Episode 37: Iron Mask's New Strategy

Our third recap episode.

What? You're expecting more out of me? Well unfortunately, this is the most basic of them all, and thus there's not much to talk about.

This episode is written and directed by Ahmad Nurudin, another of the directors who works on BIMA-X. And I guess the staff just decided that directors should handle the recap episodes.

And as a recap episode not handled by Hideki Oka, this one is much less insane than the previous two. It's all about Iron Mask and his army having flashbacks as they discuss what their new plan of attack should be after everything that's happened across both BIMA and BIMA-X.

As a result, the episode is just shy of being a straight up clip show, to the point that you can tell this was a budget episode due to how the editing is handled during the original scenes. But hey, I can definitely say that the bit at the end, where Karax kicks a dude into re-entry? A really fun(ny) reward for sitting through a bunch of old scenes. I appreciated that.

Anyway, yeah, it is what it is. Nothing crazy, nothing bad, it just serves its purpose of catching the audience up some while very slightly advancing the plot. It works.
