In the sequence beginning at 7:21, Keizo’s name (which has been spelled in kanji 敬三 until this point) is suddenly spelled in katakana ケイゾウ for for two lines of text (“Team searches for Keizo” and “Keizo is found”) before reverting to 敬三 again when he is rescued. This might be unintentional, but if it isn’t, it’s a bit… concerning. For those less familiar with Japanese, katakana spellings are usually used for foreign words or the names of animals…

As a Japanese speaker, the subtle change from referring to Keizo using kanji to using katakana and then back to kanji was very well done. For those who don't know Japanese people's names are usually written in Kanji whereas katakana is usually reserved for animals so referring to a "person" using katakana is very dehumanizing.

From the little that I could gather, here's my theory: the ningen are some type of spiritual creature or extraterrestrial entity who mimic the human form and voice. The "Department of Human Studies" we see in the beginning could be a secret government organization dedicated to research on these creatures, meaning this is not the last and maybe not the first time the ningen have been encountered. The question "what if gets warm", is eerie, as the cold, faraway distance of Antarctica might be the only thing keeping humanity safe from these monsters. I say they're malevolent, but could be otherwise. They could be completely alien in nature as well.
