my favourite kamen rider series !
- I'm currently editing this -
I'll share my opinion here too, or most of it as the list only offers a 2000 characters max.
My ratings might seem too high even though I criticise some shows a lot, but I honestly always find a way to enjoy any Kamen Rider series so.... :')

This was my second Kamen Rider series and I'll probably remember this experience forever.
The plot started strongly and was solid in a great part the series. The pace in the first 3/4 of the story was perfect. The main lead had a mysterious past and the journey to discover what happened to him was one of the more important events that made this series the opposite of a snoozefest. There were also more important characters who were given a fair amount of screentime and development through this story. While I thought this might make the story messier, it was completely the opposite. In fact, they made the experience even more amusing. Shouichi and Hikawa were such an amazing and funny duo and I honestly loved their interactions a lot.
I was still a newbie in the tokusatsu genre, but this series made me discover how much I enjoyed watching it, I'll give them that. I'm biased towards Agito and this is why I may have given it a higher rating than it actually deserves because I actually really disliked the last episodes of the show.
The perfect pace I had mentioned disappeared and it became so rushed that I even wondered if this was the same show I'd been watching those days. They wasted lots of episodes, which ended up becoming unnecessary because they didn't contribute a thing in any character or story development and in the end, the writer probably got stressed when he knew he had to finish this in less than 2 episodes.
Nevertheless, I believe this was an entertaining ride. I found the story more complicated than the previous series, Kamen Rider Kuuga. So I'd guess that if anyone has enjoyed Kuuga, they may like this series too.

I watched this after I almost completed all the Heisei seasons aside from Kabuto and Hibiki, so I expected to be quite interested in this one since I heard that it touched every Heisei Kamen Rider world. Yeah, the disappointment was big.
The fact that they used alternative worlds contributed, I admit it. However, it was not my main problem with these series. The story was a literal mess. The fact that most of the stories were not entertaining enough and I found myself bored and almost spacing out in most of the episodes... what a disaster.
However, sometimes, it was an entertaining one. The worlds I genuinely enjoyed were the Den-o, Shinkenger, Ryuki and Blade ones (though I thought the blade one wasn't that good). I also liked the last two episodes. So that makes 10 out of 31 episodes that were entertaining :)Well, I could rant all day about how boring this season was if not because the main rider literally SAVED it. I loved Tsukasa so much, I swear Masahiro did such a great job through all this mess omg, I loved the way he acted and everything, he just wasn't a typical kind young man and I loved this actor's comedy timing. That made my 4 rating go to a 6'5, so that says it all.
Finally, funnily enough, I really enjoyed the Decade movies a lot *runs away*. Thank god Tsukasa would appear in more movies from also other seasons, so I'll just decide to forget whatever the fuck happened here.
