Hmm—the best anime episode. Well it certainly wasn't this one, but I don't think I've ever thought of what would be.
This episode might be called action distraction, though it's not as if the action was boring. As for Moriarty et. al., that they were foreshadowed doesn't mean they can't still be a mess of performative references with little substance. They function as fake symbols of effort—cheese doodles rather than steak.
I personally am somewhat familiar to these historical characters and am really enjoying that they are putting them all together like this. I'm not sure if the writer made it easy for himself not crafting more characters himself but if he pulls it off, i'm content. 

The main trio is very good and have their own nice quirks so that's a plus. 

I like that you're being respectful and eloquent while criticising the show though, i think those are good reads. 



Thanks, I appreciate it. I do try not to be too mean, but sometimes it does help develop the conversation to be outrageous. I also try never to begrudge people their enjoyment—to enjoy a thing is good, and even mindless trash is good for unwinding—but I might argue about the origin or wider context of that enjoyment (hence my beef with the detective genre).

Well, that certainly took a turn for the worse at the end there...
Looks like its going to be a real hassle trying to get that diamond back, that's if the others that have showed up don't intervene as well, thought it seems they are and then making it even more chaotic.

That was a letdown. First, it should've left Holmes at a loss, rather than having him save face figuring out where Lupin was. I was also disappointed in Aya's scheme; a jumpscare? That does almost nothing, other than potentially get her captured. So even in the machinations the show fails.

Tsugaru, Lupin, and sword guy punching each other flying through the air was the best part, I think, and Tsugaru's story was also good. But the episode wasted Aya, who is the center; and now we have to deal with the big rotten mass of references that is Moriarty's crew. It should be obvious that the performative appeal to historical and literary characters is lazy writing. Undead Murder Farce is turning out to be a good idea lazily executed—one that could actually have been interesting but settled for reference popcorn. Well, at least this season has Dark Gathering.
@auroraloose You're trying so hard to be different it's actually funny lmao

Hmm. I assure you that my stance requires so little effort it is practically natural. I eat and shit literary criticism. I agree that I am good at humor though.

This is absolutely crazy and I love it ahah, so many twist and I especially like Aya in the diamond's box xD While we have another group coming to steal the diamond but absolutely killing everyone in the process, while we also have that fight at the Moonlight, oh damn

Solution to the water dilemma: Make another hole and drain the water out of there

Leave it to Holmes to be on top of his game. Didn't take much time at all for Holmes to lay out the thief's plan, but Holmes didn't keep the guy contained.

Now all the events of the past episode come together. She wasn't lost on accident, apparently Lupin isn't as big a fighter as he was previously shown, and everything else.. smooth. This episode has a good dose of action. And Mr. M is getting in on this thief tale too! This is a three pronged fight.. interesting. Carmilla is owning that dress despite being an evil vampire.

This show basically just turned into Fate at this point.

The action is good, but man get back to being a detective thriller, show, you were good at that.

Very good episode, Lupine's good plan to keep the diamond, it's a shame it wasn't perfect. Being a single head has its advantages and finally the professor and his henchmen took action. Sherlock was right, Royce's envoys want to eliminate them and get the diamond

What a ride. It's nonsense but delivered with so much style and creativity at an insane pace. The episode just kept building hype that towards the end of the episode when Shizuku was unwrapping her rifle with the music I was just cackling.

Swept me off my feet, I'm now even more on board with this show.

It seems the site has hit the fan for good. So according to Royce even deformed humans are considered monsters? They're quite a racist band. I hope that Doublefarts brat with the magical crossbows gets wasted soon.

Will Holmes and Aya meet Moriarty first or Shinuchi? Well, we all know they need to defeat their lackeys first.

I hope Shizuku's naginata is made of silver. It looked like it did. As for that oni-hybrid in Moriarty's band does he have arterial disease instead of the venereal one Shinuchi has or did the animators thought the colors matched their hair nicely? 🤔

So all of the people from Moriarty's team has their names from book writers,book characters or serial killer.

I think they can make the character of Aleister crazier thinking of how he was in real life and Carmilla is book character actually and its kind of a lesbian story (Its debatable if you have 'they were roommates' logic I guess) so Im interested if they gonna put this in here somehow
