The funny thing is, at one point I was going to make Blade my first Pre-W show because some of the Undead cameo in the OOO/Fourze movie (they’re the obscured monsters Aqua was fighting in his flashback).

But yeah, I... guess my Rider journey was sort of similar to yours in how I started? I picked a series from phase 2 I was recommended and interested in (Fourze), loved it, then went back and watched W and everything onwards in order; alongside the currently airing series (which was Build, almost halfway through). After finishing I done Heisei 1 in a... sort of strange order? I done Kiva first because I’d heard bad things and I like seeing if I can find something in a show others don’t and BOY did that not go well! Only Toku I’ve ever truly hated. Then I went to Kabuto for the same reasons and... oops! Didn’t like that one either! Still, despite the bad impression I decided to go in order; and done Den-O and Decade. Then everyone told me that you should only watch Agito after Kuuga, so naturally, I watched Agito! After randomly choosing Hibiki next I just decided to do the remaining seasons in order. Kuuga, Ryuki, Faiz, Blade.


Really interested to see what you think about Hibiki. You’re a very drama-invested viewer I think and that’s what you’ve loved most in Rider, though Hibiki is an extremely laid-back series that purposefully thrives on avoiding drama at every instance until the changeover to Inoue. I can honestly see you being one of the only people to like that second part, which should be interesting to read!
