I second Ryuki, though expect a bonehead to ask why Knight "looks like Batman, uh, duh, man, am I clever or whuuut?". Blade is badass, too! If you have a group who smoke a lot of pot, you could drop a Gaim bomb on 'em and they'll be hooked.

No pot smoking that I'm aware of, so I won't scare anybody with the fruit on the head lol.

That depends on what kind of shows they already like. I personally recommend W as a first, but they might like something different like Amazons

I think Amazons would be best since it was made with an adult audience in mind.

There's an HD scrub of Kabuto, but not the entire show.

Kamen Rider is so eclectic, I think you might want to show a few different first episodes from a few series and let the group go from there.

Ah, that presents a problem.

I actually like the sound of Amazons too but I feel like the first 40 minutes of episode 1 are kind of a bore so I don't know if it's worth it.

I guess Ryuki would be cool but with stuff like wonky CG giant spiders in the first episode I might disagree that it's aged well.

It's definitely worth it, Amazons is the first time they made an adult focused Rider-concept work IMO.

Hey, you don't gotta tell me that, I thought it was great.

Does anyone know how to scrub or would be willing to teach? It frustrates me there's all these Rider shows on bluray but nobody has put subtitles on them.
