| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So it was an invisibility cloak and the casino was just a pretext to test it...? well there were even invisible cards. That Fudatsuki guy is still really mysterious, I wonder how he disappeared at the end |
 |
| It was surprising they flew through the rest of volume 2 this episode! I really thought they would include many of the other details from the novel! Oh well. Man everyone looked so cool, and with ease thwarted the casinos testing, although to what existent is unknown. |
| sheeeeeeeeesh she looked so hot in that bunny suit, great episode |
| Soutouin sure loves to dress like girls a lot. Also, Mayumi in that bunny suit was looking cute and hot at the same time. The showdown between aesthetics and Swindling will be a great match-up to look out for. Lai Fudatsuki is a mysterious guy. Even after all that, there are still some things that are unknown about him. But, for today it's a win for the Pretty Boys Detective Club. |
 |
| Mayumi looked kinda hot in that bunny outfit 😳 |
 |
| This show is literal eye candy |
 Never watched as much anime as I wanted to |
| So everything is going to end up tying to a conspiracy. Honestly don't mind that. Didn't really like the monolouges though |
 |
| The only "hot" a middle school student should ever be is from having a fever. Putting a sexy bunny girl suit on a child who only recently turned 14 is neither hot nor cute. It's just wrong. Even if I had been a child in middle school while watching this, I would still feel disgusted and uncomfortable. Come on, anime, You're better than this. Aside from this, it was an interesting episode and I'm glad to see Mayumi's character development. |
 |
Interesting, it's nice to see an episode centerd on Doujima and... why not? a new (but maybe not so new?) style for the leader. |
| "I can't see what I can't see" Great episode! So it was an invisibility cloak experiment and it is tied to The Twenties. Same Hyouta, I wanna see Rei again. And Sousaku has finally spoken! I like how he's soft spoken, very calming voice. Soutoin really likes to cross dress doesn't he lmao. Mayumi in that bunny outfit though, I am really enjoying Mayumi as an MC, plus she has Shinobu's voice that's a bonus. I am guessing this is not the last we'll see of Fudatsuki Lai. Hyouta in pants is cursed, and Michiru just shoving his whole ass hand in Mayumi's mouth at the beginning was hilarious lmao. Looking forward to the next episode and to where all of this will lead. |

Vaineeeeee said: It felt anticlimactic they just straight into the epilogue I want to see the reaction of the manager. Exactly, I was very disappointed. All that build up for nothing lol, felt like such a waste. |
| It's a classic case of invisibility of the sleight hand, and Nagahiro has done his homework into the investigation on Fudatsuki. Once the Twenties are mentioned, the slim legs beauty Hyouta, NGL his lolicon reaction is out of the norm glstening, and not surprising that Fudatsuki would be tied to the Twenties for secrecy purposes: an invisibility stealth cloak experiment. To stage a revenge match with a disguise, that is the leader Sotoin's brillant plan. Sotoin's cross-dressing in a dress and Mayumi's bunny outfit for a showdown, what a sight to behold. Another episode dedicated to Mayumi (after her dream-ful self of Episode 3), and questioning of her own doubts and intents, it doesn't take a genius to discern the real trick, and what happened with Fudatsuki (his real name the Kanji for lie), the issue with the Twenties will only continue to haunt the Pretty Boy Detective Club. A good story end...etched right to the beginning. |

Your comment makes me think that you pay no attention when you watch anime or you just forgot everything about Monogatari , the series is known for it's 4th wall breaking moments talking about random stuff especially the light novels the anime toned it down a lot. Also the dialogue these past 2-3 episodes were all plot related (mostly) with very few what you call "meaningless" dialogue , if you don't understand the story and mystery on the other hand that's your problem. |

| I thought it was rather strange that the confrontation itself was brushed over in favor of an epilogue. However, with it being clear that this is just the beginning of their conflicts with Lai, I must save I find that decision... strangely beautiful. |
 |
| It would have been nice if they showed how the case ended instead of just telling us how it ended. I struggle to rate this anime because it has such a unique writing and visual style (like that of the Monogatari series), but unlike that series all of the dialogue isn’t entertaining, nor does it feel like it means anything. Maybe I just haven’t fully caught on to what the author is doing yet, but I find it much more likely that this series is just weaker and more pretentious. |
| I originally wrote my thoughts, but decided I would submit them as my first review instead. This show is brilliant, and it's criminal that next to nobody is watching. |

| I am actually surprised with the amount of ppl in this thread not understanding how Nisio Isin writes. This is prime mongoatari writing all over it. If I can take it a step further I would say this is the same genius writing found in the Zaregoto series, which is more extravagant in nature. The absurdity mixed with a sudden wall of anticlimactic conclusion is what Nisio eats, sleeps, and breathes. |
| First Rei, then the bunny suit girls, and now Mayumi herself in a bunny suit. When you start a reverse harem you don't actually expect any... ummm... "nice stuff" for us boys as well, but here we are lol |

| It was boring for me, I couldn't understand most of those explanations about the cards... |
annaferns said: Idk I'm fourteen and female, thought it's okay since it's fictional and Mayumi did it on her own accord in a casino also situated in a middle school. And tiktok egirls are normally that old too,btw Cute. I'm 26, and don't think it's okay. She didn't even do it on her own accord. The suit was decided by someone else, and she was clearly not a big fan of wearing it. Besides, some of the people calling her "hot" are people above the age of 18. A 14 year old calling another 14 "hot" is whatever, but an 18+ year old adult describing a 14 year old as "hot" is outright creepy. |
|
| What kind of evil organisation entrusts invisible clothes to a middleschooler to test out, good thing Lai just used it to cheat instead of doing perverted things. As adult I must say it felt weird seeing literal kids playing in a casino and wearing bunny outfits. |
 |
| The unique writing and visual balance so well in this episode though I still need to cover up my nitpicks |
| I really like these kinds of detective plot, mysterious but lighthearted and dreaming. I can't get enough of the OP & ED even though I was weirded out the first time I saw of how long their legs are... lol Is it just me or Manabu looks like Miku from his get up from the previous episodes and now he has got a long hair lol, anyway, it was enjoyable. |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| They didn't even show the actual confrontation? The part that was worked up as the climax of the episode/arc??? There have been some rocky points to this but that is a DISMAL way to write an episode. Really disappointed that this anime is SO pretty and had a fun hook (and clear inspiration from Ouran High School Host Club, one of my favorite anime of all time) but is fumbling SO hard with the actual storytelling part. |
