Yeah having a lightbulb outline on his face is dumb, but it's good dumb because it makes the negative space resemble a cool visor. Mushashi's hoodie has a sword hilt on it's head which looks like those little buns samurai put their hair up into. That is ridiculous, but cool.

Cheap hand puppets are not cool. They're stupid. You can see where the arm of the puppeteer is lifting it's little cape. At least if it was CGI it'd be... not a puppet. How that's even a comparable level to silly (but cool) armour designs I can't comprehend.

I'm not saying you hate everything about the show. I'm in the same boat as you here. I think the ghost hoodies are hilariously stupid.

I can understand the issues with the puppet...
Yeah. It's all legit. I really don't know why they went that route when CG was an option. I guess they didn't want to end up in a Kivala situation of 3 episodes CG and then the remainder of the series being a toy dangled on a string (Seriously).

Concerning the characters, there really isn't anything I can say. It's clear they're trying to hammer in their personalities and quirks early on. Really, all I can do is just hope that once they feel the audience "Gets" them, they can tone them down and start developing them.
And pray that moment comes soon.
