Agreed. I do find the puppet oddly charming though, I want one.

Meh, the glove at least made sense at least and he had a body usually so I ding mind Ankh. This though just, ugh and Ghost in general isn't "doing" it for me.

The puppet is just stupid, like I hope it goes away. The fight scenes are prettty meh, the suits are pretty cool, but the orange "skeleton" just takes it away the cool factor, because most of these colors don't blend well together.

The monster designs feel more like a sentai that rider and the characters are pretty annoying. The monk needs to shut up, and the girl needs to calm down. Takeru is just kind of there and a bit generic.

Again this show just doesn't quite feel like "rider" for me.

Well I watched episode 2 and this show just isn't working for me. I haven't hated the beginning to a series this much since Den-O. The entire writing just feels like it is done by someone with ADD because there are way too many scene cuts and camera changes going on in too short of a time span. There were scenes that just didn't make any sense because they were far too quick. Not only that, but why does everyone have to shout and move around as if they are on drugs? The fights are way too flat and also quick. I just can not get into it and I absoultye hate the entire side cast. I'm not even sure I want to wait until episode 10 before I make a final decision on whether to continue or not.

I'm in the habit of watching the episode twice a week, once by myself, once with my friends. Anyways I really enjoyed it a lot. I am loving Takeru's character and how much he enjoys life and to not take it for granted especially since he lost his. The opening theme is awesome, and his henshin sequence is amazing too. I also like that his Self's ghost was dancing when he was transforming. Akari actually was more tolerable and actually really likeable this episode, I enjoyed her believing in Takeru and her rapport with Onari is really hilarious. I like the Sage too he's mysterious and intriguing. I wouldn't be surprised if the guy with the villain turns out to be Necrom, he looks like a guy who should be used more but hey Chase didn't show up till episode 3 so who knows. I enjoyed the Edison ghost and the scientist they used that was a fun plot because of talking about infinite possibilities of life; also having a Tesla Ganma was hilarious too. I love Captain Ghost and the Iguana Ghostriker that was completely badass, the CGI has been looking better these last few years especially since Gaim. I am enjoying that it's been a few days this episode and hope the entire series doesn't take the entire 99 days. The Edison form looks awesome in motion as it did in pictures, it's one of my favorites, I hope it gets more of focus because it kind of only just destroyed the Ganma. I love that the Ganma can also use the Eyecons as well. Well I definitely can't wait for Robin Hood next week and more from this series.

Your argument was half that you dislike the side characters/Sennin and half that you dislike Yurusen and the dancing parkas. I acknowledged that you could make the argument for the ghosts to say that it's more childish, but nothing about the characters has any real bearing on that. You dislike them, for a host of perfectly good reasons, but disliking the characters doesn't naturally lead to "this series is aimed at a younger audience."

And yes, I know one of the characters is an actual hand puppet.

I mentioned both the Drive and Gaim things because they are the most recent, and only recent, Kamen Riders I've seen, it wasn't some attempt at a 'gotcha' because you like it or whatever (and it'd definitely be a pretty weak-ass one if it was since Gaim is my favorite too.) And it isn't a 'jab,' because I don't dislike any of those things.

It was just me expressing the opinion that a dancing ghost hoodie isn't necessarily any sillier than a giant metal banana falling on a dude's head during transformation. Because a giant metal banana falling on a dude's head during a transformation is silly, and actually kind of stupid. All Kamen Riders have armor, but not all have it delivered by head-fruits, just as not all of them have ghosts dancing around them while they're in the process of transforming. Different strokes or something like that.

Now, this is a weak-ass cover, but when I mentioned the shift cars I meant to compare those to Yurusen, and when I mentioned the armor I meant to compare those to the parkas. Not necessarily both to both, because they're pretty different things.

Either way, my point was merely that, as Diamondmatter said, nothing about Ghost's tone is new, so I don't get how one can say that it's aimed at a lower audience or toddlers or something.

It's a perfectly simple and unnecessary point to make, really, but I had to go and made a big deal out of it and waste all of our time, so, you know, bleh. :I

What are you trying to say that was worth quoting that whole post for? :eyebrow

Also forgot to say - not a fan of the theme song at all. Might grow on me (wasn't a huge fan of Life is SHOWTIME at first but now its one of my absolute favourites), but I haven't felt this indifferent toward a Rider theme in quite a while.
