Hi. Total Toku newbie here. I must confess: I haven't seen any Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, Godzilla, or any of those. But I did look at a TVTropes article for Kamen Rider Ryuki and it seems interesting, so I'm debating on whether I want to check it out or not. But I'm wondering if maybe since I'm new at this I need to watch other shows before I check out certain others. Is there a kind of continuity to the series? Or can I watch any show without worrying about missing anything? Thanks in advance!

Only the very first Kamen Rider-shows had a continuity with shared characters and stories, later ones are completely independent from one another (except sequels like Black RX for example) so this won't be a problem for you.
If you're interested in Ryuki give it a shot, it's the favorite of a friend of mine and lots of people around here like it, I myself haven't gotten around to watch it yet though. There are many good shows to choose from, I can recommend Gaim, Double and OOO from the newer era of Kamen Rider as well, but in the end I would say choose the one that you're most interested in, in this case Ryuki, and just give it a shot. |

Personally I'd say its better to start out from the base stuff first before getting into anything more gimmicky like Gaim, Amazon or Den-O, etc. Out of the Rider shows I would recommend; From the Showa era; V3, X, Skyrider and Black are all excellent to start with, and are just basic enough so that you don't need to worry about much. Heisei era: Kuuga&Agito, Blade, OOO and Fourze are also good. Kuuga and Agito especially given that their purpose is very much to be Kamen Rider but for the modern audience |

I think both Gaim and W are good shows for newbies. OOO is good but it can start off a bit slow.
For Godzilla, I think the 1954 movie is an amazing classic. If you want something is more fun to watch without being dark and grim then check out Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack. For Ultraman, I think Max or Tiga are good if you want something more modern. Otherwise check out Ultraseven on DVD if you want something from the Showa era. |

Sano's pour soul has been scorched by these films, he is now a tragic hero that warns others of the evil that lurks within them, for whenever someone watches these abominations a little part inside of him dies.

What about my poor soul? I swear, with that amount of rage, I could've turned into a super saiyan!

Unfortunately the only series I've either completed or seen a decent amount of are Wizard, OOO, Gaim, Fourze, Blade, and Ryuki. I do not recommend Wizard. Looks cool, but it makes the filler/padding parts of DBZ look exciting.
