If you want to be an episodic adventure, fine, but don't tease us with stuff that you never plan to realise.

I'm glad you're still mostly enjoying Den-O. Your experiences seem to mirror mine from earlier in this thread.

I absolutely agree on filler, even if I can't recall what the episode following Gun form was about, I wish rider shows were maybe five or ten episodes shorter. Not every episode has to serve the overall plot, but I've yet to see a single series that couldn't do without some fat trimming. Even W, my favourite show, had a LOT of forgettable filler before the first movie. (and it follows that episodic format you describe)

EDIT: I think the next episode, or the one after that, (depending if you've finished the hostage situation) I think is the MOW voice by GaoGaiGar, which was awesome. He's was pretty cool for a monster of the week.
