Favorite Dramas

Favorite Kamen Rider, causing me to buy my first rider belt, do my first tokusatsu cosplay, and eventually I would go on to venture to Pasadena, CA to meet Renn Kiriyama and have dinner with friends which is an important experience to me as a milestone.

It may not be perfect, but it's damn near close.

A story perhaps even better than W, an improvement on many of its dynamics as well.

The sleek, metallic designs, unique filming style, dated CG, and many shades of grey create such a dark atmosphere that I find it immersing every time.

My first completed Tokusatsu program which introduced a world I would remain thoroughly immersed in since 2013.

A near perfect synthesis of all of Heisei Phase 2's identity, with a serious storyline, colorful characters, a constantly one-upping villain, and fantastic new powers and gear that sometimes have a tremenduos impact on the story.

The constant escalation of action and new millenium aesthetic makes it irreplaceable to me.

An inspiration to budget and horror film making and gives the original spirit to what we consider tokusatsu now. I may not finish it any time soon, but every experience with it is unmistakeably iconic.

The combination of doctors and video games make the style of this Kamen Rider unmistakeable and dairing, and the colorful character relationships are unforgettable. Aesthetically my favorite Kamen Rider.

I could not get enough of these characters, and I cried many times. I really need to finish the manga now...
