| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well, so the first arc ends. It was pretty good I'd have to say, but I didn't really care that much about the case. |
| I had a feeling that the culprit was him. His actions looked quite fishy all along. Poor Sakuragi senpai. Wish we saw more of her. |
 "No matter how far you travel, you can never get away from yourself." -- Murakami Haruki |
| As expected, it was the club advisor. YusakuGodai said: Yeah, I wish they didnt kill her off.Poor Sakuragi senpai. Wish we saw more of her. |
"I have been wielding a blade since before your were swimming around your father's scrotum." - Kurou |
| Wait, so there's no conclusion to the dude and his ghost writer? I thought they were going to expose him at least since the camera guy recorded a scene between the two... |

| So... He buried the corpse in the wall and didn't bother to cover the hole with concrete or plaster? Sure, pasting a poster is the best way to hide the 'skeletons in your wall'. What if a random student or cleaner decided to clean up the room. And the poster showed the picture of the 'young mystery novelist' which means that when the girl (senpai) died, he (kouhai) was already famous? Or the teacher just changed the posters. And the biggest of all, I don't think a poster would have been able to cover up the stench of a dead body. |
| Oh wow that was actually pretty dark ending for first case |
"Signature removed"   |
| That fucking piece of shit deserved to die. |
| This anime made me disappointed.In ep 2 mc just let his friend to go in a dangerous place knowing her life will be in danger and the whole body hiding thing.Characters are so stupid in this anime wtf... |
| Why would he cover the hole on the wall that contained the skeletons with just a poster lmao. |
 |
| Felt like the explanation being this detailed is too convenient and felt like the length wasn't justifiable by how many useless things that happened |
| A decent 'Haunted School' type of case that the anime adaptation did not really do justice: it glossed over many subplots such as the earthquake (which made the poster twist less silly), the emotional interaction between Kindaichi and Miyuki, and finally even the 'ghost writer' one - that is never resolved here, which is odd. Why wrting it in the first place? it is not like not adapting it would have been detrimental to the case: that suspect was already a prick to begin with. The whole arc felt rushed as the result: for instance, the seven mysteries narrative was not properly fleshed out. The premise is very interesting in and of itself - in spite of being a 'recurring theme' in 'teenage detective shows', but the execution of said premise left quite a lot to be desired: it seemed very 'gimmicky' by the end. It gave me the impression that the writer had a decent idea at the start, but never really knew how to properly dwell upon it once the trick and the list of suspects were established. Which is quite a shame since the main trick is neat: not 'groundbreaking neat' - I would not argue that it has been done to death, but it for sure has been done - still well 'thought-out neat' though. Certainly not as effective as it could have been in a proper and especially longer adaptation of this manga case. |
| Dayum, predictable but brutal. I like where this is going. |
