Doesn't the tie in episode for the Gaim movie do the opposite, by harming the Movie's sucess. I mean, kids want to see the shiny new suits so if they see Mars in this episode, they might be content with that and move on.

This episode wasn't as painful as I thought it would be. The player cameos were a bit hamfisted, but I think it was supposed to be tongue in cheek. Given how little filler Gaim has had, this is forgivable.

I mean, I don't know the extent to which Mars is in this tie-in, but really, couldn't you say that about trailers for anything that would be appealing to kids?

Kids are going to want to see more if they like something.

This kind of reminds me when Den-O did a Movie tie in the same way (sort of). Also this was really filler, it was more of a delay in plot but with 3 filler episodes. Compared to Wizard the plot of Gaim is like a bullet train that made only a few stops, while Wizard needed to be poked with a stick to make sure the plot was even still alive

Here's the episode summary for Ep 38.

Given the nature of the other two promotional episodes, I wasn't expecting much, but the episode was a lot better than I thought. I did like that they at least tried to connect the episode to the rest of the series, even if it felt a bit forced at times.

Heavy sighing at phantom Takatora

Very fun episode highlighting Kaito, and I am definitely intrigued for the movie too. Also I am happy for all appearances for Knuckle and Bravo which was fun. I can't wait for the next episode it definitely feels exciting.

What Micchy THINKS happened is completely different from what might've actually happened.

Yes, I voted poor. Because after three weeks, or so, of having the World Cup shoved down my throat everywhere I went I'm done even pretending to care about Soccer. And these movie-tie-in episodes are old. The ToQger special was entertaining, Kikaider was fun to see, but this was just torture.

And I ended up fast forwarding through a lot of it just to see wtf happens next week which is all I give a damn about in the first damn place.

So Takatora survived, Huzzah! And we get to see Oren and his Merc buddies vs Takatora and the Kurokage troopers? Hells yes.
