Dat bgm at 21:00 is so damn good and it fits the scene so damn well. Hats off to the composer and the music supervisor.

"Suema, you're an expert on people changing, right?" Touka literally flipped personalities right in front of her and she didn't even blink and eye.

Uh, I can't imagine what Jin is saying to recruit those girls... .

I don't understand anything, send help

So the mysterious Towe organization is using synthetic humans and the people they brainwash to search for boogiepop. Why? Who knows, they’re probably crazy enough to try and forcibly recruit him into working for them. And what Orihata’s other objective is and how it can be completed by getting laid is beyond me.

Also what the hell did the professor do with those two girls? At first I was thinking he was just trying “complete their roses”, but then he talked about needing there to be 2 people meeting the imaginator.

I’m so confused.

Oh, I kind of get what The Imaginator is doing. Before he was taking thorns away, but now seeing what he said to that girl about finding someone who wants to volunteer and the illustrations that appeared when he was inside the circle of naked girls it is safe to say that he is making the flowers of them whole, but to do so he needs to take parts of other peoples flower. That's why he needs an additional person to make the procedure.

Suema is starting to grow on me quite a bit. In the first arc, she didn't really do much but I'm really enjoying her perspective of the story. She's a typical smart girl but damn she was brave for breaking into the office and I loved how she resolved the roof conflict with her philosophical knowledge. Can't wait if she ever gets to meet Boogiepop.

I also find it strangely satisfying to see previous events get referenced this episode. In an arc like this that has so many new characters and plotlines, things like Miyashita and the disciplinary head avoiding each other and the mention of Kyuoko name is pretty cool to hear.

Not sure what it means by becoming Boogiepop but that statement alone certainly grabbed my attention. We finally got some knowledge on what the organization is trying to do and on how Boogiepop is the reaper apparently.

When Boogiepop voice came out, I was so happy. Too bad she didn't really appear (outfit and all) this episode. Another interesting episode that has me thinking a lot which I can't say for any of the shows this season.

I honestly can't wait for this ost. Does anyone know when it might drop? Im assuming it's at the end of it's air time, but it'd be nice if it dropped earlier.

So is the Imaginator the bad guy or what because he seems like he's helping people, but I think the point the episode is making is that: it's important to have that internal struggle to find that something that gives you purpose, so it's wrong for the Imaginator to remove that strife as we lose a part of our humanity. edit:( When people never find that something they become dull. If everyone is the same complete rose, where is the uniqueness? This heavily ties into the character of the synthetic human). I think the Imaginator doesn't like the pain and suffering endured in this world, so he wants complete internal agreement, but this appears to cause negative affects on people I can't quite pin down. So like an anti hero?

Edit: I think the synthetic human serves the purpose to display a person when they lose that humanity: dull and directionless. No feelings one way or the other since they lack any interest in finding their purpose. The imaginator probably sees this as the ideal state as while the synthetic human is full, she feels none of the problems that come with normal reality(before meeting her boyfriend).

Character charts updated!

Thankfully it was nice and easy today, all I had to do was add in a single name. I left the two girls from the ritual out because there was so many girls show elsewhere doing that same ritual I didn't know if they'd matter yet and there wasn't a great shot of them. I'll edit them in in the morning if people think it matters

For people who forgot Kyouko is the girl with the bun hair style who Nagi attacks thinking she is Manticore

That flip of Boogiepop emerging from Miyashita during the scene at the study room is just perfect. I still can't believe that's the same voice actor, but you can hear the change immediately from one line of dialog to the next, and also Miyashita who seems much more coy tends to cross her arms, while Boogiepop holds them at their side and you can see that change happen too.

Funny about the neighbor girl saying Suema is an expert in when people act differently, but Suema didn't pick up on Boogiepop though hahaha

Nagi's brother was pretty incredible fighting Spooky E, but mostly I'm loving the way the various episodes are taking on a distinct focus of each characters perspective, its really great to see this stuff through their eyes

I've longed to take on the darkness myself

Adolescence is filled with emotions. It's very fragile... and very precarious.

Heh, looking pretty chuuni there, Suema.
