But... But Blade. You love Blade. I want a bigger push to keep watching it and having a bunch of people doing so at the same time would probably work.

But it's losing to Ryukendo, which I have generally no interest in...

I want Blade to win, because I want to watch the show but have no real drive, but maybe if I'm watching it with a group at set times I'll be able to keep up.

I concur.

After all, I want to watch start watching Kamen Rider and LWW is good for that. Balde may not be the best for newcomers, don't hold me to that statement as I may be totally wrong, but I want to join in on the Rider fandom.

DO YOU REALLY WANT TO DENY ANYONE THE CHANCE FOR INDUCTION INTO THE RIDER FANDOM?!

Zyuranger!

Nope, but like you said Blade is not exactly the best show for newcomers, W and OOO are excellent entry points, Blade is the kind of show you check after you already have some shows under your belt.

At least that's how I see it.

I wouldn't agree with that. I'd say Blade works perfectly well as an introductory Rider series. but then, I honestly don't think any Rider show would alienate new viewers - not even Hibiki.

I guess since most of the Rider shows I watched have two-episode arcs Blade who doesn't use them feels different to me, and not so easy to get into...

Then again I made it this far despite starting with Kiva so your first isn't necessarily that important.

Alright. Fine. Voted for Blade. Don't really feel like watching Ryukendo.

Every show could be somebody's first. I started (properly) with Agito, you started with Kiva, a bunch of people started with W, OOO, or Fourze. If a show is enjoyable and draws you in, that's all it needs to do. Some may be odd fits for the franchise as a whole, but if you're just watching Rider for the first time you don't really need to care about the rest of the franchise.

To me. it would be funny if Blade wins because I finished Dekaranger not too long ago and yet these two shows aired during the same year.
