I know what you mean. The creative team behind the anime went on in pre-release interviews about how much of an inspiration "GeGeGe no Kitarou" was to them but I don't feel like faithfully replicating that show within the Digimon franchise worked.Digimon Ghost Game episode 25. This show is now about halfway (considering most Digimon anime have around 50 episodes) but to be honest, I've not been feeling it yet. I miss Adventure 2020...
For starters, the mystery set-up then leading into a battle does not have enough time to be settled in one episode each week, they should have been two-parters at the minimum which would not only give each episodic story the time to breath but also cut down on the number of perceived fillers. Secondly, the lack of an ongoing narrative or antagonist has been aggravating as it deprives the heroes of something to grow in opposition to. The reason it worked in Kitarou is because that series has a massive cast of characters and it will allow Kitarou to be in an episode for as few as five minutes in order to let others shine, but Ghost Game always has to have the same six characters in every episode so it chews up time and prevents the COTDs from being memorable or well developed.
Anyways that was just me ranting.
