Thems Fightin' Words  Kamen Rider is a series usually aimed at children yet the Heisei and the Reiwa era Riders just still touch adult fans. I still can't forget how Japan Info  may have rightfully called Kamen Rider as a show that the dramatic storylines may have made Kamen Rider more appealing to the older audience. As of recent, I think the newer school Kamen Rider series are more appealing to me than the most recent Super Sentai. It's because the dramatic storylines and plot twists can cater to older audiences more. For example, I'd say that I'm a fan of Kamen Rider Drive while I'm no fan of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger .

I've just finished watching Kamen Rider Amazons. For some reason, the show tried to look like an old school film while the clarity and cast shows it's new school.

It just isn't your typical Kamen Rider as it deviates so much that it's pretty much its own show.
