Nijuu Mensou no Musume – 20



Short Synopsis: The scientist has a back-up plan, and tries to activate it in this episode.
Highlights: Interesting twist that fits with the series’ themes.
Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10
Aah, there are two episodes left and I still have no idea what the name of the major villain is! It gets annoying to keep calling him “the scientist”, but oh well. This episode was enjoyable, but I’m still waiting for that “Oomph” that was present at the doll-arc. This episode was mostly about the scientist’s secret, and I do admit that it was a pretty interesting one: he turned himself into an android. And not just any android, but one shaped like Nijuu Mensou.

It fits perfectly with the paranoia that the people had after the war. With the human-shaped robots, made out of solid steel, that could imitate others perfectly and resist bullets like a bunch of flies. Now, he in a strange sense of irony, took on the form of Nijuu Mensou. Probably after hearing about his popularity.

The question now really remains: are the creators able to close this series off properly? The doll-arc was much shorter than the scientist-arc, but it did have a much bigger impact. These final two episodes really need to be amazing in order to be able to make up for it. One thing that I really hope is that the creators are going to switch to that experimental animation-style again. It worked really well when that doll tried to drown Chiko, but ever since Chiko’s little show on her broom, it disappeared entirely.

  1. *Sigh* only 2 more episodes, meaning it has to conclude with this arc. It kinda bothers me too that I couldn’t care less whether or not they did mention the scientist’s name since I wouldn’t bother remembering it anyways. *tosses ‘the scientist’ into the list of villains who are just there for the sake of having a villain list*

  2. After Nijuu Mensou got “killed” in that train wreck in, like, episode 9 or something, this show kind of got killed too. It was so nice to see Chiko grow and learn and outsmart people REALISTICALLY… why did they have to switch to stupid science fiction phenomenons…

  3. I agree with helen.. i mean , it was sooo cool to see chiko learn from the best.. i wanted to see her more with the guys and be more like the phantom .. but still i wanna see the 2 last epsiodes ^^..
