The Shinomiya family members seems like..an interesting group of folks. This episode also focused more on the twins, as well as some of their past.

I wish the twins were more useful or powerful in this show though. Seems they're always getting saved by others. Misaki dropped in just on time with that playful personality of hers.

MISAKI LET'S GOOO! She's so badass sometimes
Za nooo da!
Still I'm wondering where do all these supernatural abilities come from. Maybe we'll hear it from Phantom Solitaire. Or maybe these criminals don't know themselves.
This is really exciting to watch ngl

My favourite character is finally here :)

My doctor has always told me to smoke. He even explains himself: “Smoke, my friend. Otherwise someone else will smoke in your place.”

Polka going to meet his family. It had to happen sooner or later but especially after last episode Polka needed to make an appearance at the family estate to clear things up. It seems like they all believe this new Polka finding himself and becoming different. His nephew might be suspicious but nothing more, I think that guy just wants control of the family more than anything and sees Polka as an obstacle. The patriarch was the only person to outright say that new Polka isn't real Polka. Its hard to sneak things past someone as old and sharp as that. Those kind of people usually see through the bullshit. At least he trusted Polka after he spoke of wanting to save the twins. Which we got more clarity about, the ghost following them is their older sister, I assumed it was their mother, but after getting that brief backstory of the planned murder of the twins it makes sense why their elder sister would stay with them to keep them safe. They were almost burned alive by that imposter fire breathing bug. I'm very glad that Polka could come save them from that monster. Lemmings coming in surprisingly clutch at the end too. Things seems mostly smoothed over with Polka family but the truth will have to be told to his father sooner or later.

So...we only got more questions, ha? 

Those scenes with Suzuka (?) would have been more impactful if we actually got so see more of her.

to be honest i never expected this anime to get good. I was considering it to be some mediocre reverse isekai but, damn its good. it give 'Bungou stray dogs' vibes.
and what a bone chilling cliffhanger. man either it is really good or the makers have done a fabulous job.

Polka going back to his esteemed family, and this is the start of the troubles for the outcasted child.

The seemingly "new" Polka is surprisingly aggressive, though the relation with Misaki's family is one that the nephew Takeru knows very well, and the one that the Corpse God needs to be cautious of. Aside from the ones present, plus the head of the family Rozan himself seemingly recommended by niece Sayo for shark movies. Despite being a runaway child, Rozan is glad that Polka is back, and leaves Misaki to her own issues while he has a private talk with him to catch up on life, but the Corpse God's façade is soon unmasked, and despite it, both Kazuki and Shizuki are in mortal danger. It's clear that there's some fire  in the hunt, wihich led to Suzuka being burnt to death, and now her soul lives amongst the twin siblings as a form of protection.

Takumi going to interview the Phantom Solitaire Ten'a Somimura about the inferno caused by the fire-breathing bug, and it's only the start of the commotion. And though the twins are about to be accosted by the bodyguards, Misaki was watching closely as well, and her being undead still couldn't stop the twins from shaving their life away and suffering the same fate as their older sister Suzuka, which Polka came to their rescue. The Corpse God can finally unleash his powers, though with Lemmings coming to solve this issue, it adds to the mystery.

The Fire-Breathing Bug is just one form of message, and the words "This world is a buggy program" that are triggered by the REAL thing, what a cliffhanger for something more sinister than once thought.

Now THIS is the episode that confirms how good this show is, the best episode yet.

Major and repeated point is that these are not supernatural, just very very very very abnormal.

Finally my favorite character of the series is introduced lol

Starting from this point, the series will be more and more like a true Narita work, with crazy characters introduced left and right.
I'm especially excited for next week, because even if The Fire Breathing Bug is an extremely fascinating and creepy character, Solitaire is really my favorite.

Like everyone else, it’s hard to expect this show to be this good, since the first impression was edginess. But now, it’s still edgy with a lot of crazy, and that’s what good about it.

The animation has been good too despite what people were saying about geek toys.

I think only the first episode and last week's episode were animated carefully. It's really a shame since everything else (the plot, voice acting, OST,...) are really enjoyable.


Btw, the song at the end is a Japanese folksong called "Amefuri" ("Rainy Day").

Yeah animation in most of the scenes is sub par in this show with some way above average scenes mixed in usually for action. But still better than some other adaptations got (looking at biscuit hammer...) so I'm glad about anything we get.
