Gaim and Drive were both worth watching. Though, Gaim's ending sucked and Drive's ending was the best part.

It is kind of funny how like half the cast's role in drive is to get Tomari out of his funks after Kouta spent most of his show in one for one reason or another. Dude just had no one to confide in most of the time.

Yeah, I like the visual effects a lot. I'm not so sure about the two people so dedicated to their gimmicks that they completely forgot their friend had just died, though.

I do think it is neat how they aren't limiting themselves to japanese luminaries. Like sure, Edison was a huge jerk, but his inclusion is better than the usual trip up the rear end of japanese history.

Kouta's problem was that he fundamentally didn't trust people enough to confide in them. So, he did the lone tormented hero thing for most of the show when he really didn't have to. He was willing to cooperate during fights, but the idea of letting anyone know what was bothering him never really came up. And man, did Kouta ever have a lot of stuff bothering him.

That comes down to a lack of trust. Protecting people from harsh truths means you don't believe they can handle it. Not wanting to make a fuss means you don't believe they would want to know and would be willing to help. Plus, he was just plain wrong about his supposed friends. Micchy and all of his bullshit aside, everyone else stepped up and came together when the world went to poo poo. If they could handle a looming apocalypse they could have handled knowing all the stuff Kouta kept secret.

Omnicrom posted:If the next Movie Wars has a bit where Lord Baron and Heart team up to fight the bad guys it will instantly become a 10/10 movie for me. Too bad, it will be all about a new secret rider who is the strongest ever, even stronger than the previous 5 or so secret riders who were also the strongest ever. None of the participants in the big brawl scene will actually get lines.

Omnicrom posted:I'd heard at least lukewarm things about the first anime series. At least it doesn't get the drubbing that GARO 3 and 5 have earned. Lukewarm is about right. For the minute or so of a horse surfing on a giant sword you have to deal with a whole lot of tedium. Except s1 of the garo anime, because that show was amazing.

I guess they ran out of actual historical figures already. Understandable, as it isn't like there are a whole lot of notable dead people to draw from. The 4th eyecon will be goku.

Ooh, it would sure be neat if later on the ganma somehow included the enemies of ghost's ghosts. But that would require someone other than sperglords to know and care that tesla ever existed, so I don't think it is very likely.

Larryb posted:Also, based on summaries I've seen it looks like this Movie Wars will be more akin to a Sentai VS movie (as in, one continuous story involving both riders) rather than the 3 act structure of past movies. Good. The 3 act movies are all completely poo poo.

Boy howdy, episode 3 of ghost was a mess. First, Akari only managed to be useful via recreating Takeru's dad's work, and even then she was stuck until the sage helped her out. So really, her only contribution was putting together a confetti sprayer. Then there is the weirdness of how directly following the inspiration of robin hood to steal and redistribute wealth (is receiving stolen goods not a crime in japan?) was horrible and wrong. Afterward, she decided to do the exact opposite as her public domain role model with her non-existent journalism career (have fun with that felony conviction!), which then caused the eyecon to appear. Like, I don't care that they are weird and inaccurate about robin hood, and I don't really see why anyone else would either. But the whole "stealing is wrong no matter what but we will still call a thief heroic" was just sloppy writing. It is a show for kids, so I get why they couldn't condone theft, but in that case why use robin hood to begin with? It is like if at the end of the first episode, Takeru made a speech about how killing 100 people with swords is really bad and he doesn't condone that sort of behavior.

Oh, it is perfectly understandable for him to give up fighting the dude who consistently and effortlessly beats his rear end. But he ran away without the eyecon, even though it was the one he had an emotional connection with. Takeru's catchphrase of "I believe in myself" rings rather hollow at the moment.

I think he just needs to find his core motivation that isn't saving his own rear end. I'm reserving judgment on the show until then.

The monk guy is the detective here, but neither he nor anyone else ever acknowledges this fact. I mean, it isn't like any of his knowledge of the supernatural is even remotely relevant. So, he repeatedly serves as a plot device to bring the rider together with the ghost he is supposed to fight.

I kinda wish that every episode didn't start with him moping in the basement until someone comes to drag his rear end out.

Darth TNT posted:Hikikimori's? You are seriously overestimating her competence. She followed someone else's directions to make a ghost revealer, but got stuck and had to be helped out. Then a couple episodes later said device was made completely obsolete when the old man simply gave them a superior alternative. Her vague 'science skills' don't seem to have any more relevance than the monk's enthusiasm for the supernatural. Akari is not Rinna, and has no particular knowledge of rider-based technology. But then, much like the monk her role probably isn't based on her interests at all. She snatched that eyecon last episode like a boss, and seems to be Takeru's primary emotional support. In other words, Akari's guts are more relevant than her smarts.

Acne Rain posted:why are you so concerned that akari does ALL of her mad science with no help whatsoever. I would like it if she did any of it. But Ghost is magic-based (or maybe extradimensional science, who knows?), and Akari isn't a magician. She tried to do one science thing and wasn't up to the task. Maybe that will change in the future, but for now it is more of a character quirk than a useful ability.

My guess is that something happened behind the scenes to cause the glitter launcher to be introduced at all, and then it was soon ditched for a plastic piece of crap they could sell to kids. But who knows, it could have just as easily been awkward writing.
