Summary:
Birdy and her bug boss Officer Megius inform Tsutomu that his corpse is in for repairs and body work on Econos-Quill and Birdy is his loaner. Until his own body is fixed Tsutomu’s consciousness is stuck inside Birdy and forced to ride endless 4-D rides. Meanwhile, Geega’s men are transporting the Ryunka when the driver falls asleep and crashes into Nakasugi Sayaka’s car. It looks like a mysterious agent then steals the busted Ryunka box and does something to Sayaka so that Sayaka won’t die.
Since Geega is on the IR, Bacillus offers to get the Ryunka back. He figures Birdy took the Ryunka and so ambushes her on a TV show’s set. His stretchy arms and sensitive nose give Birdy a tough time at first, but his host’s body eventually starts falling apart. Birdy is forced by Tsutomu to save the injured reporter, Muroto Keisuke, and so Bacillus gets away. Since Bacillus is an alien parasite who absorbs the knowledge and bodies of others, he figures it’s time to eat Geega.
Reaction:
I knew there was something suspicious about Sayaka, even though she was just a stock sickly character when I first suspected something sinister about her. I wonder what that agent did to her, since it didn’t look like they fused bodies. Speaking of fusing, it was interesting to hear that Birdy could not communicate with Tsutomu telepathically without risking a mind-fuse. If Tsutomu puts his mind to it, he could master ventriloquism by the end of the season.
Bacillus was a nice early villain, and his rotting zombie sliminess helped differentiate him from other tentacle monsters. I question his judgment in eating Geega, since now Bacillus has one less ally and his body is missing an arm. Then again, perhaps this is not much of a problem for tentacle monsters… On a different note, does being able to change into Tsutomu mean that Birdy no longer has to rent her own apartment?

Birdy probably signed a lease so she has to pay rent regardless. I found Tsutomu to be a real pain in the ass with his poor attitude, kids these days have no respect.
MOAR Shion less Tsutomu!
Watch the OVA…
I find Shion a lot hotter as a character compared to Birdy even if the latter’s scantily clad. Must be that alluring and slow tone of voice of hers. Damn.
Sayaka’s going to turn into someone/thing evil who Birdy’ll have to fight but Tsutomu will try and stop her and use some sort of LOVE POWER to fix everything. Or something like that. I haven’t seen the OVA by the way, this is just a (very poor) prediction.
Crusader: If Birdy was smart, she would have only signed a 6 month lease.
Shinn: I think I like Birdy’s Shion form better too, because Birdy’s costume is kinda fugly and the hair is a bit weird. Plus Shion has been designed specifically to appeal to the masses.
Omisyth: This is so Nanoha A’s that I am sure Ryunka == Book of Darkness. Can’t wait to see Ryunka turn into some tiny chick that can fuse with everyone!
Et tu, Kabitzin? Well, her new hair style is, unfortunately, off by 90 degrees and her face has lost sharpness. However, her costume is still coloured in accordance with the Deception corporate identity and her new boots kick ass. What more could I ask for? A beer maybe. Yeah, a cold beer would be fine.
Just a note Kabitzin, by eating Geega, he’s actually taken over his body and his memories… rewatch the scene when Birdy tells Tsutomu who Bacillus is.
It’s kind of ironic though, that Tsutomu had to die, and Birdy had to go to Earth for so long just to catch Geega, and he ends up getting killed by his own accomplice for stupid reasons.
I feel a tomato juice ending coming.
