FUNimationed. (By the way, why does he have to attach a picture of himeself to the letter?)

Summary:

Makina and friends are running around the city trying to track down a rogue shikabane that seems to be targeting women. However, they always get there too late and the culprit always disappears before either her or Minari can get there. Meanwhile, Ouri gets sick and one night ends up infront of a doctor’s office. When he wakes up, Makina is there too. Apparently the doctor and a baby he is taking care of are the suspects. Makina tries to make a run with the baby, but is stopped by the baby’s mother. She and Ouri are captured, and the doctor injects her with some shikabane cells. However, these cells have no effect on Makina for she is already dead. Instead, Makina breaks free and kills the shikabane (with her Uzis!). Just as she was about to kill the doctor, Keisei arrives and stops her. Unfortunately, the doctor is murdered, later on, in a hospital.

Thoughts:

What we learned this episode:
Makina is already dead oh wait I knew that already
Makina’s family was killed in a fire
There’s some organization pulling the strings behind the scene … oooh big surprise /sarcasm

I’m a bit worried about the show moving along at snails pace right now, and honestly it’s not fairing so well against other shows this fall. I think my review yesterday pretty much covers what I want to say about this series so far;

Shikabanehime Aka – This ones a toss up. You must remember, just cause a show is below my expectation doesn’t mean it sucks (except for Kameko DX). Maybe I expected too much, being the Gainax fanboy that I am. I totally forgot my favourite Gainax works were all original works. Either way, I was expecting alot more action, and some actual storyline. I’m not getting alot of either in the first three episodes (score: D for double Uzis)

Well the show hasn’t hit danger zone yet… but its getting there.

Ooooh purple blood! Strange… but better than black blood.

So Ouri doesnt find it wierd that the telepathic cat can go through windows? Then again, he did bring a girl back to life.

Oh hey she got captured again.

My thoughts exactly.

I must of rewound and rewatched this part 5 times. I don’t get it. So she moved her hand, and this doctor just drops the syringe and accidentally pulls the trigger?? I mean its not his first time doing it (as at least 5 others have been implanted with shikabane cells). Argh. Logic fails me.

Edit: oops left out some screenshots
