Hey I liked Kiva! I didn't find it boring in the slightest.

I wouldn't say Kiva was boring.

But I also wouldn't say it was good.

I liked Kiva to, but the show had problems with storytelling.

2 polygon-lovestories are just a bit too much for one Super Hero show.

I'm thinking about watching Kamen Rider Ryuki as I haven't seen any KR series before, and I hear that one's pretty good, but I'm not sure. What do you guys think?

Ryuki's a good show, but if you're a huge fan of anime you might want to watch Gaim first, it's pretty darn good.

Ryuki is a better alternative since that's what Gaim and numerous anime takes after.

If you want to start a franchise, wouldn't it be sensible to start with a show that is more representative of the franchise's style? Gaim is kinda unconventional for a Rider series, so it might give you false expectations.

Gaim does try to contain some themes and rhetorics of previous Kamen Riders, but it definitely muddles it a lot

I say go with Ryuki.
