Just wondering though...does Hibiki really change THAT much after the staff changes? I had contemplated watching that before I made my decision with Ryuki/Faiz then the follow-up with Blade.

In order to explain Hibiki's change, I have to go into the history of both the writer who took over the last half of the show, Toishiki Inoue and Hibiki itself.

Hibiki was envisioned as a very unique series and it shows in its first half. It focuses a lot on interpersonal problems.

Inoue uses a very particular set of tropes and elements in a lot of the series he heads. In fact, Faiz, the one you are watching right now, will feature a lot of tropes that appear in Hibiki's second half. So if you don't like Faiz's tropes you're not going to like Hibiki's second half. Because Hibiki pretty much changes over to Inoue's style over its distinct and unique way of storytelling when the shift happens.
