So far Im finding it hard to argue with the negative opinions, now I Fourze at first, so I might end up liking it at the end.

Like I said above, in the first few episodes, its kinda boring, the rest Im not sure yet, though as Im only at 6, though Im still sure about all the AU Riders yet...

Feel free to check out Decade. Just a couple warnings:
1) It spoils the major twists in the series prior to it. So if a show like Faiz or Kiva is on your watch list, I'd recommend finishing them before getting to Decade.
2) You're fine to like it. There are some people here who like it to spite me. But Decade values action, and will stop the plot (What little there is) to make a fight scene flashier. I know you value fun action, but also good characters, so I don't know which side of the split you'll fall on for Decade.

If you want a popcorn flick turned into a TV show, Decade will be right up your alley.

He's pretty much Decade's Shunpei, but minus the clown wardrobe and slapstick.

I think as I've progressed, I've fallen more onto the character side, then the action side. I NEED good fights to enjoy a toku series, but the early OOO episodes or basically the whole of Kabuto that I saw, although fun and action packed, I couldn't enjoy them because I didn't care about the people fighting.

I did plan to watch Faiz, so I'll watch that first.

Oh God that sounds like my personal hell.

He's not that bad. And he's a real badass in the Decade movies.

Those are panties? I thought it was emulating Bane from Dark Knight Rises.

Lol no, they follow the girl through an underwear shop and the Penguins try the underwear on. They do something fun like that every episode, but I left that moment as my sig specifically.

What VERY little I've seen of Yuuske, I don't see what's so bad about him. Aside from that time he accidentally hit Momotaros not knowing he wasn't a monster, or got a sword up his butt.

It seems obvious with the bra-hat penguin beside him, but yeah I thought the same.

My problem with him was, that Kuuga is like UBER DARK like every episode the death toll goes up in the hundreds and really rubs our face in it. It really is a show where everything is always spiralling out of control, slipping out of our heroes hands who not only can't save everyone, but is lucky to save anyone.

So seemingly, with such a bleak series, we should have a very sympathetic, charismatic, loveable and in many senses classic hero so we can kinda say 'well he is failing, miserably, but look at the turmoil, look at the pain on him, look how hard he is trying, we can't be angry at him the odds are stacked against him, he is suffering too!' etc etc

In reality Godai spent the entire show goofily doing a thumbs up or largely pissing around like playing the piano for school children while his enemies slaughtered about 3/4s of the city and the majority of the police force. And thanks to shitty hax devices like super healing and so on, he just felt completely disconnected from the Rider stuff. Emotionally and physically, I think there was ONCE when he lost his shit throughout the series and so despite being the Rider with perhaps the most amount of blood on his hands, he is flattest most emotionless Rider of them all, having the side characters largely emote the series for him. It made him come across as unsympathetic, uncaring and I hated him and his shitty show.

If you think Haruto is boring, wait until you see Godai, and at least Haruto took a proactive to monster hunting.

I just finished Den-O now I'm gonna start OOO. I don't know much about the series except kamen rider birth has a form called birth day
