My curiosity was at its HIGHEST with this episode and all of the alien bases lol. Both the tarsier and the owl seemed so much more terrifying when they started off as little aliens. Though, to be fair, tarsiers are still pretty freaky in real life.

The owls came out so cute, though!

This episode, it's all alien weirdo designs and drawings a-lookalike.

Unabara getting the creeps, and the rest trying to re-enact the feeling with an animal...a crocodile icefish? More like a single-celled organism with one eye...scary...

Tsuchiya's grandson Kenta does the design of his first love (aided by the father's re-drawing himself)...but what animal could it be? Not an alien as a base...but adding animal personalities here and there, is more comical than scary for Shimoda fantasizing the final result. Well, a tariser is one if they can try.

"An animal with good hearing"...and back to the alien prototype again. Every design of Tsuchiya's goes one step creepier and more absurd, which I find it hilariously funny. At least it worked out to be different types of owls.

It's been a while since I've enjoyed an episode like this. Keep it coming!

You can't never go wrong with a grey base design.

Design-bu is never miss a chance to amazed me with their surprising education.

This time its included another mystery, someone looking behind, but nothing there? Chameleon? Nah. Its because it got the transparent body. The animal without a hemoglobin, bloodless. Its an antarctic fish! As another side quest they've got an one-eyed creepy creatures called dynophyta-algae as their result of their brainstorming session. Great shit. Also, that chameleon surely erasing up my first guess about this case. Lol, they've got me really hard, there. But truly enjoy their later explanations.

The same condition with the second part where Kenta-kun's observational power indeed beyond normal. That old man, tho, truly brilliant designer. He made that shit from an alien looking creature sketch, to that fuckin wonderful mammal. How could that be? Great shit. Its somehow suggested me, that actually no alien around these world universe. Its just a suggestions of a certain earth creatures, like how these part was made.

The third part was a peak session. Its an owl, from a fuckin alien looking creature sketch again. Lmao that old man. But, truly these part the only part where i can guess it very right. That description, the explanations. Yeah, the easiest part always lead into a satisfaction. Thank you very much, designers!

Pretty good episode! Didn't expect that alien monstrosity to turn in to a Tarsier or an Owl lmao, but if you think about it the alien design is actually a pretty good base for other designs xD.

Actually learned a lot too in that episode, didn't know Tarsiers had 2 tongues or Elephants using their feet to hear. Those single cell eyes are creepy though.

Funny and educational.

It was amazing how they demystified the validation of an invisible man!

Good to know now that owls are based on aliens.

Also, the invisible man theory comment was quite on point.

Nice episode

I've been enjoying this series more and more as we go, really nice episode! That whole thing with the "alien" was fun
"In the past few months since we met, I've shared many memories with Nagato. Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH

Is anybody else wondering when "Nessie",or a Chupacabra is going to turn up?
Or some other cryptid.
How can they make something as scary as that single cell eye thing,and then turn an alien into something as cute as a Barn owl?
The education in this series is superb!
And sometimes a bit offbeat :)
Well,ok,a LOT offbeat :)

And was it just me,or did we not find out what the thing was that was watching Unabara in the bath?
Or was it actually God?
Oh well,who cares,its fun!

This show is quite funny and very educational, but this episode confused me. Who were all these people in that freaking Japanese festival supposed to be? They looked like humans in the modern era, but this show is set well before humans emerged - or not? On the other hand it has't quite yet be defined who/what exactly the designers of the "company" are.

They are not angels, only Shimoda-kun and Ueda-san are (as has been mentioned). They are not humans either since that would make no sense, right? Since their names are analogues of ancient Greek gods are they supposed to be minor gods or deities? I wonder if what they are will be revealed later on if they will remain deliberately ambiguous..

Phillppine Tarsier has a very cursed side to it, considering its supposed to be Kenta's 'first love' and a spot-on recreation from his drawing. Learned something new about Owls and especially Elephants

I genuinely liked the designing process of the owl. Seems like such a simple animal but surprisingly complex. I love how often I can't even tell which animal it will be that they are creating until the final design.
