It seems that episode 3 twist regarding Irene Adler had mixed response. For some it's an exciting development and some found it funny. So is it amazing or is it cringe?

I found it hilarious but not in a bad way, why not I mean it's a manga adaptation where Moriarty is 3 brothers and all characters are hot guys, at least they made their own unique twist to the Adler story and hopefully the character can stay relevant

It was really unexpecting, so I was shocked first.
I thought it was very funny, but not cringe. I think it is quite cool how they make their own unique anime, and that was definetly something unique that I don't think ever has been before like it. Even if it is inspired, it is not like they copy-paste it, but always put their own style and elements which creates it as a new which gives the anime an ride for itself to experience with. Irene itself is anyways an interesting character and would like to have seen more background of her from the past

I'm ok with them tweaking the sherlock holmes narrative, however what seems rather stupid and pretentious is them retconning the sherlock family lineage (kind of reduces the epicness of sherlock and mycroft when they're simply just genetically pre-disposed to be more intelligent)

and now they're retconning the origin of James Bond. It's a small detail that's just dumb and adds nothing to the story

As someone who never read the Sherlok Holmes books and didn’t watch any of the movies with James Bonde, I found it great! One of the best scenes! I’m shocked that many people dislike it, but I also understand that it was completely different from what they expected as people who know the original stories..

It was fucking hilarious. Good choice from the author.
Watashi wa a victim of cyberbullying. Everyday someone online calls me a "weeb" desu. Watashi won't stand for this. 26 percent of bullying victims are chosen due to their race or religion desu. I may look like a basic white boy, but deep down I am Nihongo desu. Watashi religion is anime. Anata wa bullying me because of my race and religion desu ka? Disgusting desu. Anata should be ashamed of yourself, racist pig. A baka gaijin like anata is probably jealous of my race and culture, cause Nippon is more sugoi than your shitty country desu. Watashi pity anata. You'll never be Nihongo like watashi. Educate yourself on nani a "weeb" is.

I really liked it honestly.

It creates this really fresh backstory for the name and sets up the discussion of "James Bond is a job title" that they keep hinting at in the movies.

So yeah, it's a really good choice on the author's part. This series deserves more hype than it gets.

Some people have a lot of free time on their hands and get bored if they don't react profusely to something most people are indifferent to.
There's no inherent right or wrong in this universe, but when we think with emotions rather than logic, we make things so.

The issue I had with it is that James Bond is a character created in the 1950s and has never been a shown to be a Victorian character. It just came off as "James Bond is English so it makes sense".

I know the entire thing is already a huge fanfic based around Moriarty (I'm not criticizing it I like the anime) but it seemed somewhat uninformed.

Loooved it, adding a James Bond/Bonde (the subs I read said both) character is absolute class. I hope we get more crossover characters from British literature in the future as well because why not? Make it a love letter to British fiction

Just my opinion but if it's a fanfic and the characters are written well then go for it. I get it's initially based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's characters but now the mangaka has added James Bond there's like no limit, they could add the Doctor from Dr Who and I'd be on board lol

Just finished episode 3 and the first words out of my mouth were "Oh My GAWD!!" I'm not upset about it, but I was kind of wondering how the hell they're going to incorporate this later on since this new twist came out of nowhere. I'll be waiting for it in the endgame.

It's clear the narrative is quite different from the original Sherlock Holmes stories, and honestly I've enjoyed this fresh new version of the tales since it still adds some suspense and mystery to how all of this will end. While the new twist seems weird at first, I'm totally okay with seeing it through to the end.

Let Irene/James Bonde be the womanizer and spy we all know and love.

It's pretty obvious that the government dude is just using her to keep tabs on the Moriarty family, and that there was no stolen information to begin with. I wish they would have concealed that better during her arc, that was very sloppy storytelling.

Her identity change isn't as funny as the fact that a bunch of resources including TV Tropes have non-ironically decided that she literally had a physical gender change, not just a time change identity for plot-based "ikemen onna" fanservice.
