I don’t… man, I don’t love being bored with a Kamen Rider. I love being excited, obviously, but I’m even into being angry on occasion. I like feeling something. An episode like this, like last one… this sort-of sucks? I dislike disliking it, and I feel like an asshole writing about it.

I feel so disengaged from what’s happening in the show. There’re only a few episodes left, and the show seems pretty all-in on its big choices, and I don’t really like them? This isn’t like some mid-series diversion that can get swept under the rug or fixed down the line. This is the end of the story, and it’s being presented in a way I don’t find a lot in, and it’s doing things I don’t think it’s earned.

But, honest to god, the worst part is coming to this thread to say that. It makes me feel actual sad to come here and be like Hey Faiz Is Maybe Tanking It At The End. I don’t like doing that! I never ever wanted that to be what these threads are like! But, man, not seeing a ton of light at the end of this tunnel.

I'm going to try to be vague here, but Faiz is a show that's known for making a lot of... let's say "decisions" with its ending. I'm not saying they're all bad, but they're certainly things - like Ryuki's total reset - that tend to provoke a lot of strong reactions in multiple directions.
