I can agree with the loss of Stronger's actor. Makes me wish it was possible to get a taste of Stronger to see if it rubs off on me like Amazon did for the old stuff.

I just heard about this too.
Feel free to correct me, but I think this is the first Shouwa Rider we've lost since Takehisa Yamaguchi, who played Jouji Yuuki/Riderman. Unless you like to count Yuriko Misaki/Tackle, played by the late Kyouko Ogata, as a Rider.
This also means we've lost Stronger and Tackle.

that was more directly related to a show we subbed, we havent done anything real with Stronger so its not likely to feature on the front page

I was just in the middle of watching the series when I found out he had passed away. For some reason it seemed to hit a lot harder because I was really invested in his character. I'm really hoping MCS hurries to finish the series after this, I really want to see the rest of the it.

I know it's kinda late for this, but I remembered seeing this and figured this was a appropriate place to put this
