Yep.

True, you do know the story of how Takeshi Sasaki got cast as Hayato Ichimonji, a.k.a. Kamen Rider Nigou, right?

I say Geats is my Favorite. I watched it on tubi last year and I was hooked. But Before that I started watching Ryuki. Ryuki was good and entertaining. Geats was very enjoyable to watch.

Yeah, I'd say this event probably kick start the whole 'no actor allowed to do in-suit action scene' thing for years to come.

Probably due to them wanting to make it easier for people so they use CGI.

While I understand that there are more safety measures (for stuntmen or how coloured explosions are actually toxic) I still miss the "authenticity" of special effects (same in movies when all big blockbusters nowadays are using the same CGI techniques).

I love these openings

I remember binge watching a shit ton of Toku back in my senior year of high school. I started with W (Phillip ?) then went to Fourze, Den-O, OOO, Kabuto and watched Gaim while it was airing. I also watched Gokaiger and Megaranger as well, but tbh, I enjoyed Kamen Rider much more.

W and Kabuto will always be my favorite. W for the characters + how silly and full of heart it is, and Kabuto because the fight scenes are so fucking badass and I love Tendou Souji and his "Ten no michi o iki" catchphrase that was so fucking cheese also COOL AS HELL xD

 

[Ikagura Ikagura]

I definitely crave Metal Hero

Not the Space Sheriff but the second batch of series which were slowly getting more down to earth like Exceedraft and Blueswat

Yeah, in fact, they didn't let another actor portray a character both in and out of suit until Kamen Rider Gaim.

Minali Tsukui, the actress who portrays Yoko Minato, a.k.a. Kamen Rider Marika, was the first person to portray her character both in and out of suit since Hiroshi Fujioka did in the original series.

I think that CGIs also made action scenes safer.

I do miss the Japan Action Club.

My favorite western Toku ever, next to obviously Power Rangers and uhhh..... Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighter from Beverly Hills.

To be fair, she is JAC stuntwoman first and actress second haha.

What the hell never heard about that, gotta check this crazy thing out.

Guaranteed it's one of the most 90s thing you ever see.

Just watched the new episode of Kamen Rider Gavv

Gavv's new Blizzard Sorbet form looks neat but Valen's Chocold form is just his regular Chocodon form but the white bits of his suit have a little black on them.

That's it, that's the form.

 

[Ikagura Ikagura]

I should give Blade a chance but not before I've done 555 nor Ryuki.

Also are J and ZO worth watching?

Valen's form is a bit sad, but Hanto himself has become my number 1 second rider in the entire Reiwa series now, Toei better treat my boy right later on.
I'm a bit worried his next form might be Chocolate Cake and they gonna use kitbash from Caking form, hope it doesn't come to that.

They both okay in my opinion, but if you end up watching it, give Shin a try too.

It already leaked, it'll be a chocolate pudding form for the Vastrumgear belt. Don't know how Hanto will get the belt from Lakia, but we will see.

Awww cmon, Toei did him dirty.
Guess we will see, we're still halfway to the show.

Here's some new form ideas for Valen!

Got into it back in 2010, still have merch from back then.

Stuck with it From W To Gaim, went back to watch Den-O, I keep tabs on the franchise but I sadly haven't got the time to jump back into a full 40 episode series.
Other than the shorter entries such as Amazons, Black Sun (Which I found disappointing) and Anno's Shin Kamen Rider (I'm excited for the 5 episode mini series)

I mostly watch retro Metal Heroes in my spare time now, way less of a commitment considering their episodic nature. I do have Memory of Heroez on the Switch in English and obviously love Fuuto PI.

If I do get back into KR Geats visuals absolutely appeals to me.

I've read all of Spirits too which I highly recommend, I'm also curious to also check out KR Outsiders as its short form & builds off my era (Foundation X) but I haven't got around too it.

I DO!

Please watch Juukou B-Fighter its all free on Archive.org ?
Beetleborgs is unrecognisable from its source material and whilst I commend Saban's dedication to making a 90's kids ultimate power fantasy.
B-Fighter is something I can whole heartedly recommend as being good even as an adult!
It's not just an unrelenting ADHD assault by the (legally distinct) Universal monsters that melts my brain ?‍?

 

[PrismRed]

Okay I just saw the latest Gavv and I love Hanto's new Bully Maguire vibe.
