And that is why it will never be among my favorites. It’s a great show, the first I've rewatched in its entirety, and it was still as good as the first time. Yes, it does everything right. From start to finish.

But that's exactly what robs it of the potential to truly shine for me. It stands with lots and lots of other completely solid entries in the franchise, is absolutely enjoyable to watch with everything one could want from a Rider show.

Yet after finishing it nothing stays with me except "It was fun". As far as Phase II goes, only Gaim and Build really left an impression on me.

Although, Gaim - I have to rewatch it at some point. I'm a little bit afraid of it actually. Will I still like it now that I watched so many other Rider shows? I mean, I openly stated many times that I have watched superior shows since. I wonder what it's like rewatching the show everything started with for me.

In fact, I played with the thought of opening a "Kiwami rewatches Gaim"-topic in a similar manner as your threads, but I must admit that I don’t feel like I can live up to it. Knowing me I will just not bother after a few posts. It really takes a whole lot of passion to write down your entire journey with a show like that. Your threads are the most dedicated and impressive I can think of around here really. I feel bad for not even having the time to read them along as much as I want to.

Maybe I’ll make an actually fun new year’s resolution and try to follow the next one you’re coming up with. Maybe it’s actually a show I haven’t seen yet and I can watch it alongside you.
