Welp, another episode, another character with a dangerous ability in the city.

Meanwhile, the police are starting to catch up about the info related to Bem and the other characters. Kinda interesting the way the plot is developing even with 'monster of the week' format episodes.

I was quite unfortunate for Summer to not get the idea that her new boss Felt was working for the so called "Unseen Council", she be better off not trusting anyone from her own dept especially from the 1st Division..

That monster for this week was certainly lame, I mean seriously a human Vacuum cleaner.

An Ok episode i guess, we get to see that upper finally made a move with the special task force and everything.

Although nothing special happened this episode and that vacuum cleaner guy was alright. :/

Must admit it got interesting enough I did not cringe once. I guess they are going with better human drama the deeper the plot goes. Staying determined as of now.

It was the first human-monster who got wronged by the society and had a decent ideal, that ultimately ended up twisted. Even Bem did not try to finish him off right away, he tried to talk him back into humanity. Quite tragic, in Japan some children end up about the same as this litter cleaner did.

Things are getting a hella lot creepier now, that's for sure.

Not even the Police can be salvaged from the issues of Outside, rather than the "unseen council" the provisional new chief was working for in the background, if this is the course of actions Upper is taking. The only option is for Summers to discern right from wrong, and is a shame if she doesn't do that sooner.

Hoh a vacuum cleaner guy...the first human-monster to have ideals for the greater good, just twisted in the minds of the enemy. Bem just didn't kill it because it had humanity left behind.

Seems like Bem, Bela and Belo have another enemy to deal with...

It was a good episode. I got a little excited, I admit it. Bem appreciates humans too much, I would have let the chief of special operations die instead. That man will be a great nuisance.
Something tells me that Uper is connected to the mad scientist, I think the city was granted as a great laboratory of experiments.
Why do senior officers follow the orders of a yokai woman? Why does she want to capture Bem? I'm intrigued.

Ps: Bem and Agent Summers are like Superman and Lois Lane, hahaha. He arrives just in time to save her.

I think that monster girl controlling the city is just that - big boss for every corrupted scum who wants to have a piece of it. They can't overthrow her because she is a monster, but they can play nice and see themselves rewarded with some dog snack. She might have been the one who found the city in the first place. Given there is no deeper plot than that, of course.

It's a decent anime but the meme villains just don't fit with the tone of the show. :/

So far villains were some retards who wanted power for this or that reason. Almost like it was in Garou. In this "tokusatsu" genre only the main villains retain some interesting motivations behind their villainy ways. But the Vacuum Cleaner guy was nice.

I dont know if I had different subs, but in mine she told her collouge (before entering the car) that he is a minion of the unseen council, dont know why she helped him anyway though.

very good episode. I hope we see more of Summers and Bem. maybe they get closer since she know that her new boss is up to no good. I'm curious to know what kind of villain they will have to face in the next episode. I hope they don't get caught tho.

lol creepy vacuum man, at least he got an interesting backstory & real motivations, twisted ideals. Wonder what the ash in his eyes suggest.
We're getting more stuff on the lab, unseen council/police, and other groups starting to converge on the trio.
Eh, Bem likes to just stand there instead of escape.
I liked the humanity talk of Belo & Bela. Also Sonia arguing with her former Upper boss over corrupt character & ideals was more interesting than much of the action.

I find the enemy this time pretty good, having a backstory on why he became a monster unlike previous enemies

Looks like the police department has finally accepted the humanoid monsters existence

I know I'm late but

This episode was not as bad as the ones before although it had the same plot: enemy terrorizes the city killing dozens of innocent people. I like this one because of the shocking backstory of this character. The show is however getting kind of ridiculous with the number of deaths though...
