It's also far better at conveying Gaim's themes than Gaim itself in my opinion, so, there's that.
Oh and Tsukasa's back again and he's perfectly Tsukasa, so bonus points as always

I'll probably have to rewatch it at some point. I haven't watched all of the Phase 1 Heisei stuff yet, obviously, so all of the Faiz and Decade parts went over my head, as did the Showa stuff. There's some storylines in that movie that I had no emotional reaction to. I'll probably hit those Phase 2 movies in a go after I finish the Phase 1 stuff, so I can get that experience of I Can't Believe They Got Whomever Back. I watched the Ex-Aid/Build movie before I watched anything but Ex-Aid, and it meant so much more after I'd seen OOO and Fourze.

Yay! It doesn't get any worse!
