Let's Go!! Rider-Cast Part Seven (The Manga, Vol 1-4)
Added 2021-03-12 17:00:06 +0000 UTCOn this week's rider-cast we're taking a little intermission in the form of an exploration of the Kamen Rider manga from 1972, penned by Shotaro Ishinomori himself. Obviously it's a classic in every sense of the word, but we're here to discuss its inner workings as a cross-promotional item as well as a reflection on the early imperfections of the original show. We also discuss the absolutely wild swings this manga takes and the strong, bittersweet and oddly flawed note it goes out on. If all of that sounds cool and interesting to you, then good! Your patronage isn't for nothing! Come, hang out and enjoy the show!
(also lol isn't it funny that a new translation of this manga got announced literally as we were working on this episode?)
