I really admire that vibe with the early Heisei stuff. It's why I always describe them as "soap-operas". Hibiki is probably the best example of it. As much as I like the new stuff too, I'd LOVE to see a new Kamen Rider show in that style again.

That was actually a problem I had with it too at first, believe it or not. It felt even more "childish" than most Neo-Heisei stuff. They even write the characters' given names in Katakana in the credits (it's a big deal!). What is this, Super Sentai?

But it became clear eventually I wasn't giving it enough credit. Ghost's style may be a bit off, but it's still got the same heart as ever. It can get surprisingly heavy for how cutesy it looks at times. It's still very much Kamen Rider at its core. I imagine Ex-Aid will be the same way.
