I think at this point it's safe to say Ghost is horrendous. It's relying heavily on toy driven story rather than character driven plot. I don't accept the comparison that "Drive did the same thing" last year either though. It was a legitimately fun show from the start. Ghost feels like a chore. Dino Charge has likewise finally worn off from the "it's not Super Megaforce!" feels and has become rather generally boring and predictable. Ultraman X doesn't hold any interest for me personally right now. I try to watch Ultra stuff in full series batches. Just too difficult to work through one week to week as it comes out.
Dino Charge I can't personally speak to since I won't be able to catch up until Netflix uploads the newer episodes on account of Viacom being a twat. |

I'm sorry but toy-driven or not, still too early to write off Ghost. Most of these neo-Rider shows, and even some past series, need at least until the 15th episode or so to know whether or not its potential will be shown. Even Gaim went through with that since stuff didn't get really interesting until like episode 12.
Right now Ghost has a lot of interesting stuff starting up; Specter's little sister, his apparent connection to Akari, the weird relic-guy's motives, etc. Does it suck that we kinda have to wait to see how things go with these shows before we know if they're gonna be good or not? Yes, but it's not like that's a new thing.

You might not be able to write off a show entirely, but I don't see why anyone should give a show 15 episodes to see whether if it finds its footing or not. Yes it may very likely pick up in the later episodes, but if its failing to grab people before then it's naturally going to lose its audience.
To be honest, I have very mixed feelings about Ghost at the moment. It isn't awful and I do like the fact that the whole "collect eyecons" thing isn't going to be the bulk of the plot, but the new powers every week thing has grown very old very fast. Nothing feels special any more.

Well, not too long before we start getting them flyer and pamphlet scans for Juohger.
Too bad Ninninger did not live up to some of the pre-show hype(although I personally did enjoy some of the episodes from late summer to this fall). The whole collect all them pokeshurikens didn't catch my interest as much and I feel Star Ninger was introduced too early into the show. Drive in retrospect, felt tad boring during fillers, but felt okay later on as they brought in Kamen Rider Chaser and started wrapping things up. Ghost so far I have no huge complaint overall of the show but still a few: 1. No huge wow factor 2. Some of the stuff feels been there done that(The whole 99 days-to-live thing doesn't really feel original because we had that in 1992 with Zyuranger already and Burai had 1 day, and Tokon Boost, though looks cool, feels like a recycled Hibiki Kurenai). 3. Takenaka feels like he doesn't belong at times despite the fact that he is the guy who gives out them clues and is an awesome actor in his own right(watch the original Japanese Shall We Dance and Sumo Do, Sumo Don't, he was fantastic in those films). So far things that I like about Ghost is Onari and regular appearances of Nishimura Kazuhiko(best Super Sentai lion)as Ryu. The MMPR 2017 film cast looks alright. No complaints. Hope they do their best. Now where's Bulk and Skull. AND ALPHA.

A): Unfortunately, life is just getting in the way of what we originally wanted to do with this. Originally we wanted to do an episode every 2 weeks or so, and for awhile we achieved that. But as life happened (Jordan had a baby, Tom's being a good father and husband, my career is taking off) we just realized we couldn't commit to a schedule that we felt necessary to build and hold a fanbase.
That and the expense to host it no longer was warranted. Releasing 7 episodes a year but dropping $200+ a year for hosting is not a good financial decision and I refuse to go to a Patreon or a crowd-funding. That's not what we're about. B): The Deflippo Triplets who played "Trey of Triforia" had a meltdown. People now believe it was their page manager (Cody), but either way it was in very very poor taste.

It might best I did find a site that free hosting and allows you to upload to iTunes as well full on free of charge. It might not help much now. It understandable reason for ending
