Like a lot of art, the relationships on Build either work for you or they don't. If you had a negative reaction (Misora, which, not my experience, she's the MVP of the show to me) or no reaction (Banjou and Sento's friendship), I'm not sure anyone in the world can or should try to change your mind. I could list all of the reasons I feel differently, in fact I'm pretty sure I spent a few weeks doing just that, but that's just my feelings, and nothing you should have to take into account.

I guess the problem for Build more than other Rider shows is how much you need to care about the cast, specifically Sento and Banjou, for it to work. Fourze had the same thing, I think. If you don't care about the heroes, the main cast, nothing that happens in the series is going to matter. The relevance to anything happening is how it makes the characters change. If you don't care about them, and you don't care how they change, it's just a lot of brightly-colored suits punching each other until one of them explodes.

But, yeah, sincerely, thanks! It's cool to see what other people got out of this series.

One of the things I always find interesting in this fandom is the fact that opinions vary widely. Kamen Rider is just such a diverse show that any series can be a favorite to some and that's awesome. Hell, my dislike for Ryuki, Gaim, my apathy for Kuuga, my split relationship to Den-O and my love for ZI-O and Wizard are all things I wouldn't call the norm in the fandom and it's still just another opinion out there. I always love to hear the opinion of others and this definitely gave me an idea of what others saw in this show, even if it didn't really get me.
