I'm 1/2 way through Kabuto- what now?

If we're going for the "skimming overview" approach... Decade could probably do that better. IMO.

You're going to hear many different things from all of us. Some who hate Kuuga for its singular rider, people hating Hibiki because it was different, Den-O because its comedy, whatever the case. You shouldn't read too much into our opinions because in the end, its yours that counts.

And sometimes people even like Kamen Rider!

Choose whatever you feel like is going to be most entertaining,satisfying and exciting for you to watch.

This. Yeah, that's pretty much the best lesson to learn when it comes to tokusatsu, but Kamen Rider most of all. What's one's person's bees knees is often anathema to others.

"Dude, Decade was AWESOME what should I watch next?" "Kabuto, dude!" "'kay!" aiiiiiiiiiigh...

Actually, what I did since Decade got me interested in Heisei, was I just watched all the intro sequences to the other series. Call me crazy, but those worked as really good indicators for me of a show's tone and purpose. That's how I found Den-O!

That's why I like Kamen Rider. There's something for everybody.

Me, I just watch them in order... Though I had to since I watched them during the year they were airing... But bottomline is, whether I hated a series or not, I forced myself to finish them because I have in me the urge to know all of the stories of every series.

So far, I only experienced almost giving-up midway in Kiva, and was thinking about it in Decade, but my love for Otoya got the better of me and knowing Decade was just short made the pain last a lot shorter than usual.

But it's "Kamen Rider", you love it, you hate it, it's just a form of entertainment to some, but a religion to others...

I'd say go watch Ryuki, then W and then Faiz and Kiva

:thumbs:

after Kabuto, go with Kuuga or Agito or Blade or Double or Faiz..then go for the differently themed ones like Ryuki, Hibiki, Kiva or Den-O..

And I believe once you start a KR series, watch the whole series..whether you find it awful or nice...just like what I did with Den-O..I didnt like it the first time I saw it but dragged myself to finish it...

Looking at some of our posts, you'd think an actual Kamen Rider fan on HJU was rare.

I,m at episode 41 of Kabuto and so far i realy like it.( even if there are some stupid things in it.:sweat
I am kind of new to Kamen Rider but does someone know if there some episodes i can skip in Ryuki but without missing much of the plot?
I have seen 13 episodes so far but it feels like i have been watching 30 episodes and i think it is a little boring. So could someone tell me when Ryuki starts to get realy good?

I recently finished Kabuto, I found it quite entertaining. The only things I didn't like were; Too many riders even though, I totally liked Hopper kick/punch. Also, the ending. It was very rushed it seemed at points and like elongated at others. One more thing, KR Punch Hopper's Rider, Kageyama, is a total bitch. Other than that, the movie was awesome. Gackt and Kabuto were really cool. Tendou Souji is a total badass, great series.

W just makes me smile. So I am also on my quest for a new KR series to watch. I have sampled a few of them, Ryuki (10 eps then dropped.) and Hibiki (12 in then dropped.). I was thinking about watching Fiaz or Blade. Those ones look appealing to me, though Blade's suit is kinda unappealing. I guess it's just something that you grow into liking? I don't know, Ozu looks pretty interesting. I'll still fallow it even if it's a flop, because I wanna be cool like all of you guys.

I think we lost our cool status once we started watching Japanese children's programs and screaming on internet forums about how much we hate them
