Good. Philip and Wakana were almost going to run away together. They were so close even before they learned they were siblings. Before her Father got his hooks in her and warped her mind, turning her against everyone and everything she loved. That was why she ended up in that mental institution after her defeat. Because it all came back and flooded her with exactly what she's done to the one person who truely loved her. Here father only wanted to use her, her sister hated her, Shroud was consumed by her hatred. The only person she had was Philip. So when she broke out of the Mental Institution and gave her wish to the Earth it, not only made perfect sense, but it was beautiful that she gave her life to give Philip his back. .... Sorry, I get a little defensive about W. The ending especially, I loved it.

Kamen Rider Kabuto: It doesn't follow a 2-parter formula and is more serialized like Gaim, features multiple Riders who have interesting characters and some good action. The overall plot is fairly simple but the characters and their arcs will keep you interested.
Kamen Rider W: Great characters, an interesting storyline, a solid balance between humor and action. Kamen Rider OOO: Pretty much the same merits W has but falls apart for some people towards the end. The change starts when the Dinosaur medals are introduced. Also the movies (aside from Megamax) are all out of continuity and aren't great.

Blade: Riders with cards and a badass villains. The monsters are immortal and there's a big organization. And it has a great ending.

I'm actually going to go against type here and not go with my standard answer of Black/Hibiki/Agito. All three are fantastic, of course, but there is a glaring absence on your list of completed shows: Kamen Rider W.
W was the gateway series for a lot of people and there's a lot of reasons why many still consider it the best of the Neo-Heisei era. It's an incredibly fun show with a likable cast of main characters, deep and engaging villains, and some very memorable guest stars and monsters. Shotaro is easily one of the most enjoyable main Riders ever and handles both humor and drama very effectively. Philip is odd, but there's a lot of compelling mystery about him. Ryu is a great secondary Rider who adds a lot to the show's mythology and has a good story arc of his own. Akiko is... there. The show has a good balance of humor, action, and drama (only Rider show to ever make me tear up and I am not ashamed to admit it). It does use the two-episode arc structure, but manages to still have several well-developed ongoing subplots that carry across much of the show (unlike, say, Wizard). The fights are very well done and include some of Koichi Sakamoto's best work as a director (and some of his last stuff that wasn't overly pervy). The suits look good in action, the mixing and matching of powers can be very fun, and the bad CGI only rears its head in the first couple episodes. Not only is the story well done, but it also has one of the tightest mythologies in Rider history. Every film adds something that helps flesh out the world and its characters, some aspects of which carried over onto Fourze. There may not be as many W movies as Den-O, but they're generally used more effectively to help develop the W world, especially all of the stuff that involves Skull. I tend to think Skull is a little overhyped, personally, but I can't deny that he's still fantastic. Let's see, what else... The music is amazing. The supporting characters are all really fun and dynamic. The villains are mostly developed in detail and some actually become very sympathetic. The show does a great job of combining a noir feeling with modern tokusatsu. The list really just goes on and on. Watch W, it's a great show. |
