So, I've kinda been on a Digimon V-pet kick lately, and Bandai made an announcement regarding both Digimon and Kamen Rider.

It's a pretty eclectic bunch I think. What did you watch last year, if any?

This might be old news to most of you guys, but I just learned that they are making a reboot of the last Showa Kamen Rider. Reboot of Classic Franchise: Kamen Rider Black Sun!｜Kamen Rider WEB[Official]｜Toei Company, Ltd.
