I like Specter's theme already. I'd like to know why he's collecting the Eyecons thought, since he's still alive.

I've heard two theories on why he's collecting the Eyecons: he's either gonna use the wish to help a loved one or he himself is actually dying and he's gonna use the wish to cure himself.

Does anyone think ghost is kind of silly with the over the top reactions and the way the ganma act? Also the action is kind of lame.

The I don't think the silliness is any more than it has been for the last several years, (excluding the grimdark of Gaim) but the fights have been a little hit or miss so far. When it's good I think it's pretty great, but a lot of the skirmishes have been a sort of boring. Probably overall a step down from Drive in terms of action. But who knows? It could ramp up as the series goes on and the stakes are raised.

Not even Gaim was grimdark. May I remind you of that episode with the Oren Lockseed, for example?

There is also the theory that he is in a coma, which could explain the ECG waves on his suit.

Honestly I find the battles quite good. As for the structures of the episodes I find the one part thing to be well structured. Most probably they want to get rid of the collections of the varius ghosts early because most probably it will have a more elaborated plot in the 2nd part of the story

True, it wasn't constantly dark; there were often breaks from the drama for a bit, but overall the silliness was probably toned down more than it had been since like... Faiz maybe.

I think there are a few main reasons why Rider has gotten sillier in the last few years. The first is Den-O, which was a huge success based in no small part on the humorous antics of the Imagin. The second is that the target audience seems to be skewing younger since Fourze, which kids loved and older viewers were much cooler on. The younger audience is why I think the humor from Wizard onwards has tended more towards slapstick, shouting, and wacky facial expressions. Thirdly, I strongly suspect that the last couple shows have really ratcheted up the humor as a response to how bleak Gaim got by the end, which was pretty alienating to the younger kid audience.

Huh. Apparently they actually reused footage from OOO Wonderful for that flying city scene. They're more similar than I thought. XD
