I've always found most Kamen Rider shows take two episodes to really establish themselves, so this is really easy to narrow down for me.
Wizard's first episode is a great done-in-one, Gaim's was really solid, and Drive's is an awesome superhero origin story in 22 minutes. Other than that I don't know what'd even be close. There's memorable moments in plenty of premieres but it tends to immediately get overshadowed by something cool in the next one. Just for example, in Kuuga you've got that whole fight with the helicopter and that's cool and all, but episode 2 is where Yuusuke really decides to be Kuuga, and that fight in the burning church is one of the most memorable scenes in Kamen Rider. All my opinion, of course. I mean, that's not the only reason I'm asking this question - it's something I've wondered for a while - but it was what really motivated me to actually go out and post it.

Also, is the intent that whatever you guys like you keep watching? Because something like Wizard might end up boring people in the long run. I hate to be Mr. Obvious but why not Gaim? It's got the Urobuchi-hype for anime fans and it puts the "drug" in gateway-drug. Once you hook someone on that show, they're hooked until the very end.

Well if that's the case it probably comes down to what the crowd's tastes are like. I think the only first episodes that you'd particularly want to stay away from are, maybe Agito because it's all setup, Blade because lol early Blade, and W because it's not that great (the episode I mean, not the show).

I liked Ghost's first episode. It did a good job setting the scene and getting you ready to see what came next. At least, I thought it did.

I did a live action day at my Anime & Manga club at my community college two years ago in 2014 and it turn out pretty well. I did mostly modern stuff like Kamen Rider W, Ultraman Ginga, Kyoryuger, Cellphone Investigator Seven and Garo. I also did live action TV show adaptions of Anime and Manga like Sailor Moon, Detective Conan and Ouran High School Host Club. It was better than the first time we did live action day in 2013.
It depends on your club. I remember the first time we did live action day at my Anime & Manga club in 2013, we played the original Ultrman, Kamen Rider X, Giant Robo and Japanese Spider-Man. People end up laughing and didn't take it seriously.

You probably couldn't ask for a better crowd-pleaser than Gaim. It's got highly serialized storytelling and other stuff like that people tend to like. With something like Drive I think the viewer has to already be into it early on but Gaim actively works to pull you in with all its mysteries and whatnot. And also it's new. Which helps. Even the first few Hesei shows are probably a bit "dated" for a lot of people, at this point. I still think it's so sad people see Japanese Spider-Man as just another wacky Japanese thing to point at and laugh, considering how influential and successful that show actually was.

Damn it, I fixed it now. I think the modern stuff would be good. When I show Kamen Rider W, it turn out pretty well and people like it a lot.

If you were actor from Super Sentai/Kamen Rider Show and once the show is finished, Will you criticized the show?
Just like for example If I was cast in Kyoryuger and once the show is done, I will say this. "I'm disappointed in Riku Sanjo because I like his work from Kamen Rider W, I felt he really didn't give other Kyoryugers a chance to showcase themselves because most of Kyoryuger episodes he wrote was very Red-Centric Episodes. I know Red Ranger is supposed to be Main Hero but give others a chance! He make Daigo the Mary Sue Character! His only flaw was rubbish! He is too perfect! I think the whole sudden romance between Daigo and Amy was very unnecessary. No buildup and no hinting at all. I think Riku Sanjo is better off of writing Kamen Rider than Super Sentai" |
