I mean, I appreciate the constructive criticism and all, but I'm not sure you understand what I was going for here. I suppose this is a nice chance to sort of give the behind-the-scenes with how this thread came to be. Though ironically enough it'll probably take a bit.
While the initial spark for this little project was indeed summarizing the series in a nice compact fashion, I ended up doing it how I did for several reasons:
- First off, in the spirit of concise summary, the single most important reason I did it this way was because I wanted people to be able to sort of "take the journey" from my perspective, which meant one episode at a time. I definitely could've gave a more overall essay, you are absolutely right about that, but this was my attempt to basically say all the things I could ever want to about Ghost, and back up my points as thoroughly as possible.
- I sort of
did
give an overall summary for the first section, touching on the broad stuff while only really backing out on elaborating on the Riders, since they're the focus of most of the episode thoughts anyway. It's not quite what you were hoping for, clearly, but it's something.
- A big part of the fun of this for me was having an excuse to skim back over all the episodes, and that made writing it how I did a smoother experience. I could click through (and occasionally just straight up rewatch) the episodes and then jot down my bigger thoughts on them bit by bit.
- Which is the thing. Despite appearances, I'm positively
glossing over
a lot of the episodes, boiling 22 minutes down to a short paragraph that takes about 1-3 minutes to read, and describes only a couple elements of the episode. I don't think major plot events qualify as "every minute detail". The only impression I'm giving off here is that "Every episode of the series is significant", and I really don't think that's a BAD thing.
- Which naturally leads to the next reason. A common thing I hear from people criticizing Ghost is that it was incoherent/messy, so by describing the whole series in a decompressed fashion, I figure it demonstrates how that wasn't the case far better than just writing "Ghost wasn't incoherent/messy" would. Like I reiterate a lot throughout, things in Ghost are very directly tied to one another. It builds on itself a lot, so going chronologically rather than making an individual point and then dissecting it made sense to me.
- Similarly, if, for example, I say "Onari was helpful", the natural followup question is "how?", hence, I described a ton of instances of Onari being significantly useful. If I
didn't
mention details here and there, my case wouldn't be as strong. Again, I'm trying to say everything all at once here, even if it takes an hour to read.
- This is part of the reason I actively suggest skimming through a certain element of the show with your browser's search function at the start. Specifically if you
don't
have the time/incentive to want to take the whole roller coaster ride through the show. Rather than just a simple essay, I wanted to create a sort of... resource, I guess(?) for all my stupid opinions. Wanna know what I think about Infinite Potential™? Look it up. How about that Makoto guy? Look it up. I went into thorough detail not because I
needed
to, but because I didn't want to leave anything out.
- I'm not good at writing short posts.
