If you like kamen rider series, don't begin with this one! After this serie, the other "old" riders seem "very old". The story is a little bit tragic (like all the kamen rider series ^_^). Sorry, but the ending is not very happy. Good story, good fights, cool effect (in 1987), and I like the ending theme, "Long Long Ago, 20th Century". Kotaro Minami is the only Kamen Rider that comes in two different series, Black and Black RX. Be careful with the Black Masked Rider (USA), has a weird story, a cheap copy from Black RX (I think Power Ranger is a better copy of japan sentai than this BMR.)
