Better than Over Quartzer if nothing else.
Okay! I'm always a little conflicted about lowering my expectations for certain projects (if this was an episode of Zi-O, I might never have forgiven them), but I always seem to shrug at corny stage productions. They're usually not
good
, but maybe I shouldn't expect them to be.

He's
extra
dopey in this one, which isn't a bad choice, narratively. I HATE YOU AND YOU LOVE HEISEI SO NOW I LOVE SHOWA AND HATE HEISEI is as pathetic and childish a motivation as I can remember in Kamen Rider, so it absolutely should be Hiryuu's motivation here.

Neat! Thanks for the info!

I mean, it's a
time travel
show. The producers may have forgotten about it, but we sure didn't!
And, yeah, this was a good show. I'm an all-day sucker for these shows, they got my
number
, so there was almost no timeline where I ended this season unhappy. There's always going to be dumb plots or frustrating character development or abandoned premises, but
I like watching Kamen Rider
. I don't ever end up caring about those flaws, even if they drive me insane as I watch them.
It's... it's like Sougo talks about in the (very dopey) Final Stage show: do you want to hold onto resentment and disappointment from your past? Or do you want to find some happiness in the present? All I ever remember from these shows are the good times, where even the
bad
times get recast as so-bad-it's-good times. Swartz'z boneheaded plot is as delightful to me now as any scene of Sougo getting a Rider's catchphrase wrong. (The only thing I miss from the Armor Time era of the show was that bit. It's a good bit!) Why hold onto bitterness, when happiness is within your grasp?

That sounds completely up my alley! Yes! Please let me know if that gets subbed! And, like, in general, if there's some piece of content from any of the Heisei shows that gets subbed in the future, please shout out this Cubist monstrosity!
