We note that this is essentially every American teen movie if they were all partially set on the moon, we have intense feelings about all of these silly teenagers, and we realize that the monster metaphors here are actually pretty dark for a show about a boy who just wants to be friends. Plus, we briefly discuss the upcoming Reiwa Era series, Kamen Rider Zero-One — the first series to have a female Rider in the main roster?! Next time: we continue with episodes 17 to 32 of Fourze! Who is that man with a meteor for a head doing kung fu? What are the villains’ master plans? And will Gentarou actually befriend everyone at school? Be Transformed, and Stay Righteous!
