I noticed some folks over in LMAO Pics discussing Gaim so I decided to make a thread to see if any fans would pop up.

[quote=wikipedia]The Kamen Rider Series (仮面ライダーシリーズ Kamen Raidā Shirīzu?, translated as Masked Rider Series) is a metaseries of manga and tokusatsu television programs and films created by manga artist Shotaro Ishinomori. The various Kamen Rider media generally feature a motorcycle-riding superhero with an insect motif who fights supervillains often referred to as kaijin (怪人?). The franchise began in 1971 with the Kamen Rider television series which followed college student Takeshi Hongo and his quest to defeat the world-conquering Shocker organization. Over the years, the popularity of the franchise has grown and the original series has spawned many television and theatrical sequels.[/quote]
For anyone interested in trying to get into Kamen Rider, my personal recommendations for a first show would be Kamen Rider Kabuto, which contains some impressive fight scenes. There's also Kamen Rider W, which is more recent and also considered a strong starting point by most fans. Though your best bet is usually to watch whatever is currently airing so you can enjoy it along with everybody else.
This is my first time making a general so if the op is lacking anything feel free to point it out to me.

Nah but seriously Kamen Rider W was pretty cool, it's the only rider series I've watched completely. I got partially into Black, Kuuga, Kabuto, and OOO but that's about it.
Considering the recent fame in the new series (with the fruits or w/e) I might check it out.
You should. It's only at 3 episodes so far, but it's making a pretty good impression so far. Mostly because it's breaking the trend of two episode story arcs.
