I could probably rant about Ghost for days. The show sucks. It's terrible. The action is decent at best, comedy is atrocious, suit design is meh, characters are absolute garbage, and the story is complete crap.

There's nothing enjoyable about this shit. The only good part about it is that it's gonna be over soon.

I can’t rant about Decade because for me it doesn't exist and it never will, and the only other problem with a show I have at the moment is Faiz. I want to watch it because I want to complete all of Heisei except the one that doesn’t exist for me.

But god damn is it horrible. The freakin’ drama is over the top, suit design does nothing for me and I hate the female sidekick. And to be honest the protagonist isn’t much better. I have some time on my hands now so I might continue with Faiz but I don’t expect to be entertained.

I'll never understand why people don't understand the massive writing flaws of Gaim or even people who like Kouta for that matter. The other characters except for Marika are pretty good and intriguing but Gaim and Marika are two of the worst characters in Kamen Rider. I mean seriously they make Delta from Faiz look the like one of the best characters ever.

Besides that I don't understand why people don't like Ghost, it has one of the best casts and stories. Onari and Akari grow so much and aren't annoying like they used to be. It has that Showa Era vibe of helping people like he's basically a new Kamen Rider Black. I love the friendship aspect of it too and Takeru believing in his friends too. I guess I'm optimistic and like optimistic characters and people just don't like him because they are either pessimistic or realistic. Though Ghost just like OOO reminds me of Kingdom Hearts in multiple ways and that's what I really like about both series a lot. Also Makoto and Alain get great arcs too.

I will also not understand why people didn't like Drive that was a fantastic series with some of the best Riders ever.

Other things I could rant on are why the Showa Era Riders don't get much love, I could talk about Stronger, Super-1, Black RX, or other shows so much because of how ridiculous and awesome they are but it's like always about either the Heisei Era or the Neo-Heisei Era.

I also don't understand why people care about Insert Songs in Ghost, I mean Ghost has some of the best insert music in Kamen Rider, I freaking love Necrom's theme. Sure they don't have lyrics but the music can still get you hyped.

Well that's all I can think of right now, but that felt good ranting about it lol.

Because half of them aren't fully subbed, and those that are weren't done by TV-Nihon or Overtime so people don't pay attention to them - that's all there really is to it. You'll always get people that won't watch them because they're old or whatever, but ultimately people aren't going to seek out things that a) aren't readily accessible or b) done by a group that they show unnecessary loyalty to.

No it doesn’t, that’s why people don't like it.

A few episodes ago Onari doodled on a sleeping Alain’s face; he still does this shit whenever they make room for it.

And where does Onari grow exactly? Akari I can understand because she constantly rises to the challenge, but Onari doesn’t. There’s two points in the entire show where he did something worthwhile: One, dealing with Javel. Second, fighting against the Knive Ganma.

He never did anything noteworthy outside of these two points, and if he did something to help out it’s always coupled with bullshit comedy like him playing a punk to get Takeru und co. into Deep Connect or him being possessed by Goemon. And we can’t really know if he grows because we know nothing about who he is. He teased once that he was sinful in the past but Takerus dad saved him, never is this mentioned again and never do they built upon it.

Akari grows as a character, Onari doesn’t. He’s the weakest comedic relief filler in a long time.

I don’t see that at all. It’s just the familiar episodic adventures style but worse than usual.

Alain I give you, he's the most well developed character in the show, but Makoto? Nah. Most if not all of his arcs are either about him being absent or they’re trash. Like his "using Houdini’s power"-arc… where talking with Houdini is done through getting run over by a motorcycle frequently. WTF.

Because the first half is really, really weak. And we know that because the second half is so much better. So it’s easy to see why people don’t enjoy Drive: Having to watch half a show to get to the good part is not the most entertaining thing to do.

The KH comparison works surprisingly well now that I think about it. There are people who like the "FUCK YEAH FRIENDS" story, or there are people who cringe at the "Who will I eat ice cream with?"-tier quality of the story

The lyrical themes are good to play in the background when listening to music and stand out more, not to mention KR has a track record for amazing songs, Ranbu Escalation, Spinning Wheel, Leave All Behind, Supernova, Lord of the Speed, Ride the Wind, etc. Necrom's theme is badass but when has it ever been played after he joined the good guys? Not to mention it's hard to track down on the internet. (This is the part where I whine for a link to Necrom's theme) The show's OST itself is good, but the vocal tracks stand out a lot more than the others. I remember the theme in Kuuga when Godai would start a fight, I remember the same for W, the 'hissatsu' music for Kabuto and Wizard, Gaim's Kiwami track, but that's literally it

I swear, I'm gonna watch something Showa next! It's just taken me a little a while to work my way over to the point where I'm ready to tackle one.

tbh Showa stuff is REALLY cheesy, I watched Amazon and an episode of Stronger. It's so damn ridiculous that one could say it doesn't hold up to today's standards. It's why I'd love an Amazonz-ish Stronger

Watch. Black.

TBH, If I have to rant about the Kamen Rider Shows that I don't like, That would be Wizard.

It was boring! They says Drive and Ghost are not good show but how about Wizard?! The characters are more dull than Drive and Ghost! Some of their episodes are RUBBISH! Don't get me started on that bird one! I felt this one got be the WEAKEST Kamen Rider show of Phase 2! Their theme song are so rubbish! This singer really botched the song! I just hated that show! Beast didn't play any important role at all beside sacrifice his belt to save humanity I think

RUBBISH! RUBBISH! RUBBISH!
