I really liked Faiz during its first and second acts, but the third act was really bad IMO. The biggest selling point being Yuuji; he's one of my favorite characters from the series period, although the way his character arc goes during the third act really made no sense to me.

That seems to be common for me with Inuoe's' works. With Agito I didn't like the first act, but the second and third I found rather enjoyable. And with Kiva, the start and end were good, but the middle act didn't do the series any favors IMO. Kinda funny how those all tuned out.

But, there's alot Faiz did for the series in general. Smart Brain being the basis for many Evil Orgs to come throughout the series(like the Kogami Foundation), the Belts outright talking during various actions(even though technically Ryuki did it first), but also, correct me if I'm wrong here, a straight up downer ending.

Is Faiz one of the best Kamen Rider series? Nah. But for the time it came out, it kept the trend of what many Phase 1 Heisei Era shows were trying to do; Something different. And even if someone ends up not liking it, I think it can be appreciated on that level at the very least.
