I grew up with Kamen Rider Black. Although it had some fruity ideas in some of its episodes (see below), most of it was prety good. It's story was more or less "dark" (relatively speaking) and serious and there were times when I was freaked out as a kid.
About those fruity ideas, there was one with killer necklaces, one where they stole dreams from people and there was this one episode where there was this powerful monster...
so the bad guys conspire to make it more powerful...
by feeding it omega-3 fatty acids...
which come from fish...
so they take like all of the fish in Japan and feed it into this mammoth monster.
...yup.
