i had already put my tablet away when i realized i needed any sort of backdrop, i just put together a bunch of lines and shit using csp brushes lmao

i imagine if you really hate the toyetic nature of superhero toku stuff this probably hits different but unfortunately i actually like the loud noises and chunky toy weapons

14 episodes in and im really really struggling to keep wanting to watch it, im sure the cool stuff comes later but i cant latch onto any of these characters and every monster fight is a (relatively impressive for the time) cg sequence

am i not watching the same show as everyone else in these livestreams? it's not just broken on my end? this isnt a massive gaslighting campaign to get kamen rider over in the west? usually when i watch something terrible it isnt met with "YOOOOOOOOO THIS IS PEAK IT'S SO RAW IT'S SO GOATED" like this

and this is me being extremely charitable and ignoring the GenAI misshapen elephant in the room

i cant even pretend to be invested in whatever mystery they're building up because i've seen every yuya takahashi rider series and i have pattern recognition (a rarity among the toku fanbase) when the character writing isnt there, the suits are terrible and the fights are bad, what the hell is left?
