So a few strange birds appeared who just wanted to try out some good food.
Was funny to see their reactions during the fire that Kanban made.
I seems they are learned new things every episode.

Humans went extinct. But it is not known where they went or what happened to them.

Ceruleans appear near humans.

The cooking session was relaxing.

Friends are humans who were transformed into animals.

There is something important about friends somewhere underground (a bunker maybe?)

Bag-chan and Serval had to cook food for the two owls to find out who Bag-chan is. Their reaction to the fire was funny. They really liked the curry. Friends are animals who were transformed into humans. Humans possibly went extinct, but that is unknown.

Still don't know much about Ceruleans. I'm guessing they have something to do with the extinction of humans.

Notice the "since we have these bodies now" word?
This is just makes me more curious about the probably-twist story. More likely some after-disaster plot, but it can't be end like that. >_<
So now they get into another labyrinth-like place, but unlike before it goes with some puzzle that needs to answered first to proceed. And then Bag-chan finally can learn about who/what kind of creature she is.
I guess the next thing is to find another "human" beside Bag-chan.

Toki (ep 3) and Beaver (ep 4) have both said that their bodies have changed and now they have to learn how to use them.

But I like how they just dropped whole extinction thing and almost right away went for more cute adventures. Topic might come back but I would be glad if for rest of the season it remained somehow in the background.
So far it worked.

As for episode - not as fun as last week. ShoeBill was cute, owls less creepy than I thought.

PS. Nice visual when Bag-chan heard about humans being gone and her eyes went dim, like all extinct species.

However, I think the adventure will be "harder" than before since Bag-chan is now knew the "Truth". She needs new objective to complete now that she knew what kind of creature she is plus with that "extinct" in mind. So sad. :(

You mean this? :3

I think they told us that Friends are animals that turned into human-like forms somewhere near the start. Serval even assumed that it happened to Bag just recently in the beginning.

I guess they will go to the concert now, but they really need a new objective. Too bad the owls didn't have any good ideas. Maybe they'll find somebody who knows something among the people who gather for the concert?

Yes - actually it shows that animation in this show is cheap but they know how to use it.

They already have one - trying to find humans. It did seem that owls didn't knew everything.
There is also whatever Fennec and Raccoon want to do.

All of this is enough for those 5 episodes of fun and cute adventures.

both hakase and her assistant i definetly use kaban to their edge lol, and i see they're still have their instinct since they're afraid with fire
Also that change and small detail on the OP great af
5/5

So let's Gather every puzzle we get so far!
1. They're aware their body change to shape of human
2. Lucky-Beast Probably the helper robot for human since he won't interupt or help kaban inside the "Attraction" since i assume his program still no changing even after the human extinct. also Hakase mention that lucky-beast used to use that kitchen to make a thing so i assume there's another type of lucky beast
3. Cerullian always live near the human, they're probably the reason of human extinct beside that eruption.
4. there's something in the underground or bunker as Fennec mention, and that feather is probably recognition tool for lucky beast to responds
5. so japari bun is something they can grow in some place since assistant mention that they're use some japari bun lawn for growing vegetable

The way I understood it, there is a field somewhere, where vegetables are grown. They are normally made into japari buns (probably by Lucky Beast robots), and that's the main source of food for many Friends (presumably, vegetarian ones can still graze or something). But the owls stole some of the vegetables, and were sure to point out that was a minor amount of them.

LOL "I don't know why...but I can't stop eating" they were very delighted with the spicy curry that Kaban cooked and prepared for those 2 owls!
3/5.

Owls eating curry, and serval eating a raw banana lol just worried for their tummies but apparently they know they gained humanlike bodies.
Mystery's building, raccoon still far away, underground thing, Ceruleans near humans, extinction or just disappear somewhere, & seems robots tend to fields & make japari buns. And they might learn from PPaP penguins (lol cant unsee the apple library, apple...pineapple...ugh).
Owls life lessons: humans like the hard winding way while animals go straight (lol and reemphasized by the cooking vs raw idea). Avoid the unknown (Ceruleans), and life is good with good food.

I'd like more shoebill too. They might be going with contrast-moe (some call it gentle giant trope), appears cold & angry but really just socially awkward.

That awkwardly glorious moment when an anime (or translators) aimed at kids, as the only anime/manga/tv show/movie/book/etc, in a very long time correctly uses term species, while most shows cram in race (part when owls speak about humans being peculiar species).

So Kaban is a human? Interesting. I wonder what they are like.
lol at Serval calling Shoebill scary.
Bye, Lion. I'll miss you.
lol at Serval saying she'd stop at the entrance.
New OP version.
Owl Friends have appeared.
Kaban and Serval getting their Shokugeki on.
LMAO at Eurasian Owl telling Serval that she finally made herself useful.
LMAO at them getting scared of the fire.
Lol at the Owls damage controlling.
LMAO at the Owls keep eating.
They passed. So what is Kaban actually?
*drumroll* Kaban is a human! What a reveal.
All the Friends transformed into humans.
Humans went extinct? WTF!
PPP concert tickets?
LMAO at Eurasian Owl saying that Serval's joking.

"Now we only have to find out where 'humans' live." I think you're going to get some bad news...

The other Friends don't know how to read? Well, I guess that's understandable, considering they used to all be full animals...

The questions are definitely set up like a fun game/tourist trap meant for human visitors. Lucky-san won't answer them...is he programmed to treat Kaban like any other human tourist?

The owl girls using their cute charm/claiming their brains need the energy to get Kaban and Serbal to cook for them was pretty funny.

Kaban is the only one not afraid/bewildered by the fire. Reminds me of that prehistoric SpongeBob episode.

So it's highly likely humans are extinct. Where on earth would they be in the park that no Friends have been able to find them?

So this IS some post-apocalyptic School Live shit, I KNEW IT.

OK maybe not, and maybe they just think humans went extinct, because they can't find any themselves. My mind immediately went to "maybe they're underground", and the episode also brought that up, so maybe they are just hidden?

Then again, why would a kid like Kaban be left alone in Japari Park without any humans looking for her if there were any humans left?

I also like how the owls and Serval were weary of the fire, as they naturally would be. Also the curry eating scene just killed me.

How the friends are still afraid of fire was a nice touch.

Despite the complaining they really enjoyed the curry.

I somehow doubt that humans are actually extinct. I think they just evacuated the park.

Kaban cooked a delicious meal for two funny owls who provided some valuable information about humans. They even gave Kaban and Serval PPP concert tickets. That's nice! I did't' expect to see idols in this show. I can't wait to see their performance.

Apparently, the humans they went extinct. I wonder what really happened to them.

"We Friends are animals who were transformed into human."

Wow. That was a shocking revelation.
