Cinnamon Ass - Reborn Like a Zombie

Fantastic Children Episode 6 - Kokkuri Island 2

We begin where we left off last time, with Helga and Thoma pursuing Chit into the forest. However, they find him unconscious and covered in bees. Killer bees! Thoma is apiphobic, and hides in a bush grimacing while Helga has to do the noble deed and calmly rescue Chit - hurray for Helga! Plus she actually speaks a bit, and comes off a whole lot better in this episode than she has for the rest of the series, thank god.

Thoma and Chit then run into Talrant, one of the Children, who is still trying to trace the next incarnation of Christina and is attacked by one of those shadowy creatures again. Thoma spars with him for a while and almost has the upper hand, but Talrant breaks out a big shiny robot called Wanda to do his bidding and scare off Thoma. Meanwhile Cooks and Alice do more investigation into GED, and the Children re-iterate their frustration over their inability to find Christina (if they have too many more of these coincidental misses I will probably throw things at the screen...)

For some reason I didn't find this episode quite as impressive as the previous ones, perhaps because it was so much more straightforward - it was great to see Helga develop a personality, and the animation was absolutely brilliant this time round for the fight sequence in particular, but for some reason it didn't intrigue me as much as usual. Ah well, it was still great fun to watch and that's all that really counts!
