I think it would have been better had there not been a lyrical insert song in the background. The two kind of clashed. That said, I do hope he doesn't drag out that sequence longer than it needs to be now that it's established; just have it say "Gangunminaa!" once or twice (instead of like five or six times) before activating the finisher.

Very cool and enjoyable episode. I hope the rest of the show will turn out good.

Watched it with subs, I really enjoyed this. The characters and actors are likable, the action is good, the music is really awesome with the traditional Japanese vibes and Yurusen isn't as bad as I feared. Actually I think the little dude is kinda fun with his snippy personality.

I’ll definitely continue watching this.

There wasnt much in terms of new information I got through the subs but ist still nice to get everything in a language I understand a bit more than japanese

Its fun so far. Gonna look forward to next week.

It was a very awesome episode. I enjoyed it a lot. Takeru is a very interesting character, I love his spirit and wanting to be a hero like the famous heroes. I enjoy the supporting cast Onari is fun and I forget the girl's name but her being interested in Science and not believing in Ghosts is perfect balance here. I am intrigued with the plot of finding the other Eyecons. The suit's lights are awesome and I loving the action, the Eyecons, the bike, and the change to Musashi as well. I can't wait for more.

Was a good episode, I like how it left quite a bit still unexplained so the first episode didn't feel like one big info dump like the Global Freeze in Drive did.

Characters all seem likeable enough, Yurusen is awesome (although I'm probably basing a lot of that off having just come off Symphogear GX and thinking Aoi Yuuki is awesome). The henshin sequence with the hoody ghosts is brilliant as well.

I think a lot of my enjoyment for this first episode came out of the two big fight sequences being in a forest and on a beach, rather than the usual cityscapes.

Yup, subs confirm I'm going to enjoy this show. The episode felt nicely balanced, I enjoyed the mix of humor, action, and seriousness. Another great cast too.

That was pretty good. Still don't like the belt voice, but maybe it'll grow on me.

[Diamondmatter]

Not bad. I definitely like the gimmick, transformation, and all that, which I'll watch a series for if nothing else.
Takeru isn't as "generic Sentai protagonist" as I feared, and he's actually a pretty good character.

Kinda disappointed about what could have been; time traveling, meeting the people in the eyecons, at least the ghost parkas being sentient.

I can see their formula now: Takeru sets out to collect objects related to historical figures, reads about them, gets all excited about them, then a Ganma appears or he finds an object related to the historical figure where he also finds a Ganma, and its powers and behavior set it up so that that something that historical figure did or is known for is perfect to beat the Ganma, at which point Takeru gets the Eyecon out of the object.

I mean, hopefully not (past the first few episodes anyway), but y'know.

What's the point of first episodes if the first impressions supposedly don't count? It is quite clearly annoying.

We haven't exactly seen the pattern yet, because it's the first episode? I mean, if the character itself bugs you, it bugs you, but we haven't seen if it's going to be pulling gags, making jokes, wisecracking, or just sarcastically guiding Takeru. We haven't fully seen how the show will use the character.

Well I finally watched the episode (yay for subs). I have to say that I really enjoyed it. The characters seem pretty fun and from what we were given could lead to some interesting character growth. I love how Akari is a believer purely of science and Onari is a pure believer of the supernatural, it makes for some fun comedy. It appears that Akari will slowly come to accept that not having is tied in with science, so it should be fun to see if Onari has the opposite growth of believing in science more. Takeru seems like a nice character as well. In the end he'll probably come to the cliche'd "I know what a true hero is moment," but I think it would work here since here he is idlozing all of these other heroes and believing to be one you have to do close to what they did. Sage seems like a more playful version of Sagara.

The designs are cool, especially the monsters.

Overall I really enjoyed the first episode. Whereas Drive lost me super early on, I can see myself watching Ghost to the end.
