      Would rather re-watch Wizard a 3rd time before Ghost again. Sure Ghost wasn't as bad as the first time through but it still felt like a slog on re-watch for me.

    This has been the most wholesome recommendation ever. No hate towards other seasons, no bashing, just a nice explanation and a "you do you" message.

    Honestly, I'd recommend Zero One to anyone just getting into Kamen Rider since its a good enough introduction to the series while being fairly recent. Then Ex Aid since the beginning few episodes do a good job with pacing and establishing people

      Hey quick question:
      Are most of the Kamen Rider series in the same universe? I’ve been looking into the series, and read that at the end of Decade, they were combined into a single universe. Is that still cannon, and if so what shows post Decade are set in it? Also, what happened to the alternate worlds in Decade? Did they combine into the main Universe as well, or are they still their own Universes?
      Please keep in mind that I haven’t seen any Kamen Rider yet(though I plan on watching Kamen Rider J soon) but I mind being spoiled.

    • @monsunoguy19
      @monsunoguy19 3 роки тому +4

      @@gomora1270 Most seasons are stand alone save for some cross overs but usually they rule that as dimensional anomalies. So even if that Decade ending were cannon, it was never mentioned again. So feel free to start wherever you want ^^

      Do you seriously recommend ZERO ONE to everyone? Oh, my God... This season is a complete disappointment in terms of plot and character motivation. Especially Sauser and Valkyrie, who change their motivations at the click of a finger and as if nothing happened. The actions of the characters are absolutely made for a tick and do not affect the plot in any way. Well, Horobi's motivation to kill humanity is the stupidest. And Yes, the plot was written by Yuya Takahashi, who wrote the wretched Ex-Aid. By destroying your Canon and so on. I'm really wondering why you didn't recommend Kuuga or Faiz and Blade. Most episodes this season are full fillers and recaps

    • @SlapstickGenius23
      @SlapstickGenius23 3 роки тому +2

      The original kamen rider Amazon already has three contrasting manga adaptations, one by Ishinomori (as the writer) and Morihiko Ishikawa (as the artist of Sherlock Holmes manga fame) that is played for body horror but unluckily incomplete (to this day) thanks to Toei’s then agitating push to make the Kamen Rider Stronger show, the more comedic but still incomplete one by Tsuchiyama and the more complete one by Mitsuru Sugaya of Game Center Arashi fame, which is played for dark comedy like its Toku counterpart.

    One of my favorite things about Kamen Rider is that it’s easy to find fans of every season. I personally have found even in seasons where the writing or pacing may not be the best, there is still an admirable amount of passion behind it to keep me invested. Very glad I found this franchise.
    Also the suits are just so darn cool.

  • @SquabsMcGee
    @SquabsMcGee 3 роки тому +57

    Den-O is hands down my favorite season of all time. This was the beginning of the funny jokes and gags that Kamen riders get to play with these days.
    Also! W is a great place to start if you’re interested in unraveling the sub plots of the series!

    I watched Kamen Rider Build as my first season and it was great!
    I think the characters will really appeal to anyone coming from an anime background, the editing is also really energetic and keeps up with the cartoony comedy style the writing has on the more casual moments
    It's also a really dark season! It has elements of both Hesei phase 1 and 2. The actors do a really great job of conveying the weight of the dramatic scenes.
    Also, it's CHOCK FULL of different suits! That was my favorite part, I think. I love W, but I was a bit sad to find out it had only a handful of different forms and powers. Build has many different power combinations, usually of an organic object and an inorganic object, so you're sure to have a favorite one. Mine is Pirate/Train! My boyfriend's is RabbitRabbit :B

    *People from 5 years into the future* : "Why can't you recommend any more Reiwa series? Huh? What's wrong with Reiwa?" lol
    My favorite series are always going to be Wizard and Decade. I started Kamen Rider with watching Wizard, and went on from there. With Decade, I found myself relating to Decade himself a whole lot. I know it's not the most accurate since he goes to A.R Worlds, but I still love it.

    Heya newcomers! At the end of the video, we were asked to give some recommendations. Heres my piece on the matter
    Id most likely recommend
    1) Kamen rider Gaim: an excellent season with some genuinely amazing characters, it looks a little silly but trust me, things get serious quick
    2) Kamen rider Zero-one: the first series of Reiwa brings alot to the table. Love-able characters, awesome suits, a great story, and some real heartfelt moments
    3) Kamen rider Decade: Not my style personally but it is a beloved series in the fandom. With an amazing lead character, genuinely funny moments and an interesting story, this series is s good watch
    4) Lastly I would recommend Kamen rider Build: This series made me laugh, cry and had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. This series features an amazing cast of characters, a fantastic plot, some of the coolest suits in rider, and an amazing soundtrack. This series is a must watch!

    Tbh, My favorite KR series is Kamen Rider Den-O because its just light-hearted and has comedy that I can't forget with, Including the main character (Ryotaro). Even has a little hint of sadness om it, It's still pretty lit so that is my suggestion for it

    @kickassssnation027 3 роки тому +25

    If your starting with W, I'd recommend to try Drive as a go around. Its structured the same as W but it has its own personality to it and you could never really hate many of the characters in it except for the true villain. The only bad thing about Drive was that it was overshadowed by its predecessor, Gaim. Other than that, try it. You'll love everybody there except for one.

    @hkpika9730 Рік тому +3

    I would recommend Kamen Rider Ex Aid! I may be bias as it’s my first kamen rider but it has an amazing story with great characters and a great villain. The villain is so wacky and a very “love to hate him” vibe. The four main doctors grow and learn to trust and rely on each other throughout the season and thus offers a ton of both funny and heartwarming moments. Plus how can you go wrong with a medical drama centered around video games? It’s wacky, heartfelt, and has great action scenes. Also the suits are fucking epic.

  • @Azem4144
    @Azem4144 3 роки тому +6

    I'd personally recommend Den-O because of its comedy.
    Kabuto, because of the protagonist being cool. Fun fact, Kabuto was the most popular series because of the Rider's design too. From my perspective, it was the most popular before Heisei 2 came in.
    BLACK and BLACK RX. The protagonist is the same person.
    And my own current personal number 1 recommendation is: Kamen Rider Build.
    I just like the story, and the partnership between the protagonist and the partner. There are some comedy too.

I tried to get into Ichigo years ago, but despite how much I loved the acting and camp I eventually moved away from it, but Heisei era Kamen Rider is really knocking it out of the park for me, and it makes me excited to get into the other Kamen Rider seasons as I go on!

  • @epiclinksam9805
    @epiclinksam9805 3 роки тому +2

    My recommendations based on eras:
    -For Showa, Kamen Rider Black, since it's one of the latest Showa Seasons, and is well loved.
    -For Heisei Phase 1, Kamen Rider Den-O. A well rounded season that's quite fun.
    -For Heisei Phase 2, Kamen Rider Double. My personal favorite Season in the franchise. It's very well rounded, with tons of cool action, powers that aren't too confusing, lovable characters and fantastic writing.
    -For Reiwa, Zero-One... because that's the only option at the moment. Still a good season though.
    For other recommendations on more unique cases:
    -If you're a fan of anime, try Kamen Rider Fourze. The head writer of the show is also responsible for some of Studio Trigger's greatest works such as Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill and Promare.
    -If you're a video game fan, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid is a good spot. You'll love the amount of references the show has. If you also happen to like doctor dramas, that's an extra bonus.
    -If you're someone who likes series that are much darker, but fairly recent, Kamen Rider Build is a fantastic choice. It has a much more mature tone, but still has all that classic Kamen Rider love.
    -If you're a risk taker, try Kamen Rider Ghost. It's not well-liked by most fans. I went in with low expectations, but personally, I enjoyed it.
    -If you're someone that likes interacting with the fanbase, Kamen Rider Saber will start airing soon after this comment. You can start watching it and talk with others.

    My first rider show was OOO, it was still airing. I remember marathoning it until TaJaDor's debut, then I needed to wait a week from then on. I would highly recommend W to most people due to it being modern enough that the early Heisei jank isn't there, plus it's just a great show overall. I think that it's an easier sell....even with Akiko.

  • @GrizzlyAdams94
    @GrizzlyAdams94 2 роки тому +3

    I started my Kamen Rider journey a few months back, currently I've watched about half of the original, Black, Kuuga, about half of RX and I'm keeping up with Revice as it airs. I've been bouncing around the franchise history
    So far my personal favorite is Kuuga, I love the character relations and touches of Drama mixed in, helps to ground things a little and makes it feel like one long adventure as oppose to the more episodic nature of the Showa era.
    Black also has a very good story, the connection between Black and Shadow Moon adds a tragic element, and on a personal note, Black is my favorite Kamen Rider design currently
    The original is just plain fun, each episode is like a 20 minute B-movie with rubber suited monsters and the evil Shocker organization, I highly recommend checking out at least a bit of it

    "You could start anywhere without watching anything prior."
    I watched showa episode 1 season 1, but then I later actually started with Double, and when i got to one the movies i was lost and confused through half of it because I didn't watch Decade first.
    Be weary of the movies, everyone. Especially the canon ones. Ya may need to look up between which episodes a movie takes place. Oh boy...
    Then I went back and finished showa season 1, and I loved it.
    That said, I personally reccomend Ichigo, Kuuga, Double, OOO, Zero-One, or Saber.

    I've loved Kamen RIder from the first five minutes I saw my first season, Decade. Me personally though, I always love to recommend Double. Its episodic while still having an over arching story, as you said the characters are all fun and memorable, and the music just rocks so much! (oh yeah, the action is pretty good too I guess lol)

    I like both Ultraman & Kamen Rider. I just go with what looks cool and the movies help to I might see a rider that sticks out to me and go look him up. Right now I'm into Kamen Rider Rabbit

    To me honestly I chose the shows that either had a great suit or cool concept. Cause for me, the first series that I’ve seen and still enjoy is kiva.
    Kiva follows a shut-in with a strange,unexplored past that he tries to find due to recently seeing he is human. This is taboo, as he has the powered materials of the being kiva, a powerful suit given to the king of Fangires; which are essentially family friendly vampires. This also follows the main characters father and the events of led up to the present day, and how there connected. A lot of people don’t necessarily like this one, as it has its problems and is a required taste. But I’d say give it a chance as it has some great emotional moments and some very funny yet slapstick humor at some points.
    How about some cards with Blade? This follows the story of two riders known as Blade and Garren, who are sent to seal undead warriors of a forgotten time in order to gain there abilities. While this is happening, there is also a lone rider known as chalice and as the show goes on; we soon learn about truth around him and the significance behind the broken seal on the deck in the first place. It’s slow at first, but It has some very significant action and scenes that I would say is some of the best in kamen rider. With some story events that makes both the characters and the audience ask was it worth it in the first place.
    Now how about a movie? Sure you may not be a fan of showa but I would still recommend ZX. It’s essentially a legacy movie telling the tale of the 10th kamen rider and his fight against typical Showa villains. I always debate in my mind if I like or dislike this movie but I always enjoy watching through it and enjoying the main character Ryo Murasame being one of my favorites in the first place.

  • @KamenSentaiGavan
    @KamenSentaiGavan 3 роки тому +3

    I actually feel decade is a great place to start for early heisei. It gives you a little taste of the earlier riders so you can decide where you wanna go next, and it’s shorter than most/all regular seasons, so you get through it at a good pace.

  • @archangel5627
    @archangel5627 Рік тому

    Now I’ve always known about Kamen Rider, at least I recognize the character when I see him but other than that I didn’t know much about him or any of the shows. Interestingly enough my first real taste of Kamen Rider was recently when I sat down and watched a few episodes of Zero One. I was immediately impressed with the overall presentation and the fast paced nature of the show. With that being said, I decided to go all the way back and watch the first episode of the original 1971 tv show and I have to say that I loved it. Considering it was the first entry in this ever expanding long running series, I had no idea the original show was as dark and serious as it was. Coming from just watching Zero One, the first Kamen Rider show is surprisingly adult in its theme and tone. I also really enjoyed the campy over the top villains and the general storyline. So far the first 10 episodes are absolutely fantastic for a show that’s 52 years old. I can honestly say I’m an official Kamen Rider fan and I look forward to seeing the new remake film Shin Kamen Rider and all the other tv shows and movies in the franchise. Thank you for uploading this video and your explanation on the different eras of Kamen Rider. Take care and I also look forward to seeing another one of your videos. Cheers!

    I'd say W, OOO, and Fourze (in that order) is a great season to start. Since these three season are really easy to get in to, the characters are really charming, and I out of all Heisei season, those three season is probably the most connected (and I personally think the movie + the cross over movie of these three season is up there being the best movie in Kamen Rider)

    My buddy and I decided to start from the beginning and work our way forward last year. We are currently about to start Kamen Rider Kabuto! I would personally recommend going in chronological order if you just wanna "watch Kamen Rider". (as in, you've heard of the series in general and wanna check it out) It's awesome watching the shows change from season to season, era to era. That said: Watch Black if you want a great, moody "monster of the week". Watch Kuuga for a fucking classic solid Kamen Rider series. For something dramatic watch Ryuki or Blade. And for something light and sweet I would recommend Hibiki (but only the first 30)

  • @jayjin5530
    @jayjin5530 3 роки тому +4

    I always reccomend people Kamen Rider Build. Why? Because it's a great show, the show that got me into Rider, and it's as if you took every good aspect of past shows and built them into a amazing show that's an emotional rollercoaster. After that I reccomend 3 other shows that they could go down the path of, kind of like a branch. If you liked the first arc where they were exploring the mystery of Sento's past, I would reccomend W since it's a mystery show and also has a half and half theme and shares many aspects as Build. If they liked the fun cast and funny moments, Kamen Rider Den-O and Kamen Rider Fourze are some of the most fun Kamen Rider shows with loveable casts but also some extremely heart felt moments and a lot of tear jerkers. If they loved seeing Kazumin simping over Miitan or actually didn't like Build's style and want a more drama centered series, they should go for Kamen Rider Faiz and Kiva, both of which are centered around love, with characters gaining feelings for others, Faiz being carried by it's amazing high tension character interactions that carry the show's plot and Kiva with it's cool 2 timeline story.

  • @ClumpyWoods
    @ClumpyWoods Рік тому +1

    I'd recommend Build and Ex-Aid (2017 and 2016 respectively) off the bat, they are both amazing, have great plots with theory potential all over the place, and amazing casts you can really get into. they're both pretty dark, but once you get into them, there is no going out until the final episode, in a good way.
    The latest season, Geats (2022) is also well worth watching, we're only 13 episodes in as of writing and it has been awesome. It is based off of fortnite, but it brings so much more than that, and there's so much mystery left to unravel with it.

  • @kidridgedLP
    @kidridgedLP 3 роки тому +1

    My Introduction to Kamen Rider was Dragon Knight back when it aired on the CW4kids. I remember when it finished I went and looked up Kamen Rider and found Decade so I started there for the Japanese series. It got me interested in other seasons mostly Kiva, and Den-O. I honestly agree with the go what looks cool mentality. Because of that I tried Kiva before seeing any other opinions on it and loved it. But if I had to give my own opinion on what series to try first. Either OOOs, W, Frouze, or Den-O. I feel those are the most fun seasons with the right amount of drama to go with their fun. To be fair I have only really gotten to see a hand full of riders since it's been hard to find out how to watch the other ones after Wizard for me. I'm just now getting a chance to see Kuuga.

      I pretty much had mostly the same experience getting into the franchise. Cept I was originally a little more keen on the Showa seasons, and the first full season I watched was Gaim. I'd also add maybe Build to the list of starter seasons, and ZO (even if that's a movie and not a full TV show)
