Kamen raidâ Kiba

With this near masterpiece of a tokusatsu series (currently my favourite Kamen Rider ever) that takes the seeds of what was present in the terribly underrated Kamen Rider Agito and the fan favourite Kamen Rider Faiz to their expected conclusions, meaning that finally the clear-as-day shoujo influences of Toshiki Inoue - influences spanning from the Disney Princesses movies to more contemporary affairs like Cutie Honey Flash and Ojamajo Doremi - take the due center of the attention and they become integral part of the storyline. And, of course, men like me, whose favourite animated genre of all times is precisely Shoujo, can't do nothing but love it with all themselves. Add to the mix great looking Kamen Rider suits and music, atmospheres and costumes influenced by the Castelvania games as well as the Visual Key/symphonic power metal movement that in the same year this series was made spawned awesome bands like Versailles, Tears of Tragedy, Schonberg, Liv Moon, Ancient Myth etc. Etc. Etc. As well as stuff reminescent of the confrontations between my beloved Saint Seiya favourites Pisces Aphrodite and Andromeda Shun towards the end and you have a serious contender for one of the best Kamen Rider iterations ever produced and one of my favourite tokus period, destroying not only all the lamentations of the Inoue haters amongst the Kamen Rider fandom with ease but also the awful legacy of his father Masaru Igami (the inept writer of the uberboring original Kamen Rider and its unwatchable on all fronts sequel V3). I can't legitimately wait to watch his Sentai by the name of Jetman!
