Not when it keeps making episodes like this.

I didn't really like this episode much either. The message was good but the rest... nope.

Didn’t get much of a kick out of Takeru, Onari and the Professor dude cross-dressing either.

The message was good, but completely kneecapped by having it delivered from an adult man dressed like Little Red Riding Hood and a woman wearing a giant plush apple on her head.

Sometime I am always feels they make Rider Ghost's story into more lighthearted after some serious moments (Adonis's death and Fumi's death).

I hope in up to episode 38, they not use victim of the week again and more focus to important characters....

It seems Sanzo will has his own episodes in 36-37 especially about Alain trained by Sanzo (I hope thats mean we will get Alain obtain new upgrade in the future episodes). So the rest Damashii must be connected by Takeru after Sanzo is Billy the Kid and Beethoven....

Don't forget Toucon Boost hasn't used Edison & Newton yet.

I wish Alain/Necrom would get an upgrade to keep up with Takeru & Makoto.

That power it's using could kill his mortal body. There must be a special Eyecon that can be made for Necrom to take away that destructive power.

You guys are really resenting KAMEN RIDER of all things for being overly silly? How DARE my Japanese live action children's toy commercial about karate bugmen be lighthearted and goofy!

For real though, I had fun with this one. Mugen continues to grow on me little-by-little, and I'm really enjoying the "I give zero shits about your attacks" sort of fighting style.

Can I just say I enjoyed the look on Adel's face after Water's failed attempt at attacking Takeru. It felt really great to just see him realize, "Shit, these guys aren't listening to me... and their getting themselves killed."

The problem for me is that Kamen Rider used to take itself seriously. It still promoted the tie-in merch, but it tried to tell a serious story that could entertain kids but still provide some engaging action and drama for older audiences. Ever since Fourze, it seems like Rider has shifted its demographic to be younger with more bright colors, loud noises, and cheap slapstick comedy. We're at a point where this year's Super Sentai feels more mature than the current Rider series, and that show stars a bunch of people wearing goofy animal heads.

I don't need the main Rider show to be just like Amazons, but I don't want it to be full of characters in silly apple hats running around in front of cartoon houses and drawing on each others' faces, either.

other series done plenty of advertising for gimmicks/toys, but done it better

more integrated, less goofy

And even then it was at least we'll done. Like Fourze is about as lighthearted as Ghost, if not moreso and it's leagues better, imo.
