And while I'm not sure how TV filming works, I'm pretty sure the series is still filming as it airs.

Anyway, Ankh's assholishness is in character, since he's a Greed, so he's supposed to be the living embodiment of "I WANT THIS!"
It's not an excuse to force you to like him, but just a mild justification of why he acts that way.

I feel sorry for the actors in that case.

And Ankh to me feels like one of the stars of Sweet 16, I find his immaturity disgusting and a pain to watch. I spend every episode wanting to repeatedly kick him in the balls and not in a fun way.

I mean, he is a bad guy. It's not like he had a change of heart. He's just an arm hiding behind a karate bugman.

But he isn't a compelling villain as all he does is throw tantrums. That is his entire character in these first thirteen episodes, just one long, hipster dressed tantrum. At first it was kinda cool, then kinda funny, then white noise then FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Don't get used to that helmet. At some point Eiji loses that medal and it's the only one he never gets back outside of the movies.

Wow so something I actually like about OOO...gets taken out of the series. I've said it before, and I'm gonna say it again, I really don't think OOO is for me. It isn't a bad series, it's just a by the numbers series, and after having so much fun with Fourze, I just feel so unenthused by OOO.

And hold on at least until Birth shows up. Date is one of the best secondary Riders ever.

I guess that makes sense, the budget doesn't feel massive on OOO, each fight feels a little more restrained than the last.

What episode number does this happen? That gives me something to aim for.
