1000 years ago, creatures known as Greeed were created from magically powered medals, cell medals for their bodies, and core medals that take the powers of animals for their souls. These creatures were sealed away but in the present day they are released. The only one who can stop them is Hino Eiji, a traveller who cares for others before himself and wants nothing except his pants for tomorrow. He meets a mysterious floating hand, the remains of the Greeed Anhk who is fighting the other Greeed and who give Eiji the power to transform in Kamen Rider OOO. The two form an unlikely alliance and fight the Greeed and their monster offsprings the yummy who are created from human desires.
(1 series, 48 episodes, Finished)
This is a great entry in the Kamen Rider series, commemorating the 1000th episode in the franchise (it took me a while to get the link) and celebrating 40 years of the Kamen Riders. It has everything one could want from a tokusatsu series, great action, awesome super powers and an amazing story. OOO himself is a very good entry as a Kamen Rider, fitting most of the requirements and adding his own unique flare. His major selling point is that his form and powers are dependant on the combinations of the medals he uses. And since each medal set comes in threes (each with their own powers) and there are 6 different sets of threes, this means that there is a wide variety of powers to see. The story is really good, being both a satire for human greediness and packed with amazing fight scenes, excellent plot twists and fantastic characters. Every character is loveable, whether you're watching the heros or the villains (except for one character who you hate from the word go). There is a secret organisation with an interest in the medals run by mr Kogami, and he is easily the most unforgettable character you will ever see. A great series, an all around favourite and thoroughly enjoyable to every kind of fan.
