More doofy anime commentary.

So in episode 5 of Secret of Blue Water, the kids crash-land on an island where they find a girl whose parents were killed by... The Destron Army from Kamen Rider V3?!

The cut-rate, jet-black pointy-hood-and-mask outfits certainly LOOK like it, anyway...

You can't recognize the Ku Klux Klan?

I mean, the Big Fire organization?

That is, ...

I think you mean the Vegans from Grendaizer!

Wait, second though. The Vegans were green. Carry on.

That general outfit, for some reason, is just too popular in Anime.

It really is. Gave me mild cognitive dissonance through the entire episode, though. I kept expecting V3 to show up and Rider Kick one through a hail of bullets.

I was prepared to write it off as coincidence, but then I saw that Hideki Anno, well known Kamen Rider fan, directed the series. Still, as you say, incredibly popular 'look'.

You want cognative dissonance? When you say *Destrons*, I'm possibly getting entirely different mental image than you are, and I'm wondering why the giant robot who turns into a gun/tank/Barney/whatever is hanging out with Masked Rider... ;-)
