Nice to see Showa Riders getting some fan love for once. I see so many modern day toku fans suggest that people skip the Showa shows on the grounds that they're slow, repetitive and too episodic. I personally like a lot of aspects of the Showa riders like the usually cybernetic origins and often, though not always, darker tone. People should approach these shows with an open mind and maybe take their time with them instead of binge watching because they were made to be seen only once a week and not all at once.
You know, I always hear people talk about Ichigo, V3, Strong and Black, but rarely about the other shows! Hearing your thoughts on them honestly made me more interseted in watching them than two years of rider discussion. An amazing video man, and congrats on almost reaching a thuosand subs, too!
Personally I haven't seen a lot of them but I do think the Showa Riders have a nice retro charm to em, I'll be it that charm is an acquired taste. I can say completely agree with the sentiments on Ichigo, Black, RX, and ZO. Black is really solid but I wouldn't say it's "the darkest or last good Rider show" or anything, RX feels like a extended toy commercial for Black, Ichigo is really fun in small bytes, and ZO is fucking awesome
Sorry for this one being late, Computer Boys and Girls! Tech troubles set this back and are currently impeding work on "Ode To The Maser Tank". I'm determined to keep the work going but things will be held up for a bit. Stay tuned, folks.
No prob, we can wait, no big deal! Also, what's the BGM from 0:36 to 1:29? Sounds awesome! I know it's from the 1st Kamen Rider but what is the track title and number? I gotta know. Thanks!
Watched Kamen Rider Black as a kid along with other tokusatsu shows in the 90's when they were aired in the Philippines. As always, great content! Keep them coming. 👍
I've checked out a lot of people doing videos about tokusatsu over the years and you are far and away the best. Well researched, insightful, cleanly edited, and clearly having fun with all of it. Keep it up!
I think you should prepare your 1000 subscriber special. I've been watching some of your content and it is def worth my subscription. keep up the good work.
The problem Showa Kamen rider has is, excluding Amazon in powers, they are all the same guy with a different costume, and there are very few differences with their origins and their personalities as people. Like, be honest what's the difference between Hayato and Shiro in character attitude towards their situation.
I'm planning on buying the original Kamen Rider manga coming out in December. Hopefully it will do well enough to convince Seven Seas to bring over Spirits.
Suggestions: tokusatsu you love to see on tokushoutsu & an in-depth retrospective on the works of Kohan Kawauchi. You’re expertise is worth it for the fans
Watch some of your videos and I am impressed by your productions. I am also a big fan of Toku and anime-related. I am currently watching Skyrider and it has an identity crisis at the beginning and once the senior Riders returned and gave Skyrider his power-up and guest-starring in various episodes, it was Showa Era fun so far. My thoughts of the Showa Era Riders series: Kamen Rider - I agreed that the first 13 episodes were taking itself too seriously. When Fujioka/Ichigo has his accident and Sasaki replaced him as Nigo, the show has a lighter tone and has fun with their stories. Classic but binge-watching is not recommended and the best episodes when Ichigo and Nigo got their power-up forms, those are the best episodes. V3- Classic with Kazami's actor being Mr Dandy and badass all out. Riderman is a tragic character and he redeems himself that V3 gave him the title of Kamen Rider No.4 to him. X, Amazon and Stronger - Haven't watched it but seen clips of it and so far they are okay. But Stronger is badass when he needs to be. Skyrider- See above. Super 1- The first half was fun and dark with each monster having some form of martial arts but once the first general was defeated, the story shift to regular rider series and the kids are some of the worst supporting cast for this show. ZX- Read Kamen Rider Spirits and Shin Kamen Rider Spirits Manga- ZX is basically OP. Black - Classic (Nuff said) Black RX- It is silly fun and the team up with the previous riders at the finale is a closure to the Showa Era. (Not counting Shin, ZO and J)
Goddamn! So I am the only person that LOVES Black RX? Literally, every other tokusatsu fan I know that's watched Black RX hates it with a passion. I guess it's my cross to bear.
You deserve the 800 subscribers as, thus far, this is one of the tokusatsu / obscurity channels on RUclips! Is the Sandy Frank video still on the table?
@@VintageHenshin Don't rush yourself but I eagerly look forward to it as I grew up with his Gamera re-dubs and G-Force: Guardians of Space back in the early 1990s so, yeah, another Sandy Frank kid (victim) here.
It's a shame that so many newer fans outright ignore the showa riders, they're some of the best! Modern rider isn't bad by any means, but it can feel more like a toy commercial at times
Don’t get me wrong, I love the hell out of the original Blade Runner, but that’s my defacto recommend for people who are worried about the movie being too dense or unapproachable.

a tip : you can watch movies on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.
@Gregory Arlo definitely, I've been using flixzone for years myself :D

I LOVE THIS PROJECT! Dude your presentation is aboslutely next level.

I love ZO. And it’s awesome it got an American release on Sega CD which is the way I discovered it.

Thank you so much. That means a lot to hear, really.
I wanna hear the story of the lead actor in Super-1 scamming people

God if only there were ways to read the KAMEN RIDERS SPIRITS manga, that would be amazing.
I found a link where the manga is translated it's really good so you can read online.
I'm planning on buying the original Kamen Rider manga coming out in December. Hopefully it will do well enough to convince Seven Seas to bring over Spirits.
I just want to be the first to welcome you to 1000 subscribers.

They classified the last two as Showa due to Ishinamori’s involvement.
Well done mate, I hope we get to work together soon!
I mean I may or may not have an Indie project in the works… Stay tuned!

Throw the tiniest bit of KR chum in the water and schools of Henshin-loving fish will rush your way.
The power of Rider content is irrepressible!
Goddamn! So I am the only person that LOVES Black RX? Literally, every other tokusatsu fan I know that's watched Black RX hates it with a passion. I guess it's my cross to bear.
There are other people love it, but you have to remember that it was/still remains a very divisive series.
Just finished....thank you!
Aww. No SD Rider review? Or Kamen Rider World? Joking aside, this is pretty good.
I also left out Stay In The World, though I love the lot of them!
You deserve the 800 subscribers as, thus far, this is one of the tokusatsu / obscurity channels on RUclips! Is the Sandy Frank video still on the table?
Absolutely! I have a full plate for the next few months but believe me when I say that is Sandy Frank video is easily a priority of mine.
@@VintageHenshin Don't rush yourself but I eagerly look forward to it as I grew up with his Gamera re-dubs and G-Force: Guardians of Space back in the early 1990s so, yeah, another Sandy Frank kid (victim) here.
Just saw this ....WOW!!!!!!
So Heisei at 1600 then?
*runs away screaming*
Dangit! Now he'll never come back! XD
Who did your channel intro riff?
It’s “Bakusou Battle Hackers” off of the MACHINE ROBO: BUCCHIGIRI BATTLE HACKERS soundtrack!
@@VintageHenshin Thanks! I know what I'm gonna be playing on loop for a while!
Where is the closing theme from for your videos?
It's a shame that so many newer fans outright ignore the showa riders, they're some of the best! Modern rider isn't bad by any means, but it can feel more like a toy commercial at times
>gushing about ZO
Hell yea
>Blade Runner
>”watch for the visuals not the story”
u wot m8?
Don’t get me wrong, I love the hell out of the original Blade Runner, but that’s my defacto recommend for people who are worried about the movie being too dense or unapproachable.
@@VintageHenshin ah, so same reccomendation as J, but for the opposite reason.
Pretty much!
