30 Days of Anime - Day 19

Day 19 - Favorite Shonen Anime

Kamen Rider

So...I'm going to cheat on this one a bit. There's a nice chunk of shonen series that I've seen and liked, but choosing Kamen Rider makes this decision so much easier for me. The Kamen Rider franchise has been going for more than thirty years, and has made a huge impact on the media. An insanely large amount of parodies have been used in anime, manga, doujin, games and even live-action shows. It even holds the title of "Show that was brought over to America that was brought back over to Japan." The most commonly used trademarks this show has used was the pose, and the red scarf of the badass.

Bonus points for knowing all the series parodying here. [Yes, there's fanart in here too.]

It's been a few days since me throwing down this, so I'm going to post the top row
