Or in promotions like these T-Shirts of Zero-One with the rest of the Heisei Riders yet nobody from the Showa Era. I feel like whenever anybody reccomends new shows to watch thier never even brought up.Hell Bluefins surveys on Kamen Rider that has a question asking 'what your favorite Rider show?' and yet it dosen't even have the Showa Riders as a option at all . Hopefully with all of the Showa shows finally been subbed entirely things can start changing more often.

It's just a lovely, cozy show which deserves more reverence.
I agree with both of these. The Showa era is tragically overlooked. I get that the special effects are dated, the costumes are occasionally very questionable, and the shows are far more episodic than the modern series, but that doesn't mean that they aren't good. There's a lot of great stuff to see going back to those older shows.
Of the Showa era itself, I'd say Black RX is definitely an underrated series. It gets a lot of flack for not being as good as Black, but it's still a decent show. If you ignore the part where it's supposed to be a sequel series (and the bits where they use domestic abuse as comic relief), it can be really good. The villains are very Sentai, but that actually makes them more memorable.
And yeah, Hibiki is a masterpiece. The first episode tends to put people off with how weird it is compared to literally every other Rider show, but once you get used to the show's style it's an incredibly enjoyable 29 episodes.
