Trying to make any sense out of this series is futile and will give you a headache, so just sit back and enjoy the wacky ride

I don't know I really liked this episode. We got to have a deep look at Mamimi and see how twisted she is with her fantasies and pyromaniac tendencies.
I noticed that whenever Naota looks at her lips, he blushes and then his bump thing grows. Indirect reference to desire, more specifically... an erection? FLCL seems to be an anime about Naota growing up so maybe that's what the horns are.

Ah well, I've watched the first two episodes of this and I still can't seem to get invested in it (I could feel my mind entering a drowsy state :L). I might watch the other 4 episodes at some point, though, just to help me get to sleep, if nothing else. :P

Forget the plot in your first viewing.

After you see all the episodes, you might be able to piece it together a bit, but it's still not important. It goes straight for the id, all else is windowdressing.

I still think it's weird to have romance between a 12 yr-old kiddo and a 17 yr-old high school chick.. man what was the producers thinking making the protagonist a kid and shit

but.. I've read some comments above that this anime is supposed to not make sense.. so like.. it's point is that it doesn't have a point

The plot isn't too complex, just told in a bizarre way. This is what I believe is happening in this episode:

- X-Rays show that Naota has an empty head which has become a portal for robots to come through.
- Robot from the last episode is doing chores for the family
- Haruko failed breaking in to the factory
- Mammimi has been starting fires around the city and has basically lost her mind since Naota's brother has left her (she also may be homeless?)
- She also has a past incident where she lit her old school on fire which is where she met Naota's brother
- Another robot comes out of Naota's head
- Naota and the other robot fuse together to fight the new robot

This episode really had a great deal of brainstorming required. It touched upon Mamimi's past relationship with Naota's brother Tasuku, and her uncanny obsession with fires, which was due hinted at the number of seemingly spontaneous arsons throughout the neighbourhood. In fact, the idea of the Fire 'God' is a subject of subconscious hallucination by Mamimi (IMO), which goes back to her experiences in the elementary school six years ago. Besides the fact we know that she 'hated' the school, no other reasons were given thus yet, only pure speculations (hints such as her being bullied, her being likely to be homeless). As such, I'd really hope to see further development from this later on.

Like again the action served as a 'chiller' of sorts from the intense thinking process required in the episode, Gainax-style. I guess they only had the budget for such high quality animation thanks to I.G. Now I don't need to worry about the anime being destroyed due to budget issues.

The soundtracks that they played were quite good again.
It seems that the game that the girl is playing is connected with real life because the more that the she plays it, the more fires there are and the game is about making fires.
I like the development in their relationship.
It also seems that every time that the kid thinks of something perverted, he gains one of those horns. I guess you could say he's horny!-da-dum-tss.........
anyways, another thing that I noticed was that every time that the kid is in trouble the motorcycle girl's wrist thing twitches.

Lol at that Takkun x Televi-kun combining by drill. Gainax would later realize they can make a whole 27 ep show based on just that :D

Like some other people, I have literally no idea what's going on. And it's not entertaining or anything; it's just plain boring. Dunno if I'll sit through the whole thing.

I think I understand this to the extent it's supposed to be understood at the moment. This show honestly gives me a bit of a headache with it's fast pace though so there's a chance I'm not understanding nearly as much as I think. I still don't really like the voice acting but maybe it'll grow on me. I do like the robot though, he seems cool. I'm also digging the music in this show.

Action scene was ok. Nothing major has been explained. I have no reason to care for any of these characters. The only thing interesting is why the main character was run over by the Vespa, and why he has the "power" to summon these robots. MY early prediction is that the brother is dead or he is the final boss of this anime. More likely he will be some random off screen semi mcguffin.

The only good part was the music.
Yet another robot appeared from his head, the previous one ate him, powered up and defeated the "bad" one,I'm not going to say how he got out, that was disgusting.

Much better than the first episode, but still chaotic, and mixes drama, action and the most brainless humor I've seen.

Music is great, though.

I can't help but feel like, if they made music videos with this animation quality and music rather than making this show, it would have resulted in a far superior product.

That scene where it's revealed that
is genius. All that swirling disembodied interrogation dialogue interspersed with that deadpan description of the firestarter game--it's like it dawns on you and Naota at the same time. Probably the spookiest scene in the show.

now i see a lot of similarities with the chaotic style of kill la kill. i might even watch it again after this.
but man, i still don't know if i like mamimi that much...

the soundtrack is still perfect, though. it's noisy, but it goes pretty well with all the wtfery going on.
i mean, this anime is noisy in all senses, isn't it?

Now one of those robots that came out of his head is now a part of their family. Lmao.

The animation of this anime is ridiculously over the top especially during the action sequence.

Now a new horn grew outta his head and it's larger, and a fucking larger robot came out of it and fought the TV robot. Lmao.

And yep his brain is missing. What the fuck.
