Phi Brain – 04

This show is full of nutcases! This show pretty much concludes the introductions, for as far as the characters shown in the Promo material goes. And it’s still weird, yet undoubtedly creative and enjoyable. After this we should probably getting some more side characters (like the ones shown in the OP), and the plot is probably going to take off. But seriously, that new character gives a new meaning to the term airhead. And in the end, her…um his biggest problem turned out to be one of the reactions she..he evoked on another member of the cast. She… he was interesting to watch. But the love triangle this ended up creating was really annoying, especially on Nonoha. The puzzle this week convinced me that the POG is the most bizarre evil organization in existence. So we have this old widow whose late husband was a famous painter. Their butler (a member of said organization) ordered this painter to lock up his most precious painting in a safe, solvable by a puzzle. Okay, I have to give it to the creators: it’s creative. The thing is though, that the story of the old couple DID work. When at the conclusion it was revealed what the painter’s most valuable paintings were, we got into this wave of nostalgia about the past of how the two met. The music also helped here really well.
