This is very true. Fukuda has worked on Sin Specter, and the Drive movie and those I believe were well-received and they were only about and hour and a half in terms of length.

Personally, I don't see Saber falling in the same pit as Ghost. As long as Fukuda doesn't leave along with all the material for it. I'd see something like Blade where it got progressively good or maybe Wizard where it's just okay.

Writing for a 50-episode length story is a very big challenge for many writers, and I guess only a handful are really capable of writing that long. Especially when you've been in this genre or franchise for so long. You'll run out of steam, eventually.

I'm gonna go on a tangent and reiterate this opinion I have and say that Kamen Rider needs fresh blood. Shogo Muto and Gen Urobuchi were very welcoming guests to work on Kamen Rider. Regardless of what you feel about their shows, Build and Gaim have become one of Kamen Rider's most successful series. The only thing I think holding Toei back is they probably think they don't want ""outsiders"" to meddle with their golden goose Kamen Rider, but it should've been an incentive for them to bring in new talent with what Build and Gaim did.

This is one thing I want to see with Rider, but I feel it won't happen for a while since next year's rider would be definitely coinciding with the 50th anniversary and we'll most likely have Ohmori and/or Inoue to work on the show.
