#ive seen episodes of jetman & like the first episode of faiz

[clownkiwi]

so this inoue guy was also the headwriter of the devil may cry anime, jetman, kamen rider agito, faiz, kiva, & is currently the writer of the new sentai series

Ah, that explains so much

has he got any other shows you’d recommend?

kiva and faiz are the one’s you’ve seen right? if you came out of kiva liking it (good taste btw) then i think you’d be able to handle jetman. the love triangle has a lot of issues but it’s not as frustrating as the whole otoya/yuri/jiro plotline was. im biased because jetman was my second sentai but it has a lot of classic goofy sentai episodes and it invented Heated Drama Between Men and i swoon every time commander aya odagiri’s onscreen

kamen rider agito is like the one inoue show that most people agree on is Genuinely Good. a lot of tropes that he overuses (misunderstandings and miscommunication, the obnoxious ladies man, etc.) are absent so it’s refreshing in comparison to his other stuff. the plot’s very engaging and all the characters are charming and you’ll cry when [redacted] gets a puppy

there’s choukou senshi changerion, where every single second feels like a nonsensical fever dream that’s more bizarre than the last and while i can’t call it a great show i still want everyone to experience

and then there’s cutie honey the live, which is honestly my favorite toku in general but it can be kinda hard to recommend. like all iterations of cutie honey it’s centered around fanservice so ymmv on how much of that you can put up with (the first episode is especially gratuitous unfortunately), the main dude kinda sucks, and generally there’s a good chunk of jokes/scenes that just make you go :/ throughout

but all three main girls are great (it’s inoue’s best character writing imo), other than the typical go nagai fanservice jokes the show is really funny, and it’s the only toku show i can think of with multiple lesbian characters who aren’t one-off monsters like in garo. one’s a horny villain and the secondary hero is only implied to be gay so it’s not exactly ideal gay representation but i was still invested in their stories. honey/miki is the realest red/blue ship in toku and also the realest thing inoue’s ever written
