First, I'm glad that the two lovely ladies Naomi (岡村尚美-白井小百合) and Kanzaki (神崎律子-渡辺奈緒子) are back, it gives the series a sense of continuity
Spoiler
I kind of like the way R1 kept failing the Max Chakusou. Apparently just trying again and again fixes things XD
Daaen was awesome in this episode. I kind of wish he was purple R1 throughout the whole episode.
We see under his mask at last and... he has crazy purple eye? What?
Also liked Naomi fighting and telling Kanzaki to hurry up
Kanzaki continually handing the Max Commander to R1. If her little thing can tell whether or not it's "complete" or not, why didn't she just keep working on it till it said "complete" in the first place? Lol
Don't know what I think of R1 Max's costume, but making the effects were fun
The last part was very fitting for the dramatic aspect of Rescue Force. /me salutes
