I like Ghost. We are few, we are proud.

Switchblade described it pretty well but I'd like to note that Kuuga is kind of in its own little style. Agito's sort of close, but not too similar.

From what I can tell, Kuuga is sort of unique in the world of Rider, while Agito is a bit closer to what the series would start to evolve into

It actually has a very distinct two-parter structure and while there's definitely a plot that progresses the show is way more about the interactions between the characters. The "action scene" of some episodes consists of Yuusuke transforming, throwing like one punch, and the episode cutting to credits.

I feel like that would drive me crazy, actually. I'm okay with good drama, but if you're going to have fights you can't just have short teases like that.

Agito-Blade have the key difference of central mysteries that things focus around but in Kuuga any mysteries are more of a background element. It's a show about a normal dude who hangs out with other normal people and sometimes he fights monsters. The others are like that too but it really defines Kuuga in a way that makes it distinct from every other Kamen Rider in my opinion.

The only Heisei shows I've seen are Drive and Ghost, but I think my favorite element of both were the investigations. Drive focused on a police team and Ghost on a paranormal investigation team, both of which would investigate mysterious events that usually ended up being connected to some sort of MOTW. How similar are these earlier Heisei shows to this style? If I liked the investigations in Ghost and Drive, would I like them as well?

I'll probably watch Kuuga sometime soon (W is next up, so maybe after that?) but I'm not entirely sure how I'll feel about it. Guess we'll see, huh?
