Thanks! I'm just as psyched to get to Blade as I am Faiz. Kamen Rider is a very fun franchise!

I mean, boy, I would, it's very nice of you to link to it, but my plate is pretty full right this second. Work has become a 24/7 thing, I got personal life stuff I gotta catch up on (why does laundry always
need
to be done, why is it never actually
done
) and my Kamen Rider bandwidth is pretty well spoken for. I'll try, is kind-of the best I can say. It's not going to be real quick, honestly. But thanks!

I think she purposefully wants her fans to just catch what they see happen in her story and make their own theories/assumptions about it, like what I explained about this before. So I think making theories to explain something is plausible when talking about Kobayashi's work.
I mean, I watched her OOO series, and I don't recall feeling nearly as adrift and unfulfilled as I did off of her Ryuki plot.
The problem with Show Don't Tell is that, the more unfamiliar the terrain, the less the viewer is able to infer what the writer is trying to imply. Shiro's such a withholding character that a lot of what might've been intended didn't really come through, at least as far as the Rider Battles go. (The stuff with Yui is a little easier to get a grip on.) The mechanics of the plot are so seemingly contradictory, or at least unclear, that it's hard to even guess why some of these things are happening to the characters.
It's going to make for a subjective viewing experience. For folks who love to create fan theories, who feel like a show is a jumping-off point for the
real
story, I'm sure Ryuki has a lot to offer, plot-wise. For me, I was looking for more robust story from a writer than what I got, I guess.
