[Switchblade]

I liked the finale. It's been a long time since Rider did a finale that focused more on a big emotional moment instead of a fight. I've had a pretty rough year, so the whole bit with Ikki and Vice hit me really hard with its "going to the dog park one last time before putting him down" vibe.

I've seen a lot of people be pretty down on Revice in the last few months, but I've generally enjoyed it a lot. Definitely not challenging Hibiki, W, or Ex-Aid for placement, but it's probably my favorite series since Build. Not by a huge margin (outside of Zi-O), but I think it was more consistently enjoyable than Zero-One or Saber. The plot absolutely had some peaks and valleys - I suspect that elements like Daiji's dalliance with the enemy will play better when binging the show than week-to-week - but I consistently loved the cast and characters. Ikki was a good main character and Sakura is easily the most well-realized female Rider we've ever gotten. Daiji was also there. I'm going to miss the show now that it's over.
