Because it's Kiva and Kiva is all about showing something once to sell the toy and then never using it again.

And bath time.

Yes. Selling toys and bath time.

And SAAAAAAAGGGGGAAAAAAA!!!!!

(BTW, can someone explain that joke to me?)

I would say they both are but Garen more.

I was just wondering, how do I get my friends to get into Kamen Rider, or to at least check it out.

I generally treat Blade as the same as I do with Gaim, with multiple characters that have a claim to "Secondary" Rider.
But for a solid, solitary answer, I consider it Chalice.

Decade is a nice starting point in general.
If they want something more on the funny side, Den-O. If they want something a little more on the serious side, then either Double or Gaim.

Matrix...did you suggest watching Decade?

Don't take it the wrong way.
The only way for Decade to not piss you off is to have little Kamen Rider experience prior.

That, and it provides a good showcase for the Heisei suits in action. While the stories are different and all AU, it gives you a nice taste of past series.

Basically, there are two reasons I'll ever recommend Decade.
1. To get newcomers interested
2. Because you've watched every other series and you have nothing else to do

Admitted... my first contact with Kamen Rider was also Decade. When I watched Shinkenger, I also watched the Decade crossover and thought it was really interesting.
When I started watching, I honestly considered Decade to be my first series, but Convoy said I'd better watch something else so I watched OOO :lol

Personally, I tried two things when I showed Kamen Rider to people. My first try was to suggest my favorite series, but these days, I usually show them openings and transformations first and then let them decide what catches their interest. If they ask about a series, I'll explain a bit and they often ask: What's good? And then of course I suggest.... not to watch Blade or Hibiki first because the video quality of the subbed version sucks. :lol Haha, no really, I usually recommend W, OOO, Fourze or Gaim because the quality is neat and the shows are good.

Decade was my third series I ever watched, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I really only didn't like Kiva from the world but I watched Kiva before Decade so that's why. Tsukasa is a very interesting, and fun character.
