I'm glad you all are enjoying Ryuki. Lots of people didn't like the tone, characters, designs, whatever, and never gave it a chance to grow on them.
It's really a great series. A much different tone if you go in after series such as OOO, Fourze, or Den-O (Kiva to a lighter extent). |

I'm surprised by your ranking, but so far I'm enjoying Ryuki a lot, and though I'm only 4 episodes into Kabuto, I'm also quite enjoying that one. I think I'm not really going to be able to rank the series anymore, unless others are real stinkers, the ones I've seen are just all around great.
So for me ryuki had the strongest suits, characters and over all story then the others =] whereas decade for example was good on an 2 episode/arc basis but overall was poor, had crap characters, but I do dig decade and diends designs.=] |

I think it's just shock from someone rating a non-Showa series above Double, a series so enamored I'm still complained at for making the criticism that Double's ending was shit.
Ryuki did do goofy stuff from time to time, and there was a few occasions where it felt out of place, but it did well to break up the tension. Ryuki was serious, and the sense of optimism, that the "Good guys" would win, wasn't always entirely present, despite Shinji's protests and attempts. The world wasn't full of skepticals who secretly wanted to be friends, and that was something new for someone like me (Who, at the time, had only seen Decade, Kabuto, and Den-O in full (Double was in the middle of it's run at the time, as well)). |

Ryuki on the other hand was awesome. How everything comes together and all the characters essentially get what they want but die by doing so shows how wrong Shiro was and how resetting the timeline and letting go of Yui is ultimately the best thing. Sure it seems like a cop out but it hits home the idea of not being able to avoid the rider battle and desire. |

I'm currently watching W, & I just saw the W X Decade Movie & since all i know of Decade are a few clips & cliff notes, i have a few questions:
1. Have Decade & W met before? 2. Why did Tsukasa have a Skull card? 3. Why does brutally murdering all the Riders save the Multi-verse? 4. Why didn't he have to kill Diend? 5. What was up with the Tackle chick? 6. Why did the old man turn into the leader of Super Shocker? 7. Why did that guy who says "Onore, Decade", turn out to be with Super Shocker? (And how did he grow a moustache?) 8. What was up with "the ultimate lifeform"? 9. Why did Super Shocker design a Giant mechanical elephant? And how exactly was W able to take control of it? 10. How disappointing was it that this was technically the finale to Decade? 11. Why is Tsukasa such a dick? 12. Why is Soukichi so awesome? |

It doesn't make a lot of sense because... well, because it's this movie, but basically it's kind of a phoenix thing: the Riders are destroyed and then reborn from their own ashes to become legends that will never be forgotten. I think. It wasn't explained very well and is pretty stupid. 4. Because he didn't. 5. Tackle was Kamen Rider Stronger's partner and the first female Kamen Rider (even though whether or not she was a Rider is debatable - I think she is and that's good enough for me). She showed up as kind of like a spirit guide for Tsukasa because... um... because she did. 6. It was another reference to All Riders vs. Daishocker, where Natsumi's grandfather first became Doctor Shinigami. Only now it's explained that it was all because of a Gaia Memory. 7. That's Narutaki, a recurring antagonist from Decade. There has never been any explanation for who he is, what he wants, or why he has such a huge beef with Decade. 8. The Neo Lifeform was the final villain from the Kamen Rider ZO movie. It was just another revived enemy like the Bee Woman or Doras. 9. Because they did and because he could. 10. Monumentally. 11. Because Tsukasa is, in many ways, basically a watered down version of Tendou from Kamen Rider Kabuto, who was an epic dick. In fairness, he was even more of an asshole in this movie, but it wasn't really explained since we never saw what happened between Kaito shooting him in the face in the last episode of Decade and him going after Kabuto, Super-1, and Skyrider at the start of this movie. 12. Because he's a hard-boiled detective Kamen Rider with an awesome hat. |

I actually just got through with decade, and it was OK. I can see points were people would and would not like it. Like changing up the riders from the original actors in the different worlds (while understandable) was kind of disappointing, and I couldn't care about the characters as much. Also, I don't think Japan has the whole "anti-hero" thing down. So Decade comes off as more of a dick than a hero. But, it was still cool to watch and the action scenes were entertaining enough and W is still my favorite series so it helps when he/they show up in the finale movie.
