It was cool to see a more direct overarching plot in a Showa season via the blueprints, for sure. I also liked the MOTW ideas a little bit more than the first half("Ant Capone" is an amazing name). It's just a shame that the second half has stuff like X never using Ridol again until the finale and the style/pacing being notably less breakneck crazy than the first.

Oh, I should also probably mention for anyone wondering: The subs that Discotek does for Rider are consistently rather well handled. I'd put them on par with the subs that SHOUT does, if not slightly better. This was the first time I watched a Showa season via their subs and I was impressed at how natural and clean the script came off.
