[Ape]

Haven't seen the subs yet (waiting on Over-Time so... probably won't see them until next week!) but from the raw this does look pretty solid and a return to form for Rider. None of this complicated Time Travel or tributes, just a straight forward storyline that focuses only on it's universe and has time to flesh out the characters.

And yeah, after previous rider seasons where someone shows up to throw the rider a belt/item/weapon that they need and the fact that they always catch it perfectly, the fact that the briefcase sword hit him right in the face was my favourite part of the entire episode. Just seeing that raw twice got me laughing both times it happened!

Interested to see where the series goes. I think comparisons to Ex-Aid are going to be inevitable so I await to see what this show's version of Dan Kuruto will be...
