Blade is the best, but most people think it starts out slowly.

Black is awesome, Kotaro is one of the most badass riders ever, but this show misses a lot of potential and the character development is subpar.

Kabuto is a mixed bag. THe first 40 episodes are pretty good, but the show falls to crap during the last 10 with forgotten plot lines, deus ex machina bull****, and a lackluster finale.

So far I am enjoying Black WAY more than Blade, Blade is cripplingly slow and the action sequences are terrible.

Black on the other hand may not have as much focus as modern series, being less of one long story and more a series of unified adventures but man those adventures are enjoyable, the action scenes are great and Kotaro is such a cool Rider.

Completely disagree, but I don't think you have gotten to Leangle yet either.

I do agree with you on this.

Black Eleven was another fantastic episode! The Cactus Mutant in himself was awesome, and the story of converting people into basically compost for the plants was fucked up in a cool way.

Plus, who could have expected an added bonus of Black fighting Golgom directly! Black is extremely badass anyway, but it gave me chills that Golgom actually backed away from him, that they were scared of our hero! Fucking awesome.

Really my only annoyance is the creative liberties, like this episode where Kotaro walks into a crimescene and no one stops him, then a policeman explains at length what I assume is information no policeman would give to the public in the real world. I know it's just a toku show blahblah but I'm not dumb enough to swallow this stuff.

Up to the part in Den-O where Zeronos comes in, and this show just continues to beat OOO in the "WTF is going on" department. But it is good to see another Imagin that is more fun to watch than the human charaters

Hilariously, Leangle's story starts decently, but then gets spread way to long.

I still think Blade is one of the better Rider series, though. It had a compelling story, mostly likable characters (Even characters who showed up for a whopping 4 episodes become memorable), and wonderful designs. I'll concede that the action isn't the best KR has presented, but I like the story and characters enough to overlook that fault.

Blade's design has to be one of, if not the, absolute best Rider designs that they've ever come up with. It's so clean and smooth. Chalice is a very close second.

Chalice's is my favourite Blade Rider design so far, I wasn't huge on Garren or Blade at the beginning but the more time I spend with them the more I notice all the little details on their suits that really makes me warm to them, I reckon they'll be fantastic figures.

What I truly love in this series though is not the Rider suits, but the Undead. So far all of the Undead have looked FANTASTIC, especially, ironically, the throwaway of the week Undead.

For that I'd go Grongi. They are my absolute favorite.

Chalice has one of my favorite Rider designs of all time. I love it.

The Undead have great designs. Even monsters of the week look great. The only fault I have are that they don't really indicate the monster's rank in their design.
