This is the little side project that I've been vaguely mentioning every so often. One of my favorite Kamen Rider series ever, and one of the few modern Tokusatsu series to stay close to Shotaro Ishinomori's ideals as a story teller.
This is really the story of Asumu Adachi, a young boy who's at the cusp of growing up. He's taking his High School entrance exams, he's not sure of what he wants to do with his life, he has a hard time connecting with people around him, and he just met a super hero.
The show was based on an idea for a new type of Tokusatsu hero, created by Shotaro Ishinomori, called "Sonic Sound Riders." Not a lot is known about the original incarnation of this story, but we can assume that until a staff change around episode 30, the show that we got was actually pretty close. As future releases come out, I'll go into more of what I know about this. Until then, watch the first episode, and enjoy.

For a side project that I didn't want to involve the rest of the group in, this project sure had a lot of outside help! Big thanks to: ShinkenAnon, UK Windom, Castiel, and Scissors Jaguar for all of their help on this.
Now, there's a lot that I want to say about this project, and why I chose to do it. I'm putting that ALL under a cut, because it's a rant. I'd strongly appreciate it if you read on, though. This was a complicated decision for me, and I'd like everyone to understand why I chose to go ahead with this release.
