Fourze and Amazons, if it counts

Well you have to go under a theme more like
Story wise: amazons or Gaim if amazons counts
Gimmicks: Decade, Fourze, or OOO's
Character wise: Fourze or W
Sillyness: Fourze, First half of Gaim, or Ghost
Also I just realized that W, OOO, And Fourze have a pattern of 2,3 and 4. Im a fucking idiot. Also Ex-aid looks interesting

So I haven't seen any kamen rider before but I just finished reading the manga. I couldn't find anywhere to watch the show so I'm watching kamen rider the first right now and I'm wondering if it was as big a dissapointment for you guys as its being for me.

My pick for "Rider of the Era" is Drive, I'll be nonconformist.
Its like japanese knight rider, and first kamen rider from all those years with mature looking hero.

>No mention of anything pre-Blade so far
Hibiki is the biggest disappointment, Ryuki's ending coming in at second worst ending after Hibiki's
Godai Yusuke Kuuga is the best Rider
Blade, Faiz, Foruze, Amazons, Agito best series
Best story I'll also have to give Blade.
Best overall pace from beginning to end for me is Fourze though.

It had kamen rider SPAAAAAAAAACE and kamen rider BRUCE LEE doing ridiculous FRIENDSHIP things, and the best actually useful supporting cast. I haven't seen all the rider shows, but of the ones I've seen, the supporting cast that wasn't riders did jack and shit, but especially in the movies the side characters actually have to do things in fourze.
And instead of just being about hit things harder or hit things on fire Fourze's powers were all about utility.

Kuuga was good with the supporting cast being useful. Especially with how the police force/police weapon R&D actively try to find ways to deal with the Grongi.

If you dug Amazons and OOO, check out Ryuki and Den-O, the head writer for those two are the same person.
Also, you'll probably like W, since the guy who wrote Drive also did that.

Agito is probably my favorite as well. Just all the little things they got away with, like adult characters smoking/drinking booze, and making the Lords pretty legit creepy.
Also, one of the few times, that I can think of, where the monster suits had moving mouths.
Hikawa was great as well.

There's no figma. Just the RAHs, SH figuarts, and the SIC line. the figuarts have loose joint issues. The SIC line is cool. Bigger and embellishes the animalistic parts of OOO. But I think some of them have minor joint issues too. The RAHs are super detailed and show accurate as fuck. Plus it's the only line with human Ankh. I found the OOO RAH cheap online but I gotta know whether they're a worthwhile line before considering getting it.

Right now I'm gonna start getting OOO figures then the Wizard SICs and then move on to probably Kuuga if I like the show enough. Only just started watching that one.

A clusterfuck from the very beginning to the end.
Most bad rider series simply don't reach their potential and fall flat, even when there are some glimpses of awesomeness here and there.
Like 555, Hibiki, Kiva, Decade, Wizard and Ghost.

Couldn't stomach 555 past the first episode. Watched Wizard all the way through. Loved it but I will admit it had three factors that mad it bad. Lack of characterization, the phantoms never win, and the last two episodes are absolute nonsense. I'm watching Kiva right now, which is why I asked. It's definitely a clusterfuck of mystery and frustration. I just hope most if not all things are answered towards the end.
Also Drive should be on that list. It's movies alone make it a bigger clusterfuck than Kiva.

The premise had a fuckload of potential with their magic and science premise. But then KOYOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE happened for 49 episodes.
Just like Ghost. A hellish world spearheading an invasion to earth, the main character that died to fight against ghosts, the best heroes of humanity getting recruited and possessing people, and then 49 episodes of hugging people happened.

I know but Drive has those kind of movies that are so full of errors that you can't even consider them canon even when the show references them. Fourze was the only one I found with two actually decent movies.

Would've been passable if there was at least some semblance of character growth and actually risk fighting the phantoms. It's boring if the hero wins every single encounter and manages to save just about everyone.

Anyone else agree that Fourze singlehandedly has the best Kamen Rider movies ever? They're pretty damn great, compared to other KR movies, and got a lot of heart. You really can tell the actors are putting their best into it. Genuinely cried in the second movie. Even the one with OOO's was good and OOO's has terrible movies. Haven't seen the Ultimatum one with Wizard but maybe one day. I wasn't sure about Fourze for the longest time but going through the series and watching the movies, I genuinely like it a lot. Even if the forms are weak compared to the base one. It's definitely in the top tier of Kamen Rider shows.

Her being a staple character that is somehow the daughter of fucking Skull and ends up marrying Accel, therefore ruining two characters along with Shotaro is more angering to me haven't watched Kiva
In Returns Accel, she nearly files for divorce because Ryu has been trying to keep her safe from a Dopant who strapped a bomb to a girl (who is also a retard but at a lesser grade than Akiko) who's now handcuffed to him.

I've tried getting through it some more. But even with trying to ignore her, I have gripes about the show that bug me but don't really make me hate it. I'm not big into the usb/flashdrive transformation idea. Then, and I'm hoping this gets better explained, I can't wrap my head around how Phillip's mind works. I'm guessing all the bookshelves are just a visual metaphor but then why does he seemingly carry around random books that seem to have info he needs?
