Man, I gotta love the way this story weaves its threads so deftly and how many curve balls it can throw at you. You think it's a story about a boy meeting a troubled girl and then it veers into something else entirely and then that veers into something else entirely...

On a side note, one thing I want to point out: The scene where the girl rips her clothes off to entice the bullies - any other anime would have seen that as an opportunity for fanservice. Props to this one for not going there.

This episode saw the return of a couple characters from the first arc. Mainly Suema. The focus was on her and Aya/Camille. It's starting to look like Aya hasn't been brainwashed by Spooky E and is his subordinate in the Towa organization rather than a mere pawn. The way Spooky E gave her orders was different, and she answered normally rather than in a robotic manner.
Masaki being a karate expert was surprising. Couldn't he have beaten those bullies from back then? He seemed pretty strong. Meanwhile, Jin is still doing his thing (and enjoying high school girls' barbie doll anatomies) and Imaginator hasn't shown up again. It felt like a slow episode. I think it's the fact the storytelling is linear now that makes it feel that way.

As expected, Anou's memories didn't come back. He might not be under Spooky E's control anymore, but he's not fully himself either. The saddest thing is he can't even tell why he feels he has lost something important to him. He's crying and he doesn't even know why. Poor guy.

I guess the reason Masaki still has most of his memories is becasue Camllie convinced/pleaded Spooky E not fry and brainwash him. I do have give Masaki some decent credit for holding his own, he's got some good moves there.
It's nice to see Suema is back too, hopefully a with a bigger role in this arc. This also the most lines normal Touka has gotten, through maybe I'm mistaking but was did Boogiepop briefly appear when she was talking to Kotoe? Aoi Yuuki seemed like she use Boogiepop voice then. Poor Anou indeed though. There is strong feeling of something missing but he can't make any sense of it. I'm finding this part deeply suspicious myself. She or it basically disappeared after Jin undergone his epiphany and started calling himself Imaginator. I can't wrote that off as a mere coincidence. Maybe that really is true in a sense. |

I think the implication is that the Imaginator did show up, but she just isn't visible to Suema, Masaki, and Camille, who have free thought. It's possible that Jin has been seeing her all this time, and all the people he has "treated" all become capable of seeing her as well.

I think the explanation is more simple. I think only people with powers like Asukai or Boogiepop can see Suiko (Imaginator). I don't think normal people can see her at all. So we probably won't see her again until we see events from Asukai or Boogiepop's POV again.
