I think it's a good show, personally. The suits and fights are definitely good, anyway.

It's not worth watching IMO, but it's definitely worth checking out for yourself to see if your opinion differs from mine

It's not the best Rider show out there, but not the worst. The fights are usually pretty good, though, and Haruto is one of my favorite modern Riders.

I would avoid Wizard, but I also think it's the worst Kamen Rider show and it would take something really, really bad to beat it out. I felt a lot of the characters were flat and for as grand a story as it had on paper, it moved at a snail's pace and by the time things started happening, you were already towards the end of the series. It felt very phoned in, more than any Rider show I've ever seen.

Like, I dislike Drive and even I thought that show was good in stretches.

Personally speaking, Wizard was only good for the aesthetics and action. The suits were beautiful, some of my favorite in Rider, and the action was great, very flowery, not something you get often with Rider.

I'd give Wizard a try, and make your own opinions. It was the first rider show I watched, and I've still got some fond memories of some of the episodes. Like Magical Girl Beast

[Castellan Zilla]

Magical Girl Beast never fails to make me laugh. It's a testament to how wonderful Nitoh was.

Too bad I expected more on Wizard. Speaking of which, how would rewrite Wizard to make it one of the best KR series to watch?

What I see it?

- Wizard fights like Dante. If there was someone named "Warlock", he'd fight like Vergil. Beast was disappointing like he doesn't know what he's dealing with. The Wizard Dragon powers - Blizzard, Thunder & Gravity. I'd give it to "Warlock". That way, if Wizard Dragon is used, he'd share them from that mage.

- The Phantom generals? They could've at least more than just Phoenix, Medusa & Gremlin.

- Haruto? He'd be a traveling magician with Koyomi as his assistant, traveling the world saving people from despair. While there are some he was unable to save.

- Rinko? If she'd be more useful, she'd be given silver bullets by Haruto to protect herself.

- Beast Hyper was the worst. Why couldn't have just absorbed Phoenix after Wizard defeated him instead of throwing him into the sun.

[GoldenXtreme]

Wizard is decent I think. The story is a mess and the characters don't DO much but I find the cast enjoyable and many of the concepts interesting, like Phantoms and the variety of Wizard Rings.

Sounds like Ninninger, which I actually did enjoy.

Wizard is one of the more special effects laden KR series around, by the by, so take that as you will.
When Haruto delivers his flipping rider kick, it's awesome, but when he uses any dragon power, be prepared for a CG fest.
