Poppy got a shitty turn out though I feel.....

Build though....

Oh my lord yes !

The amount of focus the other riders get, not to mention proper emotion and fantastic acting in regards to multiple episodes is just wonderful. Okay I might be a bit hyper fanboying about the season, but I truly do love this one quite a bit.

I guess I'll fly the flag for the Ex-Aid because they managed to keep each Rider feeling distinct and separate, rather than the usual progression of Surprise Antagonist > Grudging Acceptance > Total Sidekick. All of those assholes on Ex-Aid thought they were the star, and the other three were their sidekicks. They'd work together, but they clearly hated doing it. Build is much more a team of people who like and respect each other, but it still has a bit of that juice. Their goals may align and they generally like each other, but they've got their individual strengths and motivations, and they're able to disagree with one another.

Yeah, Build takes care of its non-Sento Riders, for sure. I'm watching some episodes of Build right now (I'm taking a quick lunch break!) that do a lot for all three hero Riders. And it's not even some time-filling spotlight episode!
