And part of the experience in first watching Kuuga was watching it over the span of 50 weeks, letting the mind think about the mystery rather than hard marathoning it over the course of one to two weeks.

I just feel that the idea of telling someone that there's a wrong way to watch the show because it's "Not how it was initially intended" is silly.

Just imagine looking at things this way.
You're a fledgling KR fan. Just started Zero-One, and began watching Kamen Rider (1971) a few weeks back, and now Shout released Kuuga. You select it, and you see 2 options in the menu. Full subbed and Grongi unsubbed. Being new to the franchise, you don't meticulously research every little thing beforehand, so you select Full sub because you'd find it odd to watch a partially subbed show.

Then you hop on Twitter to be told that you're wrong, because on it's initial airing, those lines were left out?
Even though they were translated on the DVD releases in 2001? Meaning that everyone has been fully aware of those lines for 19 years, yet you're expected to watch the show twice for some arbitrary reason?

Kamen Rider fans are becoming so hysteric over this, and it's getting ridiculous.
"You're supposed to watch Kuuga without knowing what the monsters are talking about. It doesn't spoil anything, but we've convinced ourselves that it does to spread a false rumor. Then after you've watched it, then you go back and watch it again, except with the additional translations so you can hear the generic monsters talk about killing humans as if it's some sort of shocking revelation, okay?"

Just when I was starting to warm up on Kuuga, and thinking I was too harsh when I first watched it, this Shout debacle happened. Man, it's like the world refuses to not let Kuuga be seen through negative lenses for me
