Kamen Rider Blade - Trial Arc Part 1 (up to ~Ep39)
I think I've hit the part where Blade goes from "perfectly good Rider show" to higher up on people's lists. It's a great showing for both Kenzaki and Hajime, and Tachibana is also there (he gets some good stuff in the last couple of episodes), with everyone's motivations making it clear just how much they've evolved over the show. Wild Chalice is a great suit, perhaps my favourite in Blade. While there could have been a little more focus on [spoiler:Shiori] for an arc featuring [spoiler:her dad], but they got to it in the last episode or so! Just in time to introduce the guy who I guess is going to be the final villain? Idk, this show's been good at not having one of thise, and I *know* Blade probably doesn't end by just vanquishing some big bad who's been masterminding it behind the scenes. Let's see how we go as we hit the last 10 episodes.
