They had us in the first half, then I realized "wait, this episode feels very short..."

So anyway, I figured that was her brother, and the twist with her becoming a Malgam was definitely welcome, especially how Kajiki got to really play a role her. Heck, everyone got to pitch in (Even every Shinsengumi Sword Replica in Kyoto)!

I really do love Gotchard's suits, and I really hope they don't become sidelined like these forms usually tend to be (something I say a lot, but I can't help it when they look so good), especially Gold Mechanicor, love the bulky robot look!

Also, a sweet ending with Kajiki reuniting with Himeno. Wonder if the UFO Chemy really was the same UFO Kajiki saw...

Next Episode: It's Bring your Boss to Work Day!

The plot is simple yet mysterious and the characters and action are keeping me consistently entertained each week. I'm intrigued to find out what happens next with those suspicious executive guys showing up at Alchemy Academy, like specifically how it might affect Houtarou's and Rinne's loyalty with the organization.

Same here! As much as I loved Geats, I'm glad Gotchard is more light-hearted and simpler, since it feels like the previous Rider shows have been edging to dark and complex (some more than others, but you get it) a bit.
