Finally watched Gaim Gaiden. It wasn't particularly good.

Kamen Rider Gaim has a pretty tight knit story, but there are certainly areas where things could be revealed or expanded on. But rather than do that both of these side stories just introduce some dumb new characters and parade about some repaints to sell toys. Gaim always managed to balance serious and humour quite well too, but the Baron story just seems to completely miss the mark.

Well, kinda. There ARE some interesting tidbits in these films, but their either told mainly through the forgettable new characters (Ryouma's backstory) or minor points to the overall story (Kaito's dark as hell childhood).

There is some good though. Bravo is as fun as always and Ryouma is a joy to watch - which means if his Gaiden is happening it might not be as pointless as these. But for now my expectations are low.

Hard to believe they made a 40 minute Eternal film better than these.
