I'm personally really enjoying it, but what I like about it could be what you dislike about it. What gave you bad vibes?

You know, last week I acted so sure this would just be the usual alright-ish Mouri episode, but I guess I forgot the way most Zi-O episode pairs work: the second part is always the best one.
Not that it's some particular thing to that series, of course. It's only logical the exciting climax be way more entertaining than the part that has to be burdened with all the setup, but... well, that's exactly what happened here. It's a really strong episode that touches on Touma's character a bit deeper and lets Ogami mellow out just a bit while also making time to do a ton of little things I loved. For example, how Mei got to be actively helpful in resolving the problem this early, or how, despite Saber and Blades going straight to a powerup form right away this early, we still see the base forms prominently in the ending fight against Calibur. They also pull the "really strong forms make you tired" thing right out of OOO, which gives me further hope we can finally have a Rider with a ton of forms that doesn't forget about their main one again. At least for a while, please? The gradual way the overarching plot is being built up is something I'm finding pretty interesting as well. Just these little bits of new information being dropped every episode that get payed off and expanded on at a rapid enough pace to be satisfying. Like Calibur and Espada apparently being the focus next week after giving us a little taste this time. I like that kind of thing. There's a good sense of momentum so far.

Last week we learned you do not mess with the Dad Rider.
This week, YOU DO NOT MESS WITH TINKERBELL. Seriously, that finisher had me rolling for just how amazingly absurd it was, I never thought Tinkerbell being infused by electricity and fire slamming a monster with a lariat to full destroy them would be things I'd see. It definitely helps brings up Touma's unique and revolutionary way of fighting! Which while standard tricks have been working for the other Knights, it's definitely Touma's ingenuity that's going to allow him to keep up and get the wins in certain cases. This was a real nice episode, Desast was pretty cool and I can't wait to see more of him. It was also nice to see Buster mellow out a bit more once everything started lining up. Also it definitely didn't run into the same issue of "Henshin, Henshin, Form Change, Form Change, Form Change, Henshin, Finish" stock footage back to back like the prior episode had run into since they very nicely spaced all that out. |

Some design inspirations about Desast according to the official site. He's based on all three books types at once. His mythical creature is the Fenrir, his living creature is the Japanese Tiger Beetle, and his storybook is The Singing Bone.

ah so he is a 3 book enemy already. That kind of enemy is probably meant to be around for some time.
also forgot to mention how Daishinji was strangely kept in the back again. Why bother showing him if just like this ? |

Ah three books huh? He'll be sticking around for quite a bit then, not too long though I feel.
And by that I mean we'll probably see him around long enough for everyone to get their Full Elemental Match Forms to try and compete with and overtake him. |

It's also more 'imaginative' I would say. I think is too early to say it's childish. But it takes you away from your comfort zone by having so much henshin stock footage and with the dancing ending. The acting is meh, but so was Aruto and he ended up growing on me, so I think they just need to tone down their exaggerated faces. So, answering your question, you could give it a second try. If you're still unsure, you could wait until episode 10 or 12 to know how it's going. |

The Tinkerbell finisher won me over.
I like how the boys didn't seem one bit surprised that Mei was among the captives in the bubbles, like it's completely expected she would find a way to stumble into a portal after they left. |

This show does nothing for me. I feel like I wasted 20 minutes of my Sunday and that's not a good sign. At all.
