I looove W. Although it was my first Rider, I feel like it held up on subsequent rewatches. I just found the main cast extremely endearing (okay maybe not Ryu), the villains great, and it is really good as slowly building up more overarching elements. How many other shows are about 2-in-1 superhero detectives that fight drug inspired monsters?! Drive and Gaim, while also good, don't manage to pull off so many individual elements so perfectly for me. I can kind of see where you are coming from though, it could be a bit weird watching a bunch of newer Neo-Heisei stuff then going back to the first one, where some of its elements might not seem as fresh by comparison.
