Why It's Excitement

 * 1) The concept of having a Kamen Rider based on video games as well as being a doctor is interesting and executed really well.
 * 2) It has an amazing theme song, EXCITE.
 * 3) A storyline which has depth and interesting, some even considered it as the best one during the Neo-Heisei era.
 * 4) It's a big improvement over mh:terribletvshows:Kamen Rider Ghost, which was a terrible Kamen Rider season from the previous year.
 * 5) There are some likable characters such as Emu Hojo, Poppy Pipapopo, Hiiro Kagami, Taiga Hanaya, Kiriya Kujo, Parado and Kuroto Dan.
 * 6) Masamune Dan was a very charasmatic and threatening villain, having Kuroto and Parado do all the dirty work so he can take over and rise on top as Kamen Rider Cronus.
 * 7) Kuroto Dan is also an entertaining and threatening villian as well.
 * 8) It has a few funny moments that don't feel forced into the plot.
 * 9) Great movies such as Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: True Ending, Another Ending: Brave & Snipe, Another Ending: Para-DX with Poppy and Another Ending: Genm vs. Lazer.
 * 10) It teamed up with Kamen Rider Build.
 * 11) It had a decent finale trilogy, and a novel made the storyline much complete.
 * 12) It's both aired alongside two shows Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger and Uchu Sentai Kyuranger.
 * 13) It spawned a few internet memes, such as Cronus using the "Pause" ability, which is a reference to Dio Brando using The World to freeze time in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders, and Cronus using the "Reset" ability, which referenced Killer Queen: BITE ZA DUSTO's ability in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable.
 * 14) HO-JO-EN-MU!

Bad Qualities

 * 1) There are some unlikable characters such as Nico Saiba and Ren Amagasaki.
 * 2) *Kuroto and (at least initially) Poppy falters in this area in this as well,depending on your view.
 * 3) *Additionally, Kuroto proclaiming himself as God, and his obsession with his "god complex" is rather unbearable sometimes.
 * 4) *And depending on your point of view, Hiiro was rather unlikeable during the fiancee arc (Saki's revival).
 * 5) It's crossover with Kamen Rider Zero-One was really mediocre and felt like a filler episode than a 2 part of web series.
 * 6) Some of the jokes tend to fall flat, and the slapstick humor is just a bit annoying in general.
 * 7) The costume design might not be accepted for some audiences.
 * 8) It had to air alongside the terrible second season of mh:terribletvshows:Kamen Rider Amazons.
