Well. I mean.

I get where you're coming from and in the wider picture I get and agree with your overall point (we're never getting something like Kuuga again), but 'conventional' is perhaps the last word I'd use to describe Kabuto


I'm glad you enjoyed it Die, and it's definitely interesting to see your perspective on this. I guess if I was to take your metaphor and say why I like it despite that... maybe it would have been better to go for a Chicken place to begin with, but often I'm not too fond of Chicken places; and the atmosphere and trappings of a steak house are not just what allured me to this one to begin with but also make it a lot more unique. Though it also definitely helps that I like the steak here a fair bit more than you!

I haven't been talking much due to a lot of things happening otherwise and my laptop only coming in this week; and it takes a while for me to get my thoughts down. So maybe expect some Hibiki 1-29 posts on the 30-47 portion, weirdly enough? I promise that's not out of spite of that second half! Promise! Though I'll definitely have some things to say about at least 30 and 47 themselves.

All in all the first half of Hibiki is an experience that I think is super understated in Rider whether it's something one likes or not -- you won't find anything else like it, even moreso than W or Kuuga; and it's a good watch for any Rider fan. Here's hoping you'll join Andro in the ranks of one of the few people who likes the next batch!
