Antonio is golden! He's better at comedy, full of charisma, his Morpher is more high tech, his grilled baby barracudas look delicious, he's in a rock band and he's so sparkly! Totally one of the best Gold Rangers for sure.

I watched J first, didn't know the title because I was a small-brained back then, thought it was power rangers, found Decade which led me to check out Shinkenger, few years pass, I go back in with Rider again.

Oh, that makes sense.

It's Natsumi who has to figure out how to give Tsukasa the necessary emotional support that he would never in a million years ask for. It levels the playing field a bit, makes Team Decade feel a little more equal.

Not entirely on her own. Natsumi did get some inspiration from listening to Eijirou and Jii talk, but then she took that inspiration and applied it to her own problem to determine how she can be a comfort to Tsukasa in a way only she can. Even if she can't help him understand his role in the world, just being on his side and someone who will always be waiting for his return, that's such an important thing to have.

Same story for me, except I started with Episode 1 cause I wanted to know what Decade's deal was. I recall seeing Den-O do the "watch on Friday as well!" thing while catching up with Gekiranger as Go-Onger was airing, but it was only through Shinkenger that I became aware of what Kamen Rider actually was. Heisei Rider anyway. I had no idea then that there were Riders before Kuuga, but that's a story for the next world.
