I simply wanted to show some love to this show. Tojima Wants To Be A Kamen Rider speaks to me despite not knowing much about Kamen Rider. Just want to do my small part to put it on people radar.

I saw the movie 100 meters which is from the same creator as Orb on the Movements of the Earth (Uoto). If you have that competitive spirit or were a former athlete, this movie is a must watch.
