So Faiz is basically a commentary about Fear & Irony of New Technology, where you have more ways to communicate but less things to say than ever :v
(*I think my issue was less about why they're not telling each other directly, but more about the show itself dangling the entire thing in obnoxious "ooh they cross each other's path again, will it be revealed this time?? .... of course not" way. But yea, at this point it can still be, ahem, justified.) (And, I'm not even a little mad at the star-crossed nature of the star-crossed lovers, since half of the show has been about Team Orphnoch and Team Faiz crossing paths without realizing it. It's the gimmick of the show right now! And I think it's been pretty fun! Even if all it gave us was Yuuji imploring Takumi to be a better man, I'd defend it to my death, and we've gotten so much more out of it.)

Your (probable) enthusiasm at seeing Houjou in this episode was a thing I have been anticipating since the series started and you did not disappoint I have absolutely nothing constructive to say here, but this 100% made my day today |

Wait, I just remembered! The annoying sighing! Remember that? How he refused to just tell Mari and Takumi what he wanted to talk about, got upset with them for not asking, and then, when Mari asks, immediately backs down from actually talking about it? That's exactly the kind of behavior I'm talking about.
And, when Yuka wants to spend the day with him, she asks him to take her to a place that means a lot to him, where he's happy. And he does it! For a first date, he wants to bring her into his world. I think that's pretty sweet and brave of him. Just my take! Ha ha, happy to help! I can't take any credit, though, it's all Houjou! How can you look at that face and not smile?!

「どこか思い切り楽しい場所に」 Here we have a rather sullen Yuka hoping to cheer herself up a bit by asking Keitarou to take her someplace really fun. Unfortunately, the translator once again got caught up on a single word in the sentence, so the line has been twisted into a much different, more pretentious sounding request. I mean, maybe that amusement park they go to later had sentimental value to Keitarou, I don't know, but Yuka wasn't asking about that!

So Kamen Rider Die, what KRD Watches name do you give Centipede Orphnoch formerly Houjou of Agito?

Houjou! He's only gonna ever have the one name! It's like asking me how I'd repaint the Sistine Chapel. The man is a legend, and he validates this entire program by appearing on it. If anyone on this show deserves our respect, it's Houjou.

It's weird how seeing stuff like that out of order can mess with your head. I remember the first place I saw Peter Capaldi was as Sid's dad in Skins, and then as a terrified government official in Torchwood, so when I eventually saw him in In The Loop and he's this vulgar force-of-nature, I was like Wait THAT Guy?! I didn't realize how the stuff I'd seen of his was the out-of-character stuff, not the swearing bonanza of his Malcolm Tucker work.

Aw, dang! I watched Agito way after I watched Amazons, and I don't even remember her dad from Season Two. That's a bummer! I wonder if that'd've affected how I viewed Houjou. I saw OOO just a few months after Amazons Season 2, and when Dr Maki shows up I recognized him as the lunatic executive from Amazons. Made his Dr Maki stuff feel real weird at first.
