I felt obliged to post this. I would like to contribute more, but alas, I only ever saw that Kamen Rider 1 film, not the rest of Ghost. |

On another note, I've been wanting to watch Den-O for ages. How binge-able would you all say it is?

But Hyper Beast I think I'd agree ain't a great upgrade. Funny you mention Meteor Storm - I remember, way back when it debuted, the fact that the two look very similar was the big topic, and I wondered if that had coloured my opinion of it, and maybe it had, cause looking at it now, there's a good few things I like. The stripe of red being both the eyes and the open jaws, the mane-shoulder-armour thingy. Maybe it just doesn't look amazing in motion, idk.

Beast is what happens when you invert the standard Den-O model for the main/secondary Rider dynamic. In this case, Haruto was the more serious character and Nitou is more of the goofball. Unfortunately, it leaves him feeling really ineffectual when compared to the guy who's been effectively handling everything on his own up to this point. Toss in the RNG nature of his weapon and he tends to feel more like a joke character than a major hero.
Nice. Same here. That movie is awesome.

I haven't seen Ghost, except for the Ichigou movie, Heisei Generations movies, and of course Zi-O, the movies I liked, though I might see the show at a later date.
As for my thoughts on Beast. He's not the worst, but not the best I'd say. I kind of like the rather friendly secondary Riders, Cross-Z being my favorite, but I don't have any problem with the rival-type Riders, since I enjoyed Vulcan. But Birth and Beast have their quirks, but might not be as high on my list as others. |

You, uh...didn't miss much. I don't hate it as much as most people seem to, but it's nothing special. I really liked the first arc and the arc focused on Necrom, plus the suit designs were cool, but the main story was pretty uninteresting and it had way too much filler towards the end of the series (when it should have been focusing on story).

If you tend to go with the majority view then maybe you will really like Den-O, if not then you won't, personally although I wouldn't say I really hated it and it could be enjoyable for characters that weren't Ryotaro(!) I didn't like the direction it took Kamen Rider for a couple of years and Kiva was actually much more my cup of tea than anything else from 2007-August 2010, I just really am unlikely to ever love W, I'm sorry!

Because it is. Or at least the majority feels that way. I don't even remember much about that show, except how I despise it with every fibre of my very being. |

It's... not, though? If you don't like it, sure; but on a technical level there's not much wrong here. There's weak elements like Kanon's characterisation, but the show's been a delight to watch each week and fun at worst

I super like the opening especially, and I also really liked Mayu's character, and the relationship between her and Hongo, I thought that was super heartfelt. |

I would just like to say I wish Ghost had full sleeves instead of the short ones. I'm happy Mugen and Grateful ditched them for shoulder pads.
edit: I might rewatch Sin Specter soon, even tho I haven't watched Ghost yet. |
