Episode 16 - Hopeful Monster

Ok..once again the anime starts with some wierd footage of the last episode. Till now, I still don't get it why they have to change the voices during the footage. To make it more scary..?? (for me, it's working as I always skip that part, the voices, no I should say the noises scare me..)

This episode continues from the part where Taro and Makoto met Naoto Kaebara and he invited them in to a small little pub to talk, however they were hesistating a little. Taro decided to stand up for the both of them and rejected the offer to stay. Just as they were about to leave, Naoto called them back and said that he will bring them to see Makoto's mother.

So they travelled on a boat to reach Naoto's house(or should I say mansion...no maybe even bigger than that) where Makoto's mother is currently residing. Throughout the whole trip, Makoto was damm quite, just staring into the water. Taro, however, was looking around curiously. Naoto was just staring at Taro as if he met someone familiar(we'll see later..).

Naoto led them to a room and told them to wait while he will go call Makoto's mother. When they were finally alone in the room, Taro questioned Makoto if he is okay with killing someone, that wavered Makoto's feelings a little. (I have a bad feeling...)

After Naoto told them that Makoto's mother was coming, Makoto started hyperventilating and there were flashes of a knife, his father dead and the photo of his father's group of friend. (that's not good right, especially the knife thing). All Taro could do was to stare at him worriedly. Then finally the long-awaited for Makoto's mother came, (she looks like a ghost..for heaven sake...) She started greeting Taro since he was from the main house and she from the branch house.

She gave condolences for Taro's sister (oops..wrong move there, white lady..) and Makoto started blaming her. It ended up with a conflict and Makoto was firing questions after questions about Taro and his past. with tears welling up her eyes, Makoto's mother only can hear her own son's rant without retaliating back. Seeing that the situation is getting worse, Taro started to stop Makoto. Finally, Makoto blew his top and reached in for his knife (oo....) but Taro stepped in and blocked Makoto's mother with his body. Then, Makoto's mother said the most surprising things, she told him to kill her if it will appease him. (I wonder if that was just a trick..) as Makoto could not do it and ran from the house and Taro followed him.

Taro lost Makoto on the way luckily as Makoto was literally crying his heart out.(first time seeing him like this, it's so damm sad.) This ends the first part of this episode, I know it's long so bear with me kae?

At the other side, Masayuki and Michio were trying to the crack into a database of Dai Nippon Bio for information, however they were unsuccessful. Masayuki started to remember what Motoi had told him about why Dai Nippon Bio was formed. Then Masayuki dosed off and O.B.E again. This time he finally evolved and become his normal self. Then he saw Dai Nippon Bio. ver they were unsuccessful. Masayuki started to remember what Motoi had told him about why Dai Nippon Bio was formed. Then Masayuki dosed off and O.B.E again. This time he finally evolved and become his normal self. Then he saw Dai Nippon Bio and infiltrated it.He started exploring when he saw dark mist coming from a corner. He investigated and found himself in a room full of "headless spirits". He totally freaked out and swam through the walls.(yes..he really swam out...). he spotted his father and Reika having intimate actions and talking about the "things
" Dai Nippon Bio are creating. Masayuki was grossed out by the intimate actions done by his father towards Reika. Suddenly, the "headless spirits" chased Masayuki and covered him, and wierd words appeared.Michio could not do anything as he was still a baby in his "spirit form".


Over at Taro's side, he was invited to live in Naoto's house since it was already late. He then discovered Naoto was actually Snark, the wierd creature that he met in the Unseen World. Naoto then had a chat with him about the theories in this world. (a little too complicated for me..). When Taro was getting ready to sleep, Makoto's mother came. He asked her about the past, but then her eyes became super scary. She abruptly end the conversation and went back.

Over in Dai Nippon Bio, the strange doctor was there typing, shockingly, the words he typed were appearing in Masayuki's eyes. That was very strange. I wonder if he was the one controlling the "spirits' thingy.

This is the end of episode 16, sorry for the long summary as lots of things happen in this episode and I can't afford to miss out one single point.^^
