Yay, I can finally share my thoughts since I saw these a few weeks ago.

13 Riders: An interesting retelling of the series. Verde was an interesting Rider, being businessman as a Rider. He wasn't flashy as others with his techniques, but he was brutally efficient in battle. He's not Gai or Tiger, but definitely up there on the asshole list. The reverse of the series ending with Ren dying in Shinji's arms was touching, and it was cool to see him become Knight. Also I laughed at how Ryuga, Odin, Femme, Imperer, and Tiger popped up at the end to say "We're here too!" . Also rather jarring that Yui was practically non-existant in this story.

Episode Final: Femme was an interesting Rider. Not too different from Ren's motivations, but Miho was quite a different character. I found her interactions with Shinji rather amusing. And now to my favorite of Epsode Final, Ryuga. Seeing how Shinji would act if he didn't have a heart was bonechilling and awesome at the same time. He destroyed Genocider with ease, and actually killed Miho without using a Final Vent. I just wish he had been in the movie more and got a longer fight with Shinji at the end.
