I think that's the best thing going for the Rider (and I guess, Sentai) franchise: one year and they move on. As someone who's been a fan of American superhero stories for decades, the fact that these Japanese ones end and move on... like, that is why I spend my work hours reading American superhero comics, and my free time watching Japanese superhero shows. They get to tell a whole story in one year. I love so many of the Rider shows, but I'd definitely be a little skeptical of, like, Build season 2. (Honestly, even when the series get a raft of follow-up films that are really fun, like Ex-Aid and Build, part of me whispers "Just leave it alone.")
