Kamen Rider: Ranked
-
1. Kamen Rider Black Sun
Japanese Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
A great homage to the original and a incredible remake. The story is very mature and knows how to handle it's themes, delivering one of the most political stories in the franchise with a powerful Rider Kick.

2. Kamen Rider Agito
Japanese Drama - 2001, 51 episodes
-
3. Kamen Rider Drive
Japanese Drama - 2014, 48 episodes
-
4. Kamen Rider Blade
Japanese Drama - 2004, 49 episodes
-
5. Kamen Rider Kuuga
Japanese Drama - 2000, 49 episodes
CHO HENSHIN!
The perfect Rider show. Godai is such an endearing character and the show has a great atmosphere. It's a nice blend between showa Rider and heisei Rider, with the best aspects of both. -
6. Kamen Rider 555
Japanese Drama - 2003, 50 episodes
Man, this show knows how to mess with your emotions.
It's a bit too soap opera, but the cast is really good and will make you both cheer and hate certain characters.
-
7. Kamen Rider W
Japanese Drama - 2009, 49 episodes
My entry point in the series.
The cast is endearing to a point where even the villains are compelling and entertaining.
-
8. Kamen Rider Ryuki
Japanese Drama - 2002, 50 episodes
This is was a huge surprise for me as I had low expectations with this show. The characters start somewhat annoying but they grow a lot on you by the end. Also this might be one of my favorite endings to a Kamen Rider show
-
9. Kamen Rider Build
Japanese Drama - 2017, 49 episodes
The story is really great, but the humour is hit or miss.
-
10. Kamen Rider OOO
Japanese Drama - 2010, 48 episodes
-
11. Kamen Rider Den-O
Japanese Drama - 2007, 49 episodes
Very funny series with a great cast of characters.
Unfortunately the ending is not that great, much stuff is left unanswered and it gets confusing at times.
-
12. Kamen Rider Geats
Japanese Drama - 2022, 49 episodes
-
13. Kamen Rider Revice
Japanese Drama - 2021, 50 episodes
It was fun. Ikki and Vice are a great duo, Daiji is kinda annoying but Kagerou is cool. The highlight of this season is definitely Sakura and Aguillera, they stole this season for me. The gayest season by far.
-
14. Kamen Rider ZO
Japanese Movie - 1993
It's a very simple entry into the series, compressing all the things that made Kamen Rider into one single episode. It's compelling enough to be entertaining and the production values are great. Not a big fan of the suit myself, but the Kaijin designs were awesome.
-
15. Kamen Rider Zero-One
Japanese Drama - 2019, 45 episodes
Great themes and great suit designs, but by the end the story kinda lost me.
-
16. Kamen Rider Ex-Aid
Japanese Drama - 2016, 45 episodes
-
17. Kamen Rider Amazons
Japanese Drama - 2016, 13 episodes
This is just Tokyo Ghoul. Kinda boring at times, but it has some good production values.
-
18. Kamen Rider
Japanese Drama - 1971, 98 episodes
It's the first Rider ever, so probs to that. Otherwise it's an allright show if you like episodic stuff.
I'm not a huge fan of Showa Era tokusatsu but the highlights of this series to me are the experimentation and novelty in the production, most of the stuff that became iconic. It's a show with more ideas than what they could achieve at the time.
-
19. Kamen Rider J
Japanese Movie - 1994
Did they just rip off Ultraman for the lulz?
-
20. Kamen Rider Gaim
Japanese Drama - 2013, 47 episodes
Only gets worse in my head the more I remember it.
This series is a mess, both narratively and artistically. It's has such a goofy setting, but the writing takes itself too seriously that it starts to become too cringe sometimes. On the subject of cringe, Kouta and Kaito are the most shounen characters ever in this. Mitsuzane's development is the star of the series tho.

21. Kamen Rider Gotchard
Japanese Drama - 2023, 50 episodes
Terrible start
