My first was Fourze. And I loved every damn second of it.

I know right? :p
Kiva worked for me at the time I watched it, but it truly is a trainwreck.

Wasn't Decade one of the first you watched?

My first was Faiz, and I couldn't stomach it enough to even finish it.
The next series was Decade. And you all know my opinions on that. :lol

I don't give a series bonus points for introducing me to a franchise.
...Unless it's Godzilla Vs. Megalon...

Are we talking series or character? Because I want to say ZX's special was the least favorite thing I've watched of Kamen Rider and that was mediocre, it wasn't bad, I was expecting more and still worth a watch. The Manga tells the story much better. I started with OOO and I've loved every series I've watched so far.

It's series. The character discussion stems from the fact that most people's issue with a series can be traced to the character hailing it.

My point exactly, a lot of people defend a certain show, movie, etc. for being the one to introduce them to a franchise, but personally I find that to be irrelevant.

Seems like the two of us went thorugh two bad shows as our firsts. (Kiva and Decade for me.)

Decade was my first...and the only redeeming points are the Rider War and W...Wizard I have to say is the worst because I have ZERO interest in finishing it. I loved the design, but no drive to finish the story...

Ah okay, I haven't found characters I hate by the end of the series. I have only hated 4 characters at different parts of series but liked them by the end and they were Tendou-Kabuto, Mutsuki-Leangle, Yaguruma-TheBee, and Kusaka-Kaixa. Though Yaguruma became one of my favorites as Kick Hopper.

Wataru. Useless little bitch who ran and cried in his bathtub every time he got dragged out of his room. And then he tried to abort himself.

Nothing is wrong with Haruto. The problem is with the viewers who are used to over the top heroes so a subtle one is something they can't comprehend.

Dragon Knight.
