Hmm, the OP song has a thrilling feel to it.

Glad to see this show return for another season though.

It immediately got serious with a case. The whole deadly message along with the masked man brings back the feels of the show. Decent start for the second season. The hypnotism gimmick feels a bit stale but still quite a thrilling episode imo.

Love the OP theme. Very fitting.
First YBJ, now this. #happydays
Hell's Puppeteer is probably one of the toughest nemesis out there.

Is it an episodic anime so I can watch it without any knowledge about previous series/seasons or it doesn't make any sense to start my journey with this season?

Yes, it is episodic anime. usually it has 3-4 episodes per case. So, it is okay to watch it without knowledges from previous seasons. Except some returning characters and their personalities and relationships. And these characters are Kindaichi, Miyuki, Kenmochi, Akechi and Takatoo (puppeteer from hell)

I really enjoyed the return. I love Kindaichi.
The OP was alright, but I loved the ED. Really nice animation for that one.
The new case is pretty damn interesting too!

The old series is better. Same If I continiue watching the old one, but after 100 episodes and more, the old one is better.

The first episiode was good. Begin the season with Takato is good thing.

Glad to see the show is back for another season, but at least so far I don't really like this case. For one, because I dislike hypnotism/mind control angles, and second, Kindaichi stabbing Akechi? Come on, as if anybody is gonna believe that he has actually killed him.

I watched the first season all within a short time span, so it's going to be strange watching each case go over a month or so.

This was an excellent start to the season. But I don't think any of the viewers would believe Kindaichi actually killed anyone, hypnosis or not.

So, anyone else thinks that Kindaichi's food or drink was drugged? That's the only possible reason for him to act strange. Either that, or Takatou disguised someone as Kindaichi and had him do the deed.

Interesting start. I can see the remaining 2 betrayers dying soon as well.

Isn't this really similar to the case in Returns Season 1?
>Hotel boy flying
>Kindaichi sexually harassing a girl while being hypnotized
>Kindaichi asking the boy if he met the magician
and almost everything..
I'm confused..

Ah I remember this case from the manga. I don't remember the exact trick but I can tell you who the culprit is if you want XD

It's quite a plot twist.

You can start with s2. Each cases typically took 3-4 episodes but they are unrelated to each other. The only thing you need to know are the main characters and Takato (the fugitive), who is like the big bad villain in the series introduced long ago in the old Kindaichi anime. However, he doesn't always appear and not all cases are orchestrated by him.

I'm leaning towards a disguisement.

Man, they never made any character developments in this anime, Kindaichi and his childhood friend should've been in college by now or should be working.

Yay! They're starting strong with one of the most interesting cases. :) I'm excited.

I'm guessing the kid is involved with this case.

i might be wrong but when you're a fugitive you don't tell a random person about that

Oh why? What's with that awful engrishu?

Why did I have a feeling that his wish is going to go for boobs? xD

This is too intense for my first episode!

Despite the suspicion of the magician he still went through with it, honestly I really dislike hypnotism as a plot device on these type of shows, it just adds unneeded tension and clutters actual progression within the case. So far not much of a fan of this case, but Puppeteer from hell cases are always interesting.

So this time he's making Kindaichi look like the murderer. Even Akechi is here too.
