It's a discussion. You made a comment stating your opinion, somebody else commented on your opinion. That's kind of how forums work :P

I think a lot of criticism of Drive and Ghost stems from both shows being very conventional as far as Rider series go -- there aren't a lot of twists or subversions or surprises that make these shows exciting for many longterm fans. Once you watch a few more Rider shows, you'll start to pick up on the franchise's repeated tropes, and you'll probably begin to see why many get frustrated with these two shows in particular.

As a Sentai fan first, I remember discovering Kamen Rider. The first shows I watched -- OOOs, Fourze, and Kiva -- blew my brain to bits, and I began to think Kamen Rider was the franchise that made my toku heart the happiest. Cut to a few years later, and I have a bunch more series under my belt. I'm way more desensitized to Rider's tropes. As such, I've gravitated back to my first toku love: Sentai.

Could be. I've already noticed a lot of similarities between Ghost and Drive. However, I find the two-part episode structure allows for more interesting MOTW stories, and there's a lot more variety episode-to-episode in KR than there is in Sentai, which for the most part, is basically the same every episode.

I fully am aware that my initial "oh my god Kamen Rider is the best thing ever" high will end, but looking past that I still already feel like KR has much more to offer.


Anyways, so what I'm gathering is that people are disappointed with Ghost and Drive more due to their context within the series?
