It'll never be enough unless a lead Kamen rider/red ranger is a white/wasian woman with a gay black secondary rider/ranger.

For Christ's sake, most of the female Riders we've gotten in the Reiwa Era weren't even that well-written to begin with.

Yua was the Yamcha of her show.
Izu got Aruto's leftover driver.
Reika had a strong introduction, but quickly became "that one girl who's obsessed with her brother".
Sophia got to be a Rider for like, five minutes.
Hana barely got to do anything after becoming a Rider because Hikaru got most of the secondary character focus in the last quarter of Revice.
Yukie died in her first episode.
Sae got even less to do than Hana.
Sara only became a Rider as a plot device.
Rinne kept running out of mana and didn't get her final form until nearly the end of the show because Gotchard was trying way too hard to make Legend a thing.

Yes, Sakura and Neon are great characters, but that's still only two out of eleven.
 
well shit.
Ultraman Omega was a much shorter series than I expected

Only had Bio Robo and Daidenjin and I liked both of them. I'm hoping for Change Robo and Flash King to be released under the SMP line.

Ah? I'm hoping for flash king as well because it's probably the most unique mech in terms of transformation. With the jets becoming the limbs, but great five is a good showa era. I only got live robo for showa.
 
Tojima Wants to be a Kamen Rider is fun so far. Reminds me a bit of Samurai Flamenco, only less gay.
 
Tojima Wants to be a Kamen Rider is also sparking the dumbest controversy yet I've seen on Twitter, especially Toku-twitter - the character of Yuriko has a big bust (like, you expect anything else from the creator of Air Master?) and thus is reflective that anime and/or toku "don't treat women well" and anime/toku are "misogynistic". So many finger wagging puritanical scolds trying to act like they're authorities and shame people for "not getting it".

Is she constantly being groped and objectified? If not, I don't see the problem with some lady having a nice rack.

English-speaking, twitter-dwelling tokusatsu fans usually are cringe at this point. I don't know the Japanese audience's reception to the show itself but expect some retarded English speakers ruining the fun for everyone by shoving their socio-political bullshit on kid's shows.

It has effectively filtered the worst parts of the English speaking fandom. "We want adult themed toku... NO NOT LIKE THAT." It's all just trannys and cucks whining about it. No women actually care (cause there aren't any cute boys in it).

They'd probably hate Malshina.

They legitimately think that all Japanese media needs to change itself to appeal to their specific, troon-ified Western tastes.

Weirdos living in their own world, how surprising.

Already, Zero-One has Naki and King-Ohger has Rita for their Western non-binary audience but it's not enough. Although iirc, Rita's actor has stated that her character's a "she."
 
I love ton katsu. Itadakimasu

I have finished Kamen Rider Ryuki. The last half was way better than the first half.

I don't know whether to give/knock points for the final. Either way the ending is sad given that nobody knows each other.

I'm kind of leaning to the every rider dead ending with the Editor's quote "In this war, there is no justice. In this war, there is only a wish." and fading to black with Ren being dead in Eri's room.

My next series will be Ghost since its Spooky season.

Ghost has a ton of soul and charm. The cast is great, the action is good, and the dynamic between the riders is kino, but its heavily flawed.
The enemies are weak as shit, the plot is weak, and one rider goes from OP as shit to weak sauce after becoming a hero. The V-cinema is unadulterated, pure KINO, with one of the best final fights in Rider history.
I always laugh when people shit on Kiva, Wizard, Ghost and Saber when fucking Revice is the top peak of dogshit. Unironically the worst Rider season ever made.
I've had a crush on Akari ever since I've watched the show
