no, it's a bunch of questions have been getting asked since Ghost started.

like "is Ghost turning out to be like Drive?"
"is this guy like Chase?"
"are the toy sales not good?"
"has anyone dropped it yet?"

it's just sensationalism. it's only been five episodes. Drive had fuck nothing going on in it's first five episodes.

While I would argue that in retrospective Drive did have quite a lot going on in it's first five episodes, I do agree that those questions start to get annoying. 5 episodes are just waaaaay too early to judge a show already. Especially because it takes many seasons at least 25 episodes or more to fully get in gear (no pun intended).

Yes, a bunch of questions asked over a period of time of about a month by different people. You're making this out to be a bigger deal than it actually is, imo.

exactly. it's just too short a time to be asking those kinds of things. like, at the very least 10 episodes would be a better time to ask these questions.

Well I think the amount of episodes we are in is enough to judge if one wants to continue watching a show. You seen pretty much what the show's general atmosphere will be and what characters you'll be following, pretty much how the shows set up.

I do think it is fair to judge Ghost already, and personally it's underwhelming. The fights are too short and keep changing forms so much, it's like take a break. The episodes seem to try to cram to much information instead of flowing it out easily. It's as if the writers forget they have 45~ish episodes to develop a story.(which is the problem with most Toku.)

again, you're judging the first five episodes of a 45ish episode series.

Gaim and W barely had anything going on in their first few episodes.
like, you can judge the atmosphere, but that doesn't mean it can't improve.

hell, nearly everyone who watched Drive said it got better in the 20s.

Still it's enough to for a person to see if they want to stick with it. I do the same thing with countless other shows. Doesn't matter if there are hundreds of episodes, or a couple, the first few episodes are enough for a person to judge.

I agree with Hero. I usually watch 5 episodes of any show to see if it grabs me and if I want to follow it. If it doesn't I don't watch it anymore.

As for Ghost, nope, I'm loving it.

I say get up to episode 6 and see if you want to see how the shows goes or not. I drop Drive since I didn't like the story or the characters expect for Chase. I find it stupid that it takes 20 episodes for Drive to be good. No series should take over 20 episodes to "get good".

8 episodes has always been the length for my trial period.

enough time for setup and seeing if the series is actually starting to pick up or stay stagnant.

and it all depends on if the 8th episode gets me to want to continue.

and the 20 episodes thing involving Drive was more meant to say "you shouldn't say the show is getting stale, or doesn't look like it is picking up" at the very least for a 5 episode mark.
