Kamen Rider Black Sun (2022)

One of the Best Reboot Ever!

As a fan of original KR Black series, I'm so excited to watch Black Sun because of behind the scenes team. I loved Kazuya Shiraishi's works and Shinij Higuchi, and let me just say that Black Sun has the BEST production quality in Rider franchise ever, so far at least. The visuals are breathtaking, the acting/performances was phenomenal, the story/characters were great, and yoo the SCORE/SOUNDTRACK was mesmerizing.

I'm always a big fan of the story/plot that doesn't hold back and boy...Black Sun really went DEEP in the social commentary aspect and I was shocked on how real it got. I was like damn how they can get away with this stuff, its madness but I LOVED it! The chemistry between Aoi and Kotaro were definitely one of the HIGHLIGHTS for me, probably the best pair I've seen in a while, its just so good. There's one character that I absolutely HATED in the beginning because on how extreme his actions were, but at the end, he's the one that got me emotional the most (HINT: ep 9, the last man standing on the battlefield), SO GOOD!

I also loved how cohesive the switch back between the flashback and present. Its so hard and very complicated to make it flow smoothly but Black Sun managed to made it beautifully connected with each other, especially ep6 and 7 were PERFECTION. Then...the BEST FAN SERVICE in the opening of ep10...just chef kiss! If I have nitpicks, its that one scene/moment when the mantis kaijin in cgi mode and some foreign extras were just unintentionally funny lol but still it doesn't really took me out of the series. Finally, I'm very glad and so SATISFIED that I got to witness this 50th anniversary project from Ishinomori's legacy and I hope Toei keep up this standard and quality for their upcoming big, high budget project like Black Sun. Its crazy that we just got Fuuto PI anime which is I also LOVED, then Black Sun and now I can't wait for SHIN KAMEN RIDER next year! So good to be a long time KR fan.

AMAZING, GORGEOUS MAIN PROTAGONISTS

What to say, an Oscar actor played IN THIS DRAMA, MR. HOT NISHIJIMA! WOOOW!!! Plus GREAT ACTOR Nakamura with his singing voice which is great too as the way he delivers the message. Story wise, well you have to watch not in a rush be fokus and careful. Otherwise , you'll turn yourself like an old grandma saying "there are silly plot holes here". I have downloaded this and rewatch it 10 times. ?. Amazing. I just want to focus to these 2, because they can deliver story through the way they move the eyes and face. Sad ending though. But , what we can do about it. As long as you dong cling too much to the old story, then you'll not dissapoint yourself. I miss Tetsuo Kurata in this, I hoped he could appear, at least as a Cameo. But mr. Nishijima and mr. Nakamura, have been more than enough, to peace your eyes and brain. Ehehehehehheee
