Which one do you guys agree more with. Or disagree for that matter =P.

If you want to get into Rider there's only one right thing to do: Start wherever you want. It absolutely doesn't matter where you begin, unless it is a straight-up sequel show like Black RX, in that case, you do better watch Black first.

Other than that? Watch what you want. Some people might say don't watch Decade first because it features all the other Heisei-era Riders (but it doesn't matter, they're different from their original selfs anyways) or that you should start with the first show, Kuuga or W to get an idea what Rider is about but I say: Screw that.

Look at the suits and gimmicks, read a short summary of what the show you're interested in is roughly about, decide on what you think will entertain you the most and watch it. After that, you have a much better idea of what you can watch next because then we can tell you which shows are similar or what you might like based on what you enjoyed about your first show.

And after that, you have a good idea about what you like about Rider and can pick anything else yourself.

There is no perfect show to start, you could hate shows most of the fandom like and the other way around, thus it is pointless to tell you what you should start with.

I started with a show which was very different from the norm and immediatley watched what consider most to be one of the worst Rider-series in existence, yet I still watched a lot more and love it.
