This one about a karma drive is a mesh of about 3 previous episodes, with Kryten even directly comparing it to Justice.
So whilst it's a perfectly OK bit of TV, you could instead watch the same ideas explored with the same cast... but better.

Ahhh, I remember Hibiki's new direction only really failing right at the end, so I hope that was a blip rather than the start of the comedown because it basically did everything that annoyed me about the treatment of the girls in Rider.

That Akira basically just watches the big fight at the end rather than get any sort of payoff to her failure at the start is so annoying. And then she quits!

Oh no, obviously not a lesson he's learned as he's back in his latest nice expensive looking leather coat when he goes off to fight.
Maybe he actually prefers the third Oasis brother puffer jacket?

Though maybe it shows Hibiki shouldn't have worn his best clothes when he goes Hibikiing and they burn off his body.

More cheerfully, Hibiki's Oni training being "Teach the guy's his little gay salute" is hilarious and formative for @speedfreak01.bsky.social.
Though what the fuck happened to his style? Do the new team really hate him that much?

Akira's actress seems to have a lot of fondness for the show (she did a short film to celebrate her anniversary in the industry that roped a lot of the cast in a few years ago), so I'm glad Decade, of all shows, did better by her.

And the "They're naked when they revert to normal" thing is funny when it's grown up buff guys, kinda uncomfortable when it's a kid.

OK, this journey through the afterlife was an excuse to reuse all the old monster creatures they already killed.
That the two Jetman robots can go to hell raises questions.

Jesus Umar, I know it was a bad date, but even an uneaten pizza isn't justification for sending someone's soul to hell.

Amusingly I'm pretty sure the place Ryu first enters the afterlife and meets a granny guide is the same waterfall Takeru first met Gramps after he died.

The next time trailer promises Rider 2 and V3, so I guess Hongo was well done with the whole thing at this point.

I at least hope that was a real African dance troupe (felt like it might have even been another celebrity cameo?), milking the stereotypes for cash.
