So in general. These were alright? The last Net Movies I mostly remember are the Decade Net Movies and the Zi-O Supplementary Material shorts. And these... don't really hit as high as these do? They've got some highlights sure but these were fairly average tbh.

So let's discuss these in order from least liked to best liked imo.

5. Professor Jinno and Assistant Makura's Gaia Memory Research:

Absolutely my least favorite of the bunch. The two actors feel very drone-ish and stiff in how they act in this. While the idea of looking at odder Gaia Memories is a neat concept, this doesn't really do much for me.

4. Kirihiko's Room - The Talk Revenge:

Not really a fan of this one? Though it's not as bad I remembered for sure. I feel like they make Kirihiko a bit too petty and insensitive in regards to certain stuff. Plus the running gag of people just constantly attacking him in various ways? Not fun the further that went tbh. I appreciate them bringing the actor back, but they could've used him better even if there are some highlights. The best part is the Futo-Kun Segment since that's mostly wholesome up until the end where we have to fill the "Kirihiko suffering" quota which made me roll my eyes.

3. Dopant Medical Practitioner - Shinkuro Isaka:

I surprisingly enjoyed this one since Isaka got to ham it up a bit more than usual. It's mostly standard stuff carried by his actor and the gags but even then it's only so much of a step up from the prior two. Though this one mostly takes the spot up this high for actively like... calling on a criticism I mentioned forever go?

Like we finally get an actual in-depth explanation for how the Dummy Memory and Dummy Dopant function. I can retract my remark about how he knew about Sokichi and Skull now! Honestly the most enlightening bit in the entire Net Movies and the fact that we ended on that is incredible.

2. When I, Shroud Opened a Kamen Rider Academy... Student Akiko:

We started off real strong in how these were ordered since this was the first of the set. There's not much to say but there's a delightful insanity to how Shroud works here and it's fun to see her and Akiko bounce off each other. I completely forgot about this one when remembering these so this was fun to rewitness. The trick questions and Akiko eventually turning the tables on Shroud were honestly great.

1. Artistic Taste Battle in the Narumi Detective Office:

It's just the actors screwing around, drawing, and having some fun Dopant guest appearances alongside bringing back up past foods from the W TV Show. And I honestly loved every second of it. Real fun and I loved seeing everyone's artistic talent at work, even if some weren't as good as others (they were still hilarious thhough).

Also it was a fun twist on how the last of those was basically a punishment to the ones who won given the food they received as a reward. Though the funniest one was everyone receiving popcorn from the Gene Dopant while Terui (the loser) received caltrops/spikes as his reward. Fun callback to that bit in the Gene Arc!
