I would be watching this til the end though,just because I'm a fan.At least I should badmouth it after watching the whole thing :P

I wouldn't say it's just a monster of the week film. Like the original series where they are on a quest to be human, the first two episode shows Bero's interaction with Kira and how she can accept him, but not her parents. The third one deals with Bera's encounter with Sora, who thinks she's human, and she must sadly try to stay away from him before he learns the truth. Along with fighting monsters, they are slowly exploring discrimination and acceptance.
