Really, between episode 28 and the HBV, it's kind of a shame that Kobayashi didn't get to write more with Agito's cast. It seemed like she had a great grasp on the characters, based on the two short chances she got to prove it. This is a pretty definitive HBV, actually. Interactions between the cast that give you a good feel for how the series works (namely: Shouichi and Hikawa are hilarious, and Ryou desperately needs a hug), some token exclusive action, and some pointless trivia for the fun of it. I especially like how it treats the three Riders with such equal weight (the plot literally revolves around how hard it is to say one of them is for sure cooler and better than the others), which, as I'm sure I mentioned in this thread before, is the absolute core of what makes Agito special in my eyes.
Oooh, this was a Kobayashi one? Neat! (No credits on the ol' Rider Wiki, unfortunately.) A pretty fun prelude to Den-O, then, I guess!
My favorite thing about Shouichi and Hikawa is something she nails in this one. Hikawa's go to is A Thin Layer Of Pride Over A Deep Well Of Inadequacy, while Shouichi's thing is Goofy Deflection Of How Awesome And Cool He Is Because He Doesn't Want Other People To Feel Bad. You put those two things together, and it's like an ouroboros of You're Great/No,
You're
Great. This non-stop interaction of Hikawa's certainty that he's a failure and Shouichi's need to make other people feel good about themselves. It's Shouichi trying to praise Hikawa, which only makes Hikawa more certain that Shouichi is better than him.
(why does that all sound so familiar)
I love it? I
love
it.
