Synopsis

Tanzaburou Toujima has spent his entire life chasing a dream: to become Kamen Rider. Now, at 40, reality has nearly caught up with him, and he's on the verge of letting go of his childhood fantasy.

That is, until he gets caught up in a crime wave led by the "Fake Shocker" gang—turning his long-time dream into something far more dangerous.

What starts as a pretend hero's journey quickly becomes something real. The ultimate Kamen Rider fantasy is about to begin!

Preliminary (3/? eps)
This is easily one of the most unique anime to come out this season. For anyone disappointed by the rough animation of One Punch Man Season 3, I’d say give this a try. It’s a surprisingly well-made action comedy that deserves more eyes on it.

The story follows a group of adults who still hold on to their childhood dreams of becoming Kamen Riders and fighting evil forces. It’s funny, lighthearted, and the characters are weirdly relatable. The 40-year-old main character especially feels like a fresh change from the usual teenage heroes.

Despite the shortcomings, the idea is excellent, but the superficial execution is a real disappointment. The characters are like empty shells, quite silly.

Really not a great show. I'm surprised to see anyone giving this anything over 4/10.

Although, Inuyashiki did it first. I think that there are some humorous parts but mostly the comedy sucks.

Animation: 5/10

The quality is okay, sometimes even good, but a lot of the proportions are weird and most of the time it doesn't look great. The actual art style is bland and looks like any other shitty anime. The ...
