Whispering Woman is like a high 7, and Soichi's beloved Pet is like a low 5, so I'm giving the episode an overall 6.
I didn't particularly care for either of the Soichi mini-episodes of this season; neither were 'bad' and I can kinda see why Ito does them. They're neat abstractly in terms of what they might imply about what Ito *doesn't* want to see in his audience, but other than that don't do much for me.
Whispering Woman was a solid mini episode. There's some really neat ambiguity at the end where it's unclear whether the 'twist' is entirely realistic and just based on the mental illness of the main girl or actually supernatural, and I think the ambiguity there is actually a bit fun to think about.
