Popotan bounces back with a vengeance this time, abandoning all that action garbage, and going back to thought-provoking discussions about the sisters’ journey. And bathing. Basically, much of this episode is the sisters talking while bathing. Shameless really, but if you’ve made it this far into Popotan, you’re probably de-sensitized to the fanservice by this point. Anyway, at long last, they meet the mysterious girl, Shizuku, who tells them that they have reached a crossroad in their trip. Will the sisters stay together or will they split apart? Can they avoid the same mistakes that plagued the badly drawn brothers of last episode?
This one’s a pretty melancholy episode, and I really want to know how the series will end. I imagine that several loose ends will not be tied up (Why can the sisters time travel and talk to dandelions? How did the imposter brothers from Full Metal Alchemist end up in Popotan and what was their purpose?), but I am hoping to see what happens to each sister. Sadly, Unagi is not able to maintain her strong performance, and falls asleep again during the previews.
