Kamen Rider Still Riding (and Kamening) to America
When we last saw the American preview for Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, the actors were godawful and the show was due on February 27th. Now the show is supposed to premiere at some point this year, and I’ve upgraded the acting from godawful to merely bad. My new biggest problem is that the main hero looks like a giant 5-year-old. Incidentally, there are apparently 13 different Kamen Riders in this series, so don’t give yourself a hard time if you have trouble telling them apart. (Via Japanator)
