Kamenrider Hibiki
Kamen Rider Hibiki's main focus is the
teacher and apprentice-like relationship between Adachi Asumu and
the Oni called Hibiki. Asumu is a young boy unsure of himself and
is at a crossroads in his life as he transitions to high school.
As the series progresses, he learns to be an adult through watching
Hibiki and the other Oni. The secondary focus of the series is the
ancient battle of the Kamen Riders (referred to as Oni in this program)
and the Makamou, demons that can only be defeated using "pure sound".
The series follows the training and changes of the four main Oni,
Hibiki, Ibuki, Todoroki and Zanki.

Kamenrider Ryuki
"One who does not fight
will not survive."
Thirteen Advent Card decks were created for thirteen
Kamen Riders. They make Contracts with monsters from the mysterious
Mirror World, a dimension opposite to our own in which the Kamen
Riders can only exist. The Riders draw on their monsters' strength
in exchange for feeding them the life force of the creatures they
destroy. The creator of the Advent Cards has only one rule: that
there can be only one Kamen Rider. The others must be killed, and
the sole victor will be granted a single wish. This is the Rider
War.
All over the city, innocent people are being
mysteriously abducted, never to be seen again. During his investigations
of these incidents, Shinji Kido- an intern at the online news service
ORE Journal- discovers one of the Advent Card decks at an apartment
where every reflective surface has been covered by newspaper. He
is soon sucked into the Mirror World, discovering the terrifying
truth behind the disappearances: people are literally being pulled
through mirrors by the monsters of the Mirror World so that they
may feed. He is about to be killed by a powerful dragon named Dragreder
when he is saved by Kamen Rider Knight- Ren Akiyama. Ren seeks to
win the Rider War at all costs. He works with a young woman named
Yui Kanzaki, who seeks her missing brother: the master of the Rider
War, Shir Kanzaki. Seeing Ren's strength, Shinji enters the Rider
War not for the prize, but so that he may protect innocent people
from the threat of the Mirror World, and stop the senseless fighting
between the Kamen Riders. With Dragreder as his Contract Monster,
he becomes Kamen Rider Ryuki.
He will discover that there are some people
who cannot be saved. That you must sometimes fight in order to stop
the fighting. The extent to which you must go if you want your deepest
wish to come true, and the sacrifices that you must make. In the
end, there can be only one Kamen Rider...
