To me it has always seemed as if the tone of rider shows became less dark and a little more kid oriented after kabuto.

i know! the only way this can be redeemed is if wizard is a high school teacher and wen a kid fails he says "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!!!" (hehe lord of the rings cause he a wizard that has power rings)

Just finished rewatching All Riders vs. Daishocker. The rider fights are fun, but its still a terrible film.

Time to round off Decade with the Movie War, which I haven't seen the director's cut version of yet.

i watched one episode of blade and was alredy so confused i stopped watching, should i try again or is it useless

Blade is usually criticized for having a slow start, but it is totally worth it once the show gets rolling.

also, slow start? in one ep. we meet 2 riders, see undead get sealed meet a family and a guy obsessed with milk, a guy with the chalice card hyperventilating, and then garren going rogue. seriously, slow start?

"Slow start" doesn't mean literally.
That just means the beginning of the series is just really poor compared to the rest :P
<-Doesn't understand sarcasm :lol

Yeah I'll agree about Blade. I watched the first 8-10 episodes then left it for a LONG time. Glad I picked it back up though. The last bit of the series is so good.

I need to watch Blade. I love those designs.
But apparently after the Faiz bait and switch* (Beautiful designs muddied by a horrible series), I've been afraid.

*I haven't watched Faiz just because of all the horror stories concerning it :lol

With Fourze being my introductory Rider and with OOO's and Den-O having roughly the same tone and balance of action / humor as Fourze. I am almost reluctant to try and Heisei show prior to Den-O. The humor has become a huge reason why i fell in love with Kamen Rider.
