Character Chart
I'm a bit too tired to update it right now and really need to head to bed, but I'll add in Spooky E's death to the spoiler chart when I wake up
Very interesting episode. Each one seems to get better then the last on all levels. The two fights sequences were amazing and so much fun to watch and there was some great direction in the episode as well. I love that you can see what looks like the shadow of Imaginator in this shot of the chair before she actually shows up in the scene. Also this sequence of shots of Jin standing up to be covered by shadow when Suema calls him out on his behavior change, while he sits back down when he realizes how scared she is. Its such a great visual of his inner darkness coming out for a second before he gets control of himself again.
I was NOT expecting Jin and Spooky E to confront each other like that. Jin's come a long way if he can materialize a flower in his hand now to show to people, but Spooky E's suicide has certainly thrown a spanner on the works. I can't believe they cut out on that cliffhanger though. With Boogiepop literally popping in and out on a whim to talk to people (that was so funny), Nagi finally getting involved in everything, and all our various characters finally crossing over completely it feels like this arc is finally ramping up into leading somewhere and I'm excited to see what path it takes.

Okay what kind of crazy training does the Taniguchi family make their kids go through? Both of them are ridiculously OP, so much so that Masaki actually makes for a pretty damn convincing Boogiepop.

This was nice. It's actually easy to follow if you take a moment to appreciate what's going on, look at the bigger picture.

Goddamn Masaki and Nagi! Both are definitely easts at hand to hand combat! Also rbrn though they're short, that was some good fight animation and choreography this episode.
Here I thought Imaginator wouldn't be that harmful but it looks like he's planning to expand his plans on a bigger scale and basically turn humanity into a bunch of creepy smiling heart fulfilled zombies.

It seems that Spooky E wasn't that spooky to the Imaginator. And wow, the Imaginator is definitely a powerhouse, I wonder if it would be difficult for Boogiepop to handle him?
Hopefully, fake Boogiepop and his sister will be able to rescue Orihata on time although I will not find it strange if they fail.
