I liked this episode! I still have the issue that despite being all about returning Riders and Legends. Both Geiz and Sougo have hardly any knowledge of past Riders, I feel the connection between Geiz and Ex-Aid should've been made more easily but eh.
Seeing Kuroto again was obviously fun! I'm fully expecting to see this guy representing Ex-Aid for the coming years. I gotta ask though who the hell did he kill in 2016? I initially thought it was his dad but that doll at the desk made it seem like it was Maki from OOOs |

Who was the director this episode? Sougo's henshin using Geiz's kick was so badass...

The .5 episodes are becoming those Taisen net movies and YouTube skits. Woz went from cool to annoying worshiping lackey that would praise anything stupid that comes out of ZiO. Dan like narutaki is just a meme and gag. I have a feeling the ooo alumni are just there for the sake of being there without much to add to like beast. I still can't take him as that competent of a fighter to defeat Geiz and every motw fairly easily even if he's confident.

I'm holding off judgement of this until I see 10; the full extent of Sougo's plan is crucial enough to the plot. I will say that any poor communication is on his head though - they literally traveled back in time to stop him, Geiz with murderous intent, and have dialed it back a lot from there so it's pretty natural if they don't trust him.
Gemn armour is kind of cool and I guess is fine seeing as it would have been way easier to make than any other non-main armour. Does kind of add to the complete randomness of non-main Rider watches though. Also, I feel like the fact that Gemn Armour and Another OOO look nothing like each other maybe should have clued them in a little earlier. While they're a bit repetitive at points, I do like the .5 episodes. Whoever's writing them is super self aware. For those who haven't seen it, this one goes in hard on the toy commercial aspect. Like, Sougo literally says this must be the OOO episode because the OOO watch is out this week and Woz explains how the Gemn watch is a promotion item. |

Why is this another Ex-Aid episode? Why is Dan, an antagonist Rider, getting any sort of Ride Armor or even spot light time?
God, I hate Ex-Aid so much. The parts without Ex-Aid influence or Dan was a great episode though. It was awesome seeing Geiz's ass totally kicked by Zi-O who shrugged everything off like it was nothing. Last edited by MnemonicSyntax; 10-30-2018 at 01:05 PM.. |

I'm sure there's some kind of larger plan in action here, but I still can't help like feeling that Sougo just took a couple giant steps backwards as a character. I tend to hate it any time the whole "I'm going to be a king!" bullshit comes up and this episode is drenched in it.
That said, I love the use of Kuroto here (and not just because I love any use of Kuroto anywhere). This is a great evolution of the Another Rider idea and Kuroto is a perfect candidate for someone who would want to use that power for conquest (and it's so fitting that they're tying OOO, the show where the monsters were all based on greed, into all this). I hope we see more of this as Zi-O goes on. There are definitely more Rider villains who could return this way. The .5 episode was really good this week, too. The toy commercial part started to annoy me, but they pivoted on it really well. And again, Kuroto absolutely stole the spotlight. |

Hey everyone, guess what time it is!
Time for me to once again take the unpopular stance that Genm is really overplayed at this point. Don't get me wrong, obviously Tetsuya Iwanaga is the man (you need only see him teasing Sougo's actor at the end of the .5 episode for proof of that), and it's not like he's a bad character, but whenever they have him doing nothing more than running around making silly faces I find it wears thin fast. Whether he's plain ol' Dan, Shin-chan, or even KurotOOO's, I can only watch this guy make the same self-aggrandizing speeches so many times before it gets old. So, needless to say, the main draw of this entire episode failed to pull me in. Making matters even worse is that the nature of the cliffhanger means I don't have anything to say about the plot until two weeks from now, when I can verify whether or not Sougo is being an idiot. Still, for how odd this whole episode felt to me, it was plenty enjoyable, and there are some clever bits in here that stood out, like Geiz kicking Sougo's driver, and the date on Another OOO's back.

About the Geiz/Z-io fighting and drama and stuff, to me, having just rewatched OOO, it reminded me of the OOO vs Ankh thing where toward the end Ankh leaves them to go join up with the bad guys only to end up on the good side after all. Feels to me like they are taking a cue from that.
