Is Ghost the worst show in all of Rider? I don't think so(I'd say that's Decade), but I also wouldn't say it's one of the best either. It just kinda... is. Personally, I felt alot of what it went for was done alot better in Wizard.

Alain's character arc was one of the best parts of Ghost for sure, even people who generally dislike Ghost usually agree with that. The Heroic Legend of Alain specials do a great job at showing his fear of living as a human, without trying to sugarcoat it or anything. Specter Rebirth is a movie I've come to appreciate a lot more on rewatch and not just cause it looks cool either, but I honestly think it's a pretty satisfying conclusion to the Makoto Doppelganger and Ganma World subplots, while setting up the continuation of Takeru's story in the Memories of the Future novel.

It sucks to hear that you ultimately didn't end up joining the rest of us Ghost lovers, but at least you found a few things to enjoy about it. The comparison to Wizard is apt and I think a lot of the stuff I like about that show is the reason why I like Ghost as well. They're both about accepting that tragedy is a part of life and finding the strength to keep living despite that and I think it's smart how Ghost uses the theme of emotions to show that the human heart is a strength with infinite potential, not a weakness.

Well, given the overall message of the show, I had a few songs I could've went with, but I ultimately went with "Live Life" by Crush 40; A song about the ups and downs of life and how that very aspect is what makes it worth living. Very fitting, I think.

That title is only 2 "A"s short of Alive A Life though. You ain't trying to Ryukiroll me, riiiight?
