First (assuming Masked Ride-Der doesn't count): Kabuto.
Favorite/Best: Agito. No other Kamen Rider will satisfy me now. It's just that perfect. Least Favorite: Honestly? Wizard. Decade's all kinds of crap, but I had hopes for Wizard and it's one of the most boring tokus I've ever seen. |

First Rider Series/Favorite Rider Series Kamen Rider Fourze It had everything I love in any series. Charming characters, an involving storyline, and excellent monster designs. The Zodiarts and Horoscopes continued to just get better and better. And the story was even better. It moved you, it made you care about these characters. I remember tearing up atleast three times while watching this. When Ryuusei 'killed' Gentaro, and then when Gentaro came back as Cosmic and kicked much ass. When Yuuki was losing herself to Gemini and thought she'd never be herself again. And the end. When I thought Kengo was going to die, and nothing could save him. Least Favorite Rider Series Kamen Rider Hibiki It's not a horrible series. It's just so radically different from any other Rider series that I coudld never get into it. The one thing about the series I did like, though, was the movie "Hibiki and the Seven War Oni." A KR take on Seven Samurai. The music was good though, especially when they all came together to use their weapons to defeat someone. Music weapons: Always a good idea. |

My first exposure to Kamen Rider ( outside of American adaptations and the kamen rider sega cd game that made its way here ) was OOO in the superhero time opening of Gokaiger.
I thought he looked cool enough so I gave it a chance and fell in love. Next came Fourze and Den-O. Thanks to the OOO & Den-O team up movie I became curious about that. I liked W & Decades designs so I watched them also. Also currently watching Wizard, so here is the score card First Rider - OOO Favorite Rider - OOO Favorite show overall - Den- O Least favorite - Decade. ( he is a tool ) Favorite Secondary Rider - take a wild guess !

I've only seen three series so far so my range is rather narrow but regardless. My first and favorite series is W with Decade as a second favorite. My least favorite so far is Wizard but that just means it's my third favorite as again, I've only seen three. I am watching Kiva right now, but I've only seen one episode so far, I will say that it may challenge W as m favorite though.

First Kamen Rider I ever watched was Masked Rider, which I thought was great as long as you muted the American inserts.
My first "real" Kamen Rider series was watching Black RX in the Raw when I was in college. At that time (1998 or so), fansubs were few and far between, and Raws were about all you could hope for. Still was a lot of fun even raw! My first subbed Kamen Rider series is the original, which I am watching currently thanks to KIT Subs. I have not seen enough to have a least favorite, although I am really digging the original, and Black is pretty darn awesome as well. I will always have a soft spot for Black RX as well.

My first rider series ever was Kiva and he is still one of my personal favorites. As far as favorites that would be a tie between OOO and Kiva but over all I'd have to say Kiva. Not just cause it was my first it also has some of my favorite rider designs. Namely my favorite is Saga.

Okay, so my first Rider show. That's actually kind of hard to answer. I got interested in Kamen Rider back in mid-2009 after watching some toy reviews from Vangelus and TJ Omega. I generally respect their tastes and was curious to see what this "Kamen Rider" thing was all about. So I started by watching the first episode of the current Rider series: Decade. I was pretty instantly hooked - it looked very cool and fun and was very different from Power Rangers, which I'd gotten back into during Dino Thunder. But I don't really count Decade as my first series because, after that one episode, I decided that the best way to watch it was to see the previous nine shows first, so that I could really geek out when I saw all of those old characters and worlds come back (yes, I know - I learned about that about halfway through Agito).
So with Decade not an option I started up Kuuga. I caught the first two episodes and absolutely fell in love with the show. And that's when I found out that it wasn't fully subbed (again, this was mid-09). That left me kind of depressed, but it also led me to move on to Agito, which I truly consider my first Rider show, as it's the first show I watched to completion. It still stands as one of my personal favorites, too. But not my all-time favorite. No, my all-time favorite Rider series is kind of a toss-up between Black and Hibiki. I usually go with Black because Hibiki, although a masterpiece, was tragically left unfinished due to executive meddling. I try not to let the last nineteen episodes damper my love for the show, but I can't ignore the fact that the real Hibiki is unfinished. Black, on the other hand, is pretty much perfect for me. It's got a lot of the Showa era episodic structure, but does have an ongoing plot that frequently returns. The hero is really likable and has a great suit design. The villains are all fantastic and memorable, especially Shadow Moon. The action scenes are great, the music is fantastic, the stories are usually really good (especially the ending arc)... honestly, I can't think of any way in which Black isn't an amazing show. I tend to think Hibiki has better high points than Black, but Black is consistently amazing. Least favorite? Surprisingly, it's not Kiva (sorry to disappoint you, coturos ). I mean, don't get me wrong, Kiva's a really bad show and definitely first runner up on my least favorite list, but the all-time bottom has to go to 555. There are just so many, many things that go wrong with Faiz. The show is full of ridiculously over-the-top melodrama, the characters are constantly making everything worse by (often pointlessly) refusing to talk about even simple things, and then Kusaka comes along and just makes every awkward situation even more intolerable. And what do you get as a reward for making it through all that? An ending that's just a series of cliffhangers. Kiva had a lot of problems - a lot of the same problems, even - but at least it had an ending. |
