Kabuto - Still the best.

But I am curious, what exactly about it is it that you don't enjoy?

Although it's lamebrained to do an anniversary show and, you know, not include anybody from the show you're supposed to be celebrating, even overlooking the recasts and reimagining, I think the show's just a really poorly written mess. And not even entertaining! (Thanks for another winner, Shou Aikawa.) Almost like the show exists to make previously horrible entries look better. "Hey, you thought Ryuki eventually started sucking? Well, our ridiculous Law & Order: Nippon reimagining will make Yui monster drawings and Goro-chan death speech recipes look like freaking Agito!"

It goes beyond the recasting, too. Put in Joe Odagiri or Takamasa Suga and, hey, while it's cool to see them, if they were in the show as it is now, it would be a HUMONGOUS letdown.

I don't see the appeal of the show. The original characters are flat and uninteresting; what's so great about all the suits slugging it out? And, fine, it's a revamped/reimagining/remake/reboot -- I don't find what they're doing to be interesting. It's heavily diluted versions of the real shows. Like, you know when a movie or show has a really forced and pointless comic book spin-off, or novelization, and they're usually pretty damn awful? That's been Decade so far. An interesting concept, terrible execution. But that's been most of the Heisei Rider shows, so maybe it IS an appropriate anniversary series.

I only like a few of the Heisei Rider shows, and I still feel like this show's an insult, so I don't understand how some of you huge Rider fans can like this show.
 
I didn't care for Kabuto for the most part. I enjoyed the character of Gattack, but that was about it. I didn't really care for anyone else in the show. My main problem with the show was the lack of a coherent story. There were many plot holes and story lines that just didn't have any backing. The entire issue with the sword. It was just suddenly there. No explanation for it at all. It's not my least favorite rider show, in fact it is better than most of the last 10 years IMO.

Blade and Ryuki are my two favorites of this past decade. Kuuga was ok, but I am not as big a fan of it as some people are. Kabuto is not the worst, but IMO it is also not the best. If they had tied up some lose ends, and explained things a bit more, I would have enjoyed it a lot more than I did.
 
Kabuto had a variety of uber-cool stuff; and for that I love it. For that and for "God Speed Love". But I liked Den-O a lot more in the long term.

And that's about as far as my Kamen Rider experience goes. I have to sit my ass down and see the other shows I have lying on my shelves at some point.
 
They contributed nothing to the story?

There is nothing likeable about two useless character walking around in torn leather jackets mumbling about partners and brothers.

Lies all lies! If that would were true I would not like angel or spike from the buffy series at a ll either :P You are right they are uber random thrown into it but that is part of what makes them fun :D
 
spike and angel actually had some part in the story, yaguruma and kageyama didn't make any sense at all, i still argue that the only reason the hoppers were put in the series was because it was their 35th anniversary

They should of made Kagaimi the main thebee user in beginning or have Yaguruma back as thebee.
