How is it that these side episode managed to be more interesting to me than anything the main series was trying to sell?
The camera girl is instantly compelling as a character, and probably for similar reasons to the creepy gourmet guy you become fascinated with the way she sees the world. It's all just photography and watching things through a lens, which may be a pretty blunt metaphor but it works for this setting. My favorite moment had to be when he was in the process of throwing her out a window to her death and her only reaction was "this would make a cool picture." Gotta love it. From the first few episodes of season :re that I've seen it looks like she's going to be a recurring character, though confusingly her personality seems to have completely been rewritten.
The gourmet is ever the creepy guy you love to hate and surprisingly fun to watch. 8/10
