Unlike the first film where the artifacts of it being a TV series felt seamless, yeah, this movie felt like an actual compilation of episodes, not a movie. The merch push from the TV show is clearer, especially with the various backpacks G-Self equipped across the film, and there are clear cuts on where the original TV episode ended or ran. It didn't help that the movie felt sluggish at times, both in pacing and in plot. There are times I felt like I should stop watching the movie due to the amount of information dump in a lot of scenes, and times that itfelt like I should watch the TV episode that this part of the movie is based on, and this is coming from the guy that dropped G-Reco as early as around episode 4 or 5! That said, this is one of those films wherein the first viewing puts me off, but later viewings might make it better.
