wow. what hurts me the most is that there will be many people who will not view it as black satire. incredibly poignant. It's about time somebody was so brave to produce something so incredibly in-your-face about what societal problems really exist.

I had a look at that beast you guys referred to. I just want to know why they are sticking with such insulting design processes? This is why I can't get into Kamen rider easily these days. The design processes for the series from faiz through decade, had an elegant and thoughtful design procedure. The designers clearly gave though to the themes of the show and created a costume design that was sympathetic to the show and also sympathetic to the viewer. But since then, the designs have gotten more and more haphazard. They seem to be favouring gimmicky shapes and moulded plastic that doesn't seem sympathetic at all. this beast guy? how does his costume lend credence to what he does, where he comes from, what story he is supposed to tell? I mean, it is quite insulting isn't it? if his suit is supposed to represent magical energy in the form of a beast, then where is the fur? beasts created by magic are not likely to look like moulded plastic. how is that design respectful or sympathetic to me? If I were to imagine a magical beast, I would be thinking of shimmering fur. If the suit is supposed to represent a man made object, then it needs to be represented in a way that suggests stress management etc. padding or plate armour, chitin etc. I see none of this. I see no evidence of how this is even remotely realistic and as such, it is impossible to take it seriously. This is different from super sentai as they have an established convention of Applied Phlebotinum.
