I'm a huge fan of ridiculous upgrades, team-ups, and power spam. What can I say

Don't expect the worst. Just expect vague plot with great action and a couple of redeemable episodes (the Den-O ones)

That said I have similar issues with the ending of W that I did with the ending of Fourze. Way to cheapen what was a very emotionally well done moment by bringing Phillip back. I mean seriously, their final moments together were a serious tearjerker, very well done, and then you spoil it by bringing him back the next episode.

I thought it was generally a good show with a little flare that gets way over exaggerated and exalted by most fans. That's just my 2 cents.

W isn't my first Rider series either. I started with Wizard, which is ongoing. My first series I watched from start to finish was Fourze, so I do have a bit of a special attachment there. W I just felt was incredibly strong from start to finish. Rarely did I feel it dragged on or lost my interest. Thematically it managed to find a wonderful balance between fun, lighthearted moments and dark, dramatic ones. The stories and characters were likeable and interesting. We had a great cast of villains with some pretty neat designs (though I still think I prefer the Zodiarts). Was the show perfect? No, it certainly had its issues, and the overall ending to the series I feel was one of them given how strong the second to last episode was (the series really should have ended there, IMO), but as a whole it was really solid and deserves the praise it gets.

He thought OOO was better than Double afterall. (note: I'm sure OOO is a fine show, but Double is unbeatable. Hence my watching of other rider series to prove this fact that I have no basis for presenting)

Although I am looking around for Agito figures already.

Well...I hear that Double has a more satisfying ending.

For the record, TJOmega is the reason I love Kamen Rider, so I pay tribute to him whenever I can.

Don't. He'll use your pity as a way to revive himself.

I do feel like they could have kept 48 as the final episode and it would have been fine, but I also feel like with W being such a... happy series, having the real ending be a happy one seemed appropriate. I mean, I guess you could pretend the last episode didn't happen, or skip it outright. It's not like there's any lingering plot threads after 48. Almost like they wanted an "optional" finale.

Though it's not like the emotion I felt during 48 was undone by 49. I may, upon rewatching it, just not watch 49 when I get to the end.
