Another fun episode! It definitely was an over-the-top and faithful tribute to Dan KurotOOO and had some hilarious moments. Tetsuya Iwanaga clearly loves the role and Toei knows we do too. The meme lord himself got a lot of screentime, and it's definitely a cool concept to have a previous legend be the Another Rider. We also get a deviation from the normal pattern, with Geiz returning to 2016 before Tsukuyomi realizes that 2010 is the actual year of the Another Rider's birth. This is also the first time we see the meddling of the Time Jacker's affect the future in a significant way.
Genm Armour was cool, definitely a lot better without Ex-Aid's giant hammer arms. Another OOO actually looks great too, and I loved that they brought the Yummies back, complete with the coin explosion effect. Gotta wonder where the Taka Candroid watch came from but it looks like we may get answers next episode. It was also nice to see Hina again (damsel in distress though she may be) and a brief appearance of Eiji Hino! Though this was more a Dan tribute (by extension, another Ex-Aid episode), it does seem we'll be getting more into OOO territory in the second half with Eiji's full cameo, the OOO Armour making it's debut as well as its use with the Time Majin and the Tajador RideWatch.
One thing I did not like about this episode was the return of cheap drama. I get Sougo is only pretending to be Kuroto's lackey for some big plan, but his bad communication resulting in an unneeded fight between him and Geiz (in which the latter actually got hurt!) was the kind of forced drama I hoped was left behind in early Heisei. Oh well.
To finish off, I have to comment on the quality of filmmaking this episode around. Some really creative shots and choreography. Geiz kicking Sougo's Jikuu Driver to initiate the henshin and him punching Build Armour to knock it onto Zi-O were really creative moments.
8.5 is gold, as expected. It's basically a forced toy commercial that explains why Genm and OOO have a tribute together. It's clearly not meant to be taken seriously and they use takes where So Okuno clearly messes up his lines. And the last part is essentially a blooper reel. These .5 episodes are truly a treat.
