Fantastic Children Episode 4 - Shinon
Chit and Thoma head back to Chikao to rescue Helga, but have to take extra care since there seems to be policemen searching the island for escaped prisoners. They succeed in breaking her out, but Helga is totally reticent towards Thoma despite how he repeatedly saves her life. As they escape through the forest they come across one of the prisoners, Shinon, who is in no way what she seems - and Helga has disturbing visions associated with her that Thoma and Chit cannot see. The "policemen" advise them to forget about Shinon, and they escape from Chikao once again - meanwhile, one of the other "prisoners" has found their way elsewhere...
Keeping things deliberately vague to avoid spoilers at this juncture, but we get several more mysteries to add to our already abundant supply. And Helga spoke full sentences! Wonders will never cease. The character animation is really impressing me at the moment, especially when Thoma knocked Helga and Chit out the way of the searchlights - the attention to detail is always appreciated.
