ITT: which of the two eras is superior?
(NeoHeisei/Phase II doesn't count as separate. It's all Heisei.)
Thread One will be on Kamen Rider

Taisho
Showa for violence, male MCs and practical FXs.
Heisei for themes, waifus and digital FXs.

>Heisei for digital FXs
Early Heisei shows had practical effects too though.
>>15377813
But which is better?
>>15378293
Look at his image you dumb shit disturber.
>>15378195
Every Heisei show has practical effects as well dumbo
>>15378317
I didn't allow a both choice.
You gotta choose.
Both

Showa.
Late Showa to be more precise.

You need to go back, Pedro.

Pretty much this. The 80's was the height of Japan's economic pull before the bubble burst. The sentai, Kamen Rider, and Metal Heroes of that decade were amazing. Too bad Ultraman only had 1 installments in the early part of the 80's.

Man, what the fuck happened to Japan? When you look at anime in the 70's and 80's as well as toku, the male characters were actually dudes. They weren't the whimpy herbivore nu-males of today. They had more fortitude and less of a metrosexual attitude.
I mean, if you introduced a hero from the 80's into today, the whole culture shock from the protagonist as well as the audience would be jarring. Like Layzner's Eiji Asuka or Jiraiya from the 1988 Metal Hero series.

Late Showa is good as Kamen Rider Black is my favorite Rider series, but early Hisei has some great quality.
>Kamen Rider Kuuga
>Kamen Rider Agito
>Gamera Trilogy
>90s Godzilla
>Mothra trilogy
You can't go wrong with any of these.

You clearly have no idea of what Rider's were around in the 80's beyond whatever aired in your third world shithole, ie Black and RX. Word to the wise, Super-1 and the ZX special were not better to the series before them.
>>15378768
Because that scares Japanese moms about making their children delinquents

You're in the shithole of the internet getting elitist about karate cyborg bugs. Lighten up.

>delinquents
>tfw Bo7's anime got cancelled because they thought the series promotes bullying
It's too bad there can't be more series showing how screwed up moms are like Liveman was.
>>15378992
>screwed up moms are like Liveman was
Liveman is a mom?
>>15379024
I mean the series features a screwed up mom. Apologies for the confusion.
