For me, the effects in Ryuki will always be amazing. Because it's a huge leap forward compared to Agito and Kuuga. Honestly, if there's one thing in KR's CGI that upsets me, it's the first two Heisei shows.

On the topic of budget, I tend to wonder why it seems like Toei cannot afford as much as they used to. Granted, I'm aware that the economic situation in Japan has caused a lot of people trouble. Things in general cost more nowadays, but with toy sales skyrocketing well beyond early Heisei, I'm curious about how their budgets are allocated these days.

While I would rather Kamen Rider have one movie per series instead of a winter/summer dual release, part of me thinks that the reason they stopped releasing two annual movies has to do with budget constraints too.

I prefer to think that Toei was deliberately saved money on several years to launch Project Red. Especially since the question of Super Sentai's demise remained unanswered just a year ago. But we'll see what time will tell.
