It would take time for me to make a watch list, since you're not missing out if you watch the important ones.

The only reason not to watch every Black episode is if you have photosensitivity reactions to flashing lights. Even the standalone episodes of Black are great fun.

Hey so who wants to bet we might be getting W Episode 1 tomorrow when they upload the usual Saturday vod?

It's already on there, they uploaded it in the initial offerings when the channel started.

While after watching the first episode, I'd definitely be down for watching the whole thing eventually, I don't quite have time to watch 51 episodes right now and would be very interested in an abridged watching order

A slightly obvious second choice for this week.

All Together! Seven Kamen Riders! is now up. This was kind of the grand finale of the original Showa era after Stronger ended. It's the last appearance of Tachibana Tobei and the final time that Toru Okazaki would appear as Amazon. It was also Hiroshi Fujioka's last appearance as Rider 1 until the 40th anniversary movie crossover with Gaim.

Tachibana appears one more time in a special that aired one week before the first episode of 1979's Kamen Rider. It's called Immortal Kamen Rider Special and from my understanding is pretty similar to this one with Tachibana regaling the stories of the Seven Legendary Riders to a bunch of kids, except it also teases the introduction of Skyrider.

And while it is Fujioka's final on screen appearance until Heisei Riders Vs. Showa Riders, he did provide his voice for Let's Go Kamen Riders.

I'm sorry to say, but I thought the show was mostly boring and a slog to go through. It was very slow paced and 80% of the show was...
-Golgom do something
-Kohtaro reacts to it
-Kohtoro helps VOTW (which is mostly kids, who have very little variation)
-Gets into fight
-Transforms and kills monster
-Kohtaro says farewell to VOTW and then rides off.
And yes, the Shadow Moon stuff is the best thing about the show, but it doesn't happen until the very end of the series.
