WTF Houtarou. Wasn't this supposed to be game.

Chitanda's pouting was so cute. It's a win.

I wanted both of them to kiss. Can't we get a kiss?

Looks like Oreki can't even be wrong if he tries, proved the exact opposite in the end ^^

I just love the overall theme of this episode. Was it luck or talent/skill? In the end they forget that they were trying to answer that, and it didn't really matter either. The answer was found (whether you would say that the logical connections did the work or it was happenstance that those were the connections they came to in the first place) and an enjoyable experience was had, even by our resident energy conservationist.

All I'm left wondering is why the last episode was needed, though given the newspapers at the beginning of this episode mentioning fires and theft I won't be surprised if we're already two episodes into the next "big" mystery.

Lol, Oreki can't fail in his deductions even if he tries xD

Not gonna lie, I only enjoyed this episode for the Oreki x Eru moments.

This was a stellar episode. You just have two characters sitting at a table, having a good ass discussion from a little announcement. Eru and Houtarou's chemistry is on another level

Even though this is just a discussion between Chitanda and Oreki, it's a really gripping episode. I would critique some of Oreki's generalizations as too rational, since he doesn't take consider the possibility of people acting irrationally. The animation is on point in this anime. Chitanda pout <3

Relaxing and curious perfectly blended, for most I find the episode boring. But I loved and will never forget, every angle shown artistically, and the relationship between the characters, best episode of the series in my opinion.

the episodes where Oreki and Chitanda are alone are most enjoyable to me.

I wanted for him to be wrong, but oh well. It's just that there's not enough evidence from that one sentence for him to make a theory that well thought through and be right too. But it was still an enjoyable episode nevertheless

wow that was quite the episode, went from a simple announcement further down the rabbit hole to an entire theory of counterfeit money.
Lmao i liked how Houtarou wanted to use minimal amounts of energy through that convo but after Chitanda kept adding more and more he slowly gave in a cracked an entire fucking case from a simple few words and a wacky bet.

Oh shit
Looks like the Japanese are very serious about counterfeit money
I remember dealing with counterfeit money every other day as a kid. I guess that's something ordinary in a third world country

I really like Chitanda × Oreki, I thought that they are going really far off with their discussion about the announcement but it really shocked me that they really figured it out. Well, Oreki also didn't expect that they would be on point, it was only meant to be a challenge between them(≧▽≦)

Houtarou never cease to amaze me. That deduction skills will land him a detective job someday.

And even if his assumptions ended up wrong, which is not lol, those theories he made is really amazing. I also try to make some assumptions but my only theory is shoplifting lol.

There was way too much Hotaro x Eru here (not that I'm complaining!). Please just kiss already! I so want to see them end up together.

Also, Eru was unbelievably cute when she questioned what the "shade" in "shady" referred to (probably not a direct, literal translation from the Japanese?)

Damn. Hotaro just can't get it wrong. Although I had guessed that he'd be right. But still, damn.

This episode went to the technicality

As the announcement was made they started to debunk it and went in depth

We also see some romantic build-up from the two main characters which is kinda nice to see the relationship progress now considering how many episodes have passed Eru on a yukata/kimono next episode can't wait to see that.

It was a good episode.
It was good to have an episode with only Chitanda and Houtarou participating, because it served to develop the relationship between the two.

This episode is wild. They start with something so simple and end up with a really complex theory. No way that happen in real life without luck involved, they basically deduce the theory from one announcement

really good episode. despite being pretty much just 25 minutes of chitanda and oreki talking, it ended up being probably one of my favorite episodes of the show so far

I don't know how to feel about the romance. That was a nice mystery, but nothing really important.

Seems like next episode is a new year one, I'm scared.

This episode is ironic, because Oreki claims to have solved all his previous cases just by luck, which is untrue. But in this episode, the fact that he came up with the right theory really was just luck. A nice little piece of writing.

What what what??? Chitanda got shy whn close to Oreki?! Did I miss something? Since when did the change happen? And it even happened twice!
That's a progress right there folks!

About the mystery for this episode, I thought someone must've forgotten something important in the shop. I didn't immediately assume some crime. Turns out Oreki was right as always (albeit he got lucky for sure this time) :D

Such good narrative writing to start from something small and build up the theory. The punchline at the end was funny, as he disproved his own initial theory assumption about not having talent and just getting lucky.
