Well alrighty then. That’s not what I expected. I mean, I thought this would have a bit of a Sherlock vibe to it and the guys would be eye candy. I saw some bonding happening and was like yay detective stuff is ensuing. The previous episode ended in a cliffhanger but even still. Hey, one of those author’s is referenced in the Bungou Alchemist show, if I recall correctly. Anyways, that whole situation with Otaki was brutal. I wonder how they’ll all get through the aftermath of it.

So I love that these episodes are so lovely with the animation and the stories. They’d probably be better binged but I just prefer binging in general. Ishikawa and Kindaichi’s relationship is weird. The struggles—I’m glad they came up. Though since when was the assistant thing made official? Like why was he being ordered around and named as such without question? Also, I’m glad K stood up for himself there and tried not to be an enabler. I’m not sure that this is even a little accurate to their personalities historically but I’m enjoying it. As well as the inclusion of the poetry, I’m hoping it’s actually his works else it’d be ridiculous.

He’s self destructing? Like how did he manage to do that after what happened with the other prostitute? He was so livid and resentful. His self-centered fear of failure has him so desperate to get ahead that he’s selling out those who love him and becoming a hypocrite to survive? The art is still gorgeous though. Here’s hoping he gets a wake up call. There’s definitely Sherlock parallels—I was right—tortured genius artist and all that.

That guy was so suspicious... come on. All the red flags and not just because he appeared at the beginning of the episode. I must say that I was really feeling proud and excited for him having worked hard and resolving things on his own. He was making such progress. I mean, seeing Ishikawa in the bath trying to puzzle out his emotions and the fact that he was probably projecting was interesting and definitely made me wonder at first. Like if he hadn’t at least seemed pensive in response to that, I’d’ve been done. Staying with “why’s he upset?” isn’t the answer at all. I really feel some kind of way about him manipulating Kindaichi the whole time regarding the case. Or I did except apparently he just really wanted to make up with him because he’s so sick and doesn’t want regrets. The sadness. Why leave it on coughing up blood? The emotional turnarounds are making me dizzy.

wow did the animation suddenly go down or was I blinded by the art style? Either way, I can’t say that I’m surprised she turned out to be the culprit. I wonder what’s going to happen now that he’s had love snatched away from him. But at least his envious/jealous partner/assistant can go back to bezing primary in his life—maybe?

weebywitch

So this was a seriously morose episode. I mean it ended up all touchy feely and whatnot but damn. That’s a lot of emotional shit to wade through. Also, is it just official that Kindaichi is in love with him or is that supposed to be a platonic thing? I’m good either way but earlier they said that he was projecting so...? Also, we’re just supposed to overlook that he was out and out going to kill Sonobe, right? I mean, I’m not saying I don’t understand the sentiment but it was premeditated and everything. And... he’s totally going to die before this season ends. He looks like a freaking ghoul. Geez this is excruciating.

It seems many things happened in this anime I've had this in my to watch list and was waiting for all the episodes to come out. Is it worth it? > So this was a seriously morose episode.

I mean this is ultimately something everyone needs to decide for themselves, if it’s worth watching. I really like the art style, I do think that it might be better if it was binged, but I’m not sure about that. Being distracted between it and a ton of other shows at the same time does take away from it. But it’s not something that I would say is like the finest quality show out there though it is interesting and serves its purpose of distracting me from my problems. I’m curious to see how they’re going to end it. It’s less action and more cerebral so if you like that kind of thing, I’d say give it a shot for sure. I’m not sorry that I picked it up.

Naruhodo~ Welp, that's what I needed to know. Thanks a bunch

Well it seemed like he was just going to palm off his work onto everyone else and be listlessly engaged in the Accuser X case whilst forgetting how to write poetry but it seems that they figured out the case and he got his inspiration back in quite a touching manner. I wonder if they’ll finally solve their first case before it’s over.

weebywitch

Wait what? Kayo was Accuser X? I was clearly not paying enough attention to detail when I watched this show. But then again, I knew that already from the individual mysteries. The sudden jump from present day to the future was a bit meh or maybe that was just me but the ending was a bit of a letdown to me. I guess it’s meant to imply that they finished their journey, he wrote an awesome anthology of poetry and, as promised, is always watching over Kyouseke. But the delivery was sort of meh. Especially after the previous scenes.
