Kamen Rider Decade (2009)

Having just sat through this for the first time and being a toku fan who got into Rider several years after it aired, I gotta say that this was a fascinating experience. So much of this is just testing out rougher versions of concepts that would go on to be fully explored in later rider shows and the whole plot of the show is literally "all the old art assets of the franchise are being screwed up, so let's play around with them some more!" and that can be a lot of fun, especially if you don't already know a lot about Rider. But as a long time fan I can imagine the fact that most of the worlds have next to nothing to do with the show they're based on got really annoying and the way the over arcing plot plays out is probably one of the most frustratingly beautiful trolls I have ever seen. The cast are clearly doing the best they can with the clusterfuck they're given though and the score is one of the best I've heard in a while. Overall I really enjoyed finally getting to see Decade's show after having only experienced him through is later appearances for so long but this is not a show I would recommend people go seek out and watch on it's own, that ending alone requires you to go watch another movie to get the rest of the story and I'm not really down with that kinda stuff. Plus, if you don't know the reputation Decade the character and his actor have earned over the years a lot of the actual story here is just gonna annoy you so while I had a good time, I'd feel bad if I gave it anything higher then a 4 out of 10.
