While looking for a video recently, I realized that all of the Kamen Rider series has been either officially or fan-translated, and I've watched only bits and pieces of it as a franchise. I like what I've seen, which to date, are chunks of Kamen Rider, Amazon, Black, Wizard, and the currently airing Saber. I've seen all of W, OOO, Foruze, Ghost, Drive, and the first season of Amazons. There's a lot of holes, whole series of holes, that I'd like to plug, and at the same time I need more excuses to write regularly, so here's what I've come up with: The Great Kamen Rider Review Project.
I'm going to watch every episode of every Kamen Rider series, in order, and blog through them to note my impressions and ideas. Because some of it is bound to be repetitive I'm only promising a paragraph, but I'll likely often write more than that. I think there will be lots to discuss or I wouldn't attempt this, but I also know (especially early on) there's bound to be episodes that are like "this episode he fought a fish man. the stunts were of average quality."
I've always been absolute shit with follow-through on any of my projects or ideas, so I probably won't even share these out for a bit to make sure it gets past a week or two. This format should (in theory) allow me to get ahead and then set posts to go up as I finish my thoughts. I should therefore be able to somedays watch multiple episodes if I want, and other days watch none and stay afloat. If you've made it this far, wish me luck and feel free to comment on and share these mini-reviews and thereby help keep me honest.
