God my head is still full of Shin Kamen Rider

good.

there's only ever been one movie that is shin kamen rider

Strip away all the stupid toy commercials and the core is rock solid

And also: I love me some fucked up cyborgs grappling with their humanity or lack thereof

The universe heard my struggle getting into it

And said “Hideaki Anno you need to make a movie for Eric”

Hongo is EXTREMELY the kind of character I might come up with if you told me to come up with a kamen rider plot
