Dang, the content of this episode really took these guys on the road.

The legend of those children's stories or whatever igave me some interest about the series' lore. The murder of the case was brutal but I guess in this show, it's nothing really surprising anymore. Such a chilling ending D:

Yet again, the guys got themselves involved in a murder case. This time involving some crazy clone.

It seems everyone sees the miracle differently. A kid got murdered in the church and the miracle is still going on. It's somewhat related to a fairy tail. Father Trones is nowhere to be found.

Lmao this episode reminded me of Season 4 of American Horror Story "Freak Show" and Season 6 "Roanoke" combined. So are the two main priests a couple? They clearly admire each other and compliment each other like a couple would do. I ship it.

Some one always gets murdered when they come...
And the priests said "again" implying it isn't the first time.

Another creepy murder mystery, this time involving a clown. The music that played at the end sure was unsettling. Let's see what kind of madness they encounter this time around.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

Holy shit. I love that footage part. Gave me Blair Witch Project vibes, maaan, and I loved it.

I wonder if the OP's already available to download. I really need it now on my phone.

New investigation, but we didn't know what on earth happened to Father Julia? C'mon!

The rainbow thing just shows that Jesus is highkey LGBTQ+ supporter. Hahaha jk.

Pretty interesting episode; I wonder what's the mystery behind the rainbow and each and everyone can see a different glow or something, and stop with the horns jesus it scares the fuck outta me. Remind me a lot of Silent Hill horns akjfnasjfd.

Loved this episode. Hiraga's being so gay over Roberto again. Hihi. Kiss already! Hahaha.

I'm a bit annoyed that that they started a new investigation because I felt that the previous one was not fully explained. We don't know what happened to Father Julia and how this case was connected to the House of Bourbon. Hopefully they'll manage to explain it in later episodes but I doubt that this will happen.

Apart from that, it's a decent episode. The new case is definitely a lot creepier than the previous two and the differences in how people perceive the miracle will raise the complexity. It'll be interesting to see how they're able to explain it but I'm guessing it's related to some sort of optical illusion that appears differently based on the viewing angle.

They're called "Carabinieri" and it's not like they're specifically assigned to far places, they're a military corp with both military police duties and civil police duties, while State Police is a civil corp.
Basically many of their duties overlap, and explaining "who acts when" would take too long.
Inspector Giovanni Baffi (this should be the correct way to write his name in italian) shows up a State Police badge and the cars are clearly State Police cars; it could be that Local Police asked for their help, or that they were closer...or simply that the author didn't know about Carabinieri and just went with Police as they're usually the ones with such duties in the rest of the world XD

Anyway, this episode was really good, no jumpscare, but it's got the right amount of creepyness XD
And this arc airing around the time " IT " comes to cinema...*O*

Nice intro before the OP. That footage part was really good and it reminded me the time when I watched The Blair Witch Project long time ago... that part just gave me that kind of vibes. Nice episode, enjoyable as always.

P.S.: For a moment, I was about to spit my coffee when I saw Hiraga's little brother lying on the floor covered in blood. Jeez, that absolutely caught me off guard XD

Kinda dangerous by some random tv crew to investigate though isn't it. Not surprising that it ended badly for them. The decapitating clown is a apt name for such a killer though. A mysterious code with a clown eh sounds like this mystery will be the case this time. A miracle that occurs every day first thing in the morning now thats unusual. So the head priest is someone that donated his entire fortune before becoming it then how generous of him. Unusual to find a statue of a clown at a church though. So the decap clown is said to be an incarnation of the devil that also lives behind the church wow thats rather unusual. Wow the miracle here really does look impressive.

To think that the sound was detected but the light wasn't though and whats more the two seem to have seen the lights differently as well. The fairy tails that were in the books sure was interesting. The second book really is quite different from the first it seems. When there is a secret someone would want to solve it after all. It seems that the head priest does know something about this alleged miracle. So the rooms in the church are locked up at night then. That is rather strict. So during the night when they are locked in their rooms the decap clown claimed his first victim. So if the victim itself wasn't a villager or a member of the church so who was he. But this new case is turning out to be quite interesting.

The clown is creepy and I want to see more of it. I also want to try Roberto's food.

This arc looks good. I love fairy tales, especially the darker ones, so hopefully some crazy stuff happens here.

When the priest gave them their own rooms and said that the doors lock from the outside, I was hoping Roberto and Josef got the hint to stay together because some bad stuff was going to go down. I wonder why they lock the doors from the outside though?

Blair Witch Project at the intro?

Disco Jesus telling us to party hard as soon as He returns to this world. Jk
But of course there should be a scientific explanation on that phenomenon. Idk tho

And maybe, just maybe, Father Thores is the clown/grim reaper. Lel

unrelated to the episode, there's a little section on the official japanese site called "roberto's cooking" or something like that where they teach his recipes! so far there's arrabbiata, carbonara and tortellini, i think! i love when anime producers do cute things like this ahahaha

If the clown asks someone if they have Prince Albert in a can, this show gets 10/10.

Love the footage part. Gave me chills. But why do they need to have the clown's statue or photo of it kills people? I mean they are a church right? Anyway, Hiraga looks really cute when he's trying to coll down his food. Wonder what will happen next

"Your driving so I will be okay." I don't think motion sickness works like that... Maybe Robert drives super slow? Lol

Cicero dimension traveled from Skyrim. They should have made a jumpscare before they cut off to the opening. Was expecting one from that video.

Found footage? Really?

Also, I like how they had a camera following their cameraman.



By the way, a bunch of young adults doing a found footage bit in a "Forest of the Decapitating Clown," drinking and camping under a blood red moon is an awful lot of death flags for just a single scene. I mean, this is the type of thing that other shows parody.
