Subs are up on Overtime.
Gotta say this was VERY impressive. Characters on both sides blended better than I would have thought. ToQgers got to be upbeat and funny, Gaim characters got to be grim; neither side lost who they were. The comedic moments were funny, the action was eyepopping, even Takatora had his moments. Hell, ToQ-Oh usually looks goofy but managed to fit right in. They debuted Kachidoki Arms using the DJ Gun + Gaim's sword weapon combo as well. That is my favorite Rider design of all time, its badass.

That was a brilliant little crossover. Aside from Kachidoki Arms showing up and Kouta's knowledge about Yggdrasil, the tone felt just like the earlier Gaim episodes. The cast interacted well and I'm kinda sad they won't get a big opportunity to do that again.
The Narutaki cameo was glorious, and that Takatora/ToQOh bit was brilliant. There were just some really good jokes in this Fifteen's cameo was great too, even if without context the Showa Riders just came off as massive douches. Its a shame its going to be months before we get a proper understanding of why there's this huge rift between the Rider groups.

That was great fun. It certainly nice to have a lighthearted fare after all the heaviness of Gaim recently. In fact, it felt very much like a ToQger episode.
Best part of the episode, Kagura screaming "All Aboard!" as they rush of to Charmant's.

I loved it. I was there for ToQger and was absolutely ecstatic had how evenly divided the screentime of the two series were and the special probably had more "crossover interaction" then the last two VS movies combined. It was just a lot of fun. Although from this special, with zero knowledge on Gaim, that Mai girl seemed annoyingly useless. She did nothing but make trouble for herself while both the ToQ and Gaim cast frequently went out of her way to help her. Is she less useless in the series proper?
It was WAY better then the SHT movies. Even with this promotion, the third looks like a total snorefest too. Last edited by Starscream Gaga; 03-31-2014 at 10:09 AM.. |

With subs it was even better. I really liked the jokes especially if the more serious characters were involved. I would have never guessed that Takatora lends itself well to comedy
I appreciated alot about this special that every character was wirtten completely in character. You always believed that they acted natural in these situations. |

That mecha fight behind Takatora was the best part.
