[NGW]

Haven't read any of the thread yet, just finished watching the sub and wanted to post my quick thoughts.

Hiiro/Brave reminds me of Kitaoka/Zolda for some reason, and seeing as the latter is my favorite tv character of all time, that's all good with me.

Plus the bit at the end of the episode with the pie, I was already digging him, but I think I fell in love right there. I can see him becoming my favorite rider of this season easily.

Was a good episode. The pace felt different from what I expected, with a bigger action scene towards the beginning, character stuff in the middle, and then the final fight at the end. I actually liked that though, just felt different than the usual.

Fight scenes were great, am gonna miss the game visuals when the budget runs out, but I'll enjoy them while I can. Hell, even watching the Level 1 forms fight has become rather enjoyable, much better than I ever expected from them.

A few plot threads teased here and there, looking forward to seeing where things go from here.

Edit: Also gotta say I love "Excite" as a theme and the intro sequence is great.
