I am amazed at how this series can have such a change and still remain so good.
This episode was significantly darker then the previous ones. The story revolving around a group of boys witnessing a terrible murder: a boy killing and eating a girl. They are of coures scared and seeing that the murderer was wearing their same school uniform they started to investigate to figure out who he might be.
After asking the help of a strange doctor they will discover the culprit is an alien and they will come to know his very sad story. They don't have anything to fear for themselves as the aliens only feel the urge to eat girls. It's a reproductive instinct... the bad thing is that they also feel terrible guilt of this.
At the end the protagonists simpatize with the aliens, who in the meantime left the earth, understanding the difficulty to resist the instinctive needs.
Looking back at this part of the episode I really liked it. The story was very nice and the noisy image style was suited to the mood.
Of course, the protagonist is still prince Baka and all this story is revealed to be his attempt to disclose the presence of aliens to humanity :-D
Unfortunately the producer he speaks with rejects the movie! He doesn't loose spirit though and immediately starts working on a new movie: elementary school boys will turn in a sort of gaki rangers ;-) and fight their teacher who is an evil alien!
It looks like next week the mood will change again :-D
This show continues to surprise me and is definitely one of the best of this season for me. At the moment it's in the first two positions together with Madoka. I cannot decide which one I am liking more :-)
