Kamen Rider, Japan's original hero

 Hello everyone! Today, I want to talk about one of the movies I watched recently. The movie is Shin Kamen Rider!

Shin Kamen Rider is a reboot of the Kamen Rider series created to commemorate the 90 year anniversary of the birth of the original author, Shotaro Ishinomori. The director is Hideaki Anno, who is famous for Evangelion and Shin Godzilla. It stars actor Kenichi Matsuyama.

This film takes us back to the roots of Kamen Rider and questions the role of heroes in modern society. The main character, Takeshi Hongo, is a scientist who belongs to a secret government organization and develops a modified human, a fusion of human and cyborg. However, he discovers that his research is being abused and opposes the Modified Human Project. As a result, he becomes a modder himself, fighting cyborgized terrorists and monsters.


The highlight of this movie is, after all, the design of Shin Kamen Rider. Shin Kamen Rider has a biological and frightening appearance that sets it apart from the traditional Kamen Rider. He transcends the boundaries between human and cyborg, and his transformation and fight scenes are overwhelming. There are also many elements in the film that are conscious of the history and tradition of Kamen Rider. For example, the name of the main character and the name of the motorcycle are taken from the original Kamen Rider. Enemy monsters and terrorists also resemble characters from previous Kamen Rider series.


I was moved by this movie. Shin Kamen Rider is both a Kamen Rider for a new era and a Kamen Rider true to its origins. This movie is recommended not only for Kamen Rider fans but also for general audiences. Please watch it in the theater!

Exciting, SPY x FAMILY

 Hello! Today I'd like to introduce you to my favorite comic book, SPY x FAMILY. This manga, which is serialized by Tatsuya Endo on Shonen Jump +, is a sitcom in which a spy man, a hit woman and a psychic girl form a tentative family and deepen family ties despite being involved in various troubles. It was adapted into a TV cartoon in 2022 and became very popular! I think the appeal of this manga is, after all, the personalities and relationships of the characters. The main character, Lloyd Fauzier, is an accomplished spy in a Western intelligence agency who ends up starting a family to track the movements of the Eastern politician Desmond. He's a cool, calm, brainy professional, but he's out of touch with the family routine and sometimes messes up. Yol Fauzier, who plays his wife, is a hitman who belongs to an Eastern assassination organization and pretends to be a regular OL outside of work. She is a strong and beautiful woman, but she is not interested in love or marriag...

Violet Evergarden is the most beautiful story in the world

 Hi everyone! Today I want to talk about one of my favorite cartoons, Violet Evergarden. This animation tells the story of Violet, a young girl with a war-scarred mind and body, who learns the meaning and value of conveying people's thoughts through her work as an automatic writing doll. Violet becomes an automatic note-taking doll, wanting to know the meaning of the word "I love you" she heard from her beloved in war. An automatic note-taking doll is a person who writes letters and documents for clients on their behalf. Violet confronts her feelings and past by meeting various clients and being exposed to their thoughts and backgrounds. The animation is not only fascinating for its beautiful images and music, but also for its moving story and characters. Violet has lost so much in the war, but she looks so nice trying to live positively. Although she can't express her feelings well, she strives to understand the feelings of others. The clients she meets also have the...
