Viewing Notes

Been wanting to watch this “feature” for a while and glad DKU programmed it again (I missed it the last time it was scheduled). This “feature” is really a slightly longer standard episode but I think what makes it a “feature” is that it has two dozen of the monsters! It’s nuts but it’s nearly the entire rogues gallery from the OG Kamen Rider. The story isn’t all that great but seeing all the monsters and both Riders fight them is a lot of fun. And it has Hideyo Amamoto as the leader of the cyborg monsters. Lots of cool shit packed into 30 minutes or so.
