Well yeah, if they care about it, I don't go around throwing oranges at people and screaming "Juicy", but most people around me know that I like toku, some have even watched it with me.

And ultimately, no matter how much you like one thing or another, that's just one aspect of your life, rude people will always find something to make fun of, but your true friends won't dislike you simply for liking a show.

It is better to be hated for who you are , than loved for who you are not. I was told that In high school many moons ago. I have lived by that phrase since then.

Never be ashamed of who you are. It is what makes you unique. ( unless you are a pedo...then shame on you )

Of course, there are a few things that no one should ever be, but thankfully being a Rider fan is far from one of them.

One time Someone saw me watching and they told me seriously? And yet this guy like pokemon! Another time when I did someone told me " you still like this sh*t? You're in highschool." I really want to watch it but the thing is I am not very popular at school and I think most people see me as a nerd and no girl I like will ever go out with me. My friend said it is nerdy as hell and I should not watch it in public until I become cool enough or something. Should i take that advice?

Dude, my parents dont care for my liking of anime/tokusastu/transformers, but they let me be me.

My friends? We all joke at me being the nerd of the group, but its fine. After middle school were I listened to a bunch of bullshit about liking Transformers, I decided freshman year to not give a shit about what others think of me. If you dont like what I am into, guess what? It is my life, let me live mine and Ill let you live yours. Im back into Power Rangers now, sure I dont bring it up all the time, but I will gladly watch it or anything else if I want in public. Hell, I wore an OOO Driver to school for Halloween, I fixed my Zeronos Belt in shop class after one of the wires came off the circuit board.

So my point? Im still in High School and I know Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, etc. is nerdy/geeky/whatever, if it is what YOU like- Then DO NOT pay attention to what others think, as long you arent hurting anyone, they shouldnt care. I know I am in High School, I know it is mostly little kids that watch this stuff, but thats complete bullshit, look at this site! Its full of adult fans of this stuff! It is OKAY to like nerdy things at ANY AGE!

As TJOmega himself said- "As long as it makes me happy, Ill keep doing it."

So do I care if anybody knows that I like this sort of stuff? HELL NO. Otherwise, you guys wouldn't even know me.

Wow, I just sit and watch it alone. Come to think of it I have never met anyone in relay life that likes KR or SS. Lucky...ish?
Anyway don't let other tell you who you are. Id hensin in fornt of the whole school if I could. And I would have the time of my life Drool...

It would be hard to hide anyway. After all, Kamen Rider is like the air you breathe to you. :P


As for me, I never really bothered to hide what I liked. I was teased for liking the Teletubbies when I was in elementary school, but I didn't really care, because I like what I liked. Later, I was a potterhead and everyone knew- they didn't care (though they had other reasons why they didn't like me). Since fifth grade, I've been an anime- and manga-nerd. People tried to pick on me because of that, but I never really bothered and they quickly stopped. After all, it's none of their business what I like and what I don't.
For this year of university, I've made some handmade files with collages of Sentai and Rider pictures. Those who see them think they're cool, even if they recognize "the Power Rangers". Also, many people know that I cosplay and they either think it's cool or they don't really care.

Seriously, being a nerd becomes less of a big deal the older your get. Just do what you think is right for you. After all, it's your business what you like.

[XW1n5t0nX]

Of course I do. No reason to hide it.

Hi guys! My name is Lewis and I am excited to talk to you guys.
I am a freshman and my class is too big for anyone to really make fun of you. It really depends on how much diversity there is. For example, I went to a middle school in a rural area and I had problems being myself. Now that I go to a school with over 2,100 kids, my interests are not as important to others. Sure, my friends may call Super Sentai "Power Rangers", but I just remind myself that it's Saban's fault (Sorry if I offended anyone). I do not go around proclaiming my love for Toku, but I will never hide it from anyone. You think I am childish, go ahead. I am not going to change so I can be a "normal person". Being normal sucks, I could not imagine life without this wonderful hobby. People's reactions may even suprise you. For example: Today I had to talk to someone about my favorite TV character in english class. Obviously it was Takumi, but to my suprise, the guy looked at my paper and went "Kamen Rider? You mean Dragon Knight?" I facepalmed while he wrote down "Kamen Rider Faiz" so he could try it out later. To conclude, why not talk about Toku? From writing it down on a piece of paper to screaming "HENSHIN!" in the hallway, I really do not see a problem. If people do not like it, sucks for them. Because they are missing out on the best series ever !

I am a super geek, all my friends are super geeks too pretty much. If I could find Kamen Rider shirts I'd wear them all the time lol. I even want to Cosplay different Riders. Also my lock screen's background on my phone is Kuuga and Ichigo, my Text message Ringtone is Yusuke saying Chou Henshin, My notification ringtone is Come On, Banana Arms, and my Ringtone is Faiz's ringtone. I'm proud to be a Toku fan.
