Kamen Rider Gotchard Episode 31

rinne I’m sorry i wasn’t your writer.

these were actually really great episodes. each scene carried weight & we were so focused & moving these people around. unfortunately i fucking hate the premise. all of the past grievous wounds they slapped band+aids on are infected & seeping out. when on earth did rinne start having these feelings for houtaro ？i generally would not like her to crush on him in the first place but if they set the cards up better i would’ve been okay maybe even liked it if the romance was that compelling but this was such a character assassination which does make me giggle since she is playing juliet but like i can’t even joke right now. i really liked rinne when i first started watching more than a year ago. my first ever kamen rider show & we had a really cool ，strong+headed character who i had to slowly watch get shafted around with all the potential carved out by the time her next scene showed up. like i just do not get it. the ’ ’ rules ’ ’ dilemma she goes through is so trite like i know the kindergarteners watching her tribulations are bored afffff BECAUSE IT’s BORING. IT’s LAME. i really liked seeing seina show up & having rinne react & immediately cutting over to atropos. i really like to see their comparisons that they contrast by their actions. atropos being a strong adultified little girl who pretends not to desire connection & rinne who is & was that girl making strives to connect to others. but then we have to cut back to her following the RULES & it’s just tiring. & another thing that pisses me off is that minato could’ve had a really good moment to say something as a character who has been in the dark & reached for light like rinne was now but he is a character with zero depth so of course his lines are also shallow. tyhe biggest winners is lachesis & clotho. that singular line about how atropos is different was so perfect. this development between the two is also perfectly paced for our next episode. also seina was actually really fucking funny it’s just a shame what her existence is put to pirpose for. i unfortunately have no hope for rinne’s character to develope any further. she’s probably going to be conveniently too weak to fight for no actual reason again in like ten episodes. maybe it’s better in the girls remix.
