Given what I've recently been doing in this thread, I really had to laugh when you said you were finding enjoyment in the villainy of Doctor Ghost, and him being the only competent one. That aside, I'm glad you enjoyed it! While I don't have the same personal connection as this example, it's the same sort of reason I enjoyed seeing Die's Hibiki thread get past 29 -- it's fun to see people find something in a section of the show that is held in pretty low regard, even if you come out not liking it overall regardless.

You know, in retrospect, maybe the episode ending with something as absurdly extreme as a supporting character firing a bazooka at the hero does make it pretty clear who wrote this one.
So, I completely forgot to mention that I never considered the significance of it being the Musashi Eyecon that Akari protects from Specter until you mentioned it talking about the last episode, and I'm really sorry about that because it's doing a huge disservice to what a great observation that is. When I think of how big a deal Musashi is to this show, I think of that first episode, and all the obvious stuff from the end of the first arc onwards, so it's sort of crazy to think they were also making a point of it throughout the first quarter on top of all that. All of which is to say, yeah, it's pretty great Ghost goes out of his way to use Ore anyway when he and Specter Rider Kick each other here, which serves as a great parallel to the last time Takeru tried that and nearly lost yet another Eyecon for the trouble. Even beyond the story significance of all these things, I've always really appreciated how much Ghost as a series makes it a point to get as many appearances in for forms as possible, even once they're old news. It obviously still starts dropping off after a point anyway, but it's nowhere near to the extent of some other shows, and I can't think of many Riders in the years right before or after Ghost who ever did just their base form Rider Kick as often as Takeru did. Also, Insect Ganma might be Best Ganma? Or at least Best Ganma That Isn't Into Art? I've always thought that design really popped, is the point; it's probably the color scheme. It stuck in my point, is the point; that the most important Damashii to Takeru got so easily defeated without even putting up a fight -- and its performance in Episode 3, while not as hilariously memorable, wasn't much better of a showing. Not only that, but Episode 2 is where I really started to appreciate Takeru's character and his issues; so the two coinciding like that and both getting turned around at the same time in Episode 6? I'm starting to see why SHF released this form!

Bless ERankedLuck and TripleS
The only one's that had really been subbed up to this point were one's for Ex-Aid, Gaim and Build. But now those two have opened the flood gates for a ton of fun stage show content that is never really appreciated until now. |

And yeah, Die's' Hibiki thread was definitely an interesting read for that reason. Definitely gonna have to reread it once I go through Hibiki myself again. BTW, sorry for the lack of commenting on your OOO watch, it's just that, well, I really don't have anything to add as of yet. You've been doing a good job covering all the bases, pretty much!

Well, the second part of Project:Thouser came out. It was certainly interesting with some of its reveals, like how Yotogaki wasn’t onboard with Thouser until Gai suggested letting the Ark awaken and transfer its malice into a single host that could then be destroyed, with Thouser being used to clear up the remnants afterwards.
We also learn that Naki was the one who suggested reviving Jin in a new body not connected to either satellite, so that Humans and Humagears could live in peace one day. And that they requested being rebooted to remove any memory of this, explaining why it never comes up in the show. Overall, a pretty good explanation of some elements that weren’t really covered in show and giving us a chance to see Fuwa fall under Naki’s (and by extension, Gai’s) control for the first time. (The show kind of glossed over everything other than when Naki was uploaded). Last edited by Androzani84; 11-29-2020 at 09:53 AM.. |

Definitely sounds like an attempt to justify the character after he stopped making sense.

Thouser episode 2 was actually really really good for all the character building it done with Naki, but all I can focus on is Humagear memories being connected by USB and it's driving me insane

Kamen Rider Ghost HBV 1
Y'want me to talk about this one? Because it's not that big on character; it's really just kinda cute! The first third really nails a lot of the good will and intention behind the show's concept - a history lesson for kids; using fun costumes to teach them about historical figures and also robin hood - and the rest is just pure comedy. Comedy that was a little hard to land with me given the reliance on wordplay in a language I don't understand, unfortunately! It's one of those barriers when you're watching and are attached to something from a completely different continent and culture; it's hard to get a lot of things. The subs also strangely went back and forth between localising puns and "Keikaku Means Plan"ing them? Still, creepy Onari aside, this was just overall cute. And didn't even have new forms! Wow! Imagine that, HBVs that don't have new stuff to buy and are just fun in their own right!
