Kamen Rider Stronger is awsome...

Stronger actually has one of my favorite costumes, period.

Great Rider, great series.

^ I agree with that. Seriously, he had that big S on his chest! All he lacks is a team up with a certain Superman.

:thumbs:

Jimmy: "I think this guy's trying to cop your style, pal."

Superman: "No Jimmy. Stronger is a hero with a style all his own."
 
Stronger had one of the BEST finales in KR history. They thought it was going to be the last KR show, so they really made an effort in making the last episodes good.
We had a long build-up to the finale with the past Riders returning one by one, which lead to the final battle against the "Great Leader"

Oh, and let us not forget about General Shadow.
Best... KR... Villain... Ever!
 
I loved it, and I didn't even watch it complete.
Stronger had a style and feel I loved... I absolutely loved, and the return episodes are excellent, every Rider is portrayed as an experienced badass.
And yes, General Shadow is one of the best KR Villains.
I loved the guy's personality, defiant 'till the end, and standing tall and strong even at his death. Wanna know how to tell if a KR villain is a badass? See if he blows up while still standing, without falling. Apollo Geist's death at Ep. 31 of Decade was very reminiscent of General Shadow's.

Eh :sweat:, I hope I didn't spoil anything big for anyone.
 
Not only that. He took a full Rider Kick without even getting weakened. Back then, that was quite a rarity.

Shadow was just one of the examples of how far the KR villains had come at that point. The personalities were not so two-dimensional, and the kaijin suits were actually quite nice, and a big step up from Amazon that came before it.

Stronger also did something towards the end, which I wish Decade would have done as well.
Besides getting all the old actors back, we got at least one BGM from each of the previous shows, not to mention a new version of V3’s theme song.
This is something I wanted to see in Decade, but sadly, only the Den-O and Kabuto music was included, and that only lasted… what? 2 episodes?
 
I really, really want to see STRONGER! I remember looking at stills on a website when I first discovered what toku really was and what the KR series was. I was overwhelmed at which KR show to pick first, so I made my decision based on the posted pictures of each show's monsters. I remember I picked STRONGER out of all the rest. It's a memory decision that makes the show still stick out to me, even though I don't remember exactly why or what pictures I saw. I also later read on another site about the epic All Rider ending story arc, which according to that website's author was the best KR team-up ever. That clenched it! And, I like the suit. It's a little goofy and a little weird, but still really cool. It's a bold departure that still stands out today.

I was hoping that somebody would start in on subbing it at some point, but I guess I will have to start watching it RAW. Did anybody here watch it RAW, or do you all speak Japanese? And if so, does it ruin anything by watching it RAW?

It's very likely you're talking about the Riders' Henshin Hall of Fame page (which overwhelmed me too).
And last I remembered, I watched it in HK subs via Veoh (hey that sounded funny).
