Kaiju no Kami Reviews - Kamen Rider Super-1 (1980) Series

[Dr Kain]

After Skyrider, Toei began production on their next Kamen Rider series featuring a scientist turned cyborg in order to explore space. This series became known as Kamen Rider Super-1. Super-1 has become quite a controversial show thanks to the actions of its lead actor, who swindled fans out of money for his own personal gain. Is Super-1 as deplorable as its lead actor? Or is this one worth venturing towards? Let’s find out.

I always loved the theme song, suit and his abilities. The show isn't that interesting IMO.

Yeah, I found it to be quite boring. Not Skyrider bad, as it didn't have anyone like Gan Gan G in it, but it didn't do anything different than any other Showa rider show. No wonder Sentai becamse Toei's main focus.

Imagine hating the best showa Kamen Rider series (and until Drive the best entry in the franchise) over Gan Gan G.
