I would definitely take any kind of focus on Mei over a moment of screen-time for Ren. I don't wish to be so mean, as it's obvious the actor playing him is being told to act in such a fashion, but I find the performance really grating, and it feels as if his character has been introduced not so much because such a character was needed in the story, but the production had mandated that they had to include an extra Rider. As much as I enjoyed 555, I think Inoue stumbled in the show's third act when asked to introduce a new Rider like this; likewise, Kiva wobbled when asked to do the same. Saber had this issue within the first 5 or 6 episodes.

I'm try and find a positive note to end this on, but all I've got is, well, I like Tassel more than Ren, lol.
