This is yet another one of the many joys this thread has given me. I've seen Switchblade say stuff along the lines of "Faiz's biggest problem is that it'd rather be a soap opera than a Rider show" for ages, and could never think anything in response except "biggest problem?"

It's nice to see that stance reevaluated in a way no amount of me saying "well, actually" could have accomplished, but beyond that, it's just always nice to see people... patching things up, I guess? I mean, it's just a TV show, obviously, but me going through the same process with Gaim resulted in my very first epic novel thread on this forum years back, so, speaking from experience, being able to find again those things you liked about something you've grown cold towards is a wonderful feeling.

Die, I'd love to believe you're saying this out of the goodness of your heart, but, as you just pointed out, we remember the comments you've made. This kinda sounds like an excuse to weasel your way out of that fight with Kurona over all your objectively awful opinions on suit designs. Cosmic States deserves an apology!

I think maybe bingeing this one does it a disservice? Being able to spend a day between episodes, spending some time really thinking about, it helped focus on the themes and characters rather than just letting the plot wash over me for hours at a time.

Although I'm still happy to see your character arc continuing to play out. Maybe by the time you catch up to currently-airing Rider, one episode a week will somehow sound perfect to you. That kind of development would put even Takkun to shame!

That cake is amazing.

What's more amazing is that this thread has gotten everyone so jazzed about Faiz, nobody has even thought to make a Kougami joke yet.

...

Okay, actually, I lied. That cake is immaculate. Nothing can top that.
