Especially when they increase their RAW quality from crappy to good.

Short Summary:

The interview with Shyamalan goes ahead as planned, and he claims he wants to make everybody in the world happy. Senkawa and Birdy continue living as normal, complete with arguing and banter, until the bastard he decides to insult the Birdy’s memory of Tute, and she somehow manages to get him to knock himself out (which was quite skillful). When he wakes up they’re shooting through space towards Birdy’s planet (on a kickass 3D whale ship) as she’s been called there in regards to Senkawa’s body. On Earth, the schoolmates plan to attend a party at Nakasugi’s house. When they arrive on the planet’s surface, they have an examination performed on them where Senkawa sees some snippets of Birdy’s memory, including a white/blue-haired person. Senkawa acts like a little kid, marvelling at everything that’s around him (and not in a cute way) and generally acting idiotic. Senkawa’s told about hopw his personality might absorb Birdy’s by the bugman hey met in episode two (though then he was in holographic form) and a dog-woman named Weegie Hayo, and that his body’ll be done in three months.

Outside again, they meet Birdy’s Director/Mentor Skeletsu, who gets into a short fight with Birdy and calls Senkawa cute. They continue to a court room, where a woman known as the Deity Nejula begins questioning Birdy, in a rather hostile manner, in the middle of another criminal’s case, about her investigation and failures in the Riunka case. Long story short, we find out that the Riunka is some sort of extremely powerful weapon that destroyed the planet of Bilugema in the medieval age (also during this time, Senkawa also puts a poor legal defence for Birdy that wouldn’t hold up in any self-respecting courtroom). Fortunately, the Deity wasn’t targeting Birdy specifically; she was just trying to give the Megius Investigation Department some information on the Riunka. Birdy receives a mobile/tool of some sort from the M.I.D and decides not to take a new partner and to stick with Senkawa (though why she’d do that, I have no idea). They walk around town for a short while when there’s a car explosion. On Earth, Shyamalan’s claiming that activating the world-destroying Riunka will make everbody happy, while a middle-aged blond man with glasses sits in the room.

Thoughts:

There’s definitely a problem with me when I’ve got three posts one after the other on this blog.

Anyway, this episode wasn’t that interesting. I’ve decided to just do short summaries for this series as not that much happens to advance the plot each episode. I’m not a complete action-freak (I just got done watching Kaiba which is BLOODY AWESOME) but one of the main attractions of the series was the well-animated fight scenes, and there were practically no fight scenes here, nor was the single one that made it into the episode well-animated.

What important new information we did get can be summarised as:

• Riunka destroys worlds.
• Body recovery’ll take three months.
• New Characters: Deity Nejula and Director Skeletsu Get.

Nothing else was really worth learning about, except for possibly the blue-haired person in Birdy’s memories, butthere’s barely anything to be gotten from that. And the court case was drawn out and very uninteresting.

Senkawa continues to be annoying as hell, especially with him being so amazed at everything like a kid with a brand new set of toys. Nyanko-sensei sums it up well and Senkawa is definitely the latter. He’s becoming increasingly useless, especially as I thought that this was supposed to be more of a partnership than anything else, but he just…sucks. He needs to become more manly, quick. I’d even settle for not as annoying.

Shyamalan’s crazy, that’s for sure; his logic that activating the world destroyer will save the world reminds of Morte’s. Nakasugi’s party is going to be the happening location of major events (and that horrible english was done on purpose) and will hopefully signal the conclusion of “Days in the Life of Senkawa’s Friends”. The mysterious person with a bird on their shoulder didn’t even show up, what happened to that plot thread? Reporter Man is still meaningless, with the accumulation of about 30 seconds of screentime, and Interview Lady (Sanada) even less so with around 15 seconds of screentime. I’m just waiting for something major to happen. And a car explosion at the end of the episode doesn’t count.

Finally, I hope the brand new tool made from Tute’s corpse parts will means he’ll be resurrected somehow.

Stop hitting yourself, Senkawa.

Actually, just keep doing that.
