Kamen Rider Ghost Discussion Thread

I never understood why so many hated this show so much. I mean, sure it's not perfect. But I wouldn't say it was terrible, nor is it that great. But hey, at least there are some positive things to like about the show. For example, the summer movie and Kamen Rider #1 (2016) which are actually pretty good in my opinion. Then there were the legend rider eyecon netmovies, I thought they were awesome. Better than any of the Super Hero Taisen movies, except for Z possibly. Akari was pretty bad-ass for a Rider Girl that likes to invent stuff in the name of science. Hell, I thought she was a mix between McGuyver and Egon Spangler from Ghostbusters (1984), but with boobs. The acting was pretty decent, and yeah the whole "my life is burning bright" and "humanity's potential are infinite" can be generic, but honestly I thought they were a part of Takeru's character.

With that being said, the only things that I didn't like are the "Fake Makoto/Specter" arc, Takeru being killed off for the fourth time, including his sacrificial demise in the summer movie, the kid character in the final episode (God, he was annoying!) And lastly, Adel being the main villain throughout the remaining 38 episodes of the show. I would have prefer if Chikara Sainoji wasn't killed off so early in the show, and that he would stay a little longer before he was defeated by Takeru, Makoto and Alain halfway through the show. But nope, we have to deal with generic, blandy McEvil Prince Charming and his constant reminder of how much he despised his daddy for not loving him. Seriously and you thought the Neo-Saban era of Power Rangers has issues with writing in missing family member dramas in their seasons, that's just cupcakes compared to Adel's "Daddy!!! Daddy wasn't there. To take me to the fair. It's like he didn't caaaaaarrrre! Daddy wasn't there!" 

Other than that. I didn't think Kamen Rider Ghost was that terrible. Not great, but not that bad, it's just okay, for me.

Nice. Very nice, purplecreator. In fact, I think you should definitely cosplay as Kamen Rider Ghost, this year. Especially since next Tuesday is Halloween.

My avatar picture is of me in my Ghost cosplay at Katsucon earlier this year, which was where I debuted it. It was even featured in an article on the Tokusatsu Network! I posed with a girl who was dressed as Akari. My best friend was cosplaying as Haruto Souma. The Kamen Rider Kabuto is my buddy Steven, who I bought my belt extenders from. tokusatsunetwork.com/2017/02/katsucon-2017-convention-recap/

Not going out on Halloween, guys. I have work until almost 5P.M. and I'm usually exhausted after work. Plus, a new episode of The Flash is gonna be on that night!

I recently started the show out of curiosity since I've heard this show being one of the better Rider series Post-Wizard. On episode 8 & so far I love it. It's got enough story to keep me invested & a lot of mysteries to keep me intrigued & I really like Takeru. Think only real negative I've had so far are his 2 friends. They came off as obnoxious & annoying.....Well the monk does still the science girl seems to be getting better.

Through the Genesis movie &....wooo that was messy. I mean the Ghost portion were fine & I like that this movie war actually was a team-up rather than 2 different slightly longer episodes & a team-up but man the Drive cast were wasted or poorly used. That's my first exposure to Drive & if it's anything like this I'm in serious trouble whenever I get the chance to watch it.

^ I agree, it's the worst Movie War I watched. There's no way it could be canon since Adel killed Tenkuuji Ryu in the series, not Da Vinci, Takeru's birth/death day doesn't match with the series and Toucon Boost Damashii is not called Tou-san Damashii.

Which is weird since Takeru and Shinnosuke are familiar with each other in Heisei Generations.
