The Shinkenger crossover was with Kamen Rider Decade, I myself haven't watched it. I've read mixed opinions about it. Possibly because of how the series ended, which was on a cliffhanger that was resolved in theatrical movie that crossed over with the preceding series, Kamen Rider W. Decade had already been over for a few months when the movie came out.
I have watched Kamen Rider W. It is deffenatly one of the best toku shows from the past five years. I highly recomend it. So, watch a few episodes and tell me what you think.
Technically, the main rider would be called Kamen Rider Double (in Japanese the english letter "W" and the english word "double" are pronounced the same way). Why is Double called "Double"? Because normaly he is two diffrent people who transform into one person when he/they transform. Confused? It makes more sense if you watch it.
I'm currently searching for any fansubs for some of the older Sentai and Rider shows, which a little hard to come by as sub groups can only get them via DVD, unlike more recent series.
You probably know The Super Sentai Series started back in 1975. The Kamen Rider started in 1971. The Ultraman Series goes back even further, to 1966! The first ever Tokusatsu TV series was called Moonlight Mask from 1958. I don't belive there are any subs of it avalble, but I would love to see it.
I'm thinking the only way to see all of these old series is to learn Japanese and then buy the DVDs online. Although, Ultraman was dubbed into english back in the 1970s (my mom recalls watching it as a kid) and it has been reliesed on DVD a few times with subs, but it doesn't go past the orginal series.
After that little ramble, I truly am a toku additct...
