Deep Insanity: The Lost Child Episode 11
Deep Insanity: The Lost Child Episode 11 is good in theory, but terrible in practice. I actually cringed at one point.
Deep Insanity: The Lost Child Episode 6
Deep Insanity: The Lost Child Episode 6 had some potential. But, it ended up being an overly predictable, bland episode.
Deep Insanity: The Lost Child Episode 4
Deep Insanity: The Lost Child Episode 4 is another completely average episode. It introduced a random loli named Nadia, though.
Deep Insanity: The Lost Child Episode 7
Deep Insanity: The Lost Child continues to be a bad anime 7 episodes in. I'm hoping that something interesting happens soon.
Deep Insanity: The Lost Child Episode 9
Deep Insanity: The Lost Child was a fairly decent episode except for when it seemingly retconned Shigure's backstory.

Deep Insanity: The Lost Child Episode 3
Episode 3 of Deep Insanity: The Lost Child wasn't a particularly good episode, but I wouldn't call it bad either. It exists.
Deep Insanity: The Lost Child Episode 2
