Most Heisei era Rider series aren't very episodic.
Which Rider series did you find to be episodic? I'm curious.

So Ghost is my first foray into non-Showa Rider, and I'm noticing that the show is MUCH less episodic than Super Sentai. I never really know what to expect with this, as opposed to Sentai where every episode is practically the same thing. Are all Rider series like this?
To answer your question yes rider typically does have more story driven episodes than super sentai does. Now there are filler episodes in there typically towards the middle of the show, and your mileage will vary on which show you are watching. For example if you watch Gaim there will literally be two episodes of filler. Both of which are movie tie in episodes and do not need to be watched. On the flip side Wizard has a fair amount of filler in it, yet the action does make up for it. |

Even before Den-O, Rider would do two parters but they would just be so much more subtle about it - the monster would escape at the end of an episode despite that episode's plot being finished. Or you'd just get the same suit repainted in the next episode.
After a while, Shirakura, the head producer on a lot of the early Rider shows, felt two parters with two Riders should be the new formula of the series. Thankfully, it looks like that's coming to an end. |

Now I'm understanding why Rider is so much more popular than Sentai, and even then Ghost doesn't seem to be terribly well-received. I'm loving it though, so if this is one of the not as good seasons, I can't wait to check out the rest.

Yeah, but at around Den-O - and especially after Decade - it really became all about the "victim and monster of the fortnight" pattern. A new character would be targeted by a monster, the Rider would protect her (or occasionally him), and then the character would never be seen again. The main villains would occasionally do some plotting, but the only major plot advancements would just be the newest power up. The older and newer shows are better about hiding the monster arcs with ongoing storylines.

I didn't really mind the monster of the fortnight scenario. It worked in Double's favor since they were a detective agency, first, so a lot of them just felt like daily life.
And for OOO, the Greeed's mission basically needed humans to let out their inner desires, so they weren't really just random bystanders caught in the crossfire, but directly served the goals of the villain. I guess it was a little strained for Fourze and especially for Wizard, though.

Well, the two-part format sounds a whole lot more interesting than episodic MOTW style, but I still prefer the formula that Ghost has been following. What's another series that has a good, continuous storyline? I've heard Gaim is like that, but what else?
Also, which series has the best two-part formula? I like the paranormal investigations aspect of Ghost, so W sounds fun with its detective work. (same with Drive)

I got question about Kamen Rider Drive Saga with Mach and Heart.
Since both Mach and Heart take place 2 years after the conclusion of Kamen Rider Drive's Finale, How can Heart become Kamen Rider despite being dead? |
