Drive SUPER DYNAMIC COOKING TIME
Yeah, this episode felt super rushed. The focus on the villains is pretty good though, as is the Medic/Gou and Heart/Shinnosuke parallels.
Favorite moment was Gou and Shin activating their super modes and Chase just going "oh yeah, lemme grab my axe".

Just saw the leak scan for Kamen Rider Ghost, I mistook it as Deadpool at first glance.
But either way I like what I see and can't wait to watch Kamen Rider Ghost when it starts airing.
Anyway Ninninger 21 was fun, which is surprising as I don't usually like sport base episode.
Drive however was pretty good and I don't mind the police investigation being rushed if meant that Heart and Medic could have more screen time and build up to Heart hyper evolution.
Chase is like hmm I don't need no super mode.

I realized in this week's Drive, counting the flashback with DeadHeat, we actually saw all of his forms in one episode.

no matter how much American localization of toku shows went, be fortunate that you did not produce garbage called this

Shaider was pretty big in my country. So many years later (around late 2000's) a network decided to make their own take on Shadier. My country however runs on the fact that everything in TV must be soap opera. So imagine shitty CGI + terrible choreography + soap opera... in a fucking space sheriff attempt.
Apparently despite giving rights to do it Toei disassociated themselves from it.
Don't worry I declare it persona non grata

Spectre's weapon is literally one of those extending-claws everyone's grandmother has. That toy has gotta sell a shit load, I mean, who didn't love playing with those as a kid?
Don't think I can post it since iirc it's a magazine scan. I saw it on /m/ earlier, although I'm unsure if it was legit or one of those mock-up S.I.C. models. It looked real, though.
Huh, most people seem to agree you're at the part where it got decent (or good, if you already enjoyed it). The next few episodes are pretty non-stop.

Well, hopefully it's not a problem then.
The storyline certainly attempted to become more serious; but it is just falling flat to me. Mach's "He's my father!" story just seems cliche and uninspired, the character that was introduced to just annoy the main characters is also annoying me, the action is underwhelming and bland, and I don't care at all whatsoever about the whereabouts of the villain.

You might either really like or really hate the next few episodes then...
Gou in general seems kind of a weird character. It's like the story was supposed to be mainly about Shin and Chase, but then Gou had to be brought on as the mandatory secondary rider.
Isn't it from Hyper Hobby, a magazine?
Im referring to the ghost stuff!

Yeah, I've heard Gou was added by Bandai for more toys. I imagine Mashin Chaser, since he already had his own toys and cross-compatibility with the Shift Cars, might have ended up turning good like he did in the show, but I bet he would've stayed as Mashin Chaser, an unofficial Rider, instead of getting a new Rider form based on Mach's Belt.
Of course being added 'cuz toys doesn't automatically make a character bad or anything, but that may explain why he feels very directionless around the mid-point of the show.
Oh lol you're right. It's an ad, essentially.
At least he's not simply left behind with no explanation, unlike some shows

I dunno, it seemed like the Roidmude in this week's episode really did have a relationship with the chef dude.

That is a weird design for Mage.
Well, hopefully it's not a problem then.
It came across like he was hooked on the power more than the roidmode.

By the way, Edison's call out is "Electric! Hirameki!" (Hirameki works apparently just like our "flash", as it can be a flash of lightning or inspiration), while Musashi, as I can see, is just "Nitouryuu!" (Two-Sword Style).
Those Ghost suits... so tasty. Need a full body shot before judging the designs though.

So, Ghost gets Edison, Newton, and Musashi. Spectre gets Tut and Nobunaga like I guessed.
Robin is probably Ghost and Billy the Kid is probably Spectre? That leave Beethoven and Benkei.

Apparently all the call-outs seem to rhyme...but this will probably be lost when O-T translated most of them.
Robin's, though, won't...since it's "Hello! Arrow!" in katakana.

That SIC Mage is trying way too hard to let you know she's a female rider. It's kinda gross. I dislike the SIC line in general (mainly because I hate the way the head designs look on Rider suits), but that's an extra layer of awful.
Ghost stuff is shaping up, though. I don't dig it as much as Drive's stuff, but his suits are some of my all time favorites so that's not a huge diss. Gimmick is cooler than TK. Interested to see who the villain designs turn out. It'll certainly be hard to keep up with Drive on that front.

Until they ran out of all the other colored-paints and made everyone red...the design basis was also all over the place. You'd think the generals would all be like body parts and such like Heart and Brain, but then you have Medic, Freeze, and Gale.
And then the minor ones were like the Gaia Memories in that they were basically anything. Paint, Cook, Judge, etc.
I imagine the Ganma, the villains of Ghost, are probably going to have lots of eyes in their design and everything. Wonder if they're be based off Yokai, or other supernatural creatures...maybe they'll go back to animals.

The forms for Ghost all look pretty nice.
Also, it appears as if the Ghost Eyecons don't include any electronics (like the Gaia Memories or Lockseeds), but instead will be more like the batteries in Kyoryuger in that they'll change appearance by hitting a button on them (which means all of the sounds are on the Ghost Driver itself).

Apparently there's gonna be some special event in Japan where they'll be revealing more of Drive's backstory (the stuff we don't get in the show now), focusing on Dr. Banno. Damn.

It looked weird to me, since I have a certain preconception if Ultraman. I think I'd jam with a live action UM with a CG monster.

So...the Condor Phone in Ghost isn't the usual cell-phone, it's an old rotary phone. 
Seems all of Ghost's stuff's old-fashioned, with the Bat Clock being an analog clock and the Spider Lantern. Apparently the Cobra Mobile is Spectre's, and it's much more hi-tech.
The leads?
Ultraman Ginga had one of the HYPEST themes in all of Toku though. Seriously, this was amazing. Wish it was on a better show.
