Without going into it with too many expectations, I think it felt like a very genuine and fun Build story.

Oh! I didn't know Build had a stage show! I don't have that in my leftovers folder, so it looks like I'll have to track it down. I've only seen the Gaim stage show (I just grabbed the Ex-Aid one to watch after Build) and I thought it was pretty charming for what it was trying to do. I kind-of like the more kid-friendly, "let's put on a show" pluckiness of it. Thanks for the heads-up!

I sort-of assumed they ended up on Earth Ichigo. It would be so weird to take the one Rider show (that I've seen) that explicitly takes place on a separate Earth, and then end them up on a different separate Earth. Not putting it past anyone, but it seems like a waste of a move.

Ha ha, oh, man! On the one hand, I'm glad I'm not reading these shows wrong, seeing stuff that isn't there and missing the obvious. On the other hand, maybe I'm just the living embodiment of "please read the rest of the thread before posting", talking about things everyone else figured out a year ago? Weird!

I'm glad to see that the ending of Build largely worked for you, though. There were definitely a few minutes during some of the fights where I was like, "Is... is this a little dull? Should this be doing more for me?" But then it all got a pretty sweet bow on it, and I left happy. It's a fun show that definitely did more right than wrong.

That didn't elicit an "oh no!" from you, so I guess I did an okay job playing coy.

That's hilarious! No, you didn't tip your hand, it was well-done. I think the most upset I got at the last four episodes was when Sento lays out his Earth C plan, and I'm, like, "Wasn't that Bikaiser's plan? From a year ago? That you teamed up with a half-dozen Riders AND THE GREATEST SUPPORTING CAST MEMBER OF ALL TIME to defeat? Is no one going to bring that up?"
