So Hagino isn’t the only one with secrets from what I can see. Step by step, everything is being revealed to Mari, but at what cost? In this episode, everything almost—and I mean almost—went wrong; there was a real moment of tension there.

Hagino is rebelling more and more against her 'species'—for now I’ll call them that because I'm still not entirely clear on what or who Hagino/Ekaril is, but they’ll probably tell us as the episodes progress.

You know what’s keeping me intrigued, though? The whole 'great incident' and the tsunami. I really hope they explain it in more detail soon.
