I feel that with Kamen Rider, the 20 episode mark is more of a point to fully grasp the show as usually, there is some change in tone or pacing of the show around that time. Back when I started KR, I never expected OOO to go in the direction it did at about half of the series (the whole purple medal plot etc.). Especially when individual character plots are mostly only fully revealed in the second half of the show.

Also, some shows start off feeling meh, but really take a turn for the better when you can put the puzzle pieces together at the end. The first halves of Blade and Drive were not very amazing when I watched them the first time, but boy, they did get a lot more interesting when you know what those things lead up to.

Also, I remember a lot of people complaining about Gaim during the first 20 or so episodes for being so (relatively) light-hearted and people were annoyed by the dancing and then BOOM. In the second half of the show everything just went to hell(heim). Judging from that, if you dropped Gaim at episode 5, thinking the tone of the first half was the general tone of the series, you miss out on quite a lot just for misjudging what you saw in the first few episodes. (on a side note, the darker events do start in episode 12, but the plot doesn't thicken as much as during the 20's).

A question to everyone that looked more into Ghosts designs than I did. All of the Masks are meant to represent something but what is Tutankhamen supposed to be? I cant quite figure that one out.

Apparently Sickles and the Nile river. I don't see it either though XD

Sickel I could see but not a River :lol

Yeah, Nile doesn't make much sense, but he's got sickles for sure.

Where did the nile thing come from? It's always been a pair of sickles and nothing more.

I think the central part is some kind of Egyptian river plant.

I get where you're coming from, (I guess it could be papyrus or something? Seems kind of stubby for that, though) but I really I don't think the blue area is supposed to be anything. In fact, suggesting things that probably aren't even there will just confuse people even more. :p

The wiki says so. The wiki says a lot of silly things.

I feel like 20 episodes for a show to get good is still too long. I think by episode 6 or 7 is a good episode market to see if you want to keep on going or not. I drop Attack on Titan at episode 6 because I thought the show was dull and I hated everyone in the show. I didn't want to finish it.

So far I like Ghost and Yurusen is my least favorite thing about the show so far. Every time I see his character, I feel like that he is just there and his character is not good as someone like Ankh so far. I also don't like his character design. He feels and looks like a Yokai Watch character if you ask me.
