Quick thoughts on last weeks episode: Enjoyable, it built up a lot of tension towards Emu finding out he had the game diseases with a decent enough pay off. Seeing Parad lay the smack down on Dan was pretty satisfying especially with how much more crazy he has been getting over these past few episodes. I mean seriously, he's been slowly getting more and more unhinged as the show goes on and if he isn't dead by the end, I expect him to be in a mental instituition.

This weeks episode: This is basically's Hiiro's episode through and through. He's increasingly starting to respect Emu and seeimg his reaction to this much more egotistic and less compasionate version of him provides a nice contrast to how they interacted in the first few episodes. I kinda wish gamer Emu lasted a few more episodes just to see how Taiga and Niko would react.
As for the action, first off, yay we finally have a new bugster design and its a pretty neat one. The main attraction of course is Taddle Fantasy. The fight itself was pretty cool with various different magical abilities he was able to use but I don't expect to see them often because you know, budget. The finisher however is kinda lame, hopefully now that he has the Gashacon sword it will be cooler. The design has also somehow gotten worse in my eyes since I saw it in the toy scans. I think it's the combanation of the dark coloured armor over the bright undersuit, which is kind of the opposite problem I had with Sports Genm. Also him briefly turning evil was pretty pointless since it lasted less than 5 minutes. I mean I guess it showcases his willpower but that aspect of Hiiro has never been called into question.
That's basically all I got and it's kinda been the standard reaction I've gotten from Ex-Aid over the past few weeks. It's good but I haven't been exactly hyped for it.

I'm not asking for the show to pull over and blandly exposit every little detail, but Ex-Aid's world-building game is weak. The mechanics of the setting beyond the most basic level are left to the viewer's imagination in a way that feels less like it has clear rules but just hasn't explained them and more like it just makes stuff up as it goes along.

Yeah you kinda hit the nail on a problem I have with Ex-Aid. Especially when they try to explain how the rider mechanics and game world works. It's not a huge issue but I'm often left more confused
