It is but not really. Like, Agito references the events of Kuuga like they happened in the past but never introduces a character from Kuuga or even really talks in detail about what happened.

They reference Kuuga as "Unidentified Life Form #2/4" and tell us, the audience, that after the attacks of a great threat in the past Japan build up their defense line but that's it.

Never again is Kuuga mention and the events of Kuuga play no further role in Agito. Which leads some people to believe that it's some kind of weird alternate universe thing.

But anyways, it's not really a direct sequel like for example Black RX is. And as far as similarities go, both shows feature a Rider with a similar design who changes forms and fights against monsters that kill humans based on a system. That’s the only similarities there are really, Agito’s plot and characters are entirely different, as are the enemies they face.

I read some time ago that the monsters from Agito are supposed to be descendents of the Linto Tribe from Kuuga but that’s never mentioned in the show and it makes no sense really.
