Honestly, I think all Riders have their own merits, even if I don't like a season for what it is, someone else does. If I had to pick, Blade. Better acting, less annoying Mutsuki and more character development for Kenzaki (I like how Kouta was handled until the end, he didn't feel stereotypically bland (and even if he did at least there was a reason unlike Kenzaki with the cliche "my parents died")) would skyrocket that shoe from 2nd favorite Rider show to 1st.

But if Blade's acting were better we'd miss out on all the wonderful memes!

I am so up for more videos of Kamen Rider memes by the way, Blade or otherwise!

Unlike Tachibana/Garren, Amano seems to be a very cheerful man according to variety show appearances, etc.

Black, hands down. After that, maybe Kuuga.

Anyone think it was a lost opportunity to not have Foundation X as the main antagonist group in a KR series? I feel they could have had SO much potential in propelling a series.

Would be cool if Heisei rider no.20 faces foundation x if Toei goes that route.

I'd have to go with Faiz. I love the suits, both rider and Orphenoch, and it hits almost all the core notes of Kamen Rider in one show, making it a good base for any follow-up series to build upon.

Probably the single biggest change I would make would be to add one unique color to each Orphenoch, very sparingly. Just enough to pick out some of the details that get lost in the grey. Also, would make some interesting foreshadowing for the nature of the riders.

Also, the Orphenochs don't look nearly as much like traditional toku monsters. It might just be the monochrome talking, but they don't look as... I hate saying goofy, as it's not quite the word I'm looking for, but... they're designs that don't immediately scream "Kid's show" as much as most other toku shows. Heck, even Amazons had a few designs that kind of had that feeling for me, and I like that show.
