Just finished this.
It was a really fun ride, my first Kamen Rider since Masked Rider when I was a child. A to Z was fucking good with a real gap in term of action scenes.
My only problem is the end of the serie, I would have preferred that Philip come back in a movie instead of an episode later. I really liked the idea that Joker was the new Kamen Rider at the end, after Skull and W, it was like a true legacy was on the shoulders of Shotaro.
What was your favorite Gaia memory?
A lot of people complain about the ending. I actually really liked it, showed some development and redemption for Wakana's character since you know, she wasn't truly evil the entire time.
Glad you liked it, it's a great series as a starter. Do you intend to watch OOO next?

I think I recognize where that image is from.
Also either Skull or Eternal.
>used to think Kamen Rider W referred to Wizard
>it actually refers to Double
>w is pronounced "double U"
It all makes sense
I liked W a lot when I first saw it, but it's not really my favorite series. I fucking love Shotaro, but it felt like there was no real threat behind any of the villains, apart from maybe Isaka.

Well lucky you then anon. Phillip's actor doesn't do Kamen Rider shit anymore, but Shotaro's does so, if you keep going chronologically, get ready for more Joker in your future

>Do you intend to watch OOO next?
I started to watch W and Ryuki at the same time but after a while I just couldn't stop watching W, so I finished it and I will continue Ryuki now.
I'm planning to replace W by Kabuto (I loved a webm with him fighting under the rain). I was also interested by 555 and Wizard, but the last one don't seems to be well appreciated. Oh, and I want to watch Black and Black RX to see the real thing behind Masked Rider.

Reasons?
>>14265199
I think the reason is his manager. I've never really gotten a more clear answer from people than that.
>>14264547
You're a bit slow, aren't you?
>>14265072
>but Shotaro's does
Well Ren will never stop if he can help it. The guy grew up on Kamen Rider, playing one is something he actively strove for.

Ah, the Den-oh reason
Best secondary or best secondary?
>>14265737
It's close between him and Go "Dad Killed My Friend, He's Gonna Meet His End" Shijima

>Normal Accel form is a plastic piece of shit that looks like it's going to fall apart (but still a nice design)
>Trial is fucking amazing
What the fuck
>>14267665
Normal Accel is in many ways a compromise to Bandai since it crosses off a bunch of check marks on their list (red, racing/vehicle related, transforms).
W still holds up as the best rider series for me so far, really everything else after it has been subpar at best
the characters, episodes and movies were great, I still think they should have left Kirihiko alive and become the Nazca antihero or something, I was really shocked when they offed him so brutally
>>14267665
It helps that his finisher and catchprase are the coolest
>>14267707
Not to be offensive, but it's weird/neat how two people can have opinions that differ so much.
>>14265737
He has one of the best sandalone films, I give you that
>Ryu Terui beats the shit of everyone: The Movie
>>14264108
Ok ill bite. Sauce?
>>14267707
Check out the entries in Masked Rider. I know it's not Kamen Rider, but it's close enough.
>>14267707
Yeah, I actually agree. I think the only one that was as good is Gaim, but Gaim suffered from quite a few problems despite having a good script in broad strokes.
W is probably the first one I've really liked that wasn't Ryuuki.
>>14267707
Personally I like OOO a bit more than W, and Fourze, Drive, and Gaim come close.
