If you watched Kuuga, Agito and Ryuki. Those 3 show were darker than recent Kamen Rider show but how come we don't get those dark tone anymore?

Because FAIZ KILLED IT! Faiz is the most boring show ever because I couldn't watch it! I even don't know if Blade was dark Kamen Rider show but I know Faiz was the reason of why Toei decides to make Recent Kamen Rider show a more kid show like Super Sentai!

Hibiki was a confusing mess because apparently I think Hibiki was original to be a dark Kamen Rider but NO! Toei decides to mess around because they wanted more toy! and they didn't want to waste their money on location! Even Hibiki's actor was complained about Toei changing the PLANNED SERIES FINALE of Hibiki! Apparently Toei didn't learn a lesson from Batman & Forever aka Toy Commercial film!

Sure, Gaim was a dark show but the ending was more happy one than most of Gen Urobuchi's project! It got over-the-top moment with Bravo!

I feel Onari was added to Ghost because Toei wants over-the-top comic relief because they need a freaking clown to make little childrens laugh! I don't even know if they add a Comic Relief to Ex-Aid! I think a pink-hair girl could be that comic relief! I hope they don't make her OVER-THE-TOP!

Toei always care about MONEY! They don't care about story-telling but lot of money!

Faiz was darj as hell as previously stated and Blade was also really dark. The final episode has a very memorable moment for me Hajime is the last Undead left so the world will be destroyed, but he doesn't want that to happen, and tries killing himself
With Hibiki, the toys not only sold like shit, but the show went over budget and got low ratings (the show even scared kids I hear). Oh, and the reason the female lead in Den-O suddenly became a little girl and the plot revolving around that? Her actress quit due to illness or harassment, can't find a good answer, so they rewrote everything there
Deaths of beloved characters is a happy ending? And Oren being camp gay comic relief makes him stand out due to how different he is from the cast, the clear contrast can be appealing, I know I loved Oren

Japan LOVES Over the Top iirc, After all, Ace Attorney and Jojo are stupidly popular for a reason
