Like in many cases the main characters are just considered less good than side characters, like if it's inherent thing.



Yeah, there are those who'd dislike Ghost due to employing lighthearted traits making it bad, which that one I wouldn't agree at all; it's a misguided take of seeing only dark as good. I'd want for Ghost to keep its usual theme (Alain being considered written well is a part of that theme too), but the execution (would you think of Kuuga as lighthearted; only among the human cast?), and disagree on the "catering to the masses" solution... including if the lighthearted solution is to make everyone over the top (well, Onari already is) like Fourze or such.

My concern isn't so much tone as much as it is how things are playing out in general. Even if Ghost were as dark as say, Amazonz, I'd still probably have the same criticisms that I do.

Or maybe it's just cuz I'm a big fan of the Joker suit and sometimes think it looks better than W proper.

I'm in the camp that Philip should've stayed dead; Atleast for the ending of the season proper. Teach kids about handling loss and letting Shotaro find a way to move forward in his life.

It would be nice if Takeru ever actually acknowledged his father's' own soul though. It's only ever brought up, like, once, towards the start of the Second First Act. Like yeah the stakes are there, but considering Takeru's' dad isn't someone I'm particularly attached to, it rings a tad hallow.

Anyway, guys, I'm thinking of finally starting Kamen Rider Blade next month to complete the Heisei Era. Any advice or production tips I should know about?

The only thing I'll warn you about is when it comes to the first episode: No, you did not infact open the second episode by mistake
