| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- A bit of a slow episode. I think they're really trying to build more into the relationship between Aoi and Holmes. For an antique item, this episode with the dolls looks like the most authentic I've seen so far. It's the type that's easily imaginable in this show. |
 |
| Animation is getting worse and worse. Any more and it will be more of a sketch than actual animation. Still character with off proportions is creepier than these dolls... Shame since it could be a half decent series if it wasn't so half-assed. Especially being set in Kyoto with kansaiben being thrown around. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| That was really boring and super slow. I was just not interested in the content of today's episode with the dolls. |
| Welp, Kiyotaka's family is really rooting for him and Aoi-chan, and it's nice. His grandmother has a really amazing mansion too, like wow. But it's a pity that her first husband divorced her out of superstition, and it's sad that the second one felt insecure because of a doll even though he shared 50 years of his life with her though. But well, that was a nice conclusion, the dolls are together again after half a century, and Aoi's daydream was pretty cute. lol |
 |
| I just gotta say what a ridiculous reason to get divorced lol. |
animejas said: That was really boring and super slow. I was just not interested in the content of today's episode with the dolls. This pretty much sums up this week's report of Detective Kiyotaka of Holmes...its not bad, but one of the less interesting episode of the series to date. And also, a divorce of a tragedy through dolls? What gives? On the plus side, Kiyotaka's family DO really want to ship him and Aoi together, despite the male lead reconsidering dating and such...not sure where this is going but it'll be fun to watch. |

| On the contrary, I found this to be a heartwarming and cute little episode... I really liked getting a peek behind the veil of Kiyotaka’s extended family, and seeing how they still so cared for each other, in spite of their estrangement. Looking at the superstitious reasoning behind it, especially through modern eyes, it seems fairly ridiculous. But, the Japanese are nothing if not honoring and respectful of their cultural mythologies. And it’s not as if we cannot look to our own cultures for significantly poignant superstitions, and just how heavily those could play on the anxieties of our ancestors. The matter of the dolls, and how her husband’s resignation and remonstrations against the thought of losing his beloved wife, as an extension of those cultural beliefs, came into play, was kind of twistedly poetic, in how it all worked out. And finally pinning those two dolls together again, as something of an allegory for Kiyotaka’s and Aoi’s potentially, eventually, getting together, was altogether sweet, to me. So, all in all, I found it to be a very enjoyable episode. Those saying that it all moved a bit too slowly, I mean, the stories are actually better to me, taking their time. |

Maybe it's a simple animation and cookie cutter designs but you still need something there.Antanaru said: Shouldn't expect too much when this is coming from a studio that makes Hentai.Animation is getting worse and worse.

| Dolls!? oh shocks! they're creepy as hell! Is Aoi already loose and gung-ho for Holmes-san? What is they're not meant to be? Aoi gonna be devastated! Cuz from the looks of it, it clearly that the girl already likes Holmes, but on Holmes perspective, his likeness to Aoi doesn't show much, well there's been some hints previously, or is it because there are more monologues for Aoi compared to monologues thinking of Holmes-san??? 4/5. |

| That girl doll had a really deliquent-like face in the beginning of episode. Overall pretty nice episode though, I liked romantic vibe it had. And someone finally told Holmes what he should do, so hopefully he will follow that advice. I'm not fan of everyone being really dense, even if it is common for shoujo. Animation isn't that great, though I don't mind it too much. It is still good enough in my opinion, albeit it certainly could be nicer. It's kinda sad for what reason did Holmes grandparents divorced, however somewhat understandable given the circumstances and fact that Japanese are known to be rather believing in their folklore. It also took place several decades back when it was all the more so. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Yeah this felt like a pointless episode to me. Nothing really developed and the Grandma story really doesn't add anything. |
 |
| >"they look really happy together" >shinjuu look ok then Otherwise good episode, had a nice amount of character building in the form of Kiyotaka grandmother's past. You truly end up hurting if your loved ones hurt. |
 |
| Really lovely episode, especially that ending! Quite liked it and with two more episodes I really do wonder if we'll see some fast romance development between these two! |
