The wiki is 99% accurate when it comes to watch orders. Ghost's V-cin (which again is unfiltered KINO) should be one of the last things you should watch. Some take place during the show but most are post series. I mean, Saber's takes place 8 years after the show.

I think Ghost and Saber's post-series movies were good (never watched the entirety of both series but I'm familiar with many of the characters). It'll be interesting to hear other people's favorite V-Cinemas.
 
I lol'd at the beginning of Ghost epi 6 when Takeru states he has 45 days left. Bro had 90 something in epi 5 and now its down to half. Maybe should had gone with 60 days instead of 99.

W's are pretty great, Gaims range from KINO to meh, Drive's are great, Ex-Aid's are fine, Build's are good enough, ZI-O's is fun as hell, Zero one's are a mess, Revice's is shockingly good, Geats's is good and Gotchard's is good.
I think the only outright middling/not quite bad but not good ones are the Duke's, Accel's, Cross-Z's, Para-Dx/Poppy's, and Metsubojinrai's.

I adore Takeru but he's not the brightest. Not a full retard like Shinji in Ryuki tho lol

My favorite Gaim Gaiden was Knuckle's story among the four. As for Build's side, it was a bit annoying that Evolto got resurrected in the end after all the trouble Sento and co. went through. The Zero-Ones were total downers, mood-wise as if the craziness during the pandemic wasn't enough. Geats was decent and Gotchard was surprisingly not bad at all.
 
So, my experience with Tokus was kinda limited, I watched some Power Rangers and Ryukendo on cable tv, but stopped after my family stopped paying for it.

Last year I watched both Shin Ultraman and Shin Kamen Rider and liked them, besides the original series of both, any specific you guys recommend?

Kamen Rider: Black, Kuuga, Ryuki, Kiva, W, OOO, Gaim, Build, Zero-One, Geats.

Ultraman: Ultraseven, Ace, Taro, Tiga, Gaia, Max, X, Orb, R/B, Blazar.

Maybe give Rescue Force a try if you want to try something outside the big two. It's made by the same studio behind Ryukendo, and they even reference the pose in one episode.

On the Kamen Rider side I'd recommend Faiz, Blade, Kabuto, Den-O, Fourze, Drive, Saber and thus far Zeztz.
On the Ultraman side, Z is KINO, avoid Trigger and avoid the 2nd half of R/B (My nigga Aizen leaving ruined the show)

I have within the past year started my own journey into Toku. Since @Ultraman Orb Dark & @Tsukasa Kadoya got you covered on Kamen Rider & Ultraman I'll add some Super Sentai for you to check out.

If you want to watch the Sentai counterpart of Power Rangers then Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, Gosei Sentai Dairanger, Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, Denji Sentai Megaranger & Mirai Sentai Timeranger are all on TokuShoutsu.

As for as newer stuff that didn't get Power Rangers adapations:
Mashin Sentai Kiramager, Lupin Ranger vs Patranger, Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger, Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger, No.1 Sentai Gozyuger.

You have to use the cat site for the newer stuff.

*Got beat by @gaj29 so I added some more recs*
 
Episode 7 of Zeztz just finished and once again the 2nd part of the 2 parter was the stronger episode.

Baku outright states he is an agent in front of his sister and then nothing happens. Hopefully that plot point is addressed in the next couple of episodes.

seconding Giant Robo (toku)
there's a mostly good dub in Johnny Sokko And His Flying Robot
a couple of name changes, bit of time trims, but iirc only content edit is one time a character very clearly blows the fuck up but the narrator jumps in to explain "uhh yeah he's okay" otherwise they leave in the little girl being good with a machine gun and all
it's interesting because the formula "godzilla/human with extra shit" hadn't become the standard and Robo fights a lot of non-humanoid monsters

if you're running the Giant Robo course it's def worth watching ahead of GR Giant Robo (tv anime that's mostly forgotten despite including a stop to robot fight at Burning Man)
Giant Robo ova is really its own thing, like, George Reeves Superman to All Star Superman so it's neither here nor there for the old toku

my dad watched reruns of that as a grown-up on MeTV or one of those about fifteen years ago
it was funny af, he's not ignorant of toku as a general thing but he knows kaiju movies and "ultraman exists" so he asks me about "this Johnny Sokko" and I'm all blahblahblah

I remember when I explained Ultraman to my dad, I compared Hayata to Clark Kent with how he slips out to transform.
