Exactly. Well, at least they got it over with quickly. Is it just me or did the goofy vacuum cleaner make the dramatic scene even harder to take seriously?

There are a lot of things I like about Build so far, such as:

- The opening
- The premise
- The fast pace, maybe because it reminds me of Ex-Aid (this episode was all over the place, but I didn't really mind)
- The bike action
- The comedy
- Himuro
- Ryuuga (a lot of overacting compared to Amazons, but his expressions are so much fun to watch! I also like that he's a boxer, wish there were more Riders with MA experience.)

The only thing I don't like is the gimmick (the henshin, the bottles, the physics stuff, etc., I've never been this disinterested in a Rider gimmick before). Love the suit, though!

I've been saying that I'm cautiously optimistic, but there's so much promise here that I'm not sure about the cautious part anymore.
