When a new enemy takes over the body of one of Sumire’s friends, she is at a loss for what to do and blames herself for getting those she cares about involved in danger.

Impressions:

I thought this episode was pretty good. This show kind of started out interesting and ok, but repeated the same thing over and over and got boring; however this episode was significantly different. It still left a lot unsaid as pretty much the entire focus was all of a sudden on something new that wasn’t resolved yet, but at least it was different then just fighting the virus of the week. It seems to be rather big, involving more then just the person who took over Kyoko’s body. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the overall bad guy of the series or whatever, but it does make me wonder if they will tie into the viruses at all. It seems a bit odd for viruses to be the focus, and then all of a sudden completely switch to a new enemy that isn’t related. It’s good that they are introducing new stuff, but if doesn’t connect with the old stuff it wont’ work out too well.

Something I wasn’t expecting at all though is something actually happening involving Lola. She seemed like some random loli thrown into the plot to make fun of others and lighten the mood sometimes, technically working with them and all but nothing big happening. However at the end some weird thing happened that they didn’t even begin to explain where there is apparently some twin or clone of Lola called Lyla, and the old guy seemed to notice something happening too. The whole thing just came up so randomly and suddenly, they were just talking then some weird thing happened, she said something oddly or something she shouldn’t have known, old guy noticed it and then we see this Lyla somewhere and then nothing. Hopefully it ties in with the story, because a side story about her is all fine but the way they introduced it with this bizarre event makes it seem like there is much more to it that ties in with the story somehow.
