[Switchblade]

Ryuki is a show that left me fairly cold the first time through, but that I appreciated more on the rewatch. I think the part of it that I appreciate the most is a moment that comes near the end of the show when Shinji is trying to get the other Riders to fight him so he can save Yui and they all refuse, even Asakura. I really liked the idea that a big part of the show was the way that his idealism actually did inspire the others and it was something about him that they all respected, something that even motivated some of them to be better people. I thought that was a pretty neat development.

Also, I freaking love the Rideshooter and would 100% drive one if they were released to the public.
