There's some definite pros and cons for each option of when's a good time to watch it, but I think I'm going to try and stick to its original airdate of between 33 and 34. I just like watching this stuff the way a fan would've back then, you know? Get that authentic Kamen Rider experience, or a close approximation.

The problem is, my window for watching stuff wasn't super huge, and in the meantime of trying to sort this out I pretty much used it up watching this week's oversized Better Call Saul. (KIM! KIM FOREVER! Holy shit do I want to talk about what they did with her character in this one!) Looks like 13 Riders is going to have to be an after-work thing today, a little later in the afternoon.

Thanks for everyone's help! Trying to piece together a Proper Viewing Order for this franchise... they don't make it easy!

If it helps, up until Den-O, all of the movies are alternate universe takes on the series. None of them directly tie into the series' plot. A couple have hand-wavey explanations for how they could be connected, but those are fan explanations and not explicit canon. 13 Riders, in particular, is really weird because it was made with two different endings, the one that made it to screen being based on a fan vote that was held while it aired.
