"Before this world meets its end, let me tell you something quaint. 2,000 years ago, I dabbled in literature, much like you. I was a poet, weaving words into countless tales. Those verses would come to me effortlessly, and I would lose myself writing all manners of beautiful stories. One day, I finally completed my masterpiece. A story that would be told throughout history. But... That is when I discovered... Every single poem I had weaved... They had already been written in the Almighty Book. Everything I thought I had created was merely handed to me. All I had done was etch them onto a piece of paper. Humans cannot create, for they do not possess the ability to!"

Fuck it Rider runthrough rankings

Ok so, I have decided to go through kamen rider from start of heisei to end of heisei, in order. Kuuga to Zi-O. And I already Regret it but here goes a long form attempt at consolidating my feelings on this stupid fucking franchise. Currently Watching: Hibiki

KUUGA (2000)

kuuga is the best season of Kamen Rider I have seen. Its not my favourite, but its basically as close to "Objectivly perfect" as this dumb bugman franchise gets.

the characters are likable, the plot is well structured, Godai and Ichijou are gay as hell and I love it, The Mystery works really well, the action is well choriagraphed and outright brutal on occasion (y'all who have seen this show know exactly the occasion I am talking about), and it is paced really well.

if I have to compalin about anything, and I probably do, yeah forms are spaced out a bit weird and if your watching in the modern age the gurongi are subtitled which might hurt your experience somewhat (It didnt for me but I can see an argument).

9/10, amazing show.

AGITO (2001)

I would like to give a solemn Appology to the agito stans: I dont like this show, and I honestly do not get why some people do. Yes, the suits are really cool with all of the mechanical stuff they can do, like agitos horns or Gills mouth, etc. but as for the actual Plot itself... its painfully slow, the mysery aspect is boring and poorly executed, and the show meanders around for the majority of its run.

Shoichi regains his memories breifly midway through the show, just to basically imediatly lose them again, delaying any actual story progression even further. Ryo Spends 4 episodes (a month IRL time) dead in a river, and once again it really goes no-where.

Now I do like G3. I think its hillarious that the G3 armour is litterally in the wrong show. I like Hikawa (even if hes just Diet coke Ichijo from kuuga) and I think that actually tying back the story of agito to Kuuga is cool and something I wish rider would do more.

I also think the show picks up significantly once another agito is introduced and the plot gets going. problem is at that point the majority of the season is already gone and potentially interesting character arcs and stories are speedran. whats there is good, I just wish it started earlier and lasted long.

3/10. sorry agito stans. glad you like this one, it aint for me.

Ryuki (2002)

Ryuki is the season of all time. its... kind of similar to agito, which is strange because I actually ended up liking this one. I think this works because its the first time Rider did a season where everyone, sans main Character Shinji Kide/Ryuki, is a massive prick, and that works because your going to see all of these characters die on screen so that helps soften the blow.

which is not to say that Ryuki suffers from unlikable characters, even the most detestable characters (exceptions of Gai and Ouja not withstanding) have moments which help humanise them.

pacing wise, yes, it kinda has the agito problem where the main plot happens all in one go right at the start and right at the end and the middle is mostly kinda filler, and I do think that if ryukis time had been used better we could have seen all 13 riders in the actual tv show, rather than relegating Femme, Ryuga and Verde to the Alternate ending movie, but its not a huge deal really.

also, the Mirror monsters almost certainly gave some japanese kids nightmares and I count that as a good thing. Mirror monsters, while their designs can be kinda so-so, are a wonderfully scary concept. Consider how often there are Mirrored or reflective surfaces in your day to day life. the extreme paranoia the concept conjures is wonderful

Final score, 7/10. Ryuki could do a lot better in some places (and was, in seasons like geats and also Dragon Knight or so I hear? IDK not watched dragon knight yet) but for what it is it is more than solid.

Faiz (555) (2003)

Faiz is one of the less talked about entries within the western sphere of the fandom... which is Fair. I think Faiz is an OK season but I did find myself tiring with it. the suits are rad but none of the characters ever really stuck, Powerups are often barely utilised which raises the question of why have them in the first place and like... Yeah IDK it just never really Gel for me.

the ending kind of comes out of no-where as well, plus I think (Spoilers) MURDERING A CHILD FOR SHOCK VALUE at the end is bad writing and was not very fun. Kiba becoming a major villain also felt forced as his fall from grace and redemption happen very quickly just do not feel congruent with his character up to that point.

I think my biggest Faiz Takeaway is the surprise that this is japans favourite season? this kind-of-just-ok entry into a franchise which has far better and more re-watchable entries? this?

(also this is not the fault of faiz but DO NOT FIND YOURSELF READING ORPHENOCHS AS A TRANS ALAGORY, WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. I acknowledge that this is a me thing, it was almost certainly not what the writters where going for... but Damn Sweaty that aged.)

so its like a... 5/10? that feels right. am I maybe lowballing the ranking for the sake of a "haha kamen rider 555 is a 5 out of 10" joke? maybe but honestly I just did not feel this one.

Blade (2004)

Frankly all I can say is that blade sure is another Early Heisei series. I don't want that to come off as bad or negative, its not meant that way, but once you have watched from agito to here back to back you start to notice how repetitive things feel in terms of pacing and story.

not to say that anything about blade is actually that bad, however, I did end up quite liking this series even if the hostility between its main characters got really grating at times. like seriously guys, can we go 5 episodes without someone being labelled a traitor or evil?

also on negatives, Kenzaki is kind of a wet cloth of a protagonist. Hes not bad, I do like him, but Hes far from the most interesting MC the series has produced. luckily this is made up for with the supporting cast, all of whom are great characters. Tachibana and Hajime especially are compelling secondary Main characters and I did really want to see them happy.

on the subject of happy, the one thing that always has to come up in blade discussion is the ending, which while I pretty imediatly picked up on other ways the characters could have resolved it the second they found out about the whole "the joker cant be the last undead standing" thing (Mutsuki just mcfucking use remote on shima before you defeat the catagory King of diamonds, then you wouldnt have had to go through any of this shit) I do feel that, with how the series plays out, its ultimately the best ending the characters could have hopped for. its not perfect, but it means that everyone gets to live, and despite what I know about the post series novels, I do firmly beleive that, yes, one day Kenzaki would figure out a way to defy their fate.

oh and one other thing. I dont like Chalices design. or, rather, I guess, I do like it but it feels weird to find out that chalice is visually just the catagory ace of hearts undead despite looking nothing like any other Undead in the show. it kinda reaks of contrivance and I dont like it, but honestly its fine all things considered.

7/10. good show, enjoyable, but god I want early heisei to stop repeating itself.

W (DOUBLE) (2009)

I have like 3 go to series which I use to introduce new people to Rider, and the one I think I personally am Happy re-watching the most is W. Yes, its very episodic. Yes, becaue of this the background plot ends up getting resolved in 2 episodes ultimatly. Yes, Akiko can be really annoying sometimes. Yes. I know its not perfect. I do not care.

W is pure fun. It is one of the funniest seasons the show has to offer, and also one of the most heartfelt. The show can go from sidesplitting comedy to actual serious moments in a heartbeat and it manages this without once experiencing tonal whiplash. the entire cast is likeable, the story is light and not super high stakes but fun, the individual clients that the cast encounter are great, the Music SLAPS (nobodys perfect is an under-rated rider banger IMO, love that song), and the suits are immaculate (even if most of the riders are just W retools).

speaking of other riders, the side content here is A+ too, with the WXDecade movies W portion being a really solid explaination of the backstory and giving us time with the best kamen rider who unfortunatly doesnt have more screen time, and Gaia memories of fate is also just a good time, with a good set of villains and some really cool action.

also Phillip and shotaro are just funny. I love Wikipedia and crap sherlock holmes, they are great.

8.5/10. cant give better because it is not perfect but I love it.

OOO (2010)

OOO is a mess. Like, the plot changed 5 times behind the scenes kind of mess. like I hear that during the seasons development and even airing who the final boss was going to be was constantly shifting between Ankh, Date, Maki and the eventually Cut-save-for-one-canonically-questionable-movie Giru. This, like many things, I blame on Decade... because its all Decades fault. However, despite all that... yeah OOO is kinda good innit?

OOO still stands as the, objectively, best execution of the Mix-and-match Rider gimmick. OOO does not have super forms in the traditional sense, everything is just a variation on the base form, and the closest to super forms that you do get, the combos, are not very reliable long term. also, what forms the character has access to change constantly through the series based on what Medal Eiji has, meaning that you never get OOO at their full power. hell the series ends with Eiji with almost no medals, making them (debatably) the weakest they are in the whole series. its a very interesting dynamic and its something I wish would be done more often in rider. (Geats does get close and I applaude that.)

Also... you know, its just well written. I love all of the characters, Ankh is an amazing foil to Eiji, Goto and Date make fun Secondary Riders, Mr Kogami is Amazing and I love that they keep bringing the character back in unrelated media, best part of super hero senkei fight me.

yeah. OOOs good. I wish I could be more analytical with this particular season but I cant. my brain does not allow it. 8/10. great season.

Fourze (2011)

how the fuck do I talk about Fourze? Its a great season, don't get me wrong, but I think its the most uncomplicatedly "good season" I have ever seen. like its just good. its not good in and interesting way, its not good in a way that is worth talking about in any depth, its just Good.

and theres my problem, because I dont like that, I really want to have thoughts on these seasons because otherwise... what am I doing here, wasting my time writing about funny Bugmen on the hellsite. but really, fourze is just good. its got good characters, its got a good story, its got good vibes, its just good in a very uncomplicated way.

my biggest criticism, which isnt even really that much of a criticism, is because the show has to get through 40 astroswitches, a good number either never re-occur during the show or are just kinda weird and pointless in their function outside of their specific focus period. But even then thats so minor because the 40 astroswitches are never really that much of a focus and also, once again, the weird and whacky ones are just fun.

9/10. I wish I could say more, but its fourze

Amazons (season 1) (2016)

it has occurred to me after finishing Geats I should probably include the oddities in this post/run-through because even if they are not "Main seasons" they are certainly worthy of discussion (and also I do intend to include showa here at some point, even if I am not watching it yet. who knows, by the time you are reading it maybe the showa shows are included). they give us a glimpse at ideas and characters which cant be explored normally in rider, and grant potentially interesting re-interpretations of age old characters.

with all that said... I don't really care for Amazons. season 1 specifically, I have not yet finished season 2 and it was removed from amazon prime so there goes one of the few ways to legally enjoy this franchise.

on its own its fine, like I dont think this is a particuarly bad attempt at "kamen rider but adult, violent and edgy" but I do feel that ultimatly thats all that Amazons really has. its unbearable dower and dark and features so few really likeable characters. I get why its so violent, the violence was the defining feature of original Amazon and so of course with an adult re-imagining you lean into that, but it still feels really tryhard, and more than anything, just miserable.

I might come back to this particular entry at some point because Honestly I think season 1 warrants a re-watch from me and maybe I will get it more or care more for what its doing. but all that said, 7/10. its fine. if you want Violent rider this is violent rider. I just dont feel like its that much more than that.

Zero-One (2019)

Zero One was my first season, and its a pretty well loved season by the wider community. its one of my 3 go-to "if you want to get into Kamen Rider, Start here" seasons, and its the one I point too most often when that question comes up because its the most recent, and therefore has the best VFX of any of my go-tos.

so when I say that I fucking hate this season, that might come as a surprise. if I hate it, why do I recomend it?

well its simple really. Zero-One has major, Ground up Writing and stakes issues which makes it, at best, a very frustrating watch.

Death is meaningless. most of the characters who die are AIs who are revived in the very next episode with no cost, and remembering everything that happened to them prior to their death. only 1 character death, in the whole show, Sticks, and thats Wazu (I will be using Izu, Azu and Wazu because Is, As and Was would get confusing), and that episode set is ultimatly kinda unimportant and Wazu's death is forgotten, never to be bought up again.

the ending is a mess, mostly due to covid causing constant changes to the series plans, but those final few episodes are rough and I wish that the series had ended with the Ark as the main Badguy, rather than having Aruto Heelturn and then making Horobi the final boss.

also, and I try not to bring up post-series in this because its broadly unimportant, but zero-ones post season content is utter dogshit. the movie is ok, although reviving Izu not only retroactivly makes the series ending dumber but also effectively means new Izu was murdered and her body was jacked by old izu (WHICH THIS IS NEVER EXPANDED UPON, IT JUST HAPPENS), but what the hell was zero-one Others? yeah, sure, just kill off all of the interesting characters who could have had really interesting post-series stories, Lets character assassinate everyone in this show, and then lets also kill off the secondary rider in the cruellest way possible because fuck you I guess. No I am not over Fuwa, I will never be over Fuwa, but even more so I am not over Ikazuchi and Naki. those two where Criminally underused in the show, but now we will never get a chance to get more time with them. Thanks toei.

with all that having been said... IDK, Zero one is fine. its far from the worst season I have seen, and I do still recomend it as a starting point for the franchise as a whole because its a good "onboarding" point if you will. its about as basic as a rider season can get.

Despite everything I have said: 5/10

Saber (2020)

Saber is also really bad, but kind of in the same way that fourze is really good. Its bad but I don't really have much to say about it. by all accounts, it would have worked much better as a sentai season rather than rider given the heavy team focus and a core Red-Yellow-Blue Main trio.

Saber is largely forgettable. its plot meanders around, its characters exist, and its individual story arcs tend to just happen. its not a very interesting series, and I think that really its problem. if it was as bad as it is but in an interesting way, i would probably prefer it because at least I would get that it was trying something, but really the Series is just kind of bland.

However, its not completely pointless. The henshin jingles and standby loops are A+ tier, Special shoutouts going to Slash. Desast, while he does nothing most of the season and his existance is confusing, is a fun character and I am glad he is back in recent media (although I... haven't watched any of it yet, maybe it sucks). and, of course, the Crossover Movie with Zenkaiger is Excelent. you do not have to watch saber, but you owe it to yourself to watch that film. its a wonderful, heartfelt love letter to both franchises and I love it.

but in all... saber kinda bad. I think the biggest example of why is found in Durandal, who is introduced as this big problem... but then the moment Touma figures out his gimmick hes now nothing. while this is the biggest example, its kinda an inherent repeating problem for the whole show.

2/10. not 1 because it has some good aspects... but ultimatly I would rather be angry at a season than bored with it.

Revice (2021)

So its... kinda a catchphrase of mine to say "Revice is fine, y'all are just mean" but also like... I do Get why some people dont like it. the second half can feel strange as compared to the first, Vice is a very Abrasive character to have around for every episode, and a lot of its best aspects are in side content.

but like... man I like revice. I like its themes of Freedom VS saftey, I like how it handles the aspect that being a rider pretty universally sucks for all of its characters. I like how Morally ambiguous the majority of the cast are. I like how no-one is treated as irredeemable, even if some of them are.

and mostly I like Ikki and Vice. this season lives or dies for you based on if you like the two characters at the center of it. all of the awesome suits and interesting villains mean nothing if your main characters are not likeable. and I think these two work. they bounce off of each other well and I really like the sort of broadly unstated fact that vice is all of the parts of Ikki which Ikki rejects. Ikki is humble and selfless to a fault, mostly quite and reserved, while vice is loud and narcissistic and energetic. I think their dynamic works really well.

it also plays into a theme of the season which I really enjoy, the Idea that the characters inner demons are the parts of themselves that they reject and that they ultimately have to come to terms with those parts of themselves. by the end of the series, Ikki is a bit more like vice, and is much more comfortable with the "Vice" parts of himself (even if he doesnt know why because of tragedy and heartbreak). In comparison, the other igurashis have done the same. Sakura is much more comfortable with the parts of herself she considered weak, while not letting that over ride her kung-fu Girlboss attitude. Daiji has come to terms with his Middle-child angst and insecurities. and Genta has come to terms with the mistakes of his youth and is looking to grow past them.

revice is not perfect, its storytelling can be a mess sometimes, its barely a crossover/anniversary season, the last 4 episodes feel more like Vcines than actual episodes of the show... but Damn it Revice meant something to me. this was the first season I watched as it was airing, but even regardless it stands out to me on how well handled this was. I have yet to really dive in on post series and god I hope they dont fuck it up like they did with zero one... but For me, Revice is special.

8/10. Revice is Fine. Y'all are just mean

Geats (2022)

Kamen Rider Geats is... something else. I am writing this literal seconds after finishing the final episode, because I have known what I want to say about this season for a long time but after seeing its ending just... wow.

Put simply: Geats is the first time (as far as I have seen) since Kuuga that the show has reached this level of pure, technical "greatness". not since Kuuga has the writing been this good, the suits this good, the fights this good. and remember, I consider Kuuga to be the best season this show has done. Geats is that good.

its rich, its deep, its beautifully shot and choreographed, Its characters are layered and interesting. Geats is a tour-de-force in terms of this franchise. I thought revice was going to be a hard act to follow but geats blew it out of the water.

I do want to stress that while I consider geats to be up there in terms of quality, I don't necessarily enjoy it as much as other seasons. reminder that Enjoyment and objective quality are frequently two different things, but I would be lying if I said that I did not also still love this season.

also Geats says eat the rich. I will not elaborate further but if you have seen the show you know what I mean.

9/10. only losing a point because the disaster arc kind of never went anywhere

Shin Kamen Rider (2023)

fuck it this counts. As of Writing this part, I have not actually seen the original 1971 Kamen Rider series. I whole intend to some day, I just haven't gotten around to it. so please bare in mind that some stuff I have to say about this movie may just be accurate to what that show is like.

now I am going to leave the Pacing of the film alone as far as criticism goes. even though Shin deviates heavily from the source material, it is still trying to adapt the broad strokes and tone of a 90-odd episode TV show from the 90s into under 3 hours. Plus, this is nothing new for the Shin Japan Heros films, Shin Ultraman also suffered from this.

what I will criticise is the fight scenes. Hot take but like... Geats was better. a tv show with a fraction of the budget and half the development time has better fight scenes than the big budget movie. so much of the action, especially in the first half, is weirdly edited and lacks cohesion. this does pick up towards the end, and, yes, I cheered in delight when Takeshi and Ichimonji went sicko mode on the shocker riders. like audible yell of "YEAH!" chear, but again those first few fights are weird and not great to watch.

beyond that honestly pretty major criticism, the film is very good. its kind of melodramatic and dower a lot of the time but given its specifically aiming for the tone of those 14 episodes of 1971, from what I know that's fine, that's how those episodes went. Plus, I am not going to say it isnt effective. I cried, I cheered, a good time was had by all.

This is not my favourite piece of Kamen rider media. honestly I dont know If I will revisit it for a long time. it lacks a lot of what I enjoy in this franchise. that said, this is a phenomenal work. I respect if for what it attempts, and enjoy it regardless of my aversion to the style. 9/10. Kamen rider in its purest, most raw, most uncut form.

Kamen Rider Jeanne! And Kamen Rider Aguilera! With Girls! Remix! Part 2!

I wanted to do the first one a while ago, but Tumblr very rudely wound up canning it and I spiraled into insanity. Anyways, here's part 2 like nothing happened~!

Spoilers, I guess...

-Ah yes, Yuriko Natsuki. Not to be confused with Yuriko Misaki or Yuriko Edogawa or Yuriko Yamamoto or Yuriko Yamaguchi or Yuriko from... a number of adult VNs, holy crap.

-Yeah fuck Black Satan! ...though to be fair, I did rather like your brother, Miss Titan, he was cool.

-Oh shit, Kanon! Hell yeah!

-Wow, why do you live in like... a villa?

-Jesus Christ, Akaishi kidnapped a goddamn baby to become a bridal sacrifice to a demon god. ...I uh, think we kinda glossed over that.

-That being said, I do not appreciate Hana's selfie cam, that'd give a terribly blurry angle.

-Oh shit, Hana mom.

-Hello, Sakura! Your wife is gone!

-Ah, yep! Electro Wave!

-I have to wonder, how did Black Satan's hierarchy shake up after the death of the Great Leader? General Shadow of course went on to lead Delza, but I can't imagine anybody

-"Ahhhhh, ok..."

-Hell yeah, we love to see it! Queens supporting queens!

-AHHHHHHH THAT'S A REFERENCE TO EIJI'S WORDS IN CROSSOVERS AHHHHHHHHH

-Thank you Akiko, that made my evening.

-Well gee Yuriko, you're creepy.

-Ah, yep! Miss Titan!

-Ohhhhh, in the creepy inner demon void.

-"I am thou, thou art I go with the creepy lady do it do it do it do it"

-Hana, homegirl.

-Izu found them.

-Poppy and Izu have a wonderful dynamic.

-Poppy Pipopapo has entered your computer and you can do nothing about it. Pray for mercy.

-Daaaaamn, unsuited action!

-Theeeeere they goes!

-Oh crap, Akiko's been got again.

-I see Black Satan doesn't have many women in its ranks.

-...come to think of it, I wonder if they considered Geddon to be the villain organization to bring back? I realize Tackle's a lot more important to the Female Rider archetype, but think about it. A mystic cult of demonic beastmen created and headed by an evil red demon guy with strong ties to mystic forces originating from South America. The Red Followers even outrank the Beastmen, it's pretty easy pickings!

-Anyways WOOOOOOO GO REIKA GO GIRLBOSS I LOVE YOU YOU'RE SO COOOOOOL

-OOOOOOH NOT EVEN LOOKING THAT TIME

-Hello, Izu!

-Ooooooh, didn't even raise a hand!

-"Pffft... not a Kamen Rider... I ride Ryuu-kun all the time!"

-Thank you, Chief, your services are deeply appreciated.

-Ohhhhhh, Sawa-san!

-I knew you were in this, but I didn't know you were kicking ass too!

-...Akiko, how the fuck do you know Takigawa by name?

-She was in an alternate world by the time most of the Riders who even met Sento and could've told Philip and Shotaro about it.

-I realize Build's ending was a reset button and that Sawa's both a famous journalist and close friends with somebody in Japan's government, I know that, but what the fuck?

-OH SHE'S THE CLIENT OKAY

-Sawa, how the fuck do you know Black Satan?

-Like, I'm not doubting your abilities at all, far be it from somebody whose only experience with infiltrating conspiracies was as Solid Snake, Sam Fischer and Garret to have a full opinion on that, but like

-How? You were one of my favorite characters in Build as a refreshing take on female sidekicks from earlier in the Heisei era, and now I just desperately wanna see an Ultra Q-style series chronicling your misadventures exposing evil organizations and kicking ass.

-Do I sound like I'm angry, because I swear I'm not, I'm just very impressed.

-Oh yeah, Kanon's here too! Hello!

-OH YOU KNOW THE GANMA TOO

-Damn, Sawa, what else are you hiding from us?! Are you a Gate? An Agito?

-Aki, do you know Dr. Sayo Oharu? Cause that's a mood.

-"I am the EEEEEEVIL Hana! Y'know your eboy brother Kagerou? Yeah, I'm kinda like that."

-Noooooooo, Hana-san! :(

-Slayin' with Queen Bee! ...evil edition.

-DON'T BELIEVE MYSELF OH MY GOD

-Aguilera Dark's a really nice recolor, love how the black stands against the white and silver.

-Turtle Bazooka!

-Oh, we're naked.

-Yeah Hana!

-Oooogh, right in the chest.

-Ah, we win.

-"Don't leave me again"

-Congrats women, you win!

-Kuroi Yuriko, gotcha.

-Miss Titan!

-OHHHHH SHIT MOTHER

-Oh yeah, Riot in Bloom fucks.

-I uh... don't mean to put too fine a point on it, but this is an absolute banger and Yui Asakura should be proud.

-Gracias.

-OH YEAH GIRLS

-TSUKUYOMIIIIIIIII

-HELL YEAH, LET'S GO

-Ah, so... Miss Titan is extremely creepy, gotcha.

-That denim vest is absolutely working for you, girl.

-Anyways, can't wait for Part 3, I really want Toei to keep going with these awesome female Riders the way they do with their Sentai heroines.

Round Two - Luxomancy (light, holy) 2/8

Propaganda under the cut (beware of potential spoilers!!)

Stella:

Stella is the titular spiritfarer, a psychopomp meant to help comfort souls as they travel through the place between life and death and onto the afterlife. To help her in this task, she is equipped with an Everlight. It takes the form of a ball of glowing gold light that sits on her belt, but she can use it as a shape shifting multitool. It can become a saw, a watering can, a paddle, a guitar, and so on. Also her cat Daffodil gets one too.

Yuri:

No propaganda :(

Round 1 of 8, Group 8 of 8

propaganda and summaries are under the cut (May include spoilers)

Kamen Rider Saber: 1.26 Deep Darkness, With a Sword

Calibur's identity turned out to be Kento, who should have died. Despite this revelation however, Kento suddenly leaves telling them he will seal all the Seikens to save the world from destruction. Believing that they can fight together again, Touma and his friends try to engage Primitive Dragon who has caused Touma to go berserk more than once. Meanwhile, Ren is glad to hear that Kento has resurrected, but is told by Reika that he is an enemy of the guild. So just what happened to Kento? This is the beginning of the battle over the Almighty Book, Yuri tells them, being the first owner and keeper of the power of the Sword of Shadows. Yuri confronts Kento alone, but it eventually drags him into a battle against him. Just then, he starts to make his move.

Altered my brain chemistry. A character thought to be dead returns, and turns on his friends. It's gut wrenching as we see how he experienced numerous visions of the future, nearly all including the death of his childhood friend who he cares for deeply. All of these visions are so real to him and bring him to the brink of complete despair. He turns on them, as saving the world side-by-side can only lead to failure and death. You can feel the characters' hearts break as they see their friend is not the same as he once was. But he can't let his friend die, he rather sacrifice himself then let him die. There's a lot of sadness, anxiety, and fear and it's felt by the audience.

The Walking Dead: 2.07 Pretty Much Dead Already

Glenn tells the rest of the group about the walkers in the barn, dividing them on what to do. Meanwhile, Hershel sets a deadline for the group to leave, unless Rick does a difficult task.

The Saber Tiger Malgam, made from Sabeliger. I don't like how the gold base blends with the body.

i know we said this about saber but these dickheads really do look like they're from completely different shows. absolutely no cohesion here whatsoever

#at least saber had the unifying sword motif and the excuse of being based on a bunch of different types of books #i think geats is gonna have a very distinct aesthetic to its riders which im excited to see #kendrix morgan died for our sins #kamen rider for ts #revice posting #revice spoilers//

Hey fangus my friend circle wants to try kamen rider but we dont know where to jump in. Any suggestions?

Hello of course! You have to watch riders now *grabs you by your collar*

Starting points, especially something easy to chew, a great one would be fourze! It’s a very sweet and endearing series. While it doesn’t ask the audience to tackle any serious question, it has its own share of nice chewable drama. It’s easy to watch and just all around good. It’s about space and how cool it is and zodiac signs are evil.

Remember every second you are standing still, Gentaro gets closer. And you will be befriended.

Faiz. This would be something I consider a bit more of a serious rider with lord hardcore drama and is why a monster must be in every episode and made toei redo their clauses and deals how episodes structured. Cause the show does not heavily involve monsters cause it’s focused on the drama. Riders usually only show up in the last like 5 mins lol. I have beef with it only cause every other rider series loves to suck it off and not stand on their own feet but the admiration is deserved.

Ex-Aid is another good one that has a more equal share of suit vs no suit acting. It’s about a gamer virus that destroys the body but in a “pg” way so as to get it past the censors. The show takes this all serious and has some amazing acting. Bike-kun is best.

Ryuki is my golden standard. Tldr there’s a other world, the mirror world, where giant mecha monsters exist there. They’re fucked up: in comes shinji, a shit reporter who wants to do right by people and be good at this job. He is only good at one of these things he gets involved in a war started by another character of rider on rider death and shinji cannot stand a war for the sake of nothing lives being lost. So he fully enters to stop it. This is my favorite rider hands down.

My second favorite is OOO. It’s about a homeless man who gets attached to a gay monster bird man who is just a arm at the series start. The homeless man, eiji is a very drama followed man who is just trying to live his life after complications that I won’t go into cause spoilers. He comes onto the scene as monsters called Greeed are attacking humans desiring the humans wanton desires and misery. The greeed bird ankh basically makes a tenuous bond/deal with eiji to be the new OOO a ancient rider who struck down the big Greeeds but there’s more to it.

Eiji and ankh are gay.

The best showa era is black. I love black, Kamen rider black rules. Saber did his pose.

Mother general recommendations are : Kuuga, Kamen rider 1st, W, zero one (heavily recommend)

Do not watch saber or ghost or gaim.

Ok I need to talk about this and I don’t have reddit anymore (but I’m thinking of re-downloading just for this) no spoilers

Kamen Rider Gotchard episode 12. JFC! Before this I was very worried gotchard was going to be on the level of ghost or saber but this god damn episode might be one of my favourites ever (it is also the first one I’ve seen since catching up to the franchise).

It was brutal and subversive in the best ways. Incredibly depressing and I’m loving it. It introduced what could be my favourite rider ever? The design is so cool, like a zombie Eternal (I know how ironic that is) and I already really like the person themselves (trying really hard not to spoil it cause it was genuinely a twist I didn’t see coming). Just the other night I ordered booster boxes of the ride Chemy cards because I am becoming addicted to collecting trading cards and as soon as the episode finished I looked up to see if I could buy the replichemy cards anywhere. I am definitely getting the driver and cards when I can god damn I am so hyped, why did this have to happen once I caught up and there’s no merch yet and I can’t find out if the character becomes terrible?
