I wonder if me not finding a lot in Meteor is down to how invested I was in the cast, and Gentaro specifically. It was hard for me to separate the needs of the plot (gotta have some conflict in the group) from my interest in core group. Like, Ryusei sneering at their lack of focus and demeaning Gentaro's warmth, like, screw you I love these guys. I guess it's not that he didn't have point, so much as I cared more about the rest of the cast than some secret-agenda interloper. Or maybe I'm remembering liking him less to be contrary? I don't know. I feel like I'm being mean to Ryusei and I don't 100% know why. I thought he was a good Rider! Fourze's a good show! I maybe could've done without what felt like a very long field trip to Ryusei's school, but I think he's a cool enough Rider.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I definitely understand why you wouldn't get into Meteor. Whenever I'm feeling the Main and the Secondary is introduced as anti-the-protag, they usually start off in the negative with me. While not a true Secondary, this is very much how I felt about TheBee when he was introduced in Kabuto (I won't say anymore about that, no spoilers).
