Well I’ve been watching Go-Busters’ Christmas episode and I know there’s a “What are you watching thread” for this sort of thing, but I feel like venting my thoughts and feelings somewhere they’re more likely to be read.

So the climactic showdown with Messiah - it did nothing for me. It’s just a retread of the same climactic battle we had 14 episodes ago. And the show’s been doing a lot better since we got rid of Messiah, so I don’t think bringing him back was all that necessary, since the Busters already got closure on their parents.

Ene-tan returning was a nice touch - or it would’ve been if they hadn’t just reused the fight footage from the movie. And it really stands out since that fight is clearly at day, while the rest of the battle is at dusk.

Messiah Reboot: It’s a nice suit, but I have to wonder who’s idea was to make it dark red against a night backdrop. Kind of makes it hard to see. Not to mention making it huge compared to Go-Buster King - I actually dig that choice, since Go-Buster King is the largest of the Tokumei Gattais, which sells how imposing this thing is.

I guess the thing with the orphanage lady was meant to be heartfelt, but that subplot got so little focus that it just seems like an odd big lipped alligator moment. It’s telling I got more emotional investment out of this actress when she was BoukenBlue’s cat, Asumu’s partner in crime at Dekaranger and Koguma Skyblue’s ghost mother.

Also they didn’t really answer one thing from the last episode: how was Hiromu able to use the Lio Blaster while Jin was piloting Tategami Li-Oh?
