Kamen Rider Ghost Episode 1- "OPEN MY EYES!" Discussion

TokuChris · 10-06-2015, 11:18 AM

The only thing I do not like about this series in one episode is that I'm getting annoying Wizard vibes. I'm waiting for the belt to yell "PUHREASE" at some point. Sounds like they got the voice over guy who did the Gokaiger call outs but mixed him with the Wizard voice over guy for this series.

Gonna say it now. He finds the other 12 Eyecons in the first 25 episodes, then for the next 25 he'll have a bigger mystery on his hands to get number 13 and 14. That way they can shill out all 15 accessory toy weapons as quickly as possible to the kiddies.

Hero:
Wow, he's lazy. But he's got integrity. But he's lazy. I suppose having 98 days to get it done is a real kick in the seat though.

Comedy Relief:
Story wise, the background comedy characters gave off a very Den-O in the Coffee Shop vibe, the Ghost Lair looks like a reshell of Fourze's base of operations.

Suit:
Why oh why did they put clear plastic boobs on his chest? It's like Prince Adam to He Man with that suit. The mid henshin suit with the blank faceplate is VERY cool, but I just don't dig the chest after transformation. Everything else is fine, even the blade in the back of Musashi's form head. I also like the Faiz henshin into the suit.

Also, way, way too many musical cues from the weapons. I do like that it works on an IR sight for the driver to the accessories.

Bad guys:
Teeeeeeeeeeeth. And pretty boys.

Overall, a good start. The powerups are gonna come fast and furious though.

And now, gummies.

Liked the first episode a lot. I like how Ghost seems to fight in more rural areas like Blade and Hibiki did and not just the city. And even the city seems more coast/beach based which is cool. Interesting that they went with a spiritual/Buddhist vibe more than a spoooooky ghost one but I did that a lot so far.

I hope Sage offers more information about himself, what exactly the ganma are and why they want the eyecons. And how the eyecons came to be for that matter.

Yurusen doesn't bother me. It just appears to be a sarcastic advisor and that kind of humor appeals to me more than...whatever Drive did, as Kiwami stated earlier. Takeru's two friends seem like interesting side charavtwrs. I look forward to their character development regarding the supernatural stuff going on.

Looking forward to Takeru's character development as well once he gets more used to his ghostly powers and discovers what connection the eyecons have to his dad. I figure hell be going through a lot of stress next episode what with the 98 days to live thing. Hope he gets more night fights though!

Not much to say on the villains yet, but I like the Ganma designs. The footsoldiers do remind me of Showa Rider villain troops with their designs and the fact that they have belts. Interesting that the main monsters seem to be upgraded versions of the footsoldiers.

So far, it doesn't seem to be as bad as the side characters in Drive....

I liked it. Takeru is a bit of a derp, but I have a feeling he'll grow on me like Ryutaro from Den-O. The secondary characters aren't too bad. Nothing too annoying for me to complain about. Yusuren was a little grating, but I would be lying if I said I wouldn't buy one if I had the chance

The action was a little bit standard, though. I did like when he got the Musashi soul, though. That part was cool.

For the design in action, it was nice. I do like the Ghost suit, but the clear window over the chest is brow raising. Still not a fan of the belt. Too chunky. I also don't like all the noise things made. It seemed every action had a damn song to go along with it.

I also like the story set up and the strict time limit. Gives a sense of urgency. I also like the fading in and out situation.

Beautiful advice.

Anyone notice how Musashi's topknot is a katana hilt?
