Faiz Episode 3
Oh my God Chie is Jason! Quick, get Corey Feldman, he'll take care of her!

How come everybody who dies turns into sand though? Are they Imagin or something? I guess I'm adding this to my list of things that need to be explained.

Mari trying to pull a fast one on Takumi. I think I have my favorite character for the moment. Oh, and all her weird statements about him being too close and too far, funny as all hell. Seriously this girl is pretty cool.

Hmmm, so let me see. We have a girl who does phenomenally well at school, praised by her teacher, and loved by her parents. And she has a sister who apparently does not do well in school and get praise from the parents. Gee, I wonder if anything will come back to this.

Okay how long until Michiko gets her ass handed to her? Serious I can see it happening from a mile away. The setup is there for Yuka to get her revenge on her. Now it's just a matter of pulling the trigger.

D'awwwww, and she has a boyfriend as well. This episode couldn't hide it's happenings even in the dark of night. Serious Faiz I can figure out what's about to happen just by these last three scenes. I know Kamen Rider isn't that subtle with stories, but come on! Even W would show you the villain but still keep you guessing. You're just screaming what is going to happen.

Caught red handed Mari! Takumi so far seems like the most unenergetic rider I think I've seen. It seems like he could care less about being a rider, the belt, the Orphenochs, or anything else for that matter. He doesn't seem to have any interests or dreams. He's just kinda, happening. I know the belt works with him, but is Mari sure she picked the right guy to become Faiz?

Laundry delivery? That's a thing? They will take your clothing, clean it, and then deliver it to you? Okay Japan you just got even awesomer. Come on, that's pretty cool, you gotta admit that.

That is a very good and legitimate question. How did a school end up that deep underground? Did somebody kick it down there or something? Did it sink? What the hell happened?

Keitaro seems like a pretty fly guy. He wants everybody to be happy, is willing to do favors for them, including paying for those favors himself. He's a really nice guy who seems like he would do anything to help bring joy to a person's life. He should be the Kamen Rider, not dicky old Takumi.

Okay when is Yuka getting revenge? Seriously if she doesn't get some sort of justice for all of the shit I've seen her put through I'm going to be an angry panda. She at least deserves something good to happen to her, and hopefully something bad to those utter bitches who are bullying her, not to mention her parents. She just doesn't deserve to get treated this way. Period.

Keitaro you are having some bad luck my friend. Then again it could be worse. You could be Yuka. Or Yuji.

While I'm here, can I just say that I find it utterly weird that Takumi has to build the belt? I mean it's one thing to insert a card deck, cellphone, pass, memory, or another object into a belt to activate it's powers. But having to build it? That's a little too much. Hell if you gave it to a newbie, he could be dead before he even henshins. Seriously why the hell did they decide to make the built buildable? It seems like something that as I said, could get you killed.

That was quite the nonchalant attack there Takumi. How's he know how to do this stuff though? I noticed that there was a manual in the belt box. Did he read it at some point and just memorized everything? Or should I not think about the how and just go along with it? Toku makes your brain hurt sometimes.

I see we have another Orphenoch.

So this episode was fairly nice. It had a nice contained story which seems to be followed up in the next episode, so all good there. Didn't really help develop Mari or Takumi, which is kinda sad that we didn't get at least a smudge of development. Though I guess we could say there was some in that we saw how Mari is a bit of a trickster to get her way.

Like the first episode, it seems like everybody but our main hero was the focus on the episode. I mean it's nice that they developed the Keitaro and Yuka story and put time on it. But it seems like there should have been some focus on Takumi and Mari outside of the brief moments they had in the episode, with Takumi having very little to do.

So in the end, episode 3 was still better then 1, but not as good as 2. However it was not boring, and with it ending on a cliffhanger I'm definitely curious to see how the next episode unfolds. So yeah, guess I'm going to keep watching it.

Oh and by the way, is it just me or does Takumi look like Shinji?
