Let’s get on with today’s lesson. If you’re a newcomer to this site, I would recommend you read that first.Good. Instead, I want to give readers a chance to find an intro themselves, by presenting series I think are good representations of the various franchises, and some reasons to check them out.“Wait a second, what’s this ‘tokusatsu’ you’re talking about?”I already gave a pretty good overview of “toku” in general when I started my articles on Garo: Makai no Hana. I find it odd that while anime and manga have achieved so much attention and representation over here in the United States and other English-speaking areas, toku hasn’t found the same kind of success.This isn’t an article to examine the reasons why, to point fingers, or lament the lack of official support for accessible subs or localizations. I’ve fallen deeply in love with the genre in the past couple years I’ve been watching, and want to increase its visibility.
(In comparison, Ultraman debuted in 1966.) But the heroes that Ishinomori designed found their way into pop culture to become icons themselves.It’s a shame then, that a lot of modern, English-speaking fans of the series haven’t checked out some examples of the franchise from this time period. At this point, “toku” shows had been a thing for over a decade, and Japanese TV was replete with other kid-friendly superheroes. While my focus has been mostly on covering currently-airing series with my writing time being limited by my job, there are still a lot of other excellent Rider I want to discuss in more depth.Here, I will highlight a bit of the history, some good places to start for newcomers, and some lesser-known series that I wish more people would check out.For a nicely compiled, more or less complete list of the series and where to find fan subs, check out Origins and the Showa era:Kamen Rider was first created and debuted in 1971 by manga artist and creative talent Shotaro Ishinomori. At the time, Ex-Aid was going full steam ahead and I was in the middle of rewatching a few other series I greatly enjoyed.
But then again, I’m not going to pretend these shows are also highly polished, expensive art pieces either. I think that’s in bad faith – I mean, it’s not like Toei’s CGI work currently in Rider is a comparative marvel of engineering. In addition to that, many viewers are put off by the impressions of bad effects and bad acting. Now most of them have been completed decently well by different fan sub groups so there’s no excuse anymore.
The tone changes dramatically when he’s replaced by Rider 2, Ichimonji, but also begins to bring in more elements that are recognizably part of Kamen Rider. It’s important to also understand that the first dozen episodes or so feature Fujioka as the original Kamen Rider, Takeshi Hongo. And one that pays off more than you’d think with genuinely engaging, effectively-crafted stories and characters.Look, all I’m saying is give them a chance.It now has subs thanks to XIG, and if you want to see where the franchise came from, there’s no better place to start. But again, if you’re interested in seeing the origins and development of the franchise, it’s an important history lesson. Because of the episodic nature of these series, I personally find it difficult to sit and binge through them in the same way I did with a lot of modern series. Not all the episodes in a series are going to be strong, but the best series try out lots of different things, and when they work, they work really strikingly well.
Buckets of fake blood and rubber foam dismemberment.Hands down my favorite of the Showa-era series (I say, still having not finished watching Black). A pretty good kid sidekick character. Unique protagonist with a heart-wrenching main arc questing for acceptance, fighting for others even as he finds himself unable to integrate into the society he protects. Get a feel for the horror roots of the franchise with the initial run, and see where many of the other common elements entered with Rider 2’s introductionIt’s short, weird, and 100% worth watching for those two reasons alone.Reasons to watch: AAAAAAAAA-MAAAAAAAA-ZOOOOOOOON!. (The budget also improves dramatically past this point!)Reasons to watch: The series that started it all.
A combination of early CGI and hand-drawn effects, along with practical props and suits that have aged remarkably well. It’s aged far better than most other Showa series, even if it does lapse into silly episodic plots like other installments of this era of the franchise at times.Reasons to watch: Minami Kotaro’s gorgeous cheekbon-er I mean intense acting talent. A high-stakes, emotional finale which not only serves as an effective send-off for Skyrider himself, but the concept of Kamen Riders in general.I haven’t finished watching this series yet (it’s languishing on my hard-drive, stopped at about episode 12) but I’ll throw a recommendation for it in here too. Fun guest appearance episodes that help to integrate the themes of Rider across all the heroes who have borne the name. Then the crossovers provide a lot of fun interaction between the heroes, as well as plots that feature the best Showa-style horror that edges between ridiculous and terrifyingly brutal.If you want to summarize the best of the Showa era in a single package, Skyrider is it.Reasons to watch: A polished, updated take on the original series with a talented, charismatic lead. (excepting the original Rider 1 and Amazon, one of whom had his acting career take off and couldn’t return, and the other who left acting behind entirely after his own show ended.)The first half of the series puts a new coat of paint on the original Rider format and style, pulling off some very polished takes on the same themes and storylines.
In the meantime, Toei created a few movies which were intended to serve as pilots, exploring alternate takes on the core tenets of the franchise.Some of them more successfully than othersReasons to watch: The most important elements of Rider distilled down into a 45 minute movie and boasting direction and monster design from Keita Amemiya (the creator behind Garo, among many, MANY other things). The 90’sAfter Black RX (a direct sequel to the original Black series) ended, Rider went off the air for a decade, due to low ratings. This series will make you cry over a motorcycle.
ZO played with that concept too, but J is literally powered by Nature itself, a direct embodiment of that theme that we haven’t really seen in another Rider narrative since. A take on Rider that almost is more like Captain Planet (or Ultraman, if you will), with a more mystical angle that plays up the concept of Rider protecting unsullied nature from brutally dehumanizing industrialization.
