Good starting places in Heisei Riders would be Agito(though it's made better if you power through Kuuga and see how it improved the formula in every way), Kabuto, and Ryuli.
For Phase 2 either Fourze or Gaim, though phase 2 is when it basically becomes a live action anime.

Almost all if not all Heisen Era KR suffer from a rushed ending, and more than that, they suffer from unclear direction and their inability to produce a coherent story. Take Kabuto as example, it's so much waste potential, they could have put the movie as a tie-in prequel of the events of the series, but the movie just go a retarded direction and it's completely unrelated to the show even though the ending could have fucking fit if they had an idea of what they actually wanted to do with both the show and the movie.
People say Heisei Era is bad, and they are not that off, it's just that they are obviously Toy commercials more than anything, they have a really good premise, god if Kabuto or Kiva don't have good premise, but they are ruined by incompetence.

The thing with bad Kamen Rider series is not the fact that they were bad Except for Ghost. Ghost was REALLY FUCKING BAD. it's the fact that they had a fuckload of potential and went nowhere. For example, Wizard began with this awesome as fuck premise of science+magic, dropped it instantly, and Shunpei decided to be an annoying piece of shit for the rest of the series. EVERY SINGLE CONFLICT IN 555 COULD BE FIXED BY SOMEONE TAKING A CELLPHONE, ASKING QUESTIONS, AND GETTING ANSWERS BUT NOOOOOO, MISUNDERSTANDINGS, YOU GET DROPPED INTO A RIVER, AND KUSAKA SMILES IN THE BACKGROUND. 555 is way better if you drop it around the time Delta appears, and watch Paradise Lost instead.
And Decade takes the premise of each other Kamen Rider series up to that point, misses the point entirely, and ruins it in its own special way.
Kiva also had an awesome premise, but the suit was breaking the suit's actor back, so ultimate form spam happened. Then, the fapsword. Also, the retarded format of jumping back and forth between the 80's and the 00's. Neo-fangire's papa wasn't the worst thing that happened on the show, the whole Queen's arc and Taiga appearing out of nowhere are just as bad or even worse than the rest of the show.

Ghost pisses me off so much. It had so much potential but everything was so fucking retarded. When Specter appeared i REALLY wanted him to kick his ass HARD. There are so many things wrong with Ghost i dont even know where to start. The giant lizard pirate ship that appears a few episodes in and i believe doesnt get mentioned nor shows up for the next 25 episodes or the fact that some guy was FUCKING DYING and Ghost just went up to him, gave him a fucking hug "OH NO; HE DOESNT WANT TO DIE" and then he fucking STOPPED DYING. WHAT THE FUCK.. Also how many fucking times does the protag DIE and then COME BACK? At one point he wasnt resurrected from the brink of death, he was brought back from NONEXISTENCE. HE WAS DEAD AND GONE and a few days later he is like "oh my friends remember me, im not TRULY gone" and then he open a portal from the void nonexistence dimention into the real world and comes back like its nothing. His time limit and death was a huge plot thing that was hanging above his head everyday every episode and thats how they resolved it. Which reminds me, why so many early episodes had random timeskips between episodes where entire weeks went by with nothing happening even thou he had a fucking time limit to LIVE
I dropped it entirely a few episodes after GRATOFUL. I wanted to watch more of Specter and Necrom but it wasnt fucking worth it. I was just constantly getting angry at the show.

Haven't had a Kamen Rider thread in a while. I haven't watched KR since I quit halfway through Decade, but I hear Gaim is rather good. The premise doesn't sound great, though.
I always wished KR games would be released in English, but knowing how localization is, we'd never get the product we were supposed to get. Too bad most KR games at this point have been fighters. I want a game that really puts you in the role of a Rider and gives you upgrades to buy or build, techniques to unlock, dialogue sequences, motorcycle chases, and other Riders to fight or ally with, possibly even making this dependent on player choice. It's like how anyone who develops a Ghost in the Shell game can't seem to understand that the perfect GitS game would essentially be Deus Ex with GitS characters.

The new game is getting an English release on play-asia. You also might be interested in the DS games as they have some customization elements.
Also, if you stopped after decade, you may want to give Fourze, Gaim, and Ex-Aid a watch. They are a lot more childish than phase 1 rider but the stories definitely get good if you can stick with them.
also, Amazons is like the best of Heisei phase 1 put into one show. Definitely give that a watch. The director said he wanted to give Kamen Rider it's fangs back and he definitely did.

Gaim was interesting, in that it's like the opposite of most Heisei Rider shows: it starts out as a garish, overstuffed, technicolor toy commercial that isn't sure what it wants to be (the combination dance-offs/pokemon battles were especially jarring). And then as it goes on it starts to get better and better.
It's a nice contrast to something like Hibiki or Kabuto, which started out with a really strong concept and just totally fell apart midway through the show.
And yeah, Amazons deserves all the praise it gets. Best Rider in years. But I understand them leaving it out of the crossovers because they don't want kids learning about it. Japan's suicide rate is already high enough.
Obligatory actual vidya content: which of the KR games are actually decent? I've tried a few of 'em. but most seem to be incredibly clunky.

The implication that it's a prequel to the series is still there, and they've done nothing to dispel it.
>>13869499
>you may want to give Fourze, Gaim, and Ex-Aid a watch
To give you an idea of my tastes, I watched 555 and Kiva and found them both to be excellent. Fourze sounds somewhat interesting, Gaim sounds, well, fruity, and Ex-Aid's premise would have been better if they'd picked either biological sciences or THE MEMES, JACK as their theme instead of trying to haphazardly combine them. Ex-Aid would make more sense if it was a two-part series like Black and Black RX, or to some extent Kuuga and Agito.
>>13869566
>Kabuto fell apart midway through
How so? The ending wasn't quite as climactic as I was expecting, at least in presentation, but it was still strong up until then. I was hoping for more than just the two main Riders being involved in the last battle.
Anyway, I guess what I'd really like is a cyberpunk Kamen Rider. We've had big corporations like Smart Brain and BOARD, but rarely explored any cyberpunk themes alongside them.

if you like 555 WATCH AMAZONS. It's Agito and 555 put together with flavors from other good heisei riders.
Gaim is horribly fruity for the first 12 episodes, then suddenly gets really good and relatively Dark. Fourze is a feel good anime in live action. I thought I was going to hate it the most but it ended up being one of my favorites.

Because everything is the west tries to be grimdark and "realistic". Kamen Rider and Super Sentai are superheroes that may not always make sense or are particularly well written but they're very very fun to watch. When it's really good, it can combine over the top bullshit with some surprisingly intriguing stories.
Last season was a damn medical drama about video game themed riders fighting video game virus monsters. It was amazing. Then you have the current season about a Japan torn apart by an alien relic that's divided the country, turned it's leaders corrupt, and unleashed a new tool that allows the villains to harness magic mars gas to turn people into monsters.

Japanese comedy and timing is very different from the west. It's a matter of getting used to it.

The weirdest shit about that episode was Kagami's dad. I did laughed a lot at the fact, seeing how he was all serious in previous episodes to watch that.

They kind of fucked up trying to ground Tendou with the whole Dark Kabuto thing. It was just not needed and it was also really awkward, and it meant jack shit when he got the hyper-zecter.

Tendou is extremely multitalented and one of the most intellectually gifted Riders alongside Kamen Rider 1 and Build, but he's not perfect. Being a Gary Stu isn't just about talent, it's about character. Tendou received his Zecter when he was only 14, and he trained for 7 years to be as good as he is at all the things he's good at. However, he's portrayed as cold, occasionally morally questionable and not well-liked by others. He's essentially Dr. House, to the point that he even drives the same bike. Compare that to, say, Rey from nu-Star Wars, who masters everything instantly by the diktat of the plot and is loved by everyone unconditionally.

How the fuck you confuse menopause with Climax? Climax is more like what you do when you orgasm.

I wanted to use this argument. Thanks, anon.
>He's essentially Dr. House
Not helping his case, though, but yeah, he is misunderstood, and although that doesn't hinder him too often in battles, it makes his life as a rider harder, particularly when dealing with the other riders. As the other anon said, he is essentially Superman.

Wonderful 101 and Jetman, though the sad thing about Jetman is it's a one of a kind series that was never rivaled in quality after. It single handily saved Sentai and arguably toku in general.

Superman can still be interesting as a character with the right choice of villain. That's why his archenemy is Lex Luthor. Luthor uses brains and has the mechanisms of society on his side. However, it's hard to find good villains for someone as powerful as Superman. The only other villains that work are ones as strong as he is, like Darkseid. That said, Kabuto wouldn't have worked without Kagami. Tendou's growth as a character is less about him becoming stronger and more about him learning to deal with people. Rider shows generally rely on the main character progressing in strength, and someone needed to fill that role. Because of that, Kagami is arguably the most essential secondary Rider outside of Rider 2. Riders like Kaixa, G3, or Ixa may be cool, but they don't bring as much to the characterization or the overall plot.

I have only watched 3 sentai shows, been meaning to watch more but kamen rider is consuming most of my time.
ToQGeR, which i loved. Innocent and fun.
Go Buster, started watching it because the morphing was cool but dropped quickly because it was too slow. At times it felt like it was trying to pull a serious theme and then it would turn silly quick.
Kyuranger, the current show. Im a bit behind on episodes but i absolutely love it, specially the costumes and characters.

watch Jetman you nig, especially considering you like Kamen Rider. Jetman is like a hybrid of Sentai, Kamen Rider, and a really good mecha drama.

This thread is getting pretty long. Most Kamen Rider threads here are lucky to break 50 posts. Seems like Kamen Rider is getting more popular. I even saw someone asking about it on /leftytard/ a couple months ago. I don't know if that's a happy occasion or not. We've seen what happened to vidya when it got popular. Even in the last year or so this kind of thing has happened. Anyone who followed Drakengard/Nier before Automata came out knows that it's still happening even after people have become more aware of the possibility. It's a sad thing when people are just so fucking cancerous that you don't even want the things you like to get popular anymore because they'll just fuck it up. Maybe it's time to pull out the Hyper Zecter and/or Den-Liner and flush this timeline down the crapper.

I've learned my lesson about wanting anything I like to get popular and I imagine you have too. It's not a hipster thing, it's just been proven time and time again how once something gets big it becomes over saturated and everything good gets buried in the shit and the things that are still going become terrible.
It's better things die while they are good than get popular and get more.

It's appropriate that there's so much Kabuto discussion in this thread, because the Worms are possibly the series' best representation of normalfags. They look and talk like humans, but they're just hollow shells. Only a handful of exceptions are real people.

So, I watched some Ultraman and Power Rangers as a kid. As a jaded adult, would Drive be a good entry point? Which has good solo action scenes?
ccfca5 No.13881786
>>13881626
Drive has a lot of faults. See >>13868332
If you want good solo action scenes you may want to start with Agito, though like I said before, Agito is made a lot better if you can push yourself through kuuga.

oh, also W would be pretty good for solo action considering it mostly focused on one rider. A lot of people say it's a good entry point but that's when it became a little too cartoony for my taste. OOO could also fit that bill but I feel like OOO is pretty boring. A lot of people like it, but I really can't remember much about it.

I'd say Kuuga and Agito are good starting points
Although Kuuga tends to play more like a police drama from time to time, but it's worth it for Nuclear Godai
Then there's W and OOO for the later half of Heisei Riders (See: everything post Decade)

Well if you insist;
That one fag who also had a role in one of the Ultraman series is too powerful for Ryoutaro (he's always been weak) and they come to the conclusion that they cannot beat him with the Den-O Driver so the agressive girl and the imajin make one last wish with their wish-granting powers to sacrifice themselves and undo the new villain, but before that they give one last goodbye to Ryotaro and then they fade into nothing, leaving Ryotaro live a normal life with his older sister at the cafeteria and the agressive girl's sacrifice was becoming a loli (this actually happens because she had to leave her contract with Toei or some shit)
