[Kamen Rider Die]

Also!

I really liked how Tarou's whole Connections Are Always Valuable thing exists as a recurring theme through the story, because he's explicitly not saying that connections are always good. His point seems to be that it's important not to shy away from new experiences, new people... but also to be able to recognize when new people are bad for you -slash- become a giant monster in a neon-outlined parallel dimension. It goes hand-in-hand with Haruka's story, where anyone she meets could be a monster, or it could be her savior, so she just has to keep looking.

It's such a fun theme, Putting Yourself Out There, you know? That even if shit goes sideways and people let you down, you learned something, and you took the chance. You were the brave person, no matter the outcome. The value is in the risk, not the reward.

I really dig that.
