I have to agree with this list. Blade was so hard to watch, not because of the complexity, but because the subs I found were so bad, I couldn't read half of the subtitles. Decade was fun enough though- it's probably better to watch it as a newbie, so you're not too insulted.

True. Gaim is good, but a lot of the praise comes from who wrote it. Acclaimed as he is, Gen Urobuchi's work can get kind of pretentious and artsy. Not to mention he had limitations sorted on his writing style so that Bandai could show off the new toys on schedule. And the grape Rider Micchy...he's something.

And I've watched Kiva, but I never had much of a problem, (aside from my standard "how do Kamen Rider Universes handle monster-inflicted death" question). Most of the contention comes from fact that SPOILERS time travel becomes a plot element.SPOILERS I never really felt it was that big a problem. I mean, Den-O is all about that and I never see people saying that show is a train wreck (pun intended) because of it. I love and highly recommend Kiva.

And who's that Rider?

It depends on what you like. If you like dark, mysterious shows, you gotta watch Agito. If you prefer light-hearted, comedic shows, W is the way to go. If you like older shows, then go with Black. And if you want a balanced, run-of-the-mill Rider series that is good without going to far outside the norm, then OOO is the best choice.

I always suggest Kamen Rider OOO or Kabuto to people first, OOO because it's hilarious while at the same time endearing, and Kabuto because they actually Call themselves Kamen Riders (well really Masked Riders, but still) within the show. Samurai Sentai Shinkenger or Go-Busters is my go to for Sentai, but I have no skill or expertise in the 'Zilla department. Enjoy.

They actually call themselves Kamen Riders in other shows too. Blade, W, Fourze, Drive...

I know that, but out of the two I suggested Kabuto does, OOO doesn't. Wasn't stating that other seasons don't do it just because I only mentioned two.
