Jeeez

When people recommend watching something in a certain order there's generally a reason for it

And I heard those reasons, and disagreed with them being as necessary as made out to be. I believe that seasons should be able to stand on their own, especially when it's something a lot more indirect as Agito and Kuuga and not even something like Black and RX. As such I was very curious to see how a viewing of Agito would go if I hadn't seen Kuuga before and didn't know an awful lot about either going in; especially as, of course, Agito will have been a lot of peoples' first Rider series and would have had to stand on its own without all of its viewers needing to watch Kuuga first.

Would watching Kuuga first have made it interesting to see those parallels? Maybe, but I also think there was a lot of merit and an interesting practise in its own right to watch Agito first, see what it's like on its own without the benefit of context, and then later when watching Kuuga watch parallels unfold in a backwards fashion.

Agito is likely watched best after a viewing of Kuuga, and having seen (and having loved) both I would agree with that, but it's not going to be everyone's experience, and I was interested in seeing what that opposing experience would be like.
