Revice already knows exactly what it wants to be about, and it's benefitting from that clear vision by giving us some unusually tight storytelling. The development for the guest characters is great; the development for Daiji is great; the development for Ikki is great. The action is Sugihara. (He really loves watching characters fly through CG cities for some reason.)

Revice is setting a very high standard for itself, and I really hope it keeps it up.

I'm with you on all of this. The main characters really feel deep already. There's a strong sense of shared history that you can feel coming off all of them and how they interact with each other. I don't remember the last time a Rider show had so many characters that felt this fleshed out so early on. I'm really impressed with this show.
