... oh, on a point completely unconnected to Kuuga (but, kind of, considering era starters): have you started Zero-One? Or do you want to do all the Heiseis before that?

It's like, I can't watch Zero-One until I watch Zi-O. I don't know how strictly true that is in the sense of spoilers or narrative connections, y'all who've seen Zero-One might be like "Don't worry about it", but my brain won't let me. But I can't watch Zi-O until I watch the first 10 Heisei Riders, so, yeah. This is the mental prison I've built for myself.

It, man. It makes me wonder sometimes if I'm being obsessive, or if I'm being manipulated.

Well, how do I put this... I watched Decade after only watching Kiva, Kabuto and Den-O (and also every post-Decade show at that point). I was able to enjoy it without watching all the other shows, and with me now only having Blade and about half of Faiz to go; I'm looking forward to a rewatch!

Of all the cool-sounding Heisei Phase 1 series (Den-O! Kiva! Ryuki! Hibiki!), I think the one I'm most curious about is Blade. No spoilers, but it's weird to me how many fans mention that as the one Heisei series they haven't done. My only exposure to any of Blade was the Gorider series, which I thought was enormously clever. He seemed okay in it? But, yeah, I know that Blade didn't do so hot on broadcast, and it doesn't seem to get a lot of love in the fandom, so that's interesting to me. I'm looking forward to finding out maybe why that's a series so many fans skip, or save until later.

I crab about feeling locked into watching a certain amount of Kamen Rider shows in a certain order, but, like, I love watching Kamen Rider shows. It's a good problem to have, all of these unwatched series! Still a problem, but, y'know, I don't mean to sound, like, furious at Terrence Toei, the president of Toei (check the wiki!).

I decided my remaining four Heisei Shows (Kuuga, Ryuki, Faiz, Blade) should be done in order, but aside from that it was mostly individual circumstances. I wanted to get Hibiki "out of the way" because of all the bad things I'd heard about it, and I wanted to watch Agito before Kuuga because everyone told me to do the exact opposite. So it really just ends up that Blade is my last out of circumstance which is fun, because I keep hearing nothing but good things about it and initially it was the FIRST pre-W show I wanted to check out! Partly because, fun fact; in Fourze X OOO, the monsters Aqua was shown fighting in the future? Re-used suits from Blade. |

I have seen everything from Kuuga onwards apart from maybe the odd movie except I stopped watching Ghost and I don't mean to be controversial early on but I also gave up watching W! Maybe I missed something in that show seeing as most people liked it but for one reason or another I just couldn't get into it.

I'd also say Ghost might be worth re-examining, especially the middle episodes, but I think I'd get a lot less backup from others on that point. Also, welcome to the boards! These folks are great. They'll take good care of you.
