Kamen Rider 555 – How disturbing…

December 31, 2005

Four episodes into Kamen Rider and I am having problems understanding who it is for.

On one hand, you have thoughtless killing and suicide attempts. I would never let my children watch it. On top of that, it is clearly high-budget, with some pretty good effects – it reminds me more of Star Trek TNG than Power Rangers. On the other hand, the plot is clearly that of a kid’s show – with a lot of product placement. (Every car or bike in the show is a Honda).

Everything else aside, it is kinda cool to see modern day Japan, and the photography director is pretty good at what he does.
