I gotta say, I kinda loved this thing. Like, it is just Yuuya Takahashi goofing off in the best way possible. 20 minutes of three extremely neurotic CEOs taking everything way too seriously, whether they're at each other's throats, or managing to find reconciliation in spite of their vastly different outlooks on life. The principle characters are all very true to themselves – and even though that may not be a good thing if you hated late-series Thouser or Genm – I thought there were some very entertaining interactions here. Genm and Cronus comically rolling back and forth as they argue was my personal favorite.

This is obviously such a simple little diversion there can only be so much to say about it, but I really did enjoy that brief time. Still managing to fit in a proper arc for the story is a pretty Takahashi move, and making that character development exist in this weird ambiguous space between sincerity and farce was a perfect choice for something that obviously doesn't leave much room for a particularly deep proper arc. It's not the ultimate meeting of minds between Gai and Kuroto you might hope for, but, especially with so much extremely nostalgic Ex-Aid styling in there, I thought it was a rather pleasant return to the chronicles of everyone's favorite Game Master. The game is still forever!
