After finishing Faiz this summer, I couldn't help but feel let down. It had so many cool concepts, interesting themes and ideas, but at the end didn't really do much with it. The characters ran around in circles, the ending sucked, and I feel that it just couldn't properly execute what it was trying to do.

Regardless, I still enjoyed it, perhaps moreso for what it could have been than what it was, but I'm wondering what the community would do to improve it.


First and foremost, Mihara shouldn't have existed. He was pretty much just introduced to be the main Delta gear user and that's basically it. I feel like there were about a million more plot relevant characters than Mihara. Usually I'm fine with it in shows like Ryuki and Gaim where the intent is to give belts to a bunch of people and let them go wild but in a show with only 3 riders, you shouldn't feel like one is completely forgettable like that. Personally I think Kiba should have been Delta. He's the very first main character we see in the show so it looks like the set up is all there for him to become a Rider. Yeah he 'borrows' the Kaixa gear but at that point in the show, Kusaka has a pretty firm grasp on the role of Kaixa. Kiba really should have had a rider identity all, or at least mostly, to himself and given how utterly pointless Mihara is, Delta is the obvious option.
