I'm not a huge OOO fan myself, but it was my first Rider show (kind of) and my opinion has only gone up in retrospect:

- I actually felt Eiji was a little bland at first (ironically missing the point the way people do about my beloved Haruto) but it isn't the case. He does a great job being the seeming fool who's secretly really smart (he's using Ankh as much as Ankh is using him) and totally bada** (some of stunts, early on especially, are legendary).

-The integration of the merch is THE smoothest of any Rider show, hands down. The whole "gain a medal, lose a medal" progression kept OOO from getting too powerful for his own good, and the Ridevendors and Candroids made more sense than they had any right to.

- The ~desire~ stuff is really well done throughout, so it's really strong thematically.

- Solid character arcs with a likable cast. Birth is awesome~

- The middle is a bit weak pacing-wise, but the first and last thirds are really strong.

- Some other stuff? OOO is just a generally solid series. I don't think there's a whole lot really explicitly wrong with it.
