Kamen Rider Black Sun

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.

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.

From the fake crying of the lead actress, to the cringe and clichè scenes, Kamen Rider Black Sun could have been so much more.

I watched the original version when I was a kid, and this improved a lot from that, with the gore and dismemberement in battles and other adult themes, but the fake motorcycle driving scenes, where you can clearly tell the actors are in front of a green screen are laughable, tu say the least.

Storytelling-wise, the plot is convoluting, changing timelines like someone changes clothes. Not only that, but allegiances change on a flip and by the end of the season, you have no idea who is from each side, and neither you can tell which their side was in the first place.

One of the characters is dumb. Like REALLY DUMB. Won't spoil who it is, but you will figure out in the first or second episode. That, along with Deus Ex Machina moments. Make this script a bit amateurish.

I really wanted to give this a 10 for the sake of nostalgy, but yet again, Japanese producers don't fully realize the potential of a properly adult themed Kamen Rider and keep writing dumb and bland characters and plotlines.

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.

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.
