Finished episode 24 of Agito. Still liking this show so far. I like the overall mystery the show has going for it. Hope it gets resolved better than Kuuga, though. Too bad T-N hasn't subbed past episode 24 yet...guess I have to start using CAP's subs.

Look up GomenRider's scrubs. They took the CAP subs and fixed them while improving the video quality.

While I won't ruin it, I will tell you that the mystery does have a solid resolve. Especially for a Kamen Rider series.

Yeah I had to start doing that too :( I wish Nihon would get their episodes out faster but I know they've got too many ongoing projects.

I might do that. Have they finished the series?

Yep. They've got the special and movie done, too.

Sweet. I'll have to check them out then. Thanks!

So just started episode 1 of W like, a few minutes ago, so guess I'm adding that to my current watch list.

So presently:
Wizard: Up to Episode 18, waiting for subs.
Fourze: Finished
Kiva: Up to Episode 3.
Ryuki: Not yet started.
Den-O: Not yet started.
W: Just started Episode 1.

I think I have a problem.

Don't think I said this, but last week I finished my first Kamen Rider show; W! And man, you guys were right, such a good show. Made me want all the W merch though. :lol

Gonna hit up Ryuki then hit up Den-O, since I figure I'll need something light hearted after Ryuki. :lol

^gonna just toss in a suggestion to check out Fourze if you're looking for something light hearted. I've not watched Den-O yet, but I will be checking it out on similar recommendations.

^Fourze I will get to eventually, since I've still got it on my HDD. I want to do OOO before it though, so I'm going in order.

Better than me:

Decade: first 3 episodes + All Rider vs Dai Shocker
Double: first 3 episodes
Den-O: finished
Kiva: can't watch due to technical limitations :(
Fourze: Finished
Wizard: ongoing

Watched episodes 1-4 of Black last night. It's really good for treadmill viewing since there is aprox 4 mins worth of actual dialog in each episode and 16 of action. The rest is credits and theme song. I like the mystery and darker tone of the show.

Black is probably my favorite Rider show of all time. You definitely can't go wrong with it. Just don't be surprised when it starts getting a bit more episodic.

Yeah, the episodic thing already kinda started with 4. I'm ok with it. I'm curious to see how the show goes knowing he had to fight all these mutants with no 2nd rider or power up's.... Guy doesn't even have a sword! A chop , a kick , a punch and a bike. That's it!

Black may not be my favorite show but it's easily the best out of all the Showa Series (and most Heiseis) that I've seen.

Well, he does get a second bike.

Just watched the Faiz movie, paradise lost.

To anyone curious about Faiz, just watch this =p You get too see all the cool designs, minus Deltas and it just works better anyway. Orga and Psyga are awesome designs and the fights where pretty cool too. Especially Psyga vs Faiz.

Bad points... Err slightly pointless start, that just felt like it was there to prolong the film a bit/ shoehorn in a prophecy. Kiba is as wishy-washy as he is in the series too.. "I'm Kiba and my opinions change frequently, usually because I've been beaten by somebody who opposes my ideals so I side with them."

I really hope the Psyga and Orga S.H.F's get released... Now onto Blade.

I started watching my first KR series, Kamen Rider W, a while back. I'm already on 39 and you know what? I fucking love this. It's just so much fun to watch. I'm not big into anime or Japanese shows in general, but I'm hardpressed to say a lot bad about this show. I love the Rider designs, Skull especially. Most of the main characters are great and fun to watch, and I'm hooked on the story. It's making my want the toys. I have MG Figurerise Skull and plan on getting Accel and Double, but I also want the SICs. (Or the Figuarts if they weren't so hard to find and expensive)

I'm glad I decided to expand my horizon and check out a show I normally wouldn't bat an eye at. What would be a good, more current Kamen Rider series to watch next? Kuuga? Fourze? I've heard good things about both of those.

Most people will point you to OOO, Fourze or Wizard if you're enjoying W. Everything before W had a much different tone, barring Den-O. If you want something that's a bit more traditional, Kabuto isn't a bad place to go, but it certainly doesn't have the same kind of flashy, comic draw that more recent shows have.
I'd personally recommend Fourze, but that's because I'm horribly biased towards space-exploring high school adventures.

Up to episode 5 for W, about to start it up.

Really enjoying it so far.

And I will second Brainchild's recommendation of Fourze, I really genuinely enjoyed my time watching it, kinda sad it's over. Also suggest getting caught up with Wizard, also a great series so far.

I'd go with Kuuga. It's a bit older than W and it only has one Rider, but it's a great show.

please tell me he uses both as rollerskates.

Hm...I would say OOO then Fourze. If you want something more lighthearted...go Den-O. I finished it earlier this month, and it was amazing. You could also go with Wizard since you don't have a whole lot of catching up to do.

Figuarts aren't that expensive. They are reissuing CycloneJoker, though BBTS still hasn't gotten it in.

I'm glad to see you're liking it!
I would recommend OOO, but to not overwhelm you with 4 or 5 different series suggestions, I'll also recommend Kuuga.

OOO is a really great beginners series. Lots of interesting characters, a really powerful hero, can't go wrong with OOO.

I already know a bit about OOO from the war core movie. I'm not sure if that's really my thing, but I may check it out. I'm not a fan of his design, though, so maybe that's where my hesitation comes from.

Oh dude, please DO NOT base your opinion of OOO on Core War. Even if it's positive. That movie is the most abysmal rider movie ever assembled. The crew that made that film wasn't the one that actually worked on OOO. They were just using rough outlines of the show when they wrote the OOO portion so it's crazy messed up. Watch the series itself and you will enjoy yourself very much :D

And OOO's design grows on you, either though just loving one form to just liking the suit more.

What's so wrong with Core War? I thought the bits with Skull were nifty.

The OOO portion was written completely differently than how the rest of the series was, leading to an odd focus on a ballerina who has no bearing to the show (Hell, she wasn't really important to the movie).
Basically, fans of the series felt that the OOO portion could've been a lot better.

What Den-O said

It really does. Still not much a fan of TaToBa, but I absolutely LOVE TaJaDoru.

Oh, so it's just the OOO parts that are bad? Good, because I skipped over them until the end team-up bit. :D I was gonna say, too, the Skull bits I thought were really well done, and pushed the character from "cool design" to "Dude I seriously think is awesome." Especially since before that the only parts where the real Skull showed up alive was briefly in Begins Night.

I like the OOO forms that aren't three different colours. Between his detailed deisgn and the three colours he seems very over-designed compared to Double, but that effect is halved when he switched to a one or two coloured combination.

Yeah, the Skull portion of Core were great, can't argue that at all.
I still think you could enjoy OOO. It has the best balance of serious and fun (Out of the series I've seen), and if you can get past the primary villain's annoying quirk, it's really a great series.

Also, a minor point to mention, but Shotaro's actor loves playing the character. So in any crossover Double appears in, you can expect to see him reprise his role, which is always a plus.

Awesome. :D

Except for Movie War Ultimatum.

Also, I happen to love the TaToBa suit. It's one of my favorite main Rider designs.

I dunno if I really like OOO's gimmick though honestly. Something about it just pushes me away.

I should also point out I'm much more into simpler, characterful designs as a general rule, so it's not that I think the suit is bad at all, just that I'm into different looks. Double to me is so cool because it just two colours seperated down the center with sparse silver details, even less black, and red for the eyes and driver to pop. Skull even more since he's almost entirely just black, silver and white for his hat and scarf. And little actual detail.

OOO, TaToBa specifically, is a base colour of black with red, yellow and green in large quantities in a very intricate pattern overtop and the same amount of spares silver details. It just doesn't pull me in immediately.

If you want simpler designs, you want to probably go backward than forwards. Toei keeps making the suits and powers more busy each year to sell toys. Kuuga, Agito, Ryuki, and Kabuto all have simple streamlined designs that don't overdo the gimmicks. Also, Agito is the single best Kamen Rider series ever made. Kuuga and Kabuto are very good overall for different reasons. I personally don't like Ryuki, but it has it's fans.

Just watched the first episode of Blade. Not a bad start. There's plenty of enigma and intrigue to get you hooked and it moves along pretty quick establishing everyone.

I like how they capture the undead as well, very cool and I look forward to seeing what abilities the different cards bring.

Started Ryuki yesterday, up to episode 5.

Very cool show, though I feel like I *may* not end up liking it as much as W, but we'll see.

Reminds me a lot of Highlander though. "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE RIDER!" :lol

Ryuki is soooooo good and underrated.
