Re: New to Kamen Rider (Please help)
I don't see any reason why you can't start with any series, though perhaps Decade might be best left till you've seen a couple of series. However I do think its a good idea to start at the beginning of a series, especially when a few of them have story lines over 2 episodes like Den-o and W.
However you could just watch a few clips on youtube and see what you might like best. I started with Ryuki but found it a bit boring and I ended clicking on a clip form Kabuto and got hooked on that straight away.

Re: New to Kamen Rider (Please help)
Well, the broadcast order is as follows:
Kuuga
Agito
Ryuki
Faiz/555
Blade
Hibiki
Kabuto
Den-O
Kiva
Decade
W/Double
OOO
Other than Den-O being so immensely popular that it's crossed over with all the riders since, and Decade featuring AU versions of all the previous Rider shows, there's no particular order you should watch them in. I've seen every show from Hibiki forward all the way to completion, as well as 555, and I'm more than halfway through Ryuki and Blade right now, so my recommendations are Ryuki, Blade, Hibiki, Kabuto, Den-O, and W. But feel free to sample them each a bit and figure out which ones you want to watch yourself.

Re: New to Kamen Rider (Please help)
Since Kuuga and Agito are not at TVN and Ryuki and Hibiki are not at all the "norm" I would start with Faiz. Then watch Blade, Kabuto, Den-O, Kiva, Hibiki, Ryuki, Decade, Double, OOO.
If you want to get a feel for KR origins go hunting for KR V3, that series can be found pretty easily. You may even be able to rent it.

Re: New to Kamen Rider (Please help)
You know what the whole reason i never got in to KR was cause i thought it just looked to cheese. ((This being the American stuff.)) But today i started watching KR Ryuki... About the first 20 minutes of the show i was like... "This is dumb." Then Bam he fall through the car, and dark knight came on his bike. Was hooked and could not stop watching. Only thing slowing down was i could not get the ep's DL in time, and food. So i thank you all for the help and will like to same if all the other KR's are like Ryuki... Then a new Rider fan has been born. So any think else i should be on the look out to watch?

Why don't you just watch it on YouTube? It's free and no annoying DL time.Favine wrote:i could not get the ep's DL in time

Re: New to Kamen Rider (Please help)
Kamen Rider W has, for a good reason, been called the best Hesei series yet. It's a bit goofy at the start, but that just helps it along later on.
Avid fan of mixing Riders and Rangers into other things

Re: New to Kamen Rider (Please help)
Youtube. na not for me. I think to have the show so when i'm down with net, our out in the field. I can still watch. i'm about 11 ep away from having the whole show, then i will start on Faiz. But i'll watch a ep on W. man can't believe i waited this long to watch this stuff. but is hard to any thing in the Japanese form if not from online.
Man luck i found this place all started with Sazer X.

Re: New to Kamen Rider (Please help)
I think the general fan consensus is the W a great series that gave Kamen Rider the revival it needed. I think Agito was regarded as the best prior to it, and W ranks just below it.
