A lot of weird cuts, garish colors, extreme close-ups. Creepy images, terrified victims, horror vibes.

Yup, these are Ishida episodes alright!

Major Unidentified Lifeform #0 vibes all throughout these ones. And, holding true to the pattern, this is also the most interesting I've found the monster chunk of Hibiki yet. I can't get enough of Ishida's Grongi scenes, so to see an episode of Hibiki open with like a full minute of impenetrable nonsense with two people in weird clothes, to say I loved it would be an understatement. It is aggressively Kuuga.

Although strangely enough, it's the way he films those watermelons that seems like the biggest calling card of who the director is here.

Also, I'd just like to point out that Akira is left to run the restaurant on her own again here because Asumu forgets he's on the clock, and is only saved because Hitomi happens to be a real pal that way. Akira is so overworked at this point I bet even Sabaki would find it excessive.

EDIT: Oh, and because I'm always forgetting things I want to mention: Midori is totally listening to that English-speaking newscaster guy on the radio that was always the background noise for ORE Journal back in Ryuki!
