But artistically speaking, Decade and Hibiki really stand out the most to me. Ghost is epic for designs, and later builds. But it does kind of have a bit of a middle 'wandering spirit' vibe. xD

Wizard is good in themes and concept as well as inherent tropes it used. Though the toys probably could have used some work. That's an oopsy that's hopefully been corrected.


I can't really say any season has been the worst. They've all brought different things to the table for what they were at the time they were made and what they were intended to cover and what their inspiration draws were. Each series really shouldn't be held to each other like that because of how inherently different they are.

Hibiki I would say, but the mess happening behind scenes are pretty known about so it is not really weird how that went, half is amazing, the rest is......Urgh...

Wizard, 90% filler, it really hurts the season that for most people is going to just feel extremely droll to get through, and it is a shame due to the fantastic suits, monster designs and ideas, it does not help that Kamen Rider Mage was built up only to not really be much of anything in the show when she finally got to enter the stage.

Decade, I like the concept and overall it works, there was no need to get the actual actors to reprice their roles since it is a dimension jumping season, Tsukasa himself is also a major highlight for me in the show and I too like how it ended. But I do not think that was the intended end, overall most of the things happening in the film where likely supposed to have been the last arc for the series, executives and behind the scenes issues got in the way of the overall run.

I would have loved for the last story arc to actually involve the past riders like Kiva and Blade hunting Decade down, instead of being made into a mess via the movie, the fact that the movie came out MONTHS after the show ended really hurt it as well, shit happened here and it is kinda obvious.

God damn I love the sound effects for the Decadriver, overall my favorite driver in the series.
