I got 2 things out of this mini-series:

1) Okuno So is a better actor than I had previously given him credit for to handle several different versions of the same character.
2) Both Decade and Zi-O are much less interesting when they don't use any of their cards/watches.

I would put the dividing line earlier than Decade. For me, the quality started going downhill at Den-O, which is the first one where it seemed to me the focus became selling as many cheap plastic toys as possible rather than producing entertainment. Not that the toys weren't always a factor, but tha...

Are you sure they are saying "Peter Fan"? "Peter Pan" seems more apt.

Do we know for sure that Misora is his daughter? It would be a little more palatable if he is just saying she is his daughter.

I normally don't mind the Red being the focus of the show and getting a lot of attention, but Lucky is even getting on MY nerves. The last time I was this annoyed with a Sentai was Toqger. If he would just tone down the stupid catchphrase it wouldn't be so bad. I found depressed Lucky through most ...

I don't remember if I mentioned it before, but I'm puzzled as to why black and blue aren't switched. Blue would make more sense for the strong man guy who was a cop. And the playboy should be black like Ian, the playboy. Swapping them around when invoking the same types is confusing. I was actually...

I started watching Kamen Rider shows with Blade or Hibiki (I think Hibiki) and have watched every year since. Eventually I back-filled all the way back to Agito plus Black, RX and Amazon from other sources. I started seeing a significant downturn in story and costumes beginning with Den-O even thoug...

I have watched, mostly silently, the videos you have released here for a long time and greatly appreciate all the hard work. I have tried to enjoy the recent years but Ex-Aid may be my breaking point. I can easily trace my issues to Den-O. I never understood why everyone seemed to love that show...a...

However I think Takeru wins the idiot of the week award. There's a red gas in the sky, and he always picks the least practical way of reaching it? Need a sample, send the cranky ghost. Need to reach the enemy? Launch yourself with several different luminaries? The one thing he didn't do? Use the da...

It would have been nice to have a little more participation from magi yellow than to swoop in at the end and say "You done good young man, now I'll take the pesky kid and go home on my maagi magi broom" I was kind of hoping for some magic teamwork to save the day or something. Its been a l...

As far as Kinji goes, if he was born in the US, he is a US citizen, even if his parents weren't (although the republicans are trying to change that). I would assume he can rightfully call himself American. They have kept him from saying any more English than necessary, I suppose, so we won't notice ...

It's refreshing to see a Kamen Rider actually ride something for a change, but I'm unclear how a ghost rides a motorcycle when he can't touch anything else.

It's a ghost bike.

Oh. Thank you. I can work with that.

I doubt the opinion of a lapsed Kamen Rider fan is going to be valued here, but hey, as a guy who hates everything post Kabuto, here it goes. You are not alone in disliking everythingn post Kabuto. I've watched them all, but have only liked W since then (and Drive grew on me). To me Den-O was a tur...

I both loved and hated this. Faiz is one of my favorites, not sure why, I just thought it was significantly better than most of the recent ones. I think I felt it has better/deeper characters. It did, however, go off the rails toward the end. I'm sad to see that ending, but I saw it coming early on....

Thats my first thought. Since every Hesei Rider, as far as I can remember, took place over one year. So either they plan to change that or more likely the 15 Eyecons is only the first story arc. Decade only had 30-ish episodes. I like the fact that the costume has that buggy feel that a kamen rider...
