Honestly, it could've topped V3 as my favorite Showa season, but it's going to be lower on my ranking now.
Ah, so it got hit with the mid-show shake-up that a handful of other Rider shows have, huh? Well, I ended up liking the second half of Super-1 alot despite its showcomings, so hopefully Skyrider will be much the same.

Yeah, that was definitely the feeling that I got. He's a likable enough guy, so I'm glad he was brought back.

Of all the different Kamen Rider theme songs, this is the one that will occasionally just pop into my head for no reason.
It's so good! Moreo JUMP!

If you've paid any attention to my thoughts on comic relief characters in Kamen Rider all these years, it should come as no surprise that I absolutely hate this guy. He adds nothing to the stories and only shows up for one or two scenes to flail around while making exaggerated facial expressions. He's even worse than Onari because at least Onari ostensibly had more of a purpose to the show.
Oh I can for sure see how Imata would get old quick for some viewers. He's very much the same joke done over and over again with very few exceptions, but it hasn't gotten old for me yet, haha.

Comparing Skyrider to Black and RX is definitely gonna be an interesting thought exercise for me, given my mixed feelings on those two seasons. But hey, maybe Skyrider will hit some sort of stride soon and make it easier on me to compare and contrast.

I'll come right out and say that I think Rider shows were weaker than a lot of other toku during this time period though, at least from my somewhat limited experience.
I'm not very experienced with alot of Toku of the 70s and 80s, so I can't really say much. I would definitely recommend checking out Super-1 though. I had a ton of fun watching that last year.
Tsukuba is definitely interesting as a protag, because he seems kinda like the prototype for Kazuya from Super-1. Both guys being martial arts experts who lose people they care about at the very start and, while overall meaning well, definitely have their more jerkish tendencies on occasion.
