting something like Ultraman with Daimajin fighting giant monsters in each episode, but so far 9 episodes in and Daimajin hasn't awakened yet.

Oh s***, that's right, Daimajin Kanon exists! 26 episodes? Between Die starting a Hibiki thread sometime in the near future and my newfound appreciation for Shigenori Takatera after rewatching Kuuga, it might actually be time for me to get around to it!

Man, I don't really keep up with that sort of thing, but yeah, I'd totally be right there to tell everyone the good news if the fabled day ever comes along where we can all enjoy how amazingly terrible Kingler is together.

It’s a really good show and a surprisingly on-point allegory for what happened to Hibiki and its creators.

I forgot about Daimajin Kanon, I kind of gave up after the first episode at the time though, I mean some of those non-henshin hero toku I don't mind, like I quite liked Gouraigan, the Yoshihiko shows are funny what I've seen of them and Keitai Sousakan 7 looked interesting but others just don't seem to click with me for some reason. I might give D.K. another try one day though now that I think about it! Was it really 10 years ago now though?!

Okay, Daimajin Kanon. Went in expecting Daimajin, ended more like a Rider series if the main character was not a Rider.

It's a slow burner, plot threads went nowhere, Daimajin was barely a thing, the ending was not satisfactory, and please God, stop the singing!
