![]() ![]() In place of all the things he doesn’t know, he fills his heart with all the things he does, including that she’s a good person, and completely misses how she suspects she used to be a bad one. Needless to say, Kimi has become quite fond and trusting of Alicia, in spite of the fact so much of her is still shrouded in mystery. Siesta returns to apologize, only to see the two together, wish them every happiness, and storms off in a fresh barely-concealed huff. ![]() Siesta and Kimi have a tiff and go their separate ways for the day, but Alicia isn’t far behind, and Kimi presents her with a gift-the ring she liked at the curbside jeweler-and she asks him to slip it on her finger as a groom would. Siesta is again harsh and clinical in questioning the grieving mother, causing Kimi to interrupt, while Alicia comforts the mother by assuring her that it wasn’t a one-sided relationship. Siesta, Kimi, and Alicia visit the grief-stricken mother of the woman, and regrets only taking and never giving to her daughter. Then sirens blare, and the next victim of the heart-stealer is revealed. Kimi disagrees, and allows Alicia to continue investigating beside him. Siesta is rather harsh and perhaps even a little possessive of her Sidekick when she informs Alicia that her services as substitute detective are no longer required. They’re hard because he couldn’t find the kitchen knife, which Siesta confirms is still missing. This episode starts off with a gag-that the carrots in the curry Kimi made are too hard. Now that she’s gone, I’m not sure I care where this show goes next… Sure, the Detective is Already Dead…but we’re spending most of the time with her still alive. Yet even this is so oddly and sloppily presented that finally witnessing how the Detective who was Already Dead dies elicited no more than a shrug, and a bit of a yawn.Īs if there weren’t enough clichés in this episode, it ends with Kimi waking up in his bed, presumably in the present when he’s rolling with Nagisa…but who knows? It’s a bit frustrating to think that all these episodes that took place with Siesta, and indeed made up the bulk of this cour, were just one long flashback that undermined the show’s premise. Then the giant stupid monster comes out of nowhere and tries to eat Kimi, only for Siesta to dive into harm’s way, push Kimi aside, and get killed. ![]() Hel reveals that she’s a personality created by Alicia to deal with all the torture, or something. Our heroes move awkwardly and stiffly across the barren, boring battlefield. Giant vines pop out of the ground, but they’re mostly a series of still shots. It’s a trick as cheap as much of the animation, framing, and general direction of the final showdown between Hel and Siesta/Kimi. When he does, she’s only playing dead…at least at this point. ![]() I was just waiting for Kimi to go back to Siesta. Seems kinda dumb! But then the entire excursion into the deeply unimpressive SPES HQ is a bit of a waste of time, unless you got anything at all out of the deadpan monologue of SPES’ space plant uber-boss. Kimi and Char go off on their own armed only with guns against an enemy they know to be superpowered. It’s as clear as it is by the name of the anime that this will be Siesta’s last mission, especially since Char keeps telling Kimi he’s going to regret not hugging Siesta or having her pat his head. We’ve now arrived back at that scene on the boat where Siesta, Kimihiko, and Char-who is still not really a character-are headed to Secret Evil SPES Island. ![]()
