Dragon Knight was pretty decent, the problem was CW didn't really make an effort to push it as hard as they could have like Fox did with Power Rangers so the show never really found an audience.

well that's two people saying Dragon Knight wasn't that bad.

I liked Ryuki but think half of it was filler. I liked it but so far it's been my least favorite Kamen Rider series. Not that it was bad so much as I just think others were better.

Probably due to the fact that the series flop twice here in the US. There is no market for it. People look at any Toku superhero series and turn off by it for looking like Power Rangers. The only way for a American Rider series to do well is to do a original Kamen Rider show with no Japanese footage and suits.

Make that 3. I liked Dragon Knight. They used the suits and told their own story with it, while keeping to the original plot device of eliminations.

Well the thing with Dragon Knight was that it wasn't bad, it just didn't sell well and had low ratings due to bad marketing. Hell, the network running the show loved it and could have cancelled the show multiple times. Plus, it won an award for the stunt coordination

Well that's overexaggerated, they don't need to do something completely original, they just need to find a way to sell it to a general audience.

Actually there is a reason it didn't do very well in the states. The show was set at weird hours and was changed several times plus some cw stations didn't air it instead running local programing over it, as such it wasn't seen frequently. In addition the toy line was very late and had extremely poor distribution and didn't make it into stores in the south east until the series was almost over and had stopped being shown on local stations.

And with out better promotion the series died

Kamen rider dragon knight is passable its weak not great but ok

masked rider is terribly written as it makes episodes more about the standard fish out of water story as dex is an alien-seriously why is it always aliens.

Dragon Knight was very well produced than Masked rider.

I like the designs, but the monochromatic color scheme buries a lot of the detail.

Also IIRC, the final episodes of the show only aired online.

I think the show could have found solid ground by marketing itself to preteens/teenagers who wanted something similar to Power Rangers, but a bit more mature thematically. Maybe in that little area where shows like Yu-Gi-Oh and Teen Titans thrived.
