During the time where the Unknowns have let up, our heroes are settling into a normal life. In one scene, Ashihara Ryō is riding his bike at night and sees Shouichi Tsugami working in a restaurant, no doubt amusing guests with his Japanese Forrest Gump charm. I love that scene. It's great. I love the scenes at the Ramen stand with the guy from Kuuga, too.

The story for Agito was fine, but the characters, at least the riders, were AMAZING! Every joke I laughed, especially if Shouichi and Hikawa were together. Ryo had a lot of characterization and Shouichi's missing identity was interesting (at least to me). The G3 unit was the best part of the show. Also, I'm pretty sure Agito has the highest ratings, or one of the highest ratings, for a Heisei era show. Also, this show has less infighting and falling in water than most Inoue shows so that has to count for something (that stuff was unbearable in Faiz).
