Kamen Rider Schwarze Sonne

Nice reboot first it was engaging and hooking as they have added some backstory and flashbacks that are polished unlike the original one (Japanese version).

The acting is a bit inconsistent some scenes are good some are Funny and not convincing.

Character Re-Design are ok but too dark on my taste.

Like the Mix of 3DFX and Movie props costume in some scene but 3DFX in some episodes is lacking and average.

Ending is a bummer guess nothing to expect on Season 2 related to the original protagonist. It's either they are planning to expand or connect this to the modern Kamen Rider universe i dunno.

Great at start, i love the approach that its for adult, (would love to watch more kamen riders if its made this way) but story progression towards the end kind of slowly kills the joy. Ending is a bit of a letdown. Felt very underwhelming.

Pros:

• Episode 10 opening is awesome.

• Overall design is undeniably cool, just wished that the eyes are permanently red (not glow)
• Love the adult approach, just wish that theres nudity also instead of gore only. C'mon Japan, this is where you're good at.

• Lots of fanservice to the old Black series.

• Cool fights.

Cons:

• Story.... isn't as good as i hoped for.

• Character's ideals switching sometimes doesn't made sense.

• There's a line equal of "with great power, comes with great responsibility" in terms of weight, but almost 10 times longer, and they made sure you're hearing this repeatedly until you remembered all of it. It's unnecessary and kind of cringe when hearing the 10th time.

• Editing is kind of crap. I mean they can't even make the bike scenes look faster. They're like moving around 30 kmh.

But still happy they made this, despite all the cons.

Idk if theres going to be season 2 or not because it looks final enough for me, but if it somehow is, i'll still watch it.

7/10.

Nothing like the original. Everything is different. The only thing that's the same is the names. It had so much potential being adult themed but they messed it up. You would expect it to be different with at least the story line the same. NOPE! If you want to watch it, don't expect it to be ANYTHING like the original. Just pretent you're a kid that's watching a new kamen rider that just came out.

Also the fighting? Trash! Nowadays you'd expect fight scenes to have adapted. Not this one. Im TELLING YOU. The old kamen rider was a million times better than this. But like I said, if you watch it, watch it like it's its own Kamen Rider series.

The direction could have been more polished, fight choreography is just passable, vfx could have been better. Good thing the story carried it. The atmosphere and theme of the darker showa and hessei kamen rider story line was well captured. How they reinvent black's story was also well respective of the original. Costume designs and creature designs also shines here. I love the suits, specially on the two riders. I also love how they handled the cryptic lore of the kaijins and the eventual explanation on the symbol of Black Sun. I do hope they manage to find a way to make an RX in the future, hopefully, with a better direction, fight choreography, and vfx. Still a solid watch, and highly recomended, even if you are not familiar with Kamen Riders.

I really like the plot and the new storytelling that makes everything seems realistic. But I completely hate the VFX or the graphics. I mean come on man that's my childhood. Right now i'm 26 now it's could be better on special effects and the suit of kaijin should be VFX at this moment.

But i still love it the toned of the series the set-up worth to watch guys. I mean i'm not kamen rider kind of guy but i still enjoy the series.

I gave this series 8/10 I deduct marks because of the kaijin still wearing the suit man we're grown up there should be better than this. I also love the gore so much brutality.
