THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
As if the episodes aren't already short enough, first 2:30 minutes were completely wasted on bits of scenes from the previous 4 episodes. >.>

Second half had some actions scenes with Touko cutting her hair to show her resolution and her dad talking to her over the phone. Nothing special there.

The ending was somewhat cliffhanger-ish, I guess? Touko probably does resemble Chris as she said in the confrontation, but I can't say for certain without any backstory. At least, the fight could've been interesting, if we were shown that..

Such a shame this only had 3-4 mins per episode. The plot really seemed intriguing with the box referred to as "Monster" that'd save the future of Japan. Next, we had the opponent side's introduction and one of the (main) character's family circumstances, followed by some girl talk and a touch of romance, which wasn't bad either. Action-packed ending wasn't enough to patch up the story on a short note.

Quite disappointed, but can't really expect much from an anime short like this. Just hope that this gets a full adaptation someday. So much wasted potentials..

Thanks for the translation. A bit disappointed it didn't offer any sense of conclusion in episode 5 for the standoff.

Just a trailer of an episode, a thing they would've done all along instead of cooking up 4 more episodes. Basically I got nothing from this series, just a load of bullshit presentation.

Animation is good, the story's premise seems intriguing. Too bad it isn't fully finished. Felt like a failed project, that only advertised the original source.
