Honestly, this is why I think he shouldn't come back. Not for another Rider show, but just, not ever, like how Kobayashi has never been in KR again until now after 3 shows. Not for animosity towards him (so yeah it's a disappointment that he came back, and I don't talk in animosity about Kobayashi either here), but for the overhated stuff. Though dunno if it's actually deserved.

She even fits the actress/idol mold that we had with Neon/Poppy. Also that she can change outfits in the dream world probably means she's going to have a spectacular wardrobe.

I thought Izu was the one seen as a perfect female lead by people, though Takahashi is never brought up for that. But then again, dunno if overhated applies on him, or it's just me being a fanboy, when it can feel that Takahashi is hated for fridging Sara, where there's also Saki before in Ex-Aid which never got brought up, or how there are other characters acting like that such as Sayoko in Blade, Kasumi in Build, or Soji in Gavv.

A good writer needs more than just passion. A good writer needs to know the limits of what he can do alone and when to defer to the wisdom of others. Ironically, he understands this on a conceptual level, as Geats actually talks about the value of teamwork often, yet he cannot apply his moral to his own methods.

Though it seems that Takebe is the one whose ideas got realized by this, but dunno what'd qualify in applying this moral to his methods, if it's not like that Takebe's ideas got ignored. And I wonder for conflicting productions, how to determine who's the culprit or such.

Yua is the one most criticized for Takahashi female, which isn't the mascot character.
