I know a lot of people would disagree with me but I think Decade is a good jumping on point.

It might not as be engaging as say W or Gaim is but watching 30 episodes as opposed to 50 might seem less daunting.

Plus if it's your first show, you won't realise how much it butchers the franchise and all of the shows you see after will seem amazing in comparison.

I say start with Den-O

Decade has it's moments though in the sheer number of batshit crazy things that could happen in the series.

I watched like 10 shows to get a feel for which one I liked and eventually have gotten through most of them but OOO was the one I started with First so I suggest it. Decade is pretty good but might spoil things from other shows. I also suggest Kiva, Kuuga, or Agito.

I don't want to watch Decade (or Gokaiger) yet because of this. I'm not so much worried about spoiling plot details, but i'd rather see the characters for the first time in their own show to get the full experience.

I thought Kuuga sounded like it might be a good starting point based on what I read.

Gaim is an excellent television show, PERIOD. It just happens to take place in a Kamen Rider series and helps sell Kamen Rider toys.

Watch that first.

When Gaim is over, you can pretty much stop since it's the best Kamen Rider ever - production values, acting, story, gimmick, toyline, designs.

But if you want to TRY to get another fix, go with Kamen Rider W next.

Kuuga is only your jumping in point if you want to see how poor Rider can be, so it'll colour all the other series you watch afterwards in a rose tinted light, and if you're gonna do that you should make your first three shows 'Kuuga, Faiz and Decade', the unholy trinity of Kamen Rider's worst moments.

I'm a Ryuki fan myself, although Gaim is slowly starting to surpass it.


Just, when it comes to Ryuki, know that it doesn't really pick up until Zolda is introduced about 8 episodes in, I believe.

And here is one of the awesome reasons to watch it.
