Episode 2!

-Truly, there's nothing more funnier than establishing "Aruto might be wayyyyy over his head with this job" in this episode than the goverment enacting an invesigation literally 5 minutes into his first day! Aruto truly inherited the company, with all its weird secrets included!

-We are properly introduced the AIMS duo, more speficially the mad dog Fuwa! Isn't he so fun? The story gives his perspective on Humagears with equal weight (Hiden being up to no good, rotten and secretive, is not only backed up with the Daybreak Incident, but for little incidents like Hiden attempting to shake off the press/Izu telling Aruto that the control system for rampaging Humagears's connection to Hiden must be kept Secret from AIMS, For Some Reason) while also going "Hey! Doesn't this guy have a screw loose?!", it's real neat. Aruto/Fuwa stating their perspective in juxtaposition, it's a simple but super fun move. It's also really cute is the way they decided to humanize this walking ball of rage is that he might be the only person to find Aruto's jokes funny? Literally shaking trying to keep a straight face, lmao.... Anyway, I'm glad he immediately hooked you! (I've found that no matter what a person's opinion on 01 is, they generally agree that Fuwa's real good.)

-I did manage to find some of my scattered thoughts on my inital watching, and one of my inital impressions of AIMS was "Watching the AIMS duo banter makes me wish I was watching the G3 Team sections of Agito instead." Now, now past me, AIMS has its own charms yknow? (Though, I wonder what would happen if we locked Hikawa and Fuwa in the same room together...)

-Very interesting that AIMS assumed on first glance that 01 was a Humagear, even tho they also have Rider tech. I don't think I caught that the first time I watched.

-Not particularly important, I really always enjoyed the Vice President and his goons? They bring a really fun energy to all of the office scenes.
