I am doing a guide chart based in the Gundam one. If anyone have any suggestions to make it look better. please tell me or do it yourself and post it. I did this in paint and took me a lot of time.
Now we need to write the Pros and Cons of every seasons. Lets do it in batches of 3, starting with 1971, V3 and X. Anyone watched those series? What are some good and bad things about them? would you recommend them?

It's All Fucked Shirt $22.14 |
First is awesome, the next two were pretty lazy in the writing department, difference is V3 had a cool second rider and X had a better final battle.
Thanks for the input! Now lets move towards the next 3 series. Amazon, Stronger and 1979 (Skyrider).
Please tell me what you all thought about this series. Also if you disagree with something already in the chart you can write your opinion and maybe I can edit some things later.
only seen Amazon but
pros:
-actually changes up the formula
-wildman protagonist is fun
-crazy fights in the first half
-pretty good kaijin designs in the first half
-short
cons:
-short
-second half fights feel more like old rider
-second half kaijin and villain are lame
Awesome, let's continue.
>Amazon
>Pros
-Has a unique premise that makes it stand out in the franchise.
-Has the fewest episodes of any mainline kamen rider series, meaning you can finish it quickly.
-The finishers are rather gory for its time.
>Cons
-Main character is very annoying.
-Side characters and villain factions are boring.
-Premise loses its appeal after the first episodes.
-Despite it's short length, it's still repetitive .
>Stronger
>Pros
-Extremely charismatic protagonist.
-Great villain duo in Titan and General Shadow.
-Fun cheesy action.
>Cons
-Terrible female heroine.
-Show loses its charm in the second half.
-Good villains are sidelined for lame ones
>Skyrider
>Pros
-Good start and neat teamups with previous riders
-Main character can be charming, if a bit generic
>Cons
-Tried to reinvent the main series but just did a worse job than the original
-Side characters are annoying
-The character's main gimmick of flight is unimpressive
>-Good villains are sidelined for lame ones
FYI this specifically happens by the final stretch of the show
>bright red background with white text
Jesus christ anon it's eye searing.
For Super-1
Pros
>some cool fight scenes
>focus on martial arts
Cons
>forgettable characters
>second half is god awful
ZX
>Pro: cute Showa fanservice
>Con: It's just a short movie
Black
>Pro: Awesome story, awesome hero, awesome villains and solid drama
>Con: Still has some forgettable MOTW stories and can be repetitive, like all other Showa series
Black RX
>Pro: Awesome hero and funny villains
>Con: Annoying side characters and the endgame is stupid
I think this is a good description of the original

>The show also goes through very long-form 'arcs' like Hongo - Hayato - teamup - Hongo again with a revolving cast of villains, racing club bimbos and surprisingly resilient Japanese children.
Would you consider those as bad things or good?
Fixed it, thanks
Yeah, but maybe will help some people in what watch first. Also it is kinda fun (but time consuming)
not that anon but the bimbos aren’t necessarily “bad” just more confusing and indicative of the general cast problem outside of tachibana and taki
Just to point out OP, you put Stronger as Amazon
>71
pros:
-legendary first 10 or so episodes
-great lead for a lot of it
-fun action
cons:
-lead changes eventually, hayato never feels like he’s given the same chance to shine
-long as frick, can get repetitive
-asinine side cast
>v3
pros:
-more of ‘71
-great kaijin designs
-(in my opinion) better fight scenes
cons:
-more of ‘71
-still has asinine side characters
>I am doing a guide chart
when will these morons fricking die
When your mom and dad died, moron.
>based in the Gundam one
I don't mean to criticize your chart, but most of the community agrees that Gundam was shit full of subjective opinions with the only worthwhile helpful pary for newcomers being the side column explaining UC and it's main continuity. Also, know that edited charts will be made with meme opinions and wrong facts, and there will be anons swearing those are the real ones. Otherwise, have fun.
>71
>pros
Cheesy fun with some experimental filming techniques for the time.
MOTW format is fun and the villain organization is iconic.
Occasionally has some cool drama.
Cool endgame arc.
The main heroes are likable and endearing.
>cons
Way too fricking long and repetitive.
Besides the leads, the characters are pretty flat and any semblance of good story is lost the longer the show goes on.
>V3
>pros
Solid start and end to the show
Technically has more going on in terms of plot and character than the 71 series.
Riderman is a great character and his story is worth seeing the show for.
>negatives
Villain organization is fricking boring.
Main lead lacks charisma and isn't as memorable as his previous counterparts.
Mostly repeats stuff from the previous show but not as good.
>X
>pros
Fantastic start with an actual emotional arc the character goes through.
Villains are stupid in the best way possible, this is the show that has Starfish Hitler as an actual villain.
Apollo Geist is a great villain.
>cons
The plot stops being any good after the first 15 episodes and becomes utter crap.
Side characters are completely forgettable.
Action doesn't stand out much.
Show becomes a "search for the mcguffin" plot and it drags on.
Main character becomes boring after his initial emotional arc is over.
OP here. Do you find this chart better? Maybe we can update this one. Or even add more things in here
This specific chart seems to describe the main heroes rather than the shows they come from. Those can be two different things.
Maybe I will make the two. /m/ will choose what to use when needed.
or people could just watch the goddamn kung fu bugman shows and think for themselves?
Just simplify it
>Now we need to write the Pros and Cons of every seasons.
Why? That's the worst feature of Duel's shitty Gundam chart, and people aren't going to agree on anything.
is this "duel" in the room with us right now
?
>pros and cons
It's bullshit, just write plot synopsis instead, like here
Bumo
I'll try to write some out for the series I've seen when I get the chance. Easy start:
Ghost
Pros
-Some good suit designs
Cons
-Everything else
