this is good even though there are things that are lacking
7 November 2022
The story of this series is quite complex, about the discrimination of the kaijin, creatures with mysterious origins, which here are not well received in society. On the other hand there is an organization called gorgom, which tries to solve this problem, but goes further and further, the truth about the kaijin and conspiracies about the gorgom organization, makes the dark story and core problem of this series more visible. Actually this series is good for me, The plot of the story is quite complex, so it's not only about discrimination, the origin of the raider's strength is also explained, and explained well, even though it still has plot holes. Conspiracies and topics of racism are well explored and conveyed, and delivered from the side of young and adult kotaro, although this series still has many questions. In terms of character, actor hidetoshi Nisijima plays the character of Kotaro Minami very well, with a cold, firm attitude, and looks authoritative. Understandably, the actor himself has won an Oscar for the film Drive My Car that he starred in, so he can portray the character of Kotaro very well, and is very suitable for him, even though his character is a little different from the original version. Not to forget actor Tomoya Nakamura as Nobuhiko, who once again played a very good role, in playing the character of Nobuhiko who was very cold, indifferent, but still authoritative, this time his character was made the same as the original version. And there is also the character Aoi Izumi, played by Kokoro Hirasawa, who here takes a very important role for the story in this series. His character is firm, intelligent, and strong, making him the best way in this series. But even so, there are still some actors, whose acting is a little stiff, but it's not a problem, because each character in this series has its own uniqueness and purpose. And one more thing that impressed me, is very very good instrument music, and describes the atmosphere that happened, with an interesting background and describes what is happening in the present, and in the past. And I, too, was surprised when the song O S T kamen raider black played at the end of the episode, which really made me nostalgic. Plus the ji ai from this series who is not canned, even equivalent to the holiwud series. From all the statements above, there are still some things that are lacking in this series. Among them are story plots that still have question marks, the origin of Kingstone is still not explained properly, the side of the high-ranking gorgom that has not been explored, how can Aoi have a belt, and honestly I don't like the ending, which is anticlimactic, and too rushed and almost non existent. Shock. Even though I hope a lot, so that the ending is epic and full of battles, even though this is the only sad ending episode of.
