Take this poll instead of the forum here.

I've been thinking... Anniversary seasons are usually not very successful for riders. What if Toei work on the bugs (especially since the new era is a good reason) and instead of a new rider make an anthology season with the heroes of previous shows at Reiwa anniversary, like Garo: Makai Tales. I think it will be possible to include new gimmicks and costumes which Bandai needs so much in it`s story.

It's funny that Riders have lesser anniversary seasons but Sentai has good ones like Gokaiger and Zenkaiger. What are they doing right that Kamen Rider keeps getting wrong?

To be fair, I did enjoy Revice, Zi-O and Decade. I'm very easy to please. But I recognise the problems others have with them. My own brother hates Grand Zi-O's design while I think it's at least better than Complete Decade

It seems to me that the difference is that Sentai is at the forefront of story, and only then the anniversary aspect, while the Riders have the opposite. That is, from Gokaigers and Zenkaigers you can safely remove all the anniversary fan service and they will still be good shows. And if you do that with Decade and Zi-O, they simply cease to exist. But this is just my opinion, plus, who knows, maybe in the future the franchise will improve and give out a gorgeous anniversary season.

Yes, I myself consider Zi-O and Revise to be average, not bad. Decade is second from the end on my list of Rider seasons, but episodes 20 and 21 are some of my favorites in the entire franchise.
