Classic Toei acting pool.

I mean, I'm not gonna sit here and claim that Inoue nails the themes of the movie spinoffs he writes, but I think I can see an OOO story in there. It's missing a lot of the prime story movers (the Greeed aren't really part of it, and Ankh's stitched in later), but a story where Eiji's kind simplicity becomes a lifeline to someone overcome by their obsessions... feels pretty OOO to me?

Yeah, I remember Eiji coming off in-character, but overall it kind of feels like "okay, we need to have an OOO mini movie because that's how we're producing these right now, but Yasuko doesn't have the time to write it, so maybe ol' Inoue can whip something up."
