I love this show already.

So, the murderer of the first arc. I picked a suspect arbitrarily in the first episode, on a hunch wanting to see if I was right. When something happened later, I thought I must be wrong and picked someone else. But then my first guess ended up being right! But because they swerved me so well and talked me out of that person being the suspect, it totally surprised me. ...Er, you know?

Yet, when Sakon spells it out, it all makes sense. The clues were there.

I still don't get why that woman agreed to help.

Hah, I guessed it right. I had my suspicion first when someone said that the murderer could be among them, because before that I thought that the murderer was someone else. The only guy that could set up the piano string is the policeman, he appears after Hazuki, Ukon and Sakon had crossed the bridge, everyone else was already in the building.

Then, I was 80% sure of my suspicion when the policeman first discovered the 3rd victim, the one to first discover the victim in a closed room murder always seems suspicious to me. And I thought the policeman was shot in his shoulder not chest (might be animation mistake but apparently not).

I kind of hesitated after Hazuki picked up a knife though, I mean, she just looked like a psycho murderer that way. Ha.

The first 2 episodes were really good, but this episode was a bit of a disappointment. There are questions for example, like this one,

that never got answered.

Still, I am liking the series so far, it did the mystery, the horror, and the thriller right, with great soundtracks and fitting visual. :)

I'm thinking he might've promised he'd marry her or something. She did say "it will make him glad".

Nice series btw. Love the animation!

Mh, I already suspected that one of the victims wasn't actually dead, but I didn't expect it to be the policemen.

I wonder why I missed so many clues, I should watch the next arc more carefully.

But yeah, it felt a bit rushed. Maybe one episode more would've been a good idea, to see more character interactions in this situation, as well why the woman helped out at all. But it's still entertaining so far.

The policeman was the killer as I suspected it.
He was Osamu's brother.
It's good that he managed to kill those bastards, they didn't deserve to live anyway.

Stupid Plot Twist. Everyone seemed sorry for Osamu's death, but then it shows them saying no and blablabla only for the police officer who was his brother to hear and take revenge a long time later.
I thought it could be a good anime, but that first arc was bad. I won't be watching anymore, obviously.

This episode hurt to watch.

Out of all the charas, none of them suspect the police officer who's carrying a weapon, but they do suspect MC for carrying a doll that severely limits his movement.
Why would the classmates suspect each other in the first place when they're in it together, & why would Maya help the person trying to kill her?

Hazuki picks up knife while following Maya...in order to convince her that she isn't the killer?

While that is happening, MC just stands there contemplating, like he didn't already have a whole episode to do that.

Then after taking all the time in the world to slowly walk towards where Hazuki is about to get murdered, the first thing MC says is "please stop murdering"...to someone who's already murdered all but one of them? What are the chances that the police officer just happened to feel like dropping her off the bridge rather stabbing her on the spot, and that MC happened to just wake up in time to slowly walk outside?

Perhaps MC only wanted to save the one girl, or was there for the fun of it. He probably isn't very strong to have been knocked out cold by a chair in a swing light enough to leave him without a single bruise. (The police officer was even talking while picking up the chair. There was plenty of time to defend yourself)

Rant over. Hope next arc is better :3
