No offense, just that all of these seems blind for Inoue for some reason to me, which made me inform that those that had problems acknowledge some of his good parts like slice of life or comedy, overall being better on leash, but his extreme edgelord and screwing up parts aspects aren't ignored.

I mean, heck, he puts up with me saying I don't like Inoue every two seconds! ... for the moment...

Thanks! And yes! If I ever come off as being firmly against anyone else's opinion, please know that it's a joke. It in no way bothers me if people like something like Cosmic States, even if I don't get it. This is all art, even the suit designs (sometimes especially the suit designs), and that's never something I want to be confrontational about. Sometimes there are jokes, though!

Internally, I think the show implied that the Snake Undead's venom might've caused Hajime's amnesia. Or maybe I just inferred that?

I'm not sure I'm getting your question right, but I think you're asking why I was down more on the second part, despite the Ryou stuff working as well as it did in the first part? I'm always going to be a little more lenient on first parts than on second parts. The first part of a story, it's all possibilities. By the time the second part is over, it's more clear what some choices meant or what got left out. Basically, it leads to me loving a first part maybe more than I should, and criticizing a second part maybe more than I should.

Like, think of it as me giving the first part an A, and the second part a B-, so both episodes together would maybe get a B or a B+.

It is almost exactly like Kusaka delivering the upgrade to Takumi, except not nearly as fun. Faiz treated it like a huge imposition, with Kusaka flinging it at Takumi, never even getting off of his bike. Blade plays it fairly straight, with Tachibana being weirdly honored by this dumb thing that came in a box that Hirose just hands to him. Tachibana's so proud of it, and it's... I mean, it's not not funny, but it's still not that funny.

And, yeah, Kenzaki gets handed his as well, but there's at least a minor subplot about him needing to make himself worthy of it before Shima hands it over. If this show is suggesting that Tachibana is more innately heroic than Kenzaki... no. No way.

If they can give us ONE AB of a muscular comedian robot why not Taiyaki Master.

I'm not even sure what the ceiling is on what I'd pay for a Taiyaki Master SO-DO. I'm even imagining a switch-out front plate for Turbo Form. Oh, to dream!
