Kamen Raidâ Burakku

I was only 8 years old when 'Kamen Rider Black' first came out, and I've been a huge fan ever since. I just bought the DVD sets a few weeks back, and man, they are good, even after all these years. Just about everything in the 'Kamen Rider Black' are great, it's a classic to me. All Kamen Rider Black fans should get the dvd sets right away. I also bought the Kamen Rider Black RX series, and I have to say that I don't like it as much as the original, it's just not as good.

If you don't want kamen rider show that isn't too light or dark well this show is for you.

I'm a new Kamen Rider fan who's only in his early 20s, so I only recently watched Black. Most KR fans I talked to said that Black was really good, but also warned me about how dated it was. I'm very glad I chose to watch it anyway! The plot features Kotaro Minami (Played by Tetsuo Kurata) directly after escaping from Golgom, a cult that kidnapped and experimented on himself and his adoptive brother. The story, when it shows up, is very good and kept me entertained the whole way through. The one downside to the storytelling style is how "Monster of the Week" it feels. Most of the time, this isn't an issue. but keep in mind that some episode's villains are more entertaining than others. The soundtrack is fantastic, and my friends and I got genuinely pumped up when the Henshin or Fight themes came on. The acting is pretty typical for the Showa era Riders, which is to say that while the main character and main villains are fantastic, some of the supporting cast and side characters are...not. I personally find that this adds to the charm of the show. ONE LAST WARNING, if you are prone to seizures/epileptic, TREAD CAREFULLY. This is an old show with old special effects, meaning extremely bright flashing lights and high contrast. Other than that, I hope you enjoy the show nearly as much as I did!

As a kid when I came across Kamen Rider Black it was fantastic the show is dark despite some mess up things that I saw in there that I would still remember about how it all started until the end. I think this show is a masterpiece and highly recommend to be wroth the watch and with a good story telling. 10/10.

I had seen a few episodes of different kamen rider shows my uncle brought back from japan. I loved kamen rider since i was a kid. When I saw the DVD set I had to get them. I was really glad I did. The Kamen Rider Black series is amazing. The story is really good. The monsters are cool. The special effects are.. funny sometimes. What I really love about this show is that it doesn't seem like a kids show. People actually die and it doesn't always have a happy ending..

The acting in this show is also pretty good. Not amazing but good. I love the antagonists in this show. The gorgom cult.

Overall this was a really good show. I haven't seen much of the other kamen riders so I cant compare it but I'm about to see the v3 shows soon.
