| That cat has a lot of personality besides just being able to talk and acting lazily. This episode had a case with dead fish possibly connected to a curse. Not going to lie but I think that moving doll is one of the creepier entities in this series so far. Tae seems like a tough woman who isn't afraid to speak her mind. I actually find her character likable for being tough. Looks like Kotoko showed up to solve this case so I have high hopes for them. |
 |
| Tomokazu Sugita voicing a fat orange cat somehow feels so appropriate... like he could be voicing Garfield. |
| I'm no Weeaboo I'm Katsura |
| Was hoping they'd expand the collection of waifus with a new one marking her presence in this new arc given that's what they been doing since first season, but instead we got an old lady... ಥ_ಥ Anyways the case looks interesting enough, so we still have that going for us. |
 |
| Damn Tae-San is what I wanna be when I grow up, picture of health. Not as excited for this case as the last two, but it’s messed up what happened to Zenta’s grandson. Awful way to die really and I’m surprised that didn’t prompt the local council to put better ordinances in place to prevent deaths like that. I def understand his frustration but cursing the town ain’t gonna help. Lets see what kotoko cook up |
 |
| This time it's a case revolving around a living doll with lightning powers. Interesting, let's see how Iwanaga tackles this mystery. |
| 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. |
| Not that much interested in the case this time. It's sort of creepy though. |
 |
| Well, that's a nice little mystery for Kotoko to spin a yarn out of. No Sake tricks this episode... |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| Tae-san is so cool! And the cat is adorable. I like how they introduce the cases where we get to have a glimpse into the new character's lives. |
  |
| Wow this arc is pretty rad so far. Electroshock Pinocchio is a pretty unique twist on the original. |
| We have now an cat who can talk, he got taken in by Tae-san when he was feeling weak, what an awesome woman and she can keep herself fit as well. This time its an story about Zenta and his grandson, his grandson died in the Ambulance because it was busy on the road, Zenta then made an doll out of him and Zenta died later on as well, the doll was gone in some mysterious way, anyhow the doll is roaming the streets at night, going into the ocean and killing fish apparently for no reason, when the other Yokai tried to stop him he attacks them with his electricity. The town folk call it the Zenta-Curse or something. The cat is now calling out to Kotoko to be of assistance in this and help to solve it with Kurou. |

| the giant crab didn't have to be flipped on its back to attack its weak point for massive damage |
  |
| I like the old lady a lot. I feel like the side characters have been really well done so far and quite interesting. Just the side stories themselves have been kinda boring. |
 |
| I do like Tae-san and how she gets straight to the point with a lot of matters. It's good that she helped out the cat yokai and how I enjoyed their chat between each other while dealing with the issues that the town is dealing with. The issue itself is a Pinocchio doll capable of using electricity to attack anyone that tries to stop it, before going into the sea and killing as much fish as it can each night. The doll was made by Zenta, a kind grandfather who was in mourning after his grandson was tragically run over in the town and due to how busy the roads were due to a tourism boost, the poor kid died while the ambulance was stuck in traffic. Zenta himself died from heart failure not long after, where Tae-san herself being the first to find his corpse, adding more layers of sadness to this arc already. =( I do look forward to seeing how Kotoko and Kuro will play a part in solving this case. A battle against the doll does seem inevitable in order to stop it for good. |
| Just noticed the cat's voice actor is same as Gintoki's, looking forward to how they'll solve this case. |

| Be happy with what you have to be happy with |
| This season has been presenting a great cast of side-characters so far. Tae is very likeable and the duo she makes with the Bake-neko is quite amusing to see. Pretty intriguing episode overall. Looking forward to seeing Kotoko tackling this case. |
| A fat yokai bakeneko voiced by Tomokazu Sugita, that's the most "appropriate" thing ever...? The Electricshock Pinocchio case is a unique twist from the manga, with this old but healthy granny Tae Shimai being awoke to a sea of dead fish, birthed from Tohira Zenta's curse: their grandson Tsubasa being killed from a hit-and-run incident, him dying of heart failure, which impact the fish somehow, and the town of Totomizu suffering from unhealthy sanitation from the curse. What'e even worse, a doll that Zenta had carved out of Tsubasa's size completed just before his natural death, only she knows. And this, more than anything, resembles Pinocchio in the original novels, which wasn't glamorous to begin with, but if it indeed was the doll at work, this could spook everyone out. The bakeneko wanting its fill of alcohol, and Tae asking it in exchange for information, and indeed, the doll is on the move. But monsters residing below the cliff of her house in hiding from the doll that is moving on its own, it's reality unimagined right in front of her face as the gorllla Master Shojo and crab Okani battles it, to no avail of its accurate electric powers emitted from the rock in its right hand. That's how most fish were electrocuted to death, and Zenta's wish for the doll to exact death on all, it's terrifying. Their solution: take this matter to Kotoko and let her stay in her place for the time being, along with Kuro, and a welcome gift. How to resolve this matter, next episode. |

| TBH I thought the old lady was Kotoko or some distant relative. |

| That new story seems odd with all the dead fish, that revenge puppet sure sounds scary, I wonder what the two MCs will be able to do (anyway I like the alcoholic spirit cat xD) |
 |
| Didn't knew Sugita voiced Garfield |
| what a brilliant set-up of this episode! even if its entire talking, i didn't fall asleep and it was interesting! so we're dealing with and electric user huh...quite low standards if you ask me compared on what Kuro can do...but let's see i hope there's some twist in here and they got a bit struggling resolving this matter! 5/5. |
 |
| Anime Garfiel be like... |
 |
| Gin-cat is really funny. This will be a good arc. Scary-spooky doll helps too. Embarrassed old lady, asking for gifts. Tsk tsk. |
| Bakeneko. Poor Zenta. Why is this Pinocchio so different from what I heard? I thought he was just a liar. Tae's character is nice. Tae's imagination of Kotoko is funny. |
 |
| that old lady is pretty cool, wth the cat is also kinda cute if i didn't hate horror, i would probably look for the pinochio story they mentioned, it sounds pretty dark lol |
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |
| SUPER FIGHTING ROBOT....pinochio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
 |
a yoikai in the form of a cat with a love for alcohol, sounds familiar |
 <-click |
| Never thought you could depict Pinocchio in a way that came across as cool, but this episode managed it. |
