For some reason it doesn't seem to have its own thread, but we watched the ToQGer vs Gaim special today and did Toei not have anyone who actually works on Gaim even write this thing? Kouta was completely out of character. Mai was even more useless than ever. And the villains were crap. THe ToQGers were just, ARGH!!! Annoying is the best way to describe it. I haven't watched ToQ since episode 4, but this made me not want to watch 5 and 6. However, like I said, the whole Gaim thing felt forced and no one seemed to be the way they are on the show. Then there is the whole appearance of Ichigo, NIgo, and V3. They were cool for the whole 30 seconds they appeared, but then the whole, "We don't help Heisei Riders" thing was also completely out of character. Yes, I know this special was meant to be hype up the VS movie, but it made them look like jackasses.

The discussion thread is in the news and rumors forum. Not really sure why.

I'm not sure if this is his first work with the ToQGers or not, but he did seem to have a better handle on them (except Kagura, who he wrote more like the "airhead Pink" stereotype). But yeah, all of the Gaim characters were really, really off.

I actually stand corrected. It's Nobuhiro Mouri and he co-wrote episodes 11, 18, and 19 of Gaim. Which makes it all the more puzzling how he has no idea how most of the characters work.
