Some may know and some may don't know. On 1st of October, Kids Central is going to air Kamen Rider Faiz, or some would say Masked Rider 555.
Well, all I would say is that, from the 2nd generation of Kamen Riders (Kuuga till Hibiki) onwards, the show is not the childish kid show anymore.
The show had evolved from a typical kid show to a show that is okay for people of all ages to watch.
1st generation, which the late Mr Shotaro Ishimori created, are all Power Rangers alike, which was letting children to watch and cheer about (Usually). The storylines are one-sided and almost similar from series to series, such that we knew early in the series that how the story will progress. For example, the Riders were saving kids from evil and kick the kaijins' butts. Then the masterminds will create new kaijins when the Riders had defeated the latest ones.
Some First Generation Kamen RidersBut from Kamen Rider Kuuga onwards (2nd generation), things had started to get more dramatic. We will not know what the ending will be until the very last few episodes or so. There are also more seperate stories in one series. For example in Kamen Rider Hibiki, besides just watching how the Oni look for Douji, Hime, and Makamou, we also see how Adachi Asumu grow as the story progresses, such that in some episodes, we see him studying very hard to get into Jounan High School, in some episodes, we see him lossing confidence of himself, and how he solved it.

From Kamen Riders to Oni RidersBelieve me, Kamen Rider Faiz will be a good show, besides seeing those handsome guys and cute girls :P , it will be a good show to watch. It's worth watching, just that I don't like the English voice over..
Anyway, may the force be with you, always..
