And we got another smilie. But this time it wasn't Chiko who's giving it.

Nijuu Mensou and his whole crew seem to be targeted by Tiger and his gang, I guess Angie was a part of it? Her grin sure was creepy.

Good episode, this will soon lead to something awesome, I'm sure.

Pretty good. I always thought that there was something off with Angie.

I hope we get introduced to the 2 girls in the ED soon.

Another very good episode, and we got another timeskip (I wonder how many more we'll have).
So Angie was just faking everything, I wonder if she is part of Tiger's gang.

Well they have to push it somewhat if the actual story is supposed to revolve around Chiko being the heiress of our phantom thief.

Pretty good episode. The swipe was ok this time around but it was some nice setup for a confrontation with Tiger.

Nice one. It surprised me a little that Chiko didn't even once try to talk the others out of the job for Angie's sake (well, that might have been cliché, so I'm glad it turned out this way).

As for Angie's twisted smile in the end... either Chiko succeeded in creating her personal nemesis (given Angie's tale was true, dad getting fired and all), or indeed, Angie was with Mr. Tiger all along. Which would lead me to believe that ugly rock they stole was a fake (or already hollow or something) and Tora is hiding inside - tarte surprise! I hope not... :P

I'm guessing Angie snapped but it is equally likely that she is working with Tiger.

I'm guessing the timeskips will continue, maybe one year each episode until around episode 10.

This show is shaping up nicely.

Poor Ken, Tiger sure is an ass. I wonder why they didn't bring up him killing that guy they made a small deal about it before.

I also think the timeskips will continue for a bit more- I like the way they have format it so far. I'm guessing we will be seeing a lot more of Angie.

So who are the 2 other girls in the end? Is it Chiko and her "crew" in the future? I can only guess that at some point during the series we will be seeing just Chiko running the "family business".

yeah i was pretty sure that the girl was chiko and the other one looks like the maid that made that brief appearance in the aunt/uncle household after chiko left.

i think angie had no relationship to a father at that museum. i feel as if she is a part of tiger's gang and they were watching her every move. what she did in the museum and then as she walked home, the other guy was on the bench watching her then also.

Great episode again, though it felt a bit too rushed towards the end. I hope Ken's eye is ok, I really like that guy.
Angie sure was scary towards the end.

It is pretty clear that Angie is in group with Tiger and everything from the beginning to the end was setting up by Tiger. Next episode will be a good challenging between 20faces and Tiger instead of Treasure-hunting-of-the-week.
And yeah! Chiko vs Angie is what we are looking for ^_^

I'm guessing that Nijuu Mensou will die while Chika is relatively young, 18-20 maybe. Either that or I'm completely wrong.
I don't think she will leave the crew willingly.

Angie: possible yandere?

Hm, Chiko's agility is sharpened and pretty much everyone in the family accepts her now. Putting differences aside, this is the beginning of a bad future. Tora's back and he gave a little greeting and that that Angie girl is turning into evil mode.

Yeah there's a lot to speculate. It doesn't give a lot of ideas of what to expect in the future. If the ending is seriously gonna happen, we're still scratching the surface of the story. Chiko may form this "Detective Girls", so basically she's gonna be the opposite of thief.

This anime may get somewhat dark or really deep.

We're approaching the crucial moment when Chiko and Nijuu Mensou will go their separate ways I guess ;) Still a nice episode.

Yeah there are quite a few possibilities for this show. Chiko said either this episode or the one prior that she does not really care about being a thief, but she wants to participate as a member of their "family". She is always reading detective novels, and it seems to me she would rather be a detective than a theif. However, if you put aside the ED, then it really seems like this show is building up to be like:

mentor teaches student-->minor growth-->mentor dies-->sadness-->failure-->more growth-->student becomes more awesome than mentor

I've personally been waiting for 20 faces to die, but then the ED makes it seem like Chiko and the detective girls will be on the opposite side as 20 faces.

As for Angie, I initially believed her story, and after Chiko stole that thing I thought:

* Where is Tiger and company?
*Ohhh, Angie's gunna want some revenge!

Then as soon as they showed Angie, who I expected to be crying (then possibly make an evil/revenge sort of look) simply looked pleased. Thus I connected her with Tiger (who I thought was lacking during the steal). Either way I expect Angie to be Chiko's nemesis. Though if she becomes a detective? hmm

This is honestly probably one of the most detailed episode discussion posts I have made.. ever. ahha

That's an interesting theory, i never thought of that, only the typical mentor teaches student-->minor growth-->mentor dies-->sadness-->failure-->more growth-->student becomes more awesome than mentor route that i'm sure everyone is expecting...

Anyways, this ep was the best yet, can't wait to see more of Angie.

As for Tiger... gayest enemy gang ever...
edit:srsly, so far we've seen Tiger and a dude with a mushroom haircut, and their already gayer than teamrocket. (not including Angie since we don't know for sure if she's with them, besides she seems pretty cool)

This episode was a good one - I also think that Angie is part of the Tiger group.

Have we seen anything on the detective girls other than at the very end?
I thought one of them looked like Chiko when she grows up.
However I think that she will stick with 20 faces - she did say that she was the daughter of 20 faces.

Loved it, though imo last ep was a bit better.

1 ep = 1 year XD

I wonder what her final age will be.

Though I agree that there are some possible developments. I am really curious how this will go on from now on.

Wow, this episode really took the show to another level and dare I say that I think this show is better than Bones' other show that is currently airing, lol

Either way, Chiko was beyond adorable in this episode and we need more blonde Chiko like the last 2 episodes have had.

Lol. Pretty much.

So far, anyone who isn't part of 20 faces group has been hostile towards them at some point or another. In their line of work, you would be a fool not to suspect everyone of being out to get you.
Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast.

Yeah. I said it.

WTF? Probably that girl is with Tiger.
I think the crew can't come back to circus, because everyone may be aware that they are the thieves.
