Have I seen more than ten episodes of Kamen Rider Geats? No,

Is that enough to get a strong grip of its themes and the meaning behind the story it tells? Not Even Close.

That said there is something that feels incredibly and overwhelmingly thematically relevant about the way the opening theme sounds. You’re telling me this story about people participating in hazardous and dangerous events and challenges (all presented aesthetically as a game show) has a theme song that is very heavily stylistically similar to k-pop/J-pop idol music coincidentally? Okay- sure, I’ll buy it.

#I actually DO NOT buy it #Already the character of Ace Ukiyo feels very much like a facade made by someone who is trying very hard to get good PR #and Keiwa has been continuously forced to acept that he must be selfish and prioritize self-interest or face great loss and risk #I don’t know enough about the show to make a solid statement #I may be proven wrong in 2 episodes #but very much I can see a budding narrative of the relationship between entertainment and people #as well as the current state of various industries and the manners in which one can get far #within a flawed system #kamen rider geats #you have my attention now
