It went off the rails after the first series.
...actually, during the first series, like eleven episodes in, when the main guy shattered both legs or something.

I don't know what you mean by off the rails but the first series is probably one of the worst series out of all of Kamen Rider. People only like it because of nostalgia.

I keep starting Kamens and forgetting to finish them. That Battle Royale series looked fun.

I love Kamen Rider probably harder than anyone else on this site and Ryuki is the first series I watched in full.

Definitely getting this. I hope they release Fourze because I still haven't watched it.

There's two of them now. The current series Geats is like Fortnite mixed with Squid Game and it's sooo good.

I actually kind of wish they would not do it in random order. I don't know if it's a licensing thing but I mean they released Kuuga it's kind of weird they didn't release Agito after it.

Also even though it's not pre-orderable they announced a while back that Black was coming out next year as well

I imagine they're going based off popularity and recognizability. Kuuga is, well, Kuuga and Ryuki is the only Heisei series with an American adaptation so it makes sense. Kabuto might end up being next.

I actually don't know what series are more recognized or popular in the west. I do know that Den-O is absurdly popular in Japan for no fucking reason and that Zero One is considered middle ground. Zero One already has a western release.

That's debatable keep in mind that watching newer stuff first will actually make it really difficult to watch older stuff

Honestly...any continuity between the series is very, very loose at best so you can really jump in at any point and choose based on whichever series looks/sounds appealing to you. My personal recommendations:

Gaim - Rival dance crews battle for clout using weapons (based off of fruit) developed by a shady corporation. The whole thing eventually unravels into something much bigger. This one was written by the creator of Puella Madoka Magica so that should tell you what time we're on.

Build - An AU Japan that got split into 3 warring regions due to an alien artifact from Mars. Main protagonists are an insomniac, eccentric genius and a boxer who escaped from prison. Has strong themes about politics and war and the cast is very likable.

Ex-Aid - Doctors fight a deadly virus using video games. Yes, literally. But it has one of the most memorable casts in Kamen Rider history and it's just so off-the-wall ridiculous that it turns around into being awesome.

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll take a look.

Oh, I'll also recommend W as it's a good starting point into the franchise. It's the most "classic" feeling Kamen Rider series while still feeling modern.

Two guys (a detective and a literal human encyclopedia) combine to form Kamen Rider W and they fight a family-run criminal organization that distributes usbs that people use to turn into monsters (they're basically an allegory for drugs). Has a distinct and deliberate crime noir/detective feel to it.
