I find it hilarious that Momo is so shaken by Ken’s name that she refuses to even use it. Her image of what a Ken Takakura could be has been shaken to its core.

I have really enjoyed the animation in this show. The use of color (or lack thereof) has been phenomenal. By having the standard color palette be so saturated usually, it really makes the sequences where they decide to intentionally desaturate everything stand out, like the alien fight this episode. Through the colors alone, you can intuit that something isn’t right as a viewer and that the stakes are high. They didn’t even add much saturation at all to the blood, leaving the red reserved for Okarun when he is transformed.

I am guessing that Momo’s granny is going to be the resolution to Okarun’s perpetual transformation thing. I also suspect that she is going to be a pretty free spirited lady given that she is the one that raised Momo and just look at how she has turned out.
