Faiz 9-13:

-Not a fan of the love sextet that they seem to be developing, and the whole "chance encounter without knowing about who they really are" thing that keeps happening

-Still enjoyed the chemistry between our main trio. Keitaro's a typical goody two-shoes that may annoy me in other shows/circumstances, but he complements Takkun and Mari (who are jerks as Fish Sandwich pointed out) really well

-Kaixa has a very cool design with the X on his face and the shoulder pads. I also really like the idea of a cursed Rider belt

-Episode 13 in particular is very well-directed; the fake-out about Kusaka's identity, the role reversal between Mari and Kusaka by the end, and that hilarious Takkun's 'serve fail' scene were all executed very well. The latter scene is particularly noteworthy for how it's completely silent during the punchline (no wacky comedic sound effect or the likes), which reminds me again of how much I like minimalist, understated humour in general.
