I would say Sun Vulcan. I watched many vintage series, but that one was very formulaic and did very poor character development.

Season 1 had the right amounts of gore. Season 2 went too gratuitous with it.

I’d have to say Kamen Rider Kuuga. It’s literally the only show I’ve abandoned watching. And that’s saying something.

Kamen Rider Black. For a series that is considered iconic, it sure is repetitive. I'd put Kakuranger and Abaranger in there too since the characters were just one dimensional.

I loved Black as a kindergartener, but actually re-watching it a year ago made me realize that a lot of its aspects were so painfully dated. By episode 20s, I pretty much had to force myself to continue watching.

It does have iconic moments (about 90% of it related to Shadowmoon) but there's a long way chock full of repetitive fillers before we can even get there.

I still get mentally exhausted just thinking about Agito. It was a total bore for me, even if it isn’t the worst. I also watched Jetman “recently”, by which I mean I dragged watching the show out for over a year because I hated basically all the heroes and didn’t want to watch their silly drama. I’m always amazed that some people can turn shows about people in costumes beating each other up with a tasty dose of drama and make it a pain to sit through. :p

Ghost made me drop Kamen Rider because the show felt so cliché to me. You have a main character with a non-human sidekick, a goof ball supporting character, and anti-hero secondary rider that starts off as bad and angsty before becoming a good guy.

So far, none of the new shows make me want to watch Kamen Rider again and go back to it. Amazons was awesome, but that's not the main series. I did see a few episodes of Build and it was pretty good. I'm waiting for a show that will get me super hype up and back into the mood to watch these shows again.

Eh, BVS was barely dark and gritty. That's all I can say without getting too off topic.

I only got up to episode 10 of Kamen Rider Black and hadn't been able to get back to it since and despite only seeing two episodes of Sun Vulcan, I wasn't able to continue watching it due how slow the episodes feel despite of an almost half-hour runtime for each and feeling rather boring to me.

Wizard. I kept up until about halfway through the season before just stopping. Boring fight scenes with basically the same choreography every time (spin kick, spin slash, spin dodge) plus no stakes, no visible plot, a bland lead, and annoying side characters, I don't think I will ever finish that series nor do I eant to
