    flawed masterpiece

    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.

    Great reboot! Very grounded in reality!

    This reboot is great in it's own regards! Very grounded in reality, like Watchmen.

    It is gory. Definitely not for kids. I have been told the Kamen Rider mangas are gory and the Kamen Rider is more organic and bug-like, kind of like the kaijin monsters he fight. In that case, this series is probably very close to the original creator's vision.

    Also, I live in the US. On the release date of Kamen Rider Black Sun, I searched for it on the Prime Video app and Amazon. I wasn't able to find it. I searched again on the day after. I used the English and Japanese name, still couldn't find it. I have to go on here and click on the "Watch On Prime Video" link to be brought to the page. I wonder did anyone else had the same problem.

    Love it But still lack of VFX!

    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.

    this is good even though there are things that are lacking

    The story of this series is quite complex, about the discrimination of the kaijin, creatures with mysterious origins, which here are not well received in society. On the other hand there is an organization called gorgom, which tries to solve this problem, but goes further and further, the truth about the kaijin and conspiracies about the gorgom organization, makes the dark story and core problem of this series more visible. Actually this series is good for me, The plot of the story is quite complex, so it's not only about discrimination, the origin of the raider's strength is also explained, and explained well, even though it still has plot holes. Conspiracies and topics of racism are well explored and conveyed, and delivered from the side of young and adult kotaro, although this series still has many questions. In terms of character, actor hidetoshi Nisijima plays the character of Kotaro Minami very well, with a cold, firm attitude, and looks authoritative. Understandably, the actor himself has won an Oscar for the film Drive My Car that he starred in, so he can portray the character of Kotaro very well, and is very suitable for him, even though his character is a little different from the original version. Not to forget actor Tomoya Nakamura as Nobuhiko, who once again played a very good role, in playing the character of Nobuhiko who was very cold, indifferent, but still authoritative, this time his character was made the same as the original version. And there is also the character Aoi Izumi, played by Kokoro Hirasawa, who here takes a very important role for the story in this series. His character is firm, intelligent, and strong, making him the best way in this series. But even so, there are still some actors, whose acting is a little stiff, but it's not a problem, because each character in this series has its own uniqueness and purpose. And one more thing that impressed me, is very very good instrument music, and describes the atmosphere that happened, with an interesting background and describes what is happening in the present, and in the past. And I, too, was surprised when the song O S T kamen raider black played at the end of the episode, which really made me nostalgic. Plus the ji ai from this series who is not canned, even equivalent to the holiwud series. From all the statements above, there are still some things that are lacking in this series. Among them are story plots that still have question marks, the origin of Kingstone is still not explained properly, the side of the high-ranking gorgom that has not been explored, how can Aoi have a belt, and honestly I don't like the ending, which is anticlimactic, and too rushed and almost non existent. Shock. Even though I hope a lot, so that the ending is epic and full of battles, even though this is the only sad ending episode of.

    Could have been so much better

    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.
