LIDENFILMS' Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider is now streaming on Crunchyroll, complete with English dub and subtitle options. The series adapts the manga of the same name, following Tanzaburou Toujima, a 40-year-old man whose lifelong obsession with becoming a Kamen Rider is suddenly thrust into reality when he clashes with a villainous gang.
This seinen comedy leans heavily into themes of chuunibyou and surrealism, blending martial arts action with the protagonist's unwavering, albeit delusional, belief in his superhero destiny. Despite his age, Toujima's pursuit of his dream becomes a dangerous, yet darkly humorous, adventure as the line between fantasy and reality blurs.
With a MAL score of 7.82, the series offers a unique take on the tokusatsu genre, appealing to those who enjoy absurd humor and characters grappling with arrested development. The complete 24-episode run is available for binge-watching.
