The sprawling, layered, endless, opressive, colorful, collapsing city is the film's real protagonist
#32, "The Romance of the Dancing Girls": Nanami's animal antics are some of the best comedy Ikuhara has ever made, but it's her rejection by the world and her painful coming of age into the adult world in these episodes that makes her my favorite character
#31, "Her Tragedy": this series spends so many hilarious episodes building up Nanami as an amazing comic relief character, and then it breaks her completely in a single episode by making her be the first to realize the ugly and disgusting truth of the world
The most emotionally powerful episode of the arc, though, has to be the climax at #12. "I stopped seeking to be sought after. That wasn't being true to myself. I want to become 'someone who can exercise power'. I want to become a prince. For friendship, perhaps."
