Man this was actually really good. If they can make this crossover stuff work like this every year I might start being cool with it. I'm impressed Ghost managed to have a great finale and follow it up with another great finale. There's just so much good stuff here.

It makes Genm's appearance last week less random and stupid in retrospect. It justifies the crossover by having Ex-Aid and Ghost interact in a brief passing the torch moment that perfectly ties into Ghost's themes and still leaves the next Movie War with something to work with, since this was mostly a short tease. I seriously can't get over that. This is about as smoothly incorporated as I think this stuff will ever get. WAY better than how Drive did it by far.

They even did a completely justified Inoue *misunderstanding* by having Takeru going off of a pencil sketch of Genm which naturally looks exactly like Ex-Aid without the color. That's honestly kind of amazing, for such a minor plot-point. Also, Alain draws some nice fan-art.

So yeah, Ghost is kind of a misunderstood masterpiece in my eyes at this point. Or at least it's pretty good. I find it kind of crazy it's gotten some of the sheer hatred I've seen. The middle-ground that finds it "mediocre" to "meh" I can sort of understand but proper hatred? Surely there are better Rider shows to hate than Ghost. Kiva and Decade are right over there, guys, come on.

Oh and Ex-Aid looks cool. That theme song is so different and unique. I hope the show follows suit.
