Too bad the party sucks.There isn’t a chance in hell I’m doing a longer summary for this episode.
Short Summary:
While Birdy and Senkawa investigate the scene of Senkawa’s death for clues about a marionette robot, his classmates enjoy Nakasugi’s party. Shyamalan talks with yet another blond-haired man with glasses about the Riunka and “raising” it, Sanada meets with Muroto to discuss Shyamalan’s powerful hold on her companies’ members, the old maid Yoshio believes Nakasugi’s acting odd and Senkawa shows up and has a touching time with Nakasugi where they both understand each other as they both “died” somewhat, blah blah blah Nakasugi completely loses it and tries to kill the cyberbird which belongs to the mysterious woman (and can also speak telepathically, it seems).

Next Time:

• The shit hits the fan.
• Nakasugi starts killing people.
• Something vital to the main plot actually happens.

Thoughts:

God, this was boring. Nothing happens at all that hasn’t already occured until the last 30 seconds. To our surprise it turns out that ZOMG NAKASUGI IS THE RIUNKA!!! And then we had an extremely cute and emotional stupid and pointless talk about death and how they’d both died and empathy and how they want to have hawt secks. The whole thing was just emo interweaved with “Days in the Life Of Senkawa’s Friends: Extended Edition”. They are completely useless, until the show’s climax anyway, when they’ll probably all band together for a fight against the, at the moment, nonexistent big bad boss.When Shyamalan and Sanada showed up I thought things would get interesting, maybe a few revelations but instead they each said respectively “I know what I’m doing” and “People are scared of Shyamalan’s power”. Yay for covering new ground -_-.

The animation took a huge dip as well. We’ve gone from awesome fight scenes full of explosions and high speed action to weird character designs for everyone but the two main characters. Hayamiya’s face looked like it was going to collapse in on itself at one point.

Fortunately next week looks mildly interesting, with Nakasugi’s late night trips as a werewolf killing people. I may be sound obsessed with her killing people but that’s because I want someone to die in this show so the characters can do something other than have one of the most distinguished crappiest parties I’ve ever seen.

These characters are some of the most deeply developed and useful I’ve seen in any show.

Don’t you see it?

Swimming is a metaphor for facing and conquering your fears.

Bet you never thought of that, did you?
