Re: This was my first Kamen Rider.
Well, like I have said, I have come to dislike Decade. That is not to say that it did not have its' own merits. What Decade really inspired me to do was look at the KR shows that came before and see what they were really like. Having watched nearly all of the Heisei era shows now, I can agree with you. While you are so angry with the way that they treated 555, I am upset with how they treated Kabuto and Kiva and I watched those shows after I watched Decade.

Re: This was my first Kamen Rider.
Personally, while I haven't seen Kuuga, Agito or Kiva yet, the only AR World I didn't like is the Ryuki one. The Rider court system was too stupid, but all the other worlds were compelling stories based on what-if scenarios, like "What if humans and Fangires coexisted?" or "What if BOARD was still around?" or "What if the main characters in Faiz were actually likable?" (Wasn't really a fan of the original Faiz, hated the cast.)
I think people just get too stuck on the fact that they're alternate universes. I mean, sure, it's a kick in the teeth as far as anniversaries go, but just because it fails as a tribute doesn't automatically make it a bad story.

Re: This was my first Kamen Rider.
Overall Decade is not a bad show. I just wouldn't recommend it to get someone interested in KR even though that is how it went for me The "What if?" scenarios are intersting but personally I think that they should never been answered.

Re: This was my first Kamen Rider.
I watched Decade because it was the Kamen Rider counterpart to Gokaiger. I loved Gokaiger because it did well in teaching me about all the past sentai in an entertaining and intriguing manner

Re: This was my first Kamen Rider.
Decade was my first Kamen Rider as well. I decided to start watching it because I had only been watching Super Sentai at the time, and I was fully caught up with Go-Busters and looking for a new show to occupy my time while I wait for new episodes of GB. The first time I watched it, it was interesting enough/I liked it enough to decide to continue watching Kamen Rider as a series along with Super Sentai. I didn't even know the proper order of KR at the time, I was just going off of which Rider System I liked the best from Decade, and that was Hibiki. So, "true" Kamen Rider fans, go ahead and rag on me because my first introductions to the Kamen Rider universe were Decade and Hibiki, the two "not-lining-up-with-the-rest-of-the-Kamen-Rider-universe" series, lol.
I have since then gone through them all and am now right back where I started with Decade. It's very interesting watching it a second time through, because now I can actually fully appreciate all of the Rider appearances in Decade and I am better able to understand the characters and storylines in Decade (even though they're all AR and have very little, if anything, to do with their respective original series).
I have to say, my favorite series, in order, are Kabuto, Faiz, Hibiki, Agito, and Decade. After Decade I will progress through all the series that came after Decade, until I am fully up to date with Wizard. We're makin progress, yet.

Re: This was my first Kamen Rider.
Decade was my first show too and since then i've always recommended it as a first try series. I agree with taken that it can ruin some twists but i think the pros outweight the cons here. The best part of this is that Decade is kind of an "alternate universe" take. Be it official or not but from when the show aired, that was used to correct all the "inconsistencies". Was so long i watched Decade and it will forever be my Kamen Rider baby.
It was the show that made me start watching Kamen Rider and get into Japanese Toku for real. It's not super great but then WHO IS besides:

Re: This was my first Kamen Rider.
Not my 1st to be honest but the 10th (yes i watched it in order but not completely since i haven't actualy finished kuuga or hibiki yet) I loved the series some parts did really grind my gears like how in the beginning the dream didn't actually happen and then they made a special version of the final episode where they made the dream happen. then the final movie OMG i loved and hated it sooo much. hated that they never used the preview footage for the movie from the final episode, no explaination to why daiki(diend) shot tsukasa(decade) and that in the preview footage narutaki stated he would show decade who he really was and that never even happened (so we still don't know what narutaki actually is). it would have been more epic if they showed what happened directly after the final episode where he uses violent emotion form for the 1st time and kills rider 1 by 1 or in groups in an epic fashion. 1st series was faiz then kabuto then kiva and then kuuga and agito followed by ryuki. my hopes for decade will probably be 3 things, well 2 now since we have proof decade is able to form ride into showa (and probably neo-heisei as well) era riders, 1st is that by the end of neo-heisei era we will get a new decade storyine featuring decade again as the 20th rider series with a story where he encounters riders for the next 10 year generation throughout the series and secondly that decade will be able to use attack ride cards in standard form like he did in violent emotion(hoping we get a video game where we can use violent emotion form)

Re: This was my first Kamen Rider.
Decade was alright. It wasn't one of my favorite shows, but it did have its moments. I believe Decade was the fourth one I watched (OOO, Ryuki, and Kabuto were the first three). I did like it how it introduced us to the different worlds, however; I found the acting in the worlds to be....eh. While watching Decade it got me interested in watching Blade (LOVE that series), Faiz (again Loved it), Hibiki (.....I won't talk about it), and of course Agito, Kuuga, Kiva, and Den-O. The color scheme for Decade threw me off a bit since I wasn't used to seeing a light color (besides yellow, blue, and green in OOO) and was like 'The hell?' Overall, it was decent.
Currently Watching: Ex-Aid, Kyuranger.

Re: This was my first Kamen Rider.
When I was 4-5 Years old I remember I got Black RX VHS same goes to Black ZO and J. Heisei was Kuuga the very first Rider series.
Re: This was my first Kamen Rider.
started my kamen rider series with Decade. After watching the other Heisei series I have got to say that Decade was a complete mess. The plot was a mess and the ending was just confusing. But the one thing I did like was that it started the Kamen Rider crossovers

Re: This was my first Kamen Rider.
I got stacked of VHS of Kamen Rider Black and RX( sadly in Cantonese dubbed).
On 2000 they release kuuga on VHS and VCD.
Not hate Decade, but I got the same feeling. It's totally killed the original Heisei Riders. Despite that he make other Riders proclaimed their "Kamen Rider" titles( Kuuga,Agito,Faiz,Hibiki,Den-O,) I just like how he did crossing other worlds and met up to another Riders. In Blade world doesn't make sense if " Undead" can be " killed" then they are not Undead anymore. Just the mere kaijin.
In Ryuki more confusing. Their battles was for courts trials?
In Faiz, Smart Brain High Schools? Sounds like schools for retarded or mental sickness.
In Agito, The guy name Ashikawa Shouichi ( puns combined by three main Riders Ashihara, + Hikawa + Shouichi this one was creatived since one actor for three Riders. Just don't like his attitude.
In Kabuto much the same as Agito, just still despised the whole story.
It just good to see the original characters like Tsugami Shouichi( in 5 seconds), Kurenai Wataru, Kenzaki Kazuma, Kurenai Otoya, Ibuki, Zanki, Todoroki, Akira and Minami Kotaro. Oh and Den-O crew. The rest AR world are totally shit!

Decade are not like Garo.
But I still hope there is chance that they will do some spin off or cross over with him.

Re: This was my first Kamen Rider.
Yep, Decade was my first full rider series. Come to think about it anyway it wasn't my first experience with riders, no that dubious honor goes to Saban's Masked rider. I'm not afraid to say it, Decade was a much better experience than Masked Rider.
