[Fish Sandwich]

- So I noticed in this episode that the stunt-friendly version of the Revice Driver is squished so flat that the entire back halves of the stamps don't exist, and I find that really amusing for some reason. They just keep designing these things to bulky to film action scenes with!

- I'm really digging Revice so far, and this episode continues to show loads of promise. It's very well-rounded, for one thing. The writing does a solid job planting all these little seeds for tons of larger things in the overall series, without ever losing focus on the moment. The plot hints at some fairly weight themes exactly the way you'd expect from the Rider show about fighting with and against literal inner demons, but they're taking their time building it all up. From the obvious focus on Daiji to seemingly innocuous dialogue between other characters, there's a lot about Revice I feel like I'll be looking back on eventually and appreciating the cohesion of it all.

- But like, all that said, this episode is still just a fun surface-level romp with an easy to digest hostage situation and tons of wacky one-in-two Rider action, and that's what makes all that deeper stuff click into place. I mean, Daiji's feelings of inferiority are neat and all, but really, if I don't also get to see two guys pretending to be a mammoth running along train tracks that float in the sky on top of that, it's like, why are we even here?
