| Looks like this episode is reaching its climax for trying to find the murderer. A case like this had some unusual circumstances... This episode felt like a horror movie in a way as well. The lack of remorse and case itself has created a lot of uneasy feelings among the cast. |
 |
| I usually find murder mysteries to be monotonous, but it appears there's one that even I can find interesting. The amount of useless talking and going in circles only to find one plausible solution based on a whole lot of assumptions that turned out to be the correct one is a bit annoying, but with the fantasy setting I'm willing to suspend my disbelief and watch the pretty animation. |
 |
| The mystery concludes, with a show-stopping conclusion... This arc was really interesting to watch, with great direction throughout, and moments that had me on the edge of my seat, even if it wasn't really action-heavy. Each episode flew by very quickly, and I was invested fully. I'm not going to say the big reveal was unpredictable, but the anime did a great job casting doubt in the minds of us viewers, with red herrings left and right. The episode this week played out like a live action play to an extent, with dialogue that flowed very well, and striking visuals. It's a very unique style that I've enjoyed a lot. Now, onto the next arc! |

These last couple of episodes were quite boring and mechanical after the first episode had promised us a road trip through steam-age Europe. |
| So the vampire murder case finally wraps up. Really good mini-arc that had me thoroughly confused in the best possible way throughout lol. Everyone in that mansion was sus and up until the last minute I thought it was the daughter behind everything. The frozen stake twist was some really dope writing. I hope going forward we get more action scenes though. That Tsuguru Raoul fight was dope. Really shows how terrifying Tsuguru can be even with half his powers gone. Show has now name dropped Lupin and Sherlock. I’m willing to bet the professor ends up being Moriarty since there’s an M on his cane. Would also explain why they name dropped Sherlock so much a couple weeks ago. Great ep 👍 |

Paladin23 said: i was very wrong i thought the little girl would be the murder having been control somehow. same here, but I guess even anime follows occams razor. |
The fight scene is so satisfying to watch, definitely a treat after previous uneventful episodes |
| Now I can say it, under the influence or not, the script flows so amazingly smooth, it's quite astonishing how the time flies watching this anime. Still, watching a detective story weekly is not ideal. Not having every clue immediately recollected from the episode before can belittle the impact. |
| I had a feeling it was that brat, cause I mean he's a brat. This case felt like your typical detective story with just the supernatural involved. I hope things get better. |
 |
| I'm pretty sure I didn't blink even once throughout the first half, such was the weight of whatever Aya was deducing. Though we got our culprit and he's the lousy blonde son who used to have totally DIFFERENT views on how their kind should live.. and I mean "used to" because after the beating he took from Tsugaru that's the best possible term to describe his current status lol. Anyways, we're over with the vampire arc and as expected the trio are onto some new venture now. Looking forward to whatever is coming next. Also hey that bad old guy made an appearance with some strange creatures tagging him and taking some familiar names.. so again looking forward. Keep the great direction going. |
 |
| Well, looks like they solved it! Wasn't expecting them to kill the guy, but either way it was quite the brawl. Sneak peak at this "professors" companions. |
 |
| Damn and it was the son this whole time, I had a feeling it was their servant but it caught me off guard. Im actually enjoying this, funny mc and the immortal girl is so smart. Cant wait for the next episodes |
| It kinda sucked that they decided to cut out some of the best parts of this chapter, bit still a great episode |
| this show is fire, surprised that it's adapted from a novel |
| This episode is mostly deduction/explanation/talking but i wasn't bored at all, they did rather good job with the anime. Props to the VAs, especially Aya's VA, the way she talks keeps my attention. I thought the older brother or even the daughter was the one who committed the crime, the younger brother was the one i suspected the least even including the maids. When they talked about holy water, freezing it didn't cross my mind as a method since i assumed there are no refrigerators at that place/time (they become common at homes in early 1900s, this episode took place in 1898). I guess they use the early freezer models invented in around the middle of 19th century. |

Seems that either i didn't pay good attention or i have memory problems due to terrible sleeping habits. |

| I called the whodunnit since ep 2! The howdunnit had a lot of nuance and certainly did not let me down. All in all, a great episode. |
| Well, I was definitely wrong. Really didn’t think it was him. This episode was so gripping. Damn, that fight scene was good. Tsugaru’s got that aesthetic. Looks like new characters are incoming. |
| The presentation is delightful, but I don't love the solution. That's so much effort to leave a ton of evidence in his room. The bloody bottle used for the transfer, the sword, the fingers, just waiting for someone to search the rest of the house. And we didn't get a justification of the butler's weird reactions. Oh well, it's fun. |
What did they mean by this? I think it symbolizes Rindo's intelligence shining like an aura, and the evidence she's examining is being engulfed by her sheer brainpower. I think I'm right. |

| i must say, the directing is pretty good. liked how it kept blacking out as he bolted towards shinuchi. |

Paladin23 said: I'd totally forgotten about the weird old guy with the cane. That was a great guess.dragynfaerie said: it was too on the nose for one of the humans to be a part of the crime. I figured the girl got brainwashed by the guy with the M cane (and as he visited the mansion not a bad theory) I did believe the brother (older) covered it up but I like how the scene played outSo did I. I thought the maid was her puppeteer. |
| that was a crazy way to wrap up that arc but i really wasn't expecting him to kill the kid i thought he'd get a beatdown and then lord goddard would decide what to do. |
 |
| Finally they caught the murderer... |

| Well I was wrong. I didn't think it would be Rauol but it makes sense and I glad it avoided the mystery trope of talking down to the audience to make you feel stupid. This was a really strong episode and I can't wait for more. I know pacing may not be everyone's cup of tea but it works for this. |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |
| Yeah I also did not suspect it to be the younger son, maybe the older son and/or the butler and maid. I'm sure if I watch this a second time I'll pick up on hints that I missed or glossed over the first time. Now onto a new adventure/mystery. I'm enjoying this series as it is pretty different compared to the other types of anime that I watch (I have yet to watch Case Closed). |

| The truth is out: someone within the Godard family is the murderer of Hannah. With the 7 problems laid out for Aya, the 6th was the one that broke the case wide open: sound, and with the 7th: the dust in the 3rd problem's holy water bottle that was left at the crme scene, and one that was perceptible to vampires by being burnt in holy water. That, translated to conditions that the murderer must fulfill, by all accounts, all points to the young brother Raoul, tricks of the trade included, which he decides to oust himself after being found out by threatening Aya and Tsugaru, though the latter had an upper hand when dealing with him as an unrefined murderer. The Oni Slayer dealing with Raoul, he is unfathomable and unrivaled, of someone who came from the Great Purge, and someone who helms his Rakugo damn great. But from Aya, she has an inkling of who took her body, and they're off to London to find more intriguing characters. NGL, this show is what I wanted Kyokou Suiri to be: a detective show that doesn't grate on your nerves, and is still a great mystery thriller. Keep the cases coming. |

| So the culprit was Raoul. To be honest, it wasn't too surprising considering that he openly showed his dislike for humans... but, on the other hand, I was still surprised because I didn't expect that he could kill his own mother. I thought he would at least make an exception for his mother, and the butler as well. If he really hated humans that much, why didn't he kill the butler too? Or even just the butler...? After all, Godard said that he and the butler had known for a long time and were good friends, so if he were to die then Godard would most likely panic as well. Why did he choose to kill his mother? Well, he said he was "different" anyway... but that's what I didn't expect, he could kill his mother. Even though he is a vampire, he was still born from a human woman. And that human woman eventually chose to become a vampire. :( I like the way Aya presented her thoughts and concluded this case, and Tsugaru... wowie. Man is no joke. He finished off Raoul while casually telling stories about himself. That was cool and fun! |
