I cannot think of a more worthy use of such technology. This episode was an improvement over the previous one, but it still suffered from the same problems that having been plaguing the series: bad animation and stupid story.

Training complete, the student council's journey to the heart of Hakoniwa Academy's nefarious Flask Plan begins in earnest this week, with a face-off against an Abormal claiming to be the strongest of the bunch.
