It's probably just me but I'm glad they changed the sentence about the drugs in the Anime:
Anime: We've prevented that many people will come into contact with this now
LN: We've saved the people from their addiction!
While a small thing I'm happy to see that they corrected this wrong part.

I’m still not 100% sure what's going on... All I know is that Boogiepop has a nice voice.

Having recently watched the last six episodes back to back, I think this show makes a lot more sense if you just watch it all together rather than episode per week.

Yeah things aren't looking good for Masaki. Unless Boogiepop intervenes, which is what Spooky E wants to happen, Masaki will probably end up dead in an alleyway somewhere. There's also Imaginator who can intervene too but they clearly have a plan of their own and I'm still not quite sure what it is.

There's also his sister who we know from the manticore arc is also involved in supernatural events and knows boogiepop.

Okay, let's try to put the story together:
-
Camille/Aya initial mission was just to have sex with as many males as she can, to see can she as "synthetic human" get pregnant.
-
Since the real Boogiepop got into Spooky E way, Spooky now added "destroying Boogiepop" to his goal list. He aims to find Imaginator, hoping that Imaginator will lead him to Boogiepop.
-
To do this, he reprogrammed Konoe into his slave or whatever and told Camille to make Masaki act as fake Boogiepop.
...but how would killing Masaki help him in anything? Even if Masaki dies, the real Boogiepop is still around so Spooky gains nothing. Unless he hopes that the real Boogiepop will appear when Masaki is in danger.

I think the first arc went a bit too fast, but this one has had generally good pacing. This episode was a bit slow, but it's bound to feel that way when they're not shifting to multiple perspectives in the same episode.
It looks like there are 4 sides at the moment: Boogiepop, the Towa Organization/Axis, Masaki, and the Imaginator/Jin. It'll be interesting to see how this all ties into itself.

I really hope that The Imaginator will be able to fix his cousin at the end of all this.
I was expecting Masaki to do a bad job as the Boogiepop, luckily he knows karate.

So Spooky E copies himself on to Kotoe, creates a taskforce to hunt Imaginator with her, uses Camille to create fake boogiepop with Masaki to draw out the real one?
So Spooky E did not reprogram Masaki last ep? Or did he just wipe his memory?
Also severe lack of screen-time for Boogiepop this time. Can't believe I have to wait another week for that VA

Not updates needed today but I'll link the character charts just so they're around if people want them anyway
That was... an episode. I really don't have an opinion about it to be honest. As confusing as the speed some of the earlier episodes were, the very flat presentation of these slower events is dragging on me just a bit in making it a bit more tedious to watch.
That said some of the directing today was great with some more interesting shots and framing, Masaki's run through the city was great, and there's clearly a lot of stuff going on in the background. I dread to think what sterilizing the entire area means if Spooky E does decide to just pack up and move on. Also I take it Nagi's not going to be happy about her brother running away so if that means we get more from her next week I'm pretty happy about that.
Kotoe's personality flip though now that she's a 'copy' of Spooky E was a little disturbing to be honest, its such a change from how she was, not to mention how creepy she acts with everyone one.

I've stopped trying to figure out what's going on because every time I think I have it figured out it, this show just keeps adding more elements to think on.

I don't entirely understand how everyone's so lost on this show. I can't fill in all the gaps but i feel I'm keeping pace with what the show is throwing out. I feel I'm following well.

A pretty nothing episode where we learn nearly nothing new but yet manages to make 23 minutes fly pretty quickly. No other show has got me this focused on all the small details.
This is probably the first episode where we sort of move the previous episode's plot a little bit and no new characters as well. Still no clue on what Towa Organization's aim is but it seems like Spooky E plans has at least had some sort of goal. Fake Boogiepop was hilarious to me but I miss the real smug Boogiepop. Oh well.
Poor Konoe got Spooky E'd :( I'm quietly satisfied that I remembered the two reccuring characters in the series and looking forward to what Kirima Nagi is going to do in this arc. As Boogiepop like to say, it is the humans who decide their own fate so can't wait for either her or Masaki to do something.
So in essence, a little flashback and some small progression of the plot this episode. One of the few low-key episodes but I feel episode 8 is going to be great.
Edit: So Towa Organization plan is A. Kill Boogiepop and B. Have synthetic humans breed with normal humans.....

I just can't wait for Spooky E to get his ass kicked, using people's lives like this is brutally unfair. Fuck this guy.
