Wow. No comments on this episode yet.
Personally, gave up on it about 10 minutes in. Tom and Crow asking if there were any other Gamera movies just rubbed me the wrong way and brought to mind all my issues with the reboot throwing out the torture that the host and bots are supposed to be undergoing and just treating the whole thing as a show. Yes, that's silly and I'll give this episode another try, but wish they'd take the premise more seriously while still being funny. Less vandville, more deep hurting.

Though the torture element is still there at times.

Yeah, just not as consistant as MST3K classic always was.
And it's just a show, so I should really just relax.
Happy overall with the reboot, but some things still just hit me as wrong at times

That was Robotwars with me. This was solid, but at the same time I'd rate it under the other Gamera riffs. The only standout for me was Santo, which I like better than the Vampire Women one. The others are solid, though.

I think this one suffered a little bit from the fact they weren't allowed to edit the movie down at all.

I thought this was a great experiment. Much better after the second viewing.  8)
