I'm watching the original Kamen Rider on Tokushoutsu and I really enjoy how "raw" the fights are compared to what we have now.

Ghost was actually my first Rider series and I absolutely loved it. I convinced a friend of mine to watch it and she loved it as well. Looking back, there were a lot of issues and it's probably the worst Rider I've seen, but I thought it was a great intro. The early arcs reminded me a lot of Dragon Ball with the eyecon collecting, and then Alain arc had me absolutely hooked. The ending was pretty weak, but I still enjoyed watching it all the way through and am glad it was my first series.

Well that's disappointing to hear, since I tend to prefer a gripping story over good character development or comedy. But Den-O is my favorite Rider design and I liked the actor in Rurouni Kenshin, so I'd like to still watch it some day.
