Decade was a pretty early series for me, and... Yeah. It did not leave me with the impression that Ryuki was about lawyers (well, more than one) or that Blade was about... Damn, I don't even remember. Kitchenware? Watching Decade didn't ruin anything for me except Decade.

The Decade suit design is cool, the Decadriver is wonderful for a chatty driver (before the advent of Drivers with grating voices), and the cast is really pretty solid. It left me an interest in finding out more about the first nine Riders. (Also, I've found going back and watching a Decade two-parter after finishing one of those series was pretty satisfying, because watching Decade before those series resulted in a very high amount of "What the bleep is going on?!")

Save for the worlds that made absolutely no sense (Blade and DiEnd's sorta-world), some of the two-parters are pretty good in themselves, so long as you don't try to make sense of them in the context of any other two-parter or the overall narrative.

Hm. I think I was trying to defend Decade (DEFEND! please), but I appear to have landed at "Damning with faint praise." *shrug*

Oh! Oh! Here's one: Decade more or less gave us Cho Den-O Episode Yellow. Fun movie. (It also more or less gave up Super Hero Taisens, but the beauty of those is that you don't have to watch them.
