after i watched shin kamen rider, i went and watched some clips from the first show. thats about the breadth of my kamen rider experience. i liked what i saw! the old fight choreography is really super excellent. i am always way more impressed by action stuff when i know they actually had guys doing it for reals. like i watch him go soaring thru the air and land on the ground and roll thru dirt and then swordfight a bunch of guys all at once and i'm like yeah that's pretty freaking sweet.

crazy to think it was on the air around the same time as 60s batman. could you imagine if that show did action the same way as kamen rider? we'd probably be building statues of adam west in the streets. actually we should be doing that now, anyways
