What seasons do you think are most universally liked?
 

I was thinking, people tend to have very varied opinions on Kamen Rider, but at least a few seasons are generally liked and considered a cut above the rest by the majority of people. I know that W is one of them and I THINK Den-O is too (although I'm not a huge fan myself). What other seasons do you think are generally highly praised by fans?

W and OOO seem to be pretty well liked from what I've gathered, though I haven't seen either. I don't think I've really ever seen anyone talk poorly about them in general.

Gaim and Ryuki are definitely up there. With those two I think seeing people who dislike them is a rare occurrence, at least around here.

Same goes for OOO and W, I rarely read that people dislike Blade as well.

I wouldn't call Ryuki as universally liked. It's not hated, but there are a lot of clashing opinions on Ryuki.
I'd call Black, Den-O, W, OOO, and Gaim as series nearly universally loved.
I see a lot of praise for Ryuki, Blade, and, much to my disappointment, Kuuga here, too, but I do see more dissenting opinions towards them than other praised series.

I always got the impression that OOO was pretty divisive. I've seen few people who are pretty bitter about it, but I'm not sure that really qualifies.

Really? The only negative opinion I tend to see about OOO is Hina's lack of involvement in the plot. Unlike Wizard, it never really struck me as divisive.

I'd say you could throw Fourze in with OOO and W, too. Seems like most people universally consider it the "feel good" series if anything else, and I think that's worth something. I like to bunch those three together as a group anyway for obvious consecutive reasons.

Well I wouldn't say OOO is outright hated much, but I have heard a lot of complaints about it being underwhelming or not liking the direction of the plot. Fourze definitely has something going for it being so "feel good" for sure though.

The original because original.

V3 was a nice follow-up to the original.

Black was a back-to-basics of the source and well-made.

Kuuga for breathing new life into the franchise and setting new standards.

Ryuki for challenging the status quo.

Den-O for making the franchise fun again while trying new things.

W for being just fun.

Gaim for being Gaim.

honorable mentions: the first half of Hibiki.

Double, OOO and Fourze I generally see more positives opinions than negatives ones so I would say those ones.

Also Ryuki when you wear Ryuki tinted glasses like I do.
