[Xtreme RX]

Great start to the Ghost arc. The story behind Another Ghost is very unique and I am excited to see how they will defeat him without killing the host. Takeru, Narita and Shibuya got fairly big roles and we returned to a lot of classic Ghost sets in the Tenkuji manor (though it did feel a little odd without Onari) so it definitely felt like a faithful tribute to Ghost.

As for Decade, I love that they are portraying him as more powerful than either Sougo or Geiz. It's pretty awesome to see the Agito and Hibiki suits absolutely WIPING the floor with current Riders. I'm also really glad to see a Rider alumni actually return with their power intact. It just makes it all the more special. And it looks like we're getting Ghost and Specter next episode as well, so I'm very excited to see that. Tsukasa didn't use any phase 2 Rider forms yet so I am guessing they were planning on saving that surprise for next week (looks like he assumes Ghost's form). I'm intrigued as to why he is working with the Time Jacker's, and how Woz even knows him in the first place.

The .5 episode this time dealt with Takeru explaining how the "ghostly" special effects won't deflate budget because they aren't hard to pull off. But it quickly becomes a Q/A with him about whether or not Drive will return like he did, and Sougo mistaking the plot of Ghost with Dragon Ball. Another beauty. Honestly I wouldn't mind if they made a full-length anniversary series in the vein of these spin-offs.
