So like I said, we’re in retool territory. And the first obvious sign is Enter saying “you know the evil scheme that failed last week? Turns out it actually worked and I read the thing wrong”

The second is that we have a new, more energetic opening, which I genuinely think works better for this show (I think a fast paced action show should have a more energetic and electric score than Go-Busters’ rather monotonous and overdone brass instrumentals), and the first song didn’t really fir that niche for me. It’s a crime that I’ve never had an opportunity to subtitle it, since the VS movies were in that period where opening songs weren’t included except too briefly to count as it playing, or as instrumentals. Which I’m gonna rectify now.

If we make the most out of our abilities then I’d like to be tested constantly.

There’s also some changes to the ending visuals, replacing the rather dull and moody imagery with new scenes of all 4 duos doing their own unique dance moves, which made me warm up to the song a bit more. (Probably because I felt the new visuals were more appropriate than a indecisive “is it a fun dancing credits/is it a moody piece highlighting the intended tone” visual language, on account of committing to one).

As for the episode… it’s a rough transition between the old and the new. I’ll have more to say about the next one.
