I think Ghost's story is fantastic and I'm not the only one who thinks this. I just don't like people calling it a weak show when honestly it's not. It holds up in a multitude of ways.

Onari I think is a gem and one of the best comic relief characters but he is so much better when they play up his compassionate role especially with Javert. He understands how he can help Takeru and does his best to do that.

I wish they would stop playing let's fuck with the secondary rider in the last 3 series because Baron, Mach, and Spectre all get shit on at different points of each story but besides that Makoto I think has a had a lot of great story moments and the plot moved forward when he was introduced. He helped push Takeru and helped convince Alain to change too. Makoto is extremely essential to the plot.

Well see in Black RX, Stronger and Amazon they would just help random people who needed help, which Random people go to Takeru to help. So it is very much has a Showa-Era feel to it and I wouldn't be surprised with it being an anniversary season.

I dunno the first half of Drive made me emotional for a little toy car, so I can't really say that it was weak and after that shit ending of Gaim I couldn't wait for Drive all the time afterwards.

Now this might be a thing of tastes but the Paranormal/Supernatural/Ghost elements with the historical figures I love the hell out of and the Android Threat/Cop Drama/Superhero elements made Drive amazing too. If it would have ended better I would've been fine with Biblical Break Dance Fighting Fruit too but I wasn't.

This thread is called 'Let's RANT about Riders'. Kiwami has all the right in the world to criticize the show. The story is lazy, a fan would have to admit that Takeru getting resurrected 3 times is absurd, and in no way justifiable as all 15 Eyecons are around Takeru. The threat of staying dead no longer hold meaning as Takeru would only need 5 minutes offscreen

Onari. Best comedic character. Pick one, Bravo worked because he was over the top camp gay. Sasword worked because he was over the top 'muh noblesse oblige' combined with his over the top ignorance. Onari isn't over the top, he just yells a lot. Hell, I remember getting pain in my eyes when he yelled "A DRAGON?!" out of nowhere.

Ghost isn't an anniversary season. It has next to no references outside of spinoffs. Fourze worked as an anniversary season because all the characters were based on previous Riders if you played with their names, not to mention Fourze not only acknowledges previous Riders, but was planned to have older Riders appear in the show
If by 'weak and shit ending' you mean the stuff with Jam, then you're not looking at the 'ending', but an epilogue, there's a difference.


Not tackling the Drive argument because I enjoyed the first half too

Again, pretend the epilogue doesn't exist. Same applies to W.

Something else I'd like to complain about Riders. Movie Exclusive Forms. Outside of Fourze, no MEF was later referenced in the show. TaJaDor and Boost debuted in movies, yes, but that doesn't work as the shows themselves get different explanations
