Looking at the topic at hand, I think I'll throw my opinion in the ring too. i-O is stupid. It has a child-like protagonist, a plot that as soon as it got confirmed, I knew would go to shit and has yet to prove otherwise and that not every Rider would get to return or even cameo. However, I'm greatly enjoying it. I'm trying to be more open to shows and it's been working out fine for me. Almost EVERY Rider show has an awkward "BUY THE TOYS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BUY THIS" phase these days and Zi-O is evidently not different. However, I'm curious to see how this goes, the last few episodes had made the characters very enjoyable, there's been some good jokes here and there and whenever they can get the actors back, there's fun little nods to their shows, which shows that whoever was in charge knew how to make us see that the Riders aren't shoehorned in. Is Sougo a rather dull protagonist? Yes, absolutely, but there's something about him I find intriguing, possibly the fact that this guy will end up having to grow out of his dream later on. I really want to see where this show goes after the show starts dialing back on the toys, which isn't that long from now either

Oh, and the ,5 episodes are simply brilliant and regardless of how Zi-O ends up as a show, we'll always have those to look back fondly upon
