After four months of watching Kamen Rider Gotchard, we start asking the big questions: Was this worth it? Will this show truly be peak? Can Salt handle watching this show for another eight months? Join us as we discuss episodes 13-16 and wrap our heads around clunky CGI, plots that could make for great Yakuza substories, and-- hey wait didn't we see that forest before?
Will this show keep going, or will this mark the end? You can help us decide the future of the show through the polls we've scattered across Patreon, Twitter, and Bluesky!

We return to Gotch Watch with a look at episodes 9 to 12, as we're introduced to a new rider, a problematic situationship, and hit the end of the first quarter of this season. Will this be what finally breaks Salt? Find out in this possibly-penultimate episode of Gotch Watch!

After a less-than-stellar outing for Gotchard's first month, we came back for month two with quite a few surprises. Just how much did Gotchard improve over the course of a month? Did a lot of our criticisms from the first episode get addressed? See what we have to say about Uchida's first two solo-written episodes as well!
For this episode, we covered episodes 5-8 of the show. Did Gotchard find its footing and skyrocket towards greatness this month? Find out by listening to what we have to say.

Salt M Bank has been on a year-long journey of getting into tokusatsu, and after participating in the Month of the Mask back in May/June for Midnight Grappler Animals, it was time to dunk Salt into the deep waters of modern Kamen Rider by making him watch the latest season of Kamen Rider as it comes out weekly. This is partially to catch him up on the "innovations" (both positive and negative) that have happened in the years since the last Kamen Rider season he watched in full (Kamen Rider Kuuga), but also to test the limits of what tokusatsu can be.
Enter Gotch Watch, a monthly Midnight Grappler Animals sister series where we watch Kamen Rider Gotchard and give our thoughts, 4 episodes at a time.
In this first episode, we cover episodes 1-4 of the show. Did Gotchard stick its landing with its first month or is it doomed to fall into an abyss? Check out our thoughts and find out!
