Yes they did subtitle it however, you aren't likely to find it since the DVD was licensed and released in the US

http://www.amazon.com/Masked-Rider-Firs ... 384&sr=8-1

The official DVD does have English Subtitles.

I'm curious if Kamen Rider The First is any good and whether its necessary to see that to understand Kamen Rider The Next.

It's very good, and no, I don't think it's necessary since the storys aren't all that connected

Me personally, I find "The First" way better and more enjoyable than "The Next". But like takenoko said, the stories aren't related enough for it to make a difference as to which you watch first.
I’m the one nightmares are afraid of.

Well, I think the Next was worth watching. I think most people were disappointed since The First was so good, and there was a lot of hype that kind of built it up. The action scenes were still pretty good and the characters were likable

I would have preferred to see The First, y'know, first. Frankly, The Next tells you virtually nothing about why these people are who they are; where they got their powers, what Shocker is, why Nigo is all dying. Important stuff like that. I'd be rather curious as to what a person who has no prior knowledge of Kamen Rider would take from it; I filled in the cracks knowing about the original series beforehand, so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. But if I had no knowledge? I might be as confused as I was watching Hakaider.

I still need to see The First, incidentally. One day, I will remember to order it when I'm at Chapters. One day!
