13. Shin Kamin Rider
Hideaki Anno’s third and potentially final re-imagining of the Tokusatsu series that influenced his legendary works is arguably the one nearest to his heart—and his love for Kamen Rider is clear upon watching Shin. Brutal action and high camp in equal measure, it’s a superhero movie unlike any other around these days, all wrapped around a sincere heart about the fragility of human connection and what it means to live for yourself and others. If this is how Anno bows out on the Shin series after Ultraman and Godzilla, it’s a worthy final act.
