Help choosing new series to watch

Post by Primus »

Hi everyone.

I'm rather new to the Kamen Rider world, so I wanted to ask you the following: so far, I'm enjoying Kiva and Den-O, I liked Kabuto, and watched the first 10 episodes of Faiz but it didn't catch me as the other series.

Having this in mind, which Rider series would I enjoy? Is Faiz good beyond those episodes? Wich Rider series do you recommend?

Thanks in advance.

A fair number of people might disagree with me but I say yes, Faiz is good beyond the first 10 episodes.

OK, thanks guys. As I just watched Paradise Lost I think I'm going for Faiz, then Ryuki, Blade and Hibiki.

Thanks again!

Suggestions for a "Kamen Rider Virgin"?

Okay, I'm wanting to check out Kamen Rider but I don't know which one I should watch. I don't want to jump into Decade, it seems like you need to have seen the other series first since it includes them. What would you guys suggest to someone who's only knowledge of Kamen Rider is from Saban's terrible Masked Rider series? I was thinking of starting with Ryuki which, from what I can find out, is the earliest series TVN has subbed (at least from beginning to end).

What does this have to do with the complete KR series? This would more so of an off topic question.

Well I suggest none of them, start of with GranSazers.

I wasn't sure where I should have put this topic. Sorry if I put it in the wrong place, I put it here cause I was interested in watching a completed series.

I didn't start with any of the ones TN subbed, Den-O was actually my second KR series; my first one was and still is being subbed by another group. (Because I do not wish to risk a warning said group will remain nameless, it's one of the Heisei though)

id wait for TVNihons version of Agito (viewed by many as one of the best Heisei series) but thats where i started. Followed by Blade, Faiz (555) and Kabuto. Ive actually found Blade the best of all the ones ive seen, follwed by Kabuto. Faiz was too slow for me and the constantly shifting alligencies just annoyed me (just pick a bloody side and stick to it!). id say Blade but Kabuto is only a couple of years old if you want something more up to date :lol:

If you like a good story, VERY strong character development, go with Agito. [snip]
A rollicking good story, go with Ryuki.

We dont support that method, so please dont bring it up
