Hiya. Recently got into Kamen Rider partly thanks to your viewing orders. Out of curiosity, will there ever be a viewing guide for the Showa Era, or is it highly unlikely we'll see one?
Hi there! Always glad to see people get into Rider, and always glad to know that my guides help!
(For those reading this who aren’t aware, the Viewing Guides are explained over here! It’s currently (May 19, 2021) my pinned post.)
Right now, I don’t have plans to make a Showa guide. For the most part, any movies from that point were either stand-alone works, such as ZO and J, or they were ‘extended’ cuts that combined two or three episodes into a theatrical release. Most of the manga releases are iterations unto themselves, as well.
So, Showa Viewing Order is a project for a later time, if I do one.
However! I do have a similar project planned - a franchise-wide chart of how characters in each season refer to each other. It’s based on the Ex-Aid one that @aquabluejay made, but I elected to go more in-depth and include as much pronoun usage as possible.
It’s very much a work in progress, since I have to watch through a good amount of each show to gather information, so it’ll be a bit yet before I feel comfortable releasing it. But yeah! That’s a thing to look forward to!
