Ichijou was the one good thing about Kuuga, so although I wish he was more prominent in the show. I fear changing him could ruin who is quite possibly my favourite character in all of tokusatsu.

Gaim didn't really pick up and go somewhere till Episode 7 which is longer than most KR series I've seen.

Very true, I just would think him as a Rider would've been awesome instead of enhanced bullets.

If only the new heisei riders had alternate worlds like the others.

for example

Fourze: A different Fourze with a combination of Gentaro & Kengo. Yuki, an old friend. Meteor and a zodiarts rider who are both anti-social with Fourze. And as for the zodiarts, the horoscopes won't be a school board searching for candidates to be the a part of their group... but a student council. Gamou Mitsuaki will still be the chairman. Instead as being sagittarius, he'd be Ophiuchus.

Aries is the leader of the horoscopes student council and Ophiuchus is the big boss behind it. Leo... Tatsugami Kou is still the secretary. Sagittarius is the 3rd rider with the power of all the horoscopes and absorbs and copies zodiarts abilities.

Wizard: Wizard and three other mages: Mayu, Yuzuru & Yamamoto are servants of the White Wizard, Fueki. Wiseman would be like CLU from Tron.

I get the strange feeling that both of my previous questions were just completely ignored..

Oh yeah I certainly do agree, if they went one stage further and built an enhanced battle suit so he could fight alongside Kuuga that would just be so win. Especially with his reveal towards the end of the series, he could finally protect the one he loves.

Yeah exactly, I think it would have furthered his development.

For Kuuga I'd up their production budget significantly so there would be better quality video, CGI and props. I'd also throw in some more fights as some episodes only had a little bit of action at either the beginning or ends of episodes.

I don't even get why Kuuga's production quality was so poor, considering there are earlier Kamen Rider shows like Black which have much more impressive visuals.

Because Kamen Rider was pretty much "dead" before Kuuga. Black RX was in 1988/1999 and all the Showa movies were in the early 90s. I don't think Toei had a budget saved for a reboot of the show, so they had to start from scratch- I'm pretty sure Toei didn't want to spend that much money on a show where it was completly unclear weather it would be a success or not.
