Rewatched episode 1 of Decade.
I could probably write an essay as to how every second of that Rider War scene was wrong and point out how the inclusion of some characters and some actions created plot holes so wide we could <Analogy here>.

Somehow, miraculous, I managed to get through it without chewing my own face off.

Then comes the character introductions of Natsumi and Tsukasa. They both need acting lessons. They're on par with early Fourze Yuuki in how bad their line delivery is.
Then comes the panic, attack, mass world travelling, and first transformation.
Watching him transform into Kabuto, Faiz, and Hibiki just made me wish I was watching one of their shows.

Did I mention I fucking hate amnesia as a story telling device? Because I do. It's fucking stupid. It pads out time with snippets of "Why do I know this? How did I know to do that?" with the intention of coming up with an answer later on. It doesn't add to the mystique of a character, it doesn't compel me to want to continue. It's a cliche story device that, when used poorly (Oh, and it almost ALWAYS is), is used to pad out the length of a work and intentionally confuse viewers on actions and intentions, often with poor resolution because it's a shoehorned in element, rather than the story created to accommodate it.

So Decade episode one.
I don't think I can do this.
