[Chasing]

Extra Riders were already a thing, but we've gotten 2 series in a row where extra extra Riders feel like they need their own label.

I miss looking forward to v-cinemas as bonus, extra material rather than feeling like they're necessary to flesh out certain characters more. Even with 2 post-series v-cinemas for Saber I honestly don't ever see Reika and Ryoga really reaching satisfactory levels of development. It's a massive shame since their Seiken and suits are just awesome.

The whole siscon thing in general is an anime trope that they keep trying to bring to live shows, but it just doesn't work.

It's really a shame that Reika basically went from Isaac's lap dog, to Ryoga's. It felt like she was being written differently in the first quarter - as if she was the one acting on Isaac's behalf, since it was too early in the show to really debut his character or have him do anything. This is the only time where I felt like she had potential as a character, but it literally all went away as soon as she and her brother debuted as Riders. I genuinely enjoyed Reika's screentime moreso in the first two quarters.
