I haven’t really rated the animes I’m fixated on but I think Kikaider is really my second favorite anime with getter being first-Getter will ALWAYS be my favorite only for ryoma and just insanity-there’s just so many things about it that TICKLES my brain perfectly.

The art style, the themes, the characters, even with the flaws of mainly 01 it fascinates me and of course this series being a very huge inspiration for mega man which is made clear in the anime. (Casshern gets points for that too ofc, but since sins changed a lot from the original not all of what it inspired is present, where as the Kikaider anime is so faithful to the manga that you DIRECTLY see what it pulls from)

But the only issue stumping me now about it is “oh Kikaider isn’t that dead of a fandom compared to casshern or jeeg but it requires to go so deep down the Toku rabbit hole and most people are gonna care more for the live action than the anime” because I’m ALWAYS cursed like this

#meg text #android kikaider #I stg every series I get fixated on I always focus on the series that’s overlooked for NO GOOD reason #but this up there with new makes me equally mad especially given it got DUBBED and aired on adult swim #but they gave it the shittest fucking times imaginable so no one ever saw it #and I’m not saying the Toku is bad cause never seen it and imma be real it’s probably more coherent then the manga #and Kikaider as a concept can work in live action just they’ve never translated jiros robo design well imo #tho I’d probably willingly watch the hakaider movie cause I’m fine with that design in live action weirdly?#anyways my only luck of converting more people is if they’re already down the Ishinomori pipeline #cause I know there’s a lot of overlap with 009 fans and this but I still need to watch it LMAO
