This is something that has been a long time coming, something I've anticipated but also was slightly callous in wanting to approach.
When reviewing something like this I always have a fear of perhaps unintentionally holding a bias one way or the other. On one hand, when dealing with what is the start of a major and beloved franchise like Kamen Rider there's a degree of which one wants to handle it with kid gloves because it is so important. On the other, there's the desire to be stricter because it must be held to a high standard because of the legacy it began.
My best hope is to be fairly critical to a work in whatever way I enjoyed it, that's the point of a review after all. I can say the original Kamen Rider series is an interesting look at certain concepts that would be better executed and refined in later shows, this is the foundation. It's very much like Ultraman in that regard, but let's get into the show proper.
