Heh, an interview with a criminal.

For an episode with dark elements, this one was actually kinda amusing thanks to the humor and personalities. It's still hard to trust anyone in this show though, especially from what they say out of their mouths. Some of the cast are notorious for twisting truths. Feels like this anime is digging into characters with dark histories.

This episode has a lot of wasteful scene, but maybe that's the point of this episode.

Ok based on the amount of times they mentioned that dragon and the set up with the android body, I’m guessing the flame setter dude is a dragon from Corpse’s world? And it seems like they set up the possibility that several other beings from that world have been summoned as well.

Polka’s dad may have been harsh on him but you can tell how much he really loves his son in his own way. Solid ep!

Phantom Solitaire brings back the vibes Orihaya Izaya had from Durarara to DMDP. Feels so long since we have such a similar character

Also, Ryohgo Narita has been given permission by author Kana Yoshimura to upload her manga Mucielargo

This Phantom Solitaire guy is the ultimate showman. Giving off massive Riddler vibes with his extravagant spectacles. Toying with the police even when hes in custody. Breaking out whenever he wants to just to cause more chaos. He's definitely going to be an inferring foil for Polka since the corpse god is of the more serious nature. Phantom Solitaire conversation with Fire Breathing Bug was very entertaining. Such different personalities and ways of dealing with things. Phantom Solitaire just wanting to do whatever he wanted and enjoy a wasteful life with adoring fans. Fire Breathing Bug wanting to burn it all down in a much more constructive way. I'm interested to see how Phantom Solitaire fits into this crazy world especially since as the cops said people like that seem to attract other unsavory people to them. Polka dad took the news of everything pretty well. At least letting them all leave without any further trouble. Original Polka could be moved into a robot body soon. I enjoyed seeing them talk at the end of the episode about how some things from corpse god world are myths over in ours. Making you think that maybe corpse god coming over isn't the first time the two worlds have overlapped. Polka has some new house guests from his family showing up at the end.

As the Corpse God reveals to Polka's grandfather Rozan about his true origins, Lemmings a.k.a Nezu got the thanks from Takeru from saving the twins, and Misaki is prepared to face death in front of him, though the sharkborg plush prohibits him from doing so, what a hilarious low blow. Polka wanting to be involved in his grandfather's sci-fi experiments, though he called it even with Misaki for saving the twins.  An apology and thanks from Misaki, and even though Polka's soul lives on, he is fine about it. Hopefully both Kazuki and Shizuki have learnt their lesson, though with the accompanying spirit of their deceased sister, it's a good ending.

That said, the Fire-Breathing Bug is still on the loose, and the Phantom Solitaire walked out on his own and escaped scot-free, even how much Tsubaki had prepared for everything but that. Ten'a Sorimura's feats in Shinjuku was quite the long list of crimes, including the assassination of the government politicians, learnt from mangaka Kana Yoshimura's Murciélago. Ten'a's sure a showman of magic, and he wouldn't be ashamed of his efforts to entertain people through his masterful trickery. Polka's soul converted into a crocodile, and Polka getting an old-school radio to hear of developments outside, the illusionist has eyes towards those who are in the know of him, especially the hijacking of TV broadcasts once again from the Grocer, standing before the illusionist himself, having fun laying waste to everything while fighting against the one who denounces his being.

Though the Corpse God has no recollections of such events and could only match those of his own world, having common things would help blur the line between worlds. Though they get an unexpected visitor in the form of Sayo, what are they exactly here for?

Now I'm digging with the show. 'tis a good episode.

Assasination are only half on list. There is no evidence he actually did them.

Finally, they took the tryhard wannabe-cool cringe down a notch. The show gets instantly soo much better.

The info dumping through the police guy is still a quite clumsy, though.

Okay seeing the twin's Suzu-nee (pls correct me if I'm wrong) hugging them looking like her old self made me teary-eyed. I'm such a sucker for plots that have souls guarding/watching over kids and loved ones.

The appearance of the twins, introduction of Lemmings, the Shinomiyas and all these new characters has made me more invested in the story. I'm actually enjoying it now.

And with this, the three main Troublemakers have been introduced, Solitaire being in pure Narita style.

I'm glad people actually stayed, this series can be so fun when you spend some time on it.

Interesting new characters, especially the Solitaire dude. lol
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.

you wrong about 1 thing.  the fire the bug using is no magic but only a simple trick so like phantom solitary said when he stood on the umbrella this episode so he can't be from polka world. same goes for lemmings since polka said when he first showed up that lemming not using magic he just person that suppressed the human limits.

This feels like such superficial entertainment to me. Despite the number of characters that each have their quirks, I feel like I've been given zero reason to care about any of this. I don't mind style over substance if it's executed well, but I'm missing some kind, any kind of hook here to really grab me. Even if the show is building up to an ending that ingeniously ties everything together and goes out with a bang, I don't even know if the road to get there is worth it and if it won't ultimately feel hollow still.

I thought I'd continue giving this a shot until it ends, but I might just go ahead and drop it tbh. Which is a shame because I loved Baccano and I don't remember Durarara being as bad as this (though I never felt inspired to continue that past s1 yet).

I would love for there to be fun criminals like this phantom solitaire guy in real life where they just want attention and dont intentionally cause harm. Only thing that comes to mind right now is this Japanese criminal individual or group that was never caught called The Monster with 21 Faces which had threatened to poison candy and did so but it labelled it telling people it had been poisoned so the only goal was to harass the police for being incompetent.

This episode was easier to follow even though we got yet another character introduced in Ten'a who does seem to have a screw loose. It was amusing to hear that he kidnapped the prime minister but left him at a manga cafe which apparently was a blast.

Looks like Sayo came at the end with a giant shark, I'm guessing she's either lonely, bored, or wants protection.

I already love this anime for the simple reason that it introduced me to Murcielago. What an absolute fucking masterpiece. Borderline warcrime that it hasn't been turned into an anime by Trigger yet.

This has been an incredibly entertaining show. Not one bit dissapointed by another work from this author. It reeks PVRE SOVL from his very same pen and paper that made the late 2000's and early 2010's such a high time for shows and stories to this liking. Now that I'm older I can appreciate and differentiate soulful edgy kino from simply cringe edgy stuff. This show falls completely in the former and I'm all in for the ride BABYYYYYYYY!!!
