      Would rather re-watch Wizard a 3rd time before Ghost again. Sure Ghost wasn't as bad as the first time through but it still felt like a slog on re-watch for me.

    Honestly, I'd recommend Zero One to anyone just getting into Kamen Rider since its a good enough introduction to the series while being fairly recent. Then Ex Aid since the beginning few episodes do a good job with pacing and establishing people

      Hey quick question:
      Are most of the Kamen Rider series in the same universe? I’ve been looking into the series, and read that at the end of Decade, they were combined into a single universe. Is that still cannon, and if so what shows post Decade are set in it? Also, what happened to the alternate worlds in Decade? Did they combine into the main Universe as well, or are they still their own Universes?
      Please keep in mind that I haven’t seen any Kamen Rider yet(though I plan on watching Kamen Rider J soon) but I mind being spoiled.

      @@gomora1270 Most seasons are stand alone save for some cross overs but usually they rule that as dimensional anomalies. So even if that Decade ending were cannon, it was never mentioned again. So feel free to start wherever you want ^^

      Do you seriously recommend ZERO ONE to everyone? Oh, my God... This season is a complete disappointment in terms of plot and character motivation. Especially Sauser and Valkyrie, who change their motivations at the click of a finger and as if nothing happened. The actions of the characters are absolutely made for a tick and do not affect the plot in any way. Well, Horobi's motivation to kill humanity is the stupidest. And Yes, the plot was written by Yuya Takahashi, who wrote the wretched Ex-Aid. By destroying your Canon and so on. I'm really wondering why you didn't recommend Kuuga or Faiz and Blade. Most episodes this season are full fillers and recaps

    One of my favorite things about Kamen Rider is that it’s easy to find fans of every season. I personally have found even in seasons where the writing or pacing may not be the best, there is still an admirable amount of passion behind it to keep me invested. Very glad I found this franchise.
    Also the suits are just so darn cool.

    I watched Kamen Rider Build as my first season and it was great!
    I think the characters will really appeal to anyone coming from an anime background, the editing is also really energetic and keeps up with the cartoony comedy style the writing has on the more casual moments
    It's also a really dark season! It has elements of both Hesei phase 1 and 2. The actors do a really great job of conveying the weight of the dramatic scenes.
    Also, it's CHOCK FULL of different suits! That was my favorite part, I think. I love W, but I was a bit sad to find out it had only a handful of different forms and powers. Build has many different power combinations, usually of an organic object and an inorganic object, so you're sure to have a favorite one. Mine is Pirate/Train! My boyfriend's is RabbitRabbit :B

      The original kamen rider Amazon already has three contrasting manga adaptations, one by Ishinomori (as the writer) and Morihiko Ishikawa (as the artist of Sherlock Holmes manga fame) that is played for body horror but unluckily incomplete (to this day) thanks to Toei’s then agitating push to make the Kamen Rider Stronger show, the more comedic but still incomplete one by Tsuchiyama and the more complete one by Mitsuru Sugaya of Game Center Arashi fame, which is played for dark comedy like its Toku counterpart.

    Heya newcomers! At the end of the video, we were asked to give some recommendations. Heres my piece on the matter
    Id most likely recommend
    1) Kamen rider Gaim: an excellent season with some genuinely amazing characters, it looks a little silly but trust me, things get serious quick
    2) Kamen rider Zero-one: the first series of Reiwa brings alot to the table. Love-able characters, awesome suits, a great story, and some real heartfelt moments
    3) Kamen rider Decade: Not my style personally but it is a beloved series in the fandom. With an amazing lead character, genuinely funny moments and an interesting story, this series is s good watch
    4) Lastly I would recommend Kamen rider Build: This series made me laugh, cry and had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. This series features an amazing cast of characters, a fantastic plot, some of the coolest suits in rider, and an amazing soundtrack. This series is a must watch!

    If your starting with W, I'd recommend to try Drive as a go around. Its structured the same as W but it has its own personality to it and you could never really hate many of the characters in it except for the true villain. The only bad thing about Drive was that it was overshadowed by its predecessor, Gaim. Other than that, try it. You'll love everybody there except for one.

    *People from 5 years into the future* : "Why can't you recommend any more Reiwa series? Huh? What's wrong with Reiwa?" lol
    My favorite series are always going to be Wizard and Decade. I started Kamen Rider with watching Wizard, and went on from there. With Decade, I found myself relating to Decade himself a whole lot. I know it's not the most accurate since he goes to A.R Worlds, but I still love it.

    Tbh, My favorite KR series is Kamen Rider Den-O because its just light-hearted and has comedy that I can't forget with, Including the main character (Ryotaro). Even has a little hint of sadness om it, It's still pretty lit so that is my suggestion for it

  • @ClumpyWoods
    @ClumpyWoods Před rokem +1

    I'd recommend Build and Ex-Aid (2017 and 2016 respectively) off the bat, they are both amazing, have great plots with theory potential all over the place, and amazing casts you can really get into. they're both pretty dark, but once you get into them, there is no going out until the final episode, in a good way.
    The latest season, Geats (2022) is also well worth watching, we're only 13 episodes in as of writing and it has been awesome. It is based off of fortnite, but it brings so much more than that, and there's so much mystery left to unravel with it.

    @hkpika9730 Před rokem +3

    I would recommend Kamen Rider Ex Aid! I may be bias as it’s my first kamen rider but it has an amazing story with great characters and a great villain. The villain is so wacky and a very “love to hate him” vibe. The four main doctors grow and learn to trust and rely on each other throughout the season and thus offers a ton of both funny and heartwarming moments. Plus how can you go wrong with a medical drama centered around video games? It’s wacky, heartfelt, and has great action scenes. Also the suits are fucking epic.

  • @Azem4144
    @Azem4144 Před 4 lety +6

    I'd personally recommend Den-O because of its comedy.
    Kabuto, because of the protagonist being cool. Fun fact, Kabuto was the most popular series because of the Rider's design too. From my perspective, it was the most popular before Heisei 2 came in.
    BLACK and BLACK RX. The protagonist is the same person.
    And my own current personal number 1 recommendation is: Kamen Rider Build.
    I just like the story, and the partnership between the protagonist and the partner. There are some comedy too.

  • @donkeykongsfootlongdong4785

    I’ve finished Build, Ryuki and now I’m on 555. All of them have been super enjoyable so far. I loved Build the most because it had the most heart to me and the coolest rider and secondary rider designs. Also love the jingle RABBIT TANK BEST MATCH

I tried to get into Ichigo years ago, but despite how much I loved the acting and camp I eventually moved away from it, but Heisei era Kamen Rider is really knocking it out of the park for me, and it makes me excited to get into the other Kamen Rider seasons as I go on!

  • @epiclinksam9805
    @epiclinksam9805 Před 4 lety +2

    My recommendations based on eras:
    -For Showa, Kamen Rider Black, since it's one of the latest Showa Seasons, and is well loved.
    -For Heisei Phase 1, Kamen Rider Den-O. A well rounded season that's quite fun.
    -For Heisei Phase 2, Kamen Rider Double. My personal favorite Season in the franchise. It's very well rounded, with tons of cool action, powers that aren't too confusing, lovable characters and fantastic writing.
    -For Reiwa, Zero-One... because that's the only option at the moment. Still a good season though.
    For other recommendations on more unique cases:
    -If you're a fan of anime, try Kamen Rider Fourze. The head writer of the show is also responsible for some of Studio Trigger's greatest works such as Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill and Promare.
    -If you're a video game fan, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid is a good spot. You'll love the amount of references the show has. If you also happen to like doctor dramas, that's an extra bonus.
    -If you're someone who likes series that are much darker, but fairly recent, Kamen Rider Build is a fantastic choice. It has a much more mature tone, but still has all that classic Kamen Rider love.
    -If you're a risk taker, try Kamen Rider Ghost. It's not well-liked by most fans. I went in with low expectations, but personally, I enjoyed it.
    -If you're someone that likes interacting with the fanbase, Kamen Rider Saber will start airing soon after this comment. You can start watching it and talk with others.

    I started my Kamen Rider journey a few months back, currently I've watched about half of the original, Black, Kuuga, about half of RX and I'm keeping up with Revice as it airs. I've been bouncing around the franchise history
    So far my personal favorite is Kuuga, I love the character relations and touches of Drama mixed in, helps to ground things a little and makes it feel like one long adventure as oppose to the more episodic nature of the Showa era.
    Black also has a very good story, the connection between Black and Shadow Moon adds a tragic element, and on a personal note, Black is my favorite Kamen Rider design currently
    The original is just plain fun, each episode is like a 20 minute B-movie with rubber suited monsters and the evil Shocker organization, I highly recommend checking out at least a bit of it

  • @OmegaChase1002
    @OmegaChase1002 Před 3 lety +1

    "You could start anywhere without watching anything prior."
    I watched showa episode 1 season 1, but then I later actually started with Double, and when i got to one the movies i was lost and confused through half of it because I didn't watch Decade first.
    Be weary of the movies, everyone. Especially the canon ones. Ya may need to look up between which episodes a movie takes place. Oh boy...
    Then I went back and finished showa season 1, and I loved it.
    That said, I personally reccomend Ichigo, Kuuga, Double, OOO, Zero-One, or Saber.

    okay so let me tell you about kamen
    00:03
    rider
    00:04
    with this franchise being nearly 50
    00:06
    years old alongside having over 30
    00:08
    seasons plus
    00:09
    movies specials and crossovers it may
    00:12
    seem overwhelming at first but that's
    00:13
    what this video is for
    00:15
    starting with the basics there are three
    00:17
    arrows of kamen rider
    00:18
    the showa era from 1971's kamen rider
    00:22
    also referred to as ichigo
    00:23
    to the theatrical kamen rider j the
    00:26
    heisei era
    00:28
    from 2000's kamen rider kuga to 2019's
    00:31
    kamen rider geo
    00:32
    and the rewa era from 2019's kamen rider
    00:36
    zero 1
    00:36
    onward aside from being easily
    00:39
    organizable
    00:40
    each era has its own style that can
    00:41
    appeal to anyone
    00:43
    but where do you start each season is
    00:45
    standalone for the most part so you can
    00:47
    really begin anywhere
    00:48
    kamen riders do appear a lot more
    00:50
    together during a showa era season
    00:52
    while the heisei era has crossovers
    00:54
    during movies but again
    00:56
    you can basically start anywhere without
    00:58
    worrying about watching anything prior
    01:00
    now what to watch specifically the
    01:02
    absolute main
    01:04
    number one thing i always recommend is
    01:07
    whatever looks cool to you did you grow
    01:10
    up with older monster movies and enjoy
    01:12
    the classic feel of the showa era
    01:14
    do you like a more modern look with the
    01:16
    rewa era maybe you like the drama of
    01:18
    early heisei
    01:19
    or the visual style of heisei's later
    01:21
    half does a particular suit stand out to
    01:24
    you
    01:24
    what about the motif have you ever come
    01:27
    across a cool clip and wanted to watch
    01:29
    where it came from
    01:30
    honestly whatever interest and appeals
    01:32
    to you is an easy start
    01:34
    especially since i think any season can
    01:36
    appeal to generally anyone
    01:38
    every season has a great cast wonderful
    01:40
    stories to be invested in
    01:42
    and of course fantastic action i'd
    01:45
    advise against avoiding seasons just
    01:47
    because someone else didn't like it
    01:50
    who knows maybe it could become your
    01:51
    favorite everyone has their own opinion
    01:54
    so please enjoy what you want although
    01:57
    if you're still stuck on what to watch
    01:59
    then here are a few seasons i can
    02:00
    recommend
    02:01
    kamen rider double o's and fours they
    02:03
    are the first three seasons of what's
    02:05
    known as heisei phase 2
    02:06
    or neo-heisei they're the easiest to get
    02:09
    into since they're episodic while having
    02:11
    overarching mysteries that keep you
    02:13
    saying
    02:14
    just one more episode you might be
    02:17
    interested in doubles detective stories
    02:18
    that has two people become one kamen
    02:20
    writer
    02:21
    or the story of a wanderer who teams up
    02:23
    with the monster to fight the
    02:25
    manifestation of human desires and kamen
    02:27
    rider o's
    02:28
    or a high schooler who juggles class and
    02:30
    making friends with absolutely everyone
    02:32
    while fighting monsters along the way
    02:34
    with kamen rider fourze
    02:36
    there's a lot to love with these three
    02:38
    especially their cast and their
    02:40
    heartfelt journeys
    02:41
    having cool suits helps too earlier when
    02:44
    i said that
    02:44
    each era has their own style that can
    02:46
    also apply to the heisei era's early and
    02:49
    later halves
    02:50
    often referred to as heisei phase 1 and
    02:52
    phase 2.
    02:53
    early heisei has more of a dramatic and
    02:56
    serious tone compared to the later half
    02:58
    but that's not to say phase 2 can't be
    03:00
    serious either
    03:01
    kamen rider kuuga might be the closest
    03:03
    to a j drama as it follows a lone writer
    03:05
    fighting human-like monsters that are
    03:07
    trying to play
    03:08
    deadly games it's a slower paced season
    03:10
    but those quieter moments make you enjoy
    03:12
    the little things
    03:13
    like a thumbs up from our hero another
    03:16
    easy recommendation is kamen rider den o
    03:19
    where an accident prone young man is
    03:20
    thrust into a time traveling train as he
    03:22
    makes friends with monsters
    03:24
    while going through touching moments
    03:25
    that i haven't experienced anywhere else
    03:28
    of course i'm not going over every
    03:30
    single season
    03:31
    these five are just the easiest i can
    03:33
    recommend to you for heisei
    03:35
    as for rawa then the next thing i can
    03:37
    say is to watch any current season
    03:41
    yeah that's it showa era is just a fun
    03:44
    time
    03:44
    ichigo's cheesy yet sincere
    03:46
    episodic-ness is great
    03:48
    kamen rider stronger has some classic
    03:50
    action kamen rider black and black rx
    03:52
    are well regarded by having great
    03:54
    stories to follow
    03:55
    komen rider 0 is a movie you can just
    03:57
    sit down and enjoy with touching
    03:59
    characters
    04:00
    these may be older than some are used to
    04:02
    but they shouldn't be skipped
    04:04
    or at the very least appreciate how far
    04:06
    we've come with the franchise
    04:08
    oh yeah there are a few outliers i want
    04:11
    to bring up as you continue your writer
    04:13
    journey there was an american adaptation
    04:15
    of kamen rider ryuky called kamen rider
    04:17
    dragon knight
    04:18
    i personally really loved it since it
    04:20
    still feels like a kamen rider season
    04:22
    with great characters story certain
    04:24
    tropes and action
    04:26
    just with english actors it's very
    04:28
    unique especially compared to its
    04:30
    japanese counterpart
    04:32
    and there is another american adaptation
    04:35
    called saban's masked rider
    04:38
    we don't talk about that one the last
    04:41
    time i want to bring
    04:42
    up our anniversary seasons komen rider
    04:44
    decade and konrider geo for heisei phase
    04:46
    1 and 2 respectively
    04:48
    i did say you can start anywhere while
    04:50
    these aren't
    04:51
    major exceptions you should take these
    04:53
    with caution anyway
    04:55
    mostly with konrider geo decade has a
    04:58
    couple cameos from previous writers
    05:00
    but he travels through alternate
    05:01
    versions of past rider season so in a
    05:03
    way
    05:04
    it's like a small taste of them on the
    05:06
    other hand
    05:07
    jio has cameos galore and brings up a
    05:10
    lot of past events
    05:12
    some of which kind of expect you to know
    05:15
    again you can watch these anniversary
    05:18
    seasons
    05:19
    just be wary of them with all that being
    05:21
    said
    05:22
    there is so much i didn't bring up since
    05:24
    these are my personal recommendations
    05:26
    you can start your khan writer journey
    05:28
    anywhere you like and i think you'll
    05:30
    enjoy this karate bug man series
    05:32
    if there's anything you're interested in
    05:34
    then let me know and to those who are
    05:36
    already fans then talk about your
    05:38
    recommendations too
    05:39
    just remember to be inclusive and don't
    05:42
    tell anyone to avoid any certain season
    05:45
    see you next time

    My first rider show was OOO, it was still airing. I remember marathoning it until TaJaDor's debut, then I needed to wait a week from then on. I would highly recommend W to most people due to it being modern enough that the early Heisei jank isn't there, plus it's just a great show overall. I think that it's an easier sell....even with Akiko.

    I actually feel decade is a great place to start for early heisei. It gives you a little taste of the earlier riders so you can decide where you wanna go next, and it’s shorter than most/all regular seasons, so you get through it at a good pace.

    Faiz : Buckload of drama, but I LOVE IT~ My top 5 fav
    Blade : TACHIBANA-SAN!!!
    Hibiki : Highschool Musical done wrong, messy from the start, bearable until the middle part, but toward the end is even messier(I mean... From Metal Hero to Kamen Rider? And change all of the staffs in the middle of the show & ended up creating more continuity fvcked ups? My top 3 worst Heisei Rider)
    Kabuto : Good drama, memorable casts, cool concept. Obaa-chan ga itteita
    Den-O : Super Family Friendly Kamen Rider, TOEI's golden child
    Kiva : 1 of the most complicated in term of story... I mean, 2 timelines, no wonder Japanese fans are not into this & put this as 1 of the worst(For me, not the worst. There are 4 that are WAY worse than Kiva)
    Decade : ONORE DIKEIDOOOOO!!!!! It is fun to watch because of Tsukasa, but definitely Anniversary Season Done Wrong because of the "Alternate Rider". On top of that, the ending... Wait, what ending? Welp, my top 3 worst
    W : Detective drama, blend with nice humor & cool action, my top 5 fav
    OOO : A great follow-up after W, nice story too, also Mezool

  • @grenadine_0976
    @grenadine_0976 Před 4 lety +9

    To me honestly I chose the shows that either had a great suit or cool concept. Cause for me, the first series that I’ve seen and still enjoy is kiva.
    Kiva follows a shut-in with a strange,unexplored past that he tries to find due to recently seeing he is human. This is taboo, as he has the powered materials of the being kiva, a powerful suit given to the king of Fangires; which are essentially family friendly vampires. This also follows the main characters father and the events of led up to the present day, and how there connected. A lot of people don’t necessarily like this one, as it has its problems and is a required taste. But I’d say give it a chance as it has some great emotional moments and some very funny yet slapstick humor at some points.
    How about some cards with Blade? This follows the story of two riders known as Blade and Garren, who are sent to seal undead warriors of a forgotten time in order to gain there abilities. While this is happening, there is also a lone rider known as chalice and as the show goes on; we soon learn about truth around him and the significance behind the broken seal on the deck in the first place. It’s slow at first, but It has some very significant action and scenes that I would say is some of the best in kamen rider. With some story events that makes both the characters and the audience ask was it worth it in the first place.
    Now how about a movie? Sure you may not be a fan of showa but I would still recommend ZX. It’s essentially a legacy movie telling the tale of the 10th kamen rider and his fight against typical Showa villains. I always debate in my mind if I like or dislike this movie but I always enjoy watching through it and enjoying the main character Ryo Murasame being one of my favorites in the first place.

  • @archangel5627
    @archangel5627 Před rokem

    Now I’ve always known about Kamen Rider, at least I recognize the character when I see him but other than that I didn’t know much about him or any of the shows. Interestingly enough my first real taste of Kamen Rider was recently when I sat down and watched a few episodes of Zero One. I was immediately impressed with the overall presentation and the fast paced nature of the show. With that being said, I decided to go all the way back and watch the first episode of the original 1971 tv show and I have to say that I loved it. Considering it was the first entry in this ever expanding long running series, I had no idea the original show was as dark and serious as it was. Coming from just watching Zero One, the first Kamen Rider show is surprisingly adult in its theme and tone. I also really enjoyed the campy over the top villains and the general storyline. So far the first 10 episodes are absolutely fantastic for a show that’s 52 years old. I can honestly say I’m an official Kamen Rider fan and I look forward to seeing the new remake film Shin Kamen Rider and all the other tv shows and movies in the franchise. Thank you for uploading this video and your explanation on the different eras of Kamen Rider. Take care and I also look forward to seeing another one of your videos. Cheers!

  • @jayjin5530
    @jayjin5530 Před 4 lety +4

    I always reccomend people Kamen Rider Build. Why? Because it's a great show, the show that got me into Rider, and it's as if you took every good aspect of past shows and built them into a amazing show that's an emotional rollercoaster. After that I reccomend 3 other shows that they could go down the path of, kind of like a branch. If you liked the first arc where they were exploring the mystery of Sento's past, I would reccomend W since it's a mystery show and also has a half and half theme and shares many aspects as Build. If they liked the fun cast and funny moments, Kamen Rider Den-O and Kamen Rider Fourze are some of the most fun Kamen Rider shows with loveable casts but also some extremely heart felt moments and a lot of tear jerkers. If they loved seeing Kazumin simping over Miitan or actually didn't like Build's style and want a more drama centered series, they should go for Kamen Rider Faiz and Kiva, both of which are centered around love, with characters gaining feelings for others, Faiz being carried by it's amazing high tension character interactions that carry the show's plot and Kiva with it's cool 2 timeline story.

  • @naufal261
    @naufal261 Před 3 lety +2

    I'd say W, OOO, and Fourze (in that order) is a great season to start. Since these three season are really easy to get in to, the characters are really charming, and I out of all Heisei season, those three season is probably the most connected (and I personally think the movie + the cross over movie of these three season is up there being the best movie in Kamen Rider)

    @kidridgedLP Před 3 lety +1

    My Introduction to Kamen Rider was Dragon Knight back when it aired on the CW4kids. I remember when it finished I went and looked up Kamen Rider and found Decade so I started there for the Japanese series. It got me interested in other seasons mostly Kiva, and Den-O. I honestly agree with the go what looks cool mentality. Because of that I tried Kiva before seeing any other opinions on it and loved it. But if I had to give my own opinion on what series to try first. Either OOOs, W, Frouze, or Den-O. I feel those are the most fun seasons with the right amount of drama to go with their fun. To be fair I have only really gotten to see a hand full of riders since it's been hard to find out how to watch the other ones after Wizard for me. I'm just now getting a chance to see Kuuga.

(as in, you've heard of the series in general and wanna check it out) It's awesome watching the shows change from season to season, era to era. That said: Watch Black if you want a great, moody "monster of the week". Watch Kuuga for a fucking classic solid Kamen Rider series. For something dramatic watch Ryuki or Blade. And for something light and sweet I would recommend Hibiki (but only the first 30)

    I've loved Kamen RIder from the first five minutes I saw my first season, Decade. Me personally though, I always love to recommend Double. Its episodic while still having an over arching story, as you said the characters are all fun and memorable, and the music just rocks so much! (oh yeah, the action is pretty good too I guess lol)

    I would argue that there are four Kamen Rider eras; Showa, Heisei, Neo Heisei, and Reiwa. Neo Heisei started with W and marked the start of the practice of being mainly focused on the fight between good and evil, and not being primarily focused on the side drama of unrelated characters. There is some drama of unrelated characters in the Neo Heisei era. But not to the extent that there was before the start of W.

    I started with Den-O and I would eagerly recommend it to anyone starting out because, as I learned after I started, it's very popular and its cast regularly appears in new movies. Also, if you're coming from super sentai or power rangers, it's a good transition from those sorts of shows.

    If there's any gamer fans out there I recommend Kamen Rider ex-aid.

    My entire knowledge of Kamen Rider is seeing the Masked Rider on Power Rangers and seeing a trailer for Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight once.
    I definitely needed to be educated, so was glad to see a video like this.

    I grew up watching mainly Showa and some early Heisei era Kamen Riders and mainly due to my parents. Like I always remember going to the markets in Thailand when I went during the summer to buy various disc sets of Kamen Rider
