I'll admit, I haven't seen Super Hero Taisen, so maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's just Go-BusterOh Rocket States. Maybe the writers ignored the apartment building sized drills attached to GT-02. I don't know.

Awesome news today. Someone over at the tokufans board (formerly HJU's media matrix) found the HK subs for Kamen Rider X. The grammar is atrocious, but they work well enough to give you an idea of what's going on. X Rider is probably the one show I haven't fully seen yet that I want to finish the most, so I am totally going to watch these HKs.

I bet those are gonna be pricelessly funny. I can safely say I've never seen any X ever. I want to but when it comes to Showa riders I'd like to watch as much of one show as possible at a time. And considering just how long most Showa series are I guess I'll be waiting for some time.

On episode 17 of Blade, finally the story picks up and that Remote card is freaking op ..

Showa = longer shows is actually a misconception. Of the nine Showa series only one is significantly longer than a modern Rider series: the original Kamen Rider. V3, Skyrider, Super-1, Black, and Black RX all clock in at around the same ~48-50 episodes that the modern shows do. Meanwhile, X and Stronger have less than forty episodes each and Amazon doesn't even crack twenty-five.

Honestly, for me the real challenge of watching Showa era Rider isn't the length, it's the more episodic nature. Very few of these shows have much in the way of long-running plot arcs, which can make it harder to build up the momentum to sit through several episodes in a row. I marathoned the hell out of Agito when I first watched it, but I don't think I've ever seen more than two episodes of a Showa series in one sitting.

That said, a lot of those done-in-ones from the Showa era are really great and fun. If you want to try taking a whack at the Showa era I'd definitely recommend Black. It's fully subbed and it has a little bit of an ongoing story arc, although it doesn't do a great job of pacing it well. It has a great star, though, some excellent action scenes, and a killer soundtrack.

When I was talking about the number of episodes I was referring more to the fact that most showa series have only been partially subbed. And at the rate new episodes get released I'd be waiting for some time to watch a significant chunk of anything.

So is that episode of X included in those subs?
