Christ, this episode took bloody ages to come out. I finally managed to locate a version of this episode on Share (Perfect Dark didn’t help much either). And if this was the only series, then okay, but the same thing happened for Porfy no Nagai Tabi and Ultraviolet as well. A raw for Porfy appeared with a delay of more than four days, and Ultraviolet’s fifth episode still hasn’t shown up. What happened?
In any case, it again took me a while to figure out what really went on in this episode, but it turns out that this was about a group of three policemen, of which one accidentally shot an innocent criminal. He convinced the two others to keep everything a secret, and he kills the wife of the policeman who was beginning to suspect what he had done, making it seem like an accident. This policeman then out of revenge for his wife starts killing off the three policemen.
It’s ironic, how out of all four policemen, the only one who was really evil and started everything was the only one who lives. He’s going to jail, indeed, but the bastard did drag three others into the own problems he created, in an attempt to get away from his responsibilities.
There was a bit of experimental animation here and there, when a scene changed from one location to the other, there was this neat transition-effect. IT worked pretty well to give a bit of energy to the whole episode. Mahou Shoujotai used a similar technique once, where it also put emphasis on these transitions on purpose, in order to keep the viewer on its toes. The effects are quite interesting.
