Kamen Rider Gaim Episode 37: "Baron Soccer Showdown: Summer Camp!" Discussion
 

Best episode of the series 10/10 Life fulfilled who needs plot anyway.

I'm really curious how the are gonna present that episode in the context. Also yay for Hase-chan coming back! <3

I'm probably one of the only people who don't mind these tie-in episodes mainly because they provide a break from all the dire suffering currently going on in the plot. Usually you leave that to one-off filler episodes in your usual Rider shows, but given how Gaim's been going so far, doing that now would feel super out-of-place. Especially considering the apocalyptic state of things now.

Granted the timing of these episodes could be better considering they tend to happen after big cliffhangers, but I enjoy them for what they are regardless since the more light-hearted side of Gaim is usually just as entertaining as the dramatic side.

I actually enjoy them as well. I absolutely loved the wacky Kikaider episode so I very much hope this one is in the same vein. It's not like we lose real episodes or something for these, they're still very enjoyable and so compartmentalized from the main story that they can be enjoyed very well on their own.

I actually like the tie-ins too. They just have the worst timing :lol

Unless something plot wise happens I'm skipping this week. If you like them, more power to you, but they annoy the holy you-know-what out of me. "Takatora was defeated! HERE HAVE SOME SOCCER!"

Yeah this is my beef with them. If they came after like, Episode 18 or something then I think people would be more willing to put up with them.

They know people are going to watch specifically for the "Next time on Gaim" clip at the end :lol

I'm very tempted to do that, too. But I think I'll stick it out. I haven't skipped an episode of any Rider series I've seen and it would feel weird to do it here, no matter how bullshit this one is.
