Great episode, the gymnastics club was cute and actually got backstory. M was rather amusing and set up some solid plot.

It's black comedy, as with airmen hilariously sliced in half by propellers (Catch 22), or couples laughably blown up by gas-filled condoms (Tom Sharpe). It might very well be a good idea for LLEN to seek professional advice, though they couldn't do much at this stage; I hope the series ends with Pito seeking a psychiatrist. Still, in some series like Baccano, and Kino's Journey, it doesn't matter how crazy you are, so long as you have personal integrity and don't kill too many people. Rather than the obvious practical point that insane persons need help, I think the writers aimed for the artistic point that it basically takes all kinds.
