The Troubled Production of Kamen Rider Ghost :(
1 Attachment(s)
I find this page and it’s reveal of what went wrong with Kamen Rider Ghost and how the show fails to live up the expection and explain some of questionable stuff that they made for Kamen Rider Ghost.
I took a picture and click on the thumbnail to look more detail about the troubled production of Kamen Rider Ghost. If you didn’t click the thumbnail...... Here’s we go The show's severe decline and current status as the black sheep of the Neo-Heisei era can mostly be pinned on this. Executive Meddling diverted the budget from this series to production of Kamen Rider Amazons. In addition, the series head writer Takuro Fukuda would regularly be absent within the construction of the series, leaving Keiichi Hasegawa (And to a lesser extent Noubhiro Mouri) left to pick up the pieces and try and introduce character arcs and lore… which would only end up being contradicted when Fukuda would return… solely to write filler episodes until the series reached its climax. Coupled with the show's pacing issues and arbitrary plot points introduced and then forgotten which were caused by mandates to meet each movie event deadline, several scenes required to understand the ongoing storyline and character development were left on the cutting room floor, only to be recollected into the Legend of Hero Alain home video minisodes. |
The diverted budget isn't really an issue. That's not going to affect the actual plot of the show. The inconsistencies of the writing staff, however, is a big problem. This must why:
1) There was no consistency as to what the Ganma were. 2) The show can't decide if it's about Indiana Jones-style ghost and treasure hunting or Buddhist themes. 2) Takeru dies in episode 12 in an arc that should've taken place later on. 3) Makoto's story is resolved super quickly and horribly, leaving him useless the rest of the show. 4) Sennin/Edith and Yurusen are so bad they even do a fourth wall joke about it. It's a wonder that the arc about Alain and Fumi ended up so well done with a mess like this. That was pretty much Ghost's saving grace. |

I wouldn’t be surprised if he was the one who made “87 days to 57 days” choice and have Takeru basically do nothing for those days. It’s also explained why Kamen Rider Ghost lack any insert songs compare to previous Kamen Rider Shows. They couldn’t afford those songs while Ex-Aid and Build got insert songs too. There was literally 2 songs for Kamen Rider Ghost and both songs was sang by Kishidan. |
Wait who wrote the movie?

He was the reason of why Kamen Rider Ghost are so inconsistent and it wasn’t good one. Like I say, he probably only care about money and didn’t have passion for Kamen Rider Ghost, that’s my theory. |
Despite Ghost has many flaws, I still enjoyed this series. Alain and his stories is best things in this series.
Oh one more thing, I think it will be better if Dark Ghost are main villain in series not in movie. Adel as main villain is quite boring in my opinion. |

I wish they should keep them as supernatural demons than humans that put their soul on freaking Eyecon. I do agree about Alain and his relationship with Fumi. I was sad that she’s passed away. |

It still wasn't responsible for the clusterfuck we got, though. That was...as you say, poor choices on the staff's part. Although I disagree on Senin - I found him pretty funny. Unlike...Onari. |
Thanks for the info. I really like the first third of KR Ghost, and then it's true it began to drag on. This explains why.
|
This explains a lot. Thanks.

THIS IS TERRIBLE!!!!
This season needs to be rebooted someday. To be what Ghost is REALLY meant to be about. It could've had elements from... - Ghost Rider - The Crow - Danny Phantom - Casper the Friendly Ghost - Mortal Kombat - Shaman King - Yu Yu Hakusho & - Dragon Ball |

So...what are the sources on these?

You could tell the head writer didn’t really care about the show and only in it for money and didn’t really collaborate with other writers. That’s my guess. Other writers didn’t really know what to do with the show and it become a mess. Most of Kamen Rider Ghost’s arc are either rushed or awful. The only good arc that they did was Alain and his relationship with Fumin. |
Don't share info if you don't have any sources to back it up?

I can't remember where I read it before, but they ended having to change story elements as well due to parents complaining that Ghost was too unsettling in the Drive movie.
It's a gigantic shame that Ghost was thrown under the bus. In my opinion, it had the best combination of items and themes in Kamen Rider. Alas, oh well. |
Ghost has a cool idea, but badly done. I stop watching the show early on because I didn't like any of the characters and I'm sick of the typical Kamen Rider cliches being used. I kinda wish they did a Faust type of story where the main hero dies and makes a deal with a Devilish character to be reborn as a Kamen Rider. It could have been Kamen Rider's answer to Ghost Rider if they wanted to take inspiration from Marvel.

Ghost was biggest missed opportunity and what we got was a very messy Kamen Rider Show. During Kamen Rider Ghost’s final arc, I didn’t feel excited and I was very confused cause the arc keep drag on and I didn’t very get emotional for the final episode compare to Drive’s final episode where I got emotional of saying goodbye to Mr. Belt. I feel they got the wrong writer to do Kamen Rider Ghost and that’s one of reason of why Kamen Rider Ghost disappoint the audience. |

Casper & Danny Phantom? Change bits of Takeru's story where he's been a ghost haunting his own home until befriending Akari. |

Yeah I'd like to see the sources for these too. I can tell from the attachment that the text is from TV Tropes, and that's far from credible.
|
I still loved Ghost and it doesn't seem like it had production issues as clearly as some other shows did like Blade/Decade/Hibiki/Kabuto.

Not sure where this came from, but I wouldn't be terribly surprised. There's so many plots and characters that are all over the place or just vanish into thin air - Alain's mentor especially was so bizarre for this - that I can't believe it's simply the result of bad writing. There had to have been some sort of behind-the-scenes problems; a bad writer alone cannot be responsible for a lot of the show's plot and character issues.
