[Switchblade]

I liked this episode. Ghost hasn't made a huge impact on me as a show, so far, but it definitely looks like the plot is starting to move a bit more. I've been avoiding spoilers so I don't know much about Spectre or Mystery Dude, so I'm very curious to see what their collective deals are, especially since they're apparently connected somehow.

I really liked that Takeru didn't immediately find a wellspring of self-confidence and defeat Spectre in their rematch. I kind of hope that this lasts for a few episodes as Takeru gradually gets his shit together and learns to be a better Kamen Rider from his conflicts with Spectre (which I think is what Drive wanted to do with Machine Chaser but ultimately just used his fights with Drive as filler).

I'm giving this episode top marks - in part because of the plot developments, but mostly for the cinematography. There were some really nice shots in this episode. I'm not sure who directed this episode, but I want to see them do more.
