ourgh... Kamen Rider general discussion...
I love Kamen Rider. A friend of mine introduced me to it and got hooked. Kamen Rider Den-O, Wizard, and Gavv is my current fave. Really enjoyed Kuuga, Ryuki, Black, OG Kamen Rider, V3, Fourze, and Agito. I'm glad that it is starting to become available for the West. I hope this includes merch for it too because screw Premium Bandai.
I've been MEANING to get into it for the longest time. It's just that... Well, I don't really know where to start. Get some video reviews? Check out what's it about before diving in? Just looking up the episodes and watching them in order? Uwa! So scary!
... Well, I obviously don't mean the scary part. Hell, anytime I see a gif of them on some chat I go "wow, this is so cool! I should look it up!". Maybe I just haven't really bothered to start doing exactly that, but, where should I watch it, even...?
after i watched shin kamen rider, i went and watched some clips from the first show. thats about the breadth of my kamen rider experience. i liked what i saw! the old fight choreography is really super excellent. i am always way more impressed by action stuff when i know they actually had guys doing it for reals. like i watch him go soaring thru the air and land on the ground and roll thru dirt and then swordfight a bunch of guys all at once and i'm like yeah that's pretty freaking sweet.
crazy to think it was on the air around the same time as 60s batman. could you imagine if that show did action the same way as kamen rider? we'd probably be building statues of adam west in the streets. actually we should be doing that now, anyways
I watched W and had a great time and have been meaning to watch more but haven't gotten around to it.
That's it, I'm gonna do what I should have done a long time ago.
I'm going to beat him to death with this hammer.

For Juliet tilsed (is there a quote feature on this forum?)
You can pretty much start at any series you want as they're all self-contained. If you want some reccs, my personal favorites are Ryuki, Build, Fourze, Gaim, Agito, Saber, and Gavv.
You could also jump in at Zeztz when it starts next month.
As for WHERE to watch it... Well, there is no real legal way to watch it in the west, but you can find torrents on the cat site and there are several streaming sites to watch it on like tokufun and tokuzilla (though, mind the ads.)
I started watching back in 2013 with Gaim, still my favorite season. Loving Gavv, kinda sad it'll be over soon v_v
Don't be sad because it's over, be happy because we'll probably still be getting content for it two-to-three years from now if Revice, Geats, and Gotchard are any indication.
p big fan of Kamen Rider even though im slow as hell watching them, Kuuga probably my most favourite rn and will be for a long time, I was sobbing when I was finishing that show
big fan of butches, not so much butchers
I've been watching a bunch the past couple years. kabuto is my favorite but ryuki is a really close second
