I really should get around to finishing Faiz, but I honestly can't even make it past the 15 mark before dropping it. It just doesn't gel with me. Like, everything besides the Horse Orphenoch's story really doesn't interest me.
I'm probably gonna give Saber another chance one of these days now that some batch subs have dropped. I'm just not in a particular mood for it right now
As for the reasoning behind my rankings, the four S tier shows are top notch. Kamen Rider that you can't go wrong with. Double, OOO, and Ex-Aid are universally agreed to be amazing, while I personally feel that Blade is slept on far too much. It really is just that good!
A tier are shows that you can't go wrong with. Some people feel Build and Gaim should be S tier, but I feel their flaws are just too big compared to the actual S tier shows. Agito took a bit, but it grew on me and I'd say it's definitely deserves a spot at low A.
B are the shows with major flaws, but still completely enjoyable in their own right. This tier was actually ranked in order of quality. When I first watched Kabuto, I was indifferent on it. And 5 years ago, I probably would've put Kabuto somewhere along C to even D tier. However, upon rewatching it, it's charm and style is just infectious. It's plot is insane, but otherwise, it's not bad. Drive is carried by it's cast, even if the plot isn't all that great. Fourze and Den-O are not bad, but very much shows that don't give a fuck about the plot.
Zero-One...Eh, it had potential to be A tier, but fumbled the ball and ended up bottom of B.
Hibiki occupies a curious space. If you take the first half of the show, it's solid A tier material. Different in a refreshing way. A story about growing up that also just happens to feature a Kamen Rider. If you take the series as a whole...Yeah, nawh. Because the tier list didn't include 2 pictures to represent both sides of Hibiki's coin, it gets it's own slot
C tier are shows that don't have enough substance for me to really enjoy. Kuuga is adored and it revived Kamen Rider and Godai is the greatest and blah. It just did so little for me, coupled with an unbelievable amount of hype that it fell flat. A few years later I've softened on it, but I still don't see it as that great.
Also Go-Gadoru-Ba > N-Daguva-Zeba
Ryuki is a series that I watched very early on when I first got into the toku, and one I never rewatched. But coupled with such little impact it left on me alongside a story that didn't grip me, I feel it's C. Revice is still airing, but as it stands, yeah.
D shows are bad. Kiva's love story plot is interesting, but that's all it had going for it. The present day stuff is just plain bad. I hate Wizard. Beast helped, but that wasn't enough. That said, I can recognize that it wasn't all bad, even if I disliked it. Ghost is only here because it's strangely not as bad as the two shows in F.
Fuck Decade. Fuck Zi-O. Strange that both these shows are about the titular character becoming an all powerful murderer that one of their companions exists to stop. That aside, all style over substance. That's nice and all, but aside from stuff like the double Black transformation, or the Agito and Zi-O double Trinity moments, there wasn't enough to hold things together.
