Omake Theater - "The Man Who Watches the Kushinada"
Episode 1: Princess Kushinada | Episode 2: It's Cruel, It's Mysterious, It's My Destiny
Our hero Kusanagi seems kinda depressed after Kaedi died, but this seems to change once he picks up a roll of film from the developers. Hell, he was created to watch the Kushinadas, nothing says its a nonprofitable job.

Omake Theater: The Man Who Watches the Kusinada
The TAC has just lost the girl who they belief was the key to saving humanity from a parasitical race called the aragami, but before she died she spoke of the other Kushinada. The scene changes to the town of Azuma in Japan where we find Momigi, a girl who has been taught that she may have to sacrifice herself for Japan, and it seems a man with seven blue beed in his skin is willingly to speed up that process. Fortunately the TAC arrive to "save her", but Momigi being a normal teenager is more concerned with making it to school on time. Only reason she has (there are reasons to go to high school?) for even being there is to find out why the assasin called her the "Princess Kushinada" and how can she have a twin sister. It may be difficult finding these answers when your school is being attacked by a tree.
Great way to open a story having the characters being even more unfamilar with whats happening as we are. The characters seem to all have their flaws which results in some decent comedy, but the drama is focused on more here. Its cool that the script only gives us clues to whats going on, but doesn't give anything away. The show ends pretty abruptly during the battle with the tree, but you might ignore that with all the build up to the action does become a little tedious yet that does give it a manga type feeling. The episode does do whats most important, make us want to see the next episode.
