Well, I've now finished Hibiki. It was a good 29 episodes. A very different but welcome take on Rider. Good characters, very deliberate pacing and development. Just all around a good package. Probably the only Heisei Rider besides Kuuga that really felt like its priorities were undividedly on being a good show, toys be damned.

It's only unfortunate that it was cut short so abruptly. It really felt like it was building up to something, but we'll never really know what.

And well.

I was going to venture into the dark timeline and start watching The Show Formerly Known as Hibiki, but it turns out the Bunny Hat raws have this...preview scene thing after the opening? Not sure what it is but. I guess the webrips don't have it because the timing of the Shushutto scripts doesn't account for it. So I guess I'll have to wait until I get home to fix that.

I will say, the preview and minute-odd of the cold open sure made this Kiriya fellow look like a pleasant person.
