Kamen Rider Black Sun
Generally I liked this show! It's a neat update to a classic Kamen Rider series. Honestly, I liked it a lot better than Kamen Rider Amazons.
Combining the premise of Kamen Rider Black with uh, a very left wing criticism of Japanese politics and capitalism is not what I was expecting?
Like the general arc of the show DOES work out, but I do feel like it has a bit of a major dissonance of wanting us to empathize with the Kaijin as the abused underclass turned into war weapons, but also agree that you can never find a LESS horrifying way with making people into Kaijin and that this subset of humans should be doomed to a slow extinction.
But I was not expecting it to full throat in the last episode with killing Dounami, and having Aoi start an armed non-peaceful resistance movement.
Though I will admit the story does feel, unlike Black, it's more here about the politics and the cast is less clearly written than Black, and more feel like general vehicles for the politics.
But if you want a more adult Kamen Rider, that's actually adult rather than grimdark, this is a pretty good entry.

・ ・ Amazon Prime Video独占配信『仮面ライダーBLACK SUN』を観はじめた。 オモロいけど一気観はせずにゆっくり観よう。 ・ 今の仮面ライダーシリーズを知らないからだけど、敵はショッカーじゃないんだね。 で、物語がしっかりしていて、子供よりもお父さんお母さんの方がハマる意味がわかった。 そして、結構なブラッディーはグロいね! とりあえず、ヒーローアクションというより社会派アクションな感じだね。 ・ #仮面ライダーBLACKSUN #KamenRiderBlackSun #白石和彌 KazuyaShiraishi ・ #西島秀俊 #HidetoshiNishijima #中村倫也 #TomoyaNakamura ・ #仮面ライダー #KamenRider #石ノ森 章太郎 #ShotaroIshinomori ・ #特撮 #Tokusatsu #東映 #TOEI ・ #映画 #movie #ビバムビ #instamovie #moviestagram #instagood #instapic (Tokyo Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkQUNTfJryy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Black Sun surprised me ngl. It was unsubtle and edgy, but in a very compelling way. It ain’t perfect but very impactful and entertaining. Here’s my video on it.

The opportunity to binge #KamenRiderBlackSun came to me the past weekend and I finished it today.
The series is an unapologetic attack and commentary on contemporary Japanese societal issues, the undercurrents of #unseenjapan that #cooljapan probably tried to paper over throughout the Olympics and decades of LDP rule, and it just grew keener with the assassination of Shinzo Abe and the near-interminable desire to demand change in a society unable to accept it. It is an attempt at portraying, through fiction, that Japan is more multicultural than it tends to see itself, it is harming its soul by denying that, and it deserves better by listening to its youth, and it better do so before they swallow them and their most vulnerable.
Perhaps it is inevitable that this will be another battleground in the role of political commentary/applicability especially when it is appearing in long-running franchises. This is currently the biggest dilemma of franchises like the ones owned by Disney (Marvel and Star Wars), not to mention fantasy (the recent tussles between House of the Dragon and The Rings of Powder for ex.). The fact that *Kamen Rider Black Sun* is in Amazon Prime further highlights this. And yet if Japanese fiction can begin coming to terms with contemporary issues through the medium of its classical heroes (the way *Shin Godzilla* and *Shin Ultraman* already did, not to mention *Shin Kamen Rider* will do soon again), why not this way?
It is a testament that *Black Sun*, based off *BLACK*, probably the most successfully exported Kamen Rider before the Heisei period, is the best way to do this unbridled revisioning. (I personally grew up on BLACK on IBC13 in the Philippines.) This series speaks not only to the child who grew up with Kotaro Minami/Kuya Robert, but to the man, scholar & advocate I grew up as.
This is an unrivalled opportunity to revisit how Kamen Rider stories are told, what kind of storytelling the original creator Shotaro Ishinomori is interested in, and what can heroism possibly mean in a post-nuclear, heavily polarized and infuriating time. It is finding your lines, those who will hold your hands and back, and passing them on.

It’s time to devolve into utter madness as the gang and I dig down deep into the core of Black Sun and figure out just what the hell there is to say about it that won’t get us cancelled!
