If there's a problem with Kamen Rider Den-O (and judging by how nearly anti-dramatic the previous episode felt, gonna go with Yeah Maybe on that), it's that there's too much stuff, in ways that feel kind of obvious. Why are there two Hang Out sets? Why is there both the cafe car on the DenLiner and Milk Dipper? Why do you need two different creeps pestering Airi? Even Airi... she's sweet! I get that people are fans of her relationship with her brother! But it feels like she's included because You've Got To Have One Of Those, not because she fits into the narrative in a convenient way.

And, it's like, I remember saying almost exactly the same thing about Ryuki, where Shinji had two completely different jobs with two completely different casts. It's too much! Kobayashi was apparently still at the stage where she couldn't self-edit when she was doing Den-O, because I sure as shit don't remember OOO feeling fatty with distractions and douchebags.
