| The clothes rip scene was hot. The muscle details are top notch |
| even without body , rindou aya still waifu material LMAO |
| So the youngest son did it, case closed |
| This one is slipping away from me. I get that it's going for a particular style of humour but it just leaves me cold |

| Goddamn Tsugaru is fine. I like my men a little crazy, I guess. I don't fully understand why he's so loyal to Aya yet, but this vampire arch is taking place after a time-skip. It was interesting to see him announce himself the same way he'd been introduced at the fights. I can't tell if it's habit, trauma or both. It was such an interesting character moment. This show is very well written. I feel so strongly for Lord Godard, his family and servants. Poor man, I really like him a lot and that betrayal from his son was unimaginable. Killing the lord's wife. His own mother. The lord has trauma he'll never recover from. I'm really glad he didn't turn out to be the murderer, that would have been a boring conclusion. |

| My guess was wrong, though the real solution was really satisfying. A stake made of holy water and the time of murder being wrong was really clever. Also the action is really well directed despite the animation being average, honestly think the show could score a 9/10 if it stays this quality! |
| Great episode. The downside is the fact that it is impossible to figure out the killer logically, but that’s a fantasy setting for you, and isn’t that important as long it is fun (it definitely is). Also director did a really good job there. |
| Ah I was so close to figuring it out. I managed to figure out there were two stakes, I just didnt figure out the murder weapon was made of ice until just a few seconds before it was said. |
| Really liked it so far, thanks to the main couple whose chemistry I appreciate. I like how they both laugh to the same bad jokes. Hope it'll remain in this kind of subdued, uneasy atmosphere with mystery solving and not go into full shonen mode with stupid fights. |
| I did not expect the serie to go such lenght for a detective case, but it was absolutely worth it. I really enjoyed it, and can't wait for the next thing.. |

| It's literally becoming more and more of a Victorian monsterverse version of El Melloi cases, but I love it. Just one question, why did the guy talk about his mother as if she were a complete stranger. Wasn't she literally his own mother? And aren't they implying that that dude is Moriarty and literally triggered everything on this show, right down to the edgy phase of this vampire? |
 |
| A surprising twist came into play when a stake made of frozen holy water was unexpectedly used. The clever part was that the silver stake turned out to be a distraction. Even more cleverly, the murderer took advantage of their ability to regenerate. Raoul, with his anti-Human stance, almost got away with it, but our dynamic duo thwarted his plan. It's amusing because he even attempted to challenge Tsugaru, who had previously fought Dracula. Raoul's little vampire tricks were nothing compared to Tsugaru's experience and power. |
"......If I told you that I was a real witch, would you believe it?"  |
| Wahh! It's so obvious looking back on it! I was totally fooled by the timeline of the death. Using a stake made of holy water and yet having everything point towards the silver stake being used as the weapon was something I couldn't have seen coming, but I'm satisfied with how they drew the conclusions. Me and my friend were discussing our theories a few weeks ago, and she was really relieved (and angrily scolded me for suspecting him lol) that Alfred was completely innocent ^^ The fight scene was beautiful in its direction. It did draw it out for a bit too long for my liking, but Tsugaru's theatrical speech was nice. They also reused some of the jokes, so the episode is a 3/5 for me, but the show is still a solid 9/10 imo! |
| I'll make it with the power of cute I'm unstoppable |
| So I just picked this up and went through these 4 episodes in what felt like half an hour. Gotta say, I picked a great time to start watching this, as this 4th episode wraps up the vampire mystery. And yeah I wasn't initially intending to watch this anime, but good reception and good rating and all, so I don't want to miss out. And yes, I would've totally missed out. This has style, great dialogue, and just a solid production quality. This slapped. Will be eagerly awaiting next week's episode. |

| And so the killer has been ousted. I really though the old butler dude would have been the killer. But in a twist of fate, it wasn't. I was under the assumption that holy water would lose its holy properties if you did stuff like freeze it or manipulate it in some form. Guess that this was the loophole around it, if it weren't for the detective duo the vampires certainly would have called it wrong. There's something about the fight in the end that is simultaneously dark and circus-ey, which I can get behind. We get to see the powers of the oni in action. Going into his backstory was also intriguing. |

| Yeah there was no way the human servants could do it. (also we need more protagonists like this having a good sense of humour in anime instead of whiny high school kids) Really good voice acting this episode by Tsugaru's va too. Next Destination - ???? off-season said: If you want steam-age Europe you are better off waiting for Majo to Yajuu instead of continuing this anime.These last couple of episodes were quite boring and mechanical after the first episode had promised us a road trip through steam-age Europe. |

❝Kabo-chan is ran by the MAL staff team and does not respond to individual comments made on her profile.❞ I was immensely devastated. |
| Enjoyed this little murder mystery. Kind of suspected the younger son from the start. It was pretty much between him and the butler for me. |
 |
| The ice stick never crossed my mind but i did have Raoul as a bigger suspect so i wasn't too far off. The fight looked great again. |
felixsifuri said: right? This show reminded me a lot of Monogatari. It has a very similar premise. A lot of talking, and a lot of questions being thrown out. Watch it if your intrigued enough by this show already, but beware of the fanservice lmao.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. |

TheLerian said: Yeah monogatari is def a eccentric choice for many people. It's a good 50/50 on if you'll like it or not. Personally loved the character dev every single character had throughtout the whole storyJust rewatched this episode and I have to say that it's always a good laugh to see Shizuku and Sugaru bicker and fight. They're just like siblings like Rindo said. Azri3l said: right? This show reminded me a lot of Monogatari. It has a very similar premise. A lot of talking, and a lot of questions being thrown out.

TheLerian said: I get why you wouldn't like Monogatari cause of that aspect, judging by that you probably didn't make it to Monogatari Series: Second Season which is by far my favourite, thats a bit of a shame. Azri3l said: Honestely, I was fine till the stuff with the sisters. That threw me over the edge. 1st season was wonderful though.Yeah monogatari is def a eccentric choice for many people. It's a good 50/50 on if you'll like it or not. Personally loved the character dev every single character had throughtout the whole story Monogatari comparisons in terms of quirky characters and especially dialogue are very frequently made for this series, absolutely true for this first arc and the pilot episode. |
| The deduction part by Aya was so good, and I had no idea that it would be Raoul, his fight against Shinuchi was also really impressive regarding the animation and direction, definitely the best episode for the resolution of this case |
 |
| The writing in this show is on the "Sherlock Holmes fanfiction written by a MAL user" level of quality. Pretty lame anime so far despite the good directing. |

| Tsugaru whooped the young son real good. Aya verbally nailed (no pun intended lol) the case down to the tea. Mr 'M' has a Frankenstein? His group also looks interesting! |
| So what happened to the vampire brat? Did Shinuchi really kill him? 🤔 I finally figured out who the M-dude is. The Sherlock Holmes and "Professor" references, the fact that he's from London, and the "M" initial made that clear: He is Professor James Moriarty, the king of crime and Holmes' nemesis. Here with a supernatural twist. If his initial was "F" he'd be Victor Frankenstein, accompanied by his monster. |

I totally thought it was the butler who killed her, but it turns out to be Raoul. I feel like it tries a little too hard to be mysterious but at least the conclusion was satisfying. I also like that Raoul actually was killed and didn't just get beaten up as some kind of retribution. It emphasizes that the show is not all roses and jokes.
| @BlazingNights It was left deliberately unclear if Shinuchi killed Raoul. The "he lost his son" line does not necessarily mean he killed him; perhaps he lost him as a son. More likely Shinuchi beat some sense into him, showing him he was not as strong as he thought and/or there's always someone stronger. We've also been told that Shinuchi only kills in performances. It was still weird though that Lord Godard never wondered or queried what happened to Raoul... |

| @borderliner Cold like an undead person? |
| I'm glad the murderer didn't turn out to be the Butler or the Maid, as it would've been an anti-climatic reveal imo. Raoul can't even put up a fight lol. Really curious to know now what the old man with a cane and his group are supposed to be. Still unsure whether they're the "good guys" or the "bad guys" after their talk about Lupin. Maybe they're trying to eradicate all monsters? |

| He could’ve argued better because there his family but he decided to randomly attack Bro is dumb The fight scene was pretty good Didn’t need the full introduction of oni but ok |
