My unasked for advice about getting into the following franchises which may seem impenetrable but that's only because people argue a lot about the correct watching order even though it's not that hard

Mobile Suit Gundam (Universal Century): Universal Century is basically broken into two halves: During Char and After Char. Start with Mobile Suit Gundam, optionally enjoy 08th MS Team, War in the Pocket, Stardust Memory, and Thunderbolt, then continue to Zeta and Double-Zeta. Finally, finish with Char's Counterattack, and you are now infected with a deadly disease called Char Aznable. After this, you may choose to proceed to watch Gundam: The Origin, which takes place before Mobile Suit Gundam but isn't really 'canon', and will confuse you if you watch it before everything else. For the second half, I hate Gundam Unicorn but it's chronologically next. Then F91, which kind of sucks, but it has great animation! You're really in the shit now. Gundam Victory also sucks but it marks the end of your journey. You can now proceed to your reward: Reconguista in G (also called G-Reco) which is deeply confusing but fun, and the piece de la resistance: Turn A Gundam, possibly the best show ever made.

Kamen Rider: (Almost) every season of Kamen Rider is standalone and where you start (mostly) doesn't matter. Here is my thoughts on each season as a starting point:

• Showa (Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider V3, Kamen Rider X, Kamen Rider Amazon, Kamen Rider Stronger, Kamen Rider (Skyrider), Kamen Rider Super-1, Kamen Rider Black, Kamen Rider Black RX): I will be honest, most of showa is slop. I mean that lovingly, but this is not high quality entertainment. It's a guy in a suit wrestling with rubber suits for like 96 episodes, at the end of which the big bad is defeated and the season ends. Some people absolutely love showa rider, but I am not a huge fan. Kamen Rider Amazon is the best place to start if you're interested in older rider, as it's comparatively short and has a really lovable main character.
• Early Heisei (Kuuga, Agito, Ryuki, Faiz, Blade): This is the best place to start Kamen Rider, hands down. Early Heisei rider is mature and compelling, while being far more plot driven than Showa rider. There's a tremendous amount of early 2000s stank on these shows, and plenty of yaoi. Please be aware that Kamen Rider Blade is infamous for having a bizarre and confusing start, and while I absolutely love it, it's definitely the weakest out of this set.)
• Mid Heisei (Kabuto, Hibiki, Den-o, Kiva, Decade): Ummm... Don't start here. Unless it's with Den-o, which is famous and catapaulted Takeru Satoh to being a household name. These shows (Den-o excluded) are messy, flawed and divisive amongst fans. Hibiki especially is infamous for having a botched second half, and Decade is an anniversary show that heavily spoils other shows.
• Early 2010s Heisei (W, OOO, Fourze, Wizard, Gaim, Drive): W, OOO, and Fourze are great places to start. The others, not so much. Kamen Rider shifts in this period to focusing very heavily on the toys (okay, it was always focused on the toys, but they're really shoving it in your face here). The maturity level drops considerably, which isn't a bad thing, but I'm 23, man. I'm not gonna watch a guy talk to a tiny toy car.
• Late 2010s Heisei (Ghost, Ex-Aid, Build, Zi-o): Build is the perfect beginners Kamen Rider, because it's easy to understand, self contained, and full of yaoi. Zi-o is an anniversary show so don't even bother. Ex-aid is... well.... it's about video games, so proceed with caution. I haven't seen Ghost, and it's not very popular.
• Reiwa (Zero-One, Saber, Revice, Geats, Gotchard, Gavv): I'm a 23 year old grandpa, and I can't stand Reiwa rider. Zero-one is fun but flawed, while the rest are just... Sorry, not for me. I wouldn't recommend starting here, but of course that's simply my own opinion. They're just too polished and safe for me, having abandoned the ethos of brave but weird choices that made early Heisei so enjoyable.
