+1 for Blue SWAT.

While I love the simple suit design, it's baffling that they only have armor covering their heads and chest

In the words of Caddicarus, "Spoilers, alright? Okay? Nice!"

Spoiler

"So the entire first half of Zeztz was all a dream and it didn't really happen?"

Forgive me if I don't like that.

Love Blade! Really expanded on the stylings of Ryuki and made them better overall (and man was that ending depressing). I've tried getting into Garo before, but it's never really been my cup of tea

And as far as horror goes, you might want to try Blue SWAT. It's about a special police squad tasked with taking down these alien body snatchers

I will absolutely be checking this out, thanks!

The first few episodes are subbed in English on Toei's Tokusatsu World Youtube page if you wanna give it a looksee

Thank you, that's so awesome, I'm so glad they've started doing this, I started Agito because the first couple episodes were on YouTube and kept being recommended any time I watched something related to Blade lol.

The only problem I have with Tokusatsu World is they only subbed three episodes for all of the shows and kept the rest of them region locked to Japan, which is kind of bullshit

But they have also uploaded stuff that hasn't been fully subtitled (by fans or otherwise) like Dokincho! Nemurin, which is a mixed blessing

CLIMAX HEROES MENTIONED

(seriously this is awesome, those games have such underrated music)

Been a while, after taking a break with Blade and Hibiki! I finally continued with Kamen Rider Kabuto

Kabuto so far makes me hungry to cook with Tofu!
I BELIEVE IN TOFU PROPAGANDA

"And what's your name?"
"TENDOU (Path of Heaven). SOUJI (Rules Over All)."
*Dramatic music*

Well, sheesh, man.

I absolutely HATED Tendou for the first couple of episodes. He came off as arrogant and incredibly self-serving, then I watched episode five or six and something just, IDK, clicked and I suddenly felt less like I wanted to punch his damn lights out

I can't hate him to be honest, he is so over the top to a comedy level
"My Grandmother once said that I'm an awesome guy"
And everyone going "What a weird guy..."

 

[ImpPlushie]

i've watched most of the Heisei seasons onwards and a couple of the Showa stuff and am a really big fan, haven't had a season i hated just kinda got bored with at some points. favs though are Kabuto, Gavv, and any season written by Yuya Takahashi (Ex-Aid, 01, Geats, currently Zeztz) i just tend to find them super enjoyable

 

[Leo-Dash]

Now having finished Kabuto and watched God Speed Love movie! It's interesting how Heisei Era gravitates so much on WHAT IF/Alternative Universe movies!
And introducing brand new characters only to kill them immediately :P

It's also interesting how Yuji Kiba from 555, Hajime Aikawa from Blade and Tsurugi Kamishiro from Kabuto ended up being my favorite characters... and all 3 have 1 thing I common :'D what a coincidence

Looking forward to start watching Den-O because it and OOO are in my "looking forward" list

 

[Sweetmint]

So far I've completed kamen rider Ex-aid, Fourze, Gaim and Den-O all great series ngl.

 

[Tsukishima]

This is one of the hardest frames I've seen in the original Kamen Rider.
Magnificent shot of Hongo & Ichimonji together. I just wish this show was better paced and gave us more Double Rider goodness.

 

[Leo-Dash]

Kamen Rider Den-O was fun! It may be all over the place with plot holes! But its really entertaining with with its comedy and characters' interactions!
At this point I'm enjoying more the Journey than the Destination (Final Boss of the series)
The Imagin are my favorite part of the series!

Sieg existing only as an advertising for the movie release hurts! but i'm glad they acknowledged him at the end as well as in other movies

DEAR LORD! IT HAS 8 MOVIES!!!
I'm gonna need to put the Kiva, OOO and Decade ones on Hold until I get to those series


Leave it to Japan to make the a Time traveling Train cool as fuck!
I really love how the armour parts slider on the suit's trails in every transformation scene! And that satisfying sound effects during the transformation!

Huh I just found out Yokai-Watch had a crossover with Kamen Rider

 

[gabbooo]

might be late for the party but Phase 1 Heisei Riders are really the best specially Kabuto, Kuuga, and Faiz

I also miss the cinematography of the early Heisei riders, it kind of felt more real. Like along the lines of maybe a documentary

I think it's because of the slower pacing that makes the story sink in better, it's also the norm back then in Japanese TV

I loved the camera angles in Kuuga and I noticed some sequence shots in Agito.

Some comments said that "early Heisei KR were basically dramas disguised as tokus".

Well, yah know, they're not wrong. In the same context as, say, Pro-Wrestling/Sports Entertainment being "violence filled soap operas for grown men"

I love how correct this is.
