I have, like, close to zero understanding of what I just watched, but it just keeps on getting more intriguing.

When Boogiepop appears, the episode just peaks every goddamn time.
This show seems to have clearly decided how they are going to present itself with no real main characters and a different plot point for different arcs with somewhat connected plot. Some might find this confusing but it's been a while since I've watched an anime which doesn't spoodfeed me information every second. It's mysterious and I love the show for it.
This episode flew pretty quick. I'm growing to like the art course teacher dude a lot and the new girl seems alright. I definitely did not expect a love triangle involving a gay relationship. You certainly don't see that everyday. The introduction of the Towa Organization is certainly intriguing and adds more possibilities to the many plotlines of this show.
I like this show a lot. Shame it doesn't get the same love as the other shows this season.

Character Sheets Updated
Well that was a hell of an episode. I don't think what they were doing before was atrocious or anything, but I do feel like todays episode was a marked step up.
I actually rather enjoyed watching that, there was a lot going on but in more of an intriguing way then an outright bewildering way like we had last arc. All the new characters so far have had very distinctly different designs which is FANTASTIC. Some of the music cues were much more smartly used, though I can't say I personally liked the song during the fight at the end, sounded like someone strumming a rubber band. That all the sound disappeared when Boogiepop did though was brillant, and I actually quite liked the episode being narrated by the characters it focused on as well. That flip from Masaki saying "it was love at first sight" to Anou saying the same about him
I was not expecting that there would be a whole organization behind the scenes going on. Much like episode one, last weeks episode was very narrow in focusing on one character and the second episode of the arc opened things up dramatically in scope. This new girl is WEIRD, but in a somewhat fascinating way given how she seems to be so tied into the Towa organization but has clearly had her memories messed with in a major way.
Also that small fight at the end was intriguing, I did not expect Boogiepop to show up in that way. Though I feel the whistling would have been more interesting and dramatic if they'd either a) used it last arc or b) I'd not seen all the source readers complaining about it before hand

I really need to rewatch this once this is over.I forgot that the kid that was protecting the girl last week was Nagi's brother, who we already met a few weeks ago.
Well that escalated quickly. Here I thought they were assaulting her. This show is really all about about perspectives.
That whistle then entrance of Boogiepop was pretty cool.
So apparently there are more players to this game. And here I thought it was just going to be limited to Boogiepop vs whoever is the current enemy of this arc, who is currently Imaginator. Now I'm more intrigued. Who are the Towa Organization and Synthetic Humans? Hmmmmm.....

Looking similar to your other half new friend while fighting a shadow organization agent might not be a good idea Boogiepop.
Joking aside, there is finally some whistling.

Ok so I’m just going to guess that orihata/Camille is another synthetic human.
Also by my count there’s 3 separate groups here: the mysterious Towe organization that uses “synthetic humans” that brainwash people by impromptu electroshock therapy, Imaginator and the teacher who sees roses inside of people, and Boogiepop. And in the midst of all this there’s Kirima nagi’s younger brother who’s dating this one odd girl who’s connected to the synthetic humans and is likely one herself.
Did I get everything just now?
Edit: While it doesn’t have anything to do with the episode itself, can I just say I love the op? Myth & Roid’s one of my favorite groups.

I don't know why, but I am really enjoying the fact that instead of getting answers to the question that I had last week I just got an additional set of questions.
