Perhaps disappointly, the answer is "none", but I digress - The end of the last episode and the beginning of this one finally started to bring some sense to the over-arching storyline of the series, bringing us the full story of both the past and the forthcoming conflict between Leopard (with the help of the Shishidou foundation) against Nerval, a runaway AI who seems to have a bit of a problem with the humankind who created him.
Just as we reach this moment of clarity however, we're sideswiped completely be a sudden descent into a weird dragon-like creature stealing Leopard's cooling system, ghosts with a penchant for nice-looking heads and octopodes. Of course, none of this makes any sense at all, but then again, who cares? If nothing else, I was impressed by Kannagi's anti-ghost equipment, which would put the Ghostbusters to shame any day of the week.
Yet again, Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo has managed to be oddly entertaining largely on account of not taking itself at all seriously, throwing in some half-decent and thoroughly random jokes and mixing it up on this occasion with an even more random plot that even an Internet random script generation web site couldn't manage. Quite frankly, it has absolutely no right to be anything other than rubbish of the highest degree.... the trouble is, it's such entertaining rubbish that I can't help but enjoy watching it.
