I've spent the last five days watching Revice The Mystery part by part (which was a great way to do it, for the record), and I've gotta say, I thought it was pretty much an ideal TELASA spinoff. It doesn't really feel like something you could just do on the show's usual timeslot, it doesn't feel like something they should've just done in the show, and crucially, it's also telling a legitimately pretty solid and entertaining story. Uchida's writing pretty effortlessly treats Kamen Rider as one big universe without getting bogged down by pointless details, getting right to the core fun of seeing characters we like, acting in character, returning and teaming up with unexpected new partners, and the actual central murder mystery is delivered in a solid enough way that I don't think people only watching for Revice itself would feel totally lost.

Another thing I also *massively* appreciated was the use of proper BGM not only from Revice, but from literally every show that was featured in a notable capacity. Probably helps that half of them are from the same composer, but still. It might seem like a small thing to some people, but I really believe that even on a basic subconscious level, those motifs make a huge difference. It's like, what would be the point of having Accel if you don't have this playing when he shows up too, you know?
