Not having enough staff can also be a problem though, like for example, a single writer suffering burnout at a critical point in the work. Inoue claims he's immune to this, but there are many who aren't. Generally, I think it's important that the staff are a good match for each other and to keep a limit on how many are involved at once. Too many cooks spoil the broth, after all. Personally, I think Gotchard is a great recent example of various writers Gotcha-N-Going together in a successful way. Maybe we should consider what Fish mentioned in the Rider watch thread as well, which suggests that Nakamura was okay with Sanjo making Yuki a little insane and then it escalated.

I like a complication like that, to force Gen and JK (if no one else) to have to use their wits when their dance skills and/or double dutch skills fail them, and pummeling is off the table.

It's pretty cool how the breakdancing and double dutch contests show off Gentarou's and JK's actors' physical skills, while Sugiura relies on CGI. It ironically makes the losers look cooler to me.

Sugiura's motivation will have to be more than slightly tragic to make up for him calling Tomoko disgusting though.

It?s always weird rewatching these Rider shows, because I feel like I remember it all well enough, and then there?s a curveball like Episode 40 of Fourze. This one weirdly pivots away from the Golf Battle cliffhanger from last time to give us a smaller story between Yuuki and Miu, but with enough of the larger Horoscopes storyline to make this all still feel like Kamen Rider Fourze instead of a completely different show.

Where'd the diabolical student council go anyway? Shouldn't they be doing something about all those black uniforms? Surely this is a violation of the Amanogawa bylaws!

I recall it being a pretty affecting little story? One I think of pretty frequently when I think of this series, even! Kind of scary to think how poorly I actually remember this show, but at least I can trust that Die would never get these sorts of things mixed up!

Oh, you must be referring to that episode where Yuki got poisoned by Scorpio so Miu feigned betrayal to get the antidote. I'm surprised Die never talked about her impressive act, being such the Miu fan.
