So KRDL lists loads of external crap, what do I need to have watched before episode one? And how do all these movies, anime and colour coded episodes fit in?

I'll also look into Blade! I have no interest in Ryuki.

Yay!

And why not? I'm not suggesting it because you like KRDK. I'm suggesting it because it's a good show.

As well as W, Ryuki, Kiva, Black, a bunch of others...

Den-O? Nothing. Nothing before the series, that is. There's one movie that takes place between 26 and 27 that's essential. It's called Ore Tanjou/I'm born. Other than that just the series and worry about the post-series movies later.

Really? I could only ever find those with Spanish or Thai subs.

Alright I'll remember to watch the movie after 26 if I pursue that series!

It's because I like that show. I know the two shows are meant to be completely different beasts but KRDK is one of my all time favourite series and it'd be weird to see the suits and battles in an entirely new context, when their use in KRDK is so ingrained in my heart. It's kinda like the whole dub sub thing with Digimon.

Don't worry. The show will do that for you.
Literally, the show spends an entire episode setting up the plot for the movie.

Ah, I understand.
Well, if you can ever get past that certain barrier, do try to give it a shot.

Ah that is convenient!

And I'll chalk Ryuki up to another 'I will watch it, eventually' Rider show.

Yeah, wasn't a big fan. I loved the gimmick and the characters but I'm not a big fan of heroes who steam roll through everything and so after five or six episodes I was already bored, there was never a sense of tension or stakes.

So I checked out Blade 01 - it was okay, seemed like a lot of Kamen Rider shows mushed together rather than its own unique show and so much was crammed in it was kinda hard to follow at times. That said it was nice to see villains actually do some damage again and I do appreciate the tech sciencefictiony Rider shows more than I do the fantasy ones. I've always been a massive science fiction geek but never really got into fantasy.

The Rider suits were kinda bland but it was very action packed so at least it wasn't boring. Also wow, a journalist character who isn't a scumbag? Or is he just another scheming maggot trying to get in his good graces to fuck him over?

[Matrixbeast]

I actually forgot Kenzaki was a journalist.
But yeah, Kenzaki is the farthest from a scumbag.
