| I felt like a lot happened this episode. Very fun. I like how a lot of the cases pan multiple episodes. Going into it I thought it'd be a 1 or 2 episodes per case kind of structure. |
| Looks like everyone ended up showing up. I actually can’t wait for next episode, looking forward to Tsugaru and and the new Oni slayer interaction. Next episode about to be even more hectic than this one… |
 |
| Woah. Things are going down!! With so many plot twists and changes in direction, I can't believe this wasn't a 40-minute special episode. The pacing felt so natural, and yet so much happened. We're introduced to the characters that were foreshadowed before, Aleister Crowley is an intriguing character. I love the concept. Fatima seems to have some kind of night-vision of echolocation based on her fight with the Phantom. I wonder if he's dead now? Or will he play a bigger role now that a third party is threatening the mansion? The shot of Tsugaru, Lupin, and the white soldier fighting for the diamond under the moon was mwah~ This episode was everything I could've hoped for. Undead Murder Farce never disappoints! |
| I'll make it with the power of cute I'm unstoppable |
| Aya san holding onto the box with her teeth was funny lmao. Gonna be lots of fighting next episode, I can see the Sherlock Holmes fight looking very weird and unnatural, if he does end up fighting like Tsugaru. |
❝Kabo-chan is ran by the MAL staff team and does not respond to individual comments made on her profile.❞ I was immensely devastated. |
| If Holmes had kept his mouth shut instead of showing off to Lupin, Lupin wouldn't have got to the diamond lmao. |
rohimir said: auroraloose said: 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. I don't think Aya's head was in the safe just for startling Lupin. I thought it was acting more like an alive GPS to alert Tsugaru of Lupin's position. Although that plan didn't go so well. But I share your concern about M's crew. They seem too one-dimensional at first glance. I hope, like Bungou, more personality gets added into them as the story progresses. I think that'd make more sense if Tsugaru or the maid were able to sense where Aya was somehow—which is clearly not the case given that they literally lost her last episode. If all she can do is surprise Lupin once, and maybe scream once, that's not a solid plan given how big the place is. Of course, that doesn't stop the story from conveniently having the plan work anyway: It can frame the plan as clever whether or not that's actually the case. And whether or not the viewer questions it then depends on how easily pleased and distracted the viewer is. Again, as I've said more than once, it's not like I'm hating on Undead Murder Farce for no reason, or that there aren't aspects I like. It's when a show is disappointing—particularly when it shows promise, as this has—that I'm most critical. I'm skeptical that it can save itself by fleshing out any of its newer characters; it's clear at this point that reference overload is the primary reason they're there, and that the show is using this as a replacement for good writing. I'll still watch for Aya and Tsugaru, though—and for the fun I get analyzing it. |
| Te occidere possunt sed te edere non possunt nefas est |
| Multiple battles happening in one episode what a chaos. diamond in the rough lol |
 |
| Lol, lupin really didn't see that one coming. Last episode I found it a bit weird that towards the end when tsugaru was talking and carrying aya's cage, aya wasn't saying anything. |
 |
| Great episode this week, once again. The soundtrack was especially good this time. |
| Love all the characters managing to outsmart each other in different ways, as well as all the moving parts now all hell has broken lose at the mansion. |

I feel like it's too early to condemn them. Yeah—that actually wasn't aimed at you, so sorry it kind of sounded like it. Rather, other people here have reacted strongly against my criticism recently, and I thought I should reiterate that I'm not just trying to hate on the show. |
| Te occidere possunt sed te edere non possunt nefas est |
| Really fun. I thought for sure this case would end this episode but we got the plot getting in the way of the resolution. Still I think it'll probably be over next episode, but maybe we will get a confrontation with Aya and the doctor dude this early? What will the rest of the season be then? Like another unrelated case? That could be fun but is a bit weird. Guess we'll see how this wraps up. |
| Episode was great, a lot of suspension left for next episode that did leave me a bit pissed. I hate when there's a cliffhanger when the story is getting good. Very excited to see Tsuguru and the red oni fight next episode. |
 |
phantomfandom said: *the red oni when he joins Tsuguru, Lupin, and the albino guy next episode*This is not just a 3-way battle, it's a 4-way battle! |
|
| Curious to see how Aya is going to handle herself considering she's the most helpless person here and I doubt Sherlock isn't nearly as capable as Tsugaru or any of the other nearly or decidedly super human individuals here. |
 |
| So Shizuku is going to 1v1 a vampire while Tsgaru is going to have a good old fashion triple threat match with Lupin and Reynold. Also...fucking Fatima is taking on Phantom. This is going to be a fun couple of weeks boys! |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |
| Best change of pace, for me. Not only we have Tsugaru referencing their Trojan Horse strategy during the chase, but the Three Stooges fighting. |
| Pretty chaotic episode with now 4 groups fighting for the diamond. I gotta say that was clever in the use of the rope when the water was rushing into the safe room, also I figured Lupin was going to be one of the characters in disguise inside the safe but the way Sherlock found out was impressive. That new group looks pretty intimidating and apparently they don't care how many people they kill to get to their objective. On that note, while Carmilla is hot, I hope (and think) that Shizuku will win in their fight. Btw, Shizuku's weapon looks badass 👍 |
auroraloose said: Personally I disagree with this, and in my opinion this episode may have been the best episode of all time in anime. The antagonists have been foreshadowed before and are obviously the main villains, so this isn't just some random side characters that the story is wasting its time on: these are THE bad guys, breaking in and setting the main plot into motion with a bang when we were expecting another case-solving episode.

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. I honestly don't have many thoughts about Aya's plot, she alerted Tsugaru of their location and taking it at face value it was a nice twist lol. I think letting Tsugaru know where they were was the main point instead of jumpscaring, as you stated, it would do virtually nothing As someone who isn't too well-versed in fictional characters of this kind and therefore doesn't quite get all the references, the characters are fun to me. Obviously I can't change your mind on them, but I found Aleister Crowley fascinating. They've also seem to have done their own mix with one of the characters who has red oni marks like Tsugaru does! Looking at Holmes, I can understand how one would think that they're just cheap carbon copies making cameos, but I truly think that these villains are gonna play a big part in the main plot and I'm super excited to see more. |
| I'll make it with the power of cute I'm unstoppable |
| Mmm it feels like they are extending this a bit too much hope next episode something happens because they kept going to different people as hinting each will have a section battle separate which will only make this longer. |
| Goddamn, that Vampire had a nice ass lol |
| It seems the Royce people aren't as strong as I expected. I thought they were strong enough to easily destroy an Oni Slayer, but they just seem to be above average superhuman and talented with certain things, like Fatima able to use those special crossbows so diligently. |

| It's all just because of diamond :) |

rohimir said: you right, I feel the same way but they continuously do it every episode :D maybe a lil teamwork rather than whats happening now Vooo said: They made sure to make Sherlock look like ass all the time. Sheesh be more clever about, -15dkp....sloppy japan cmon LMAO. I don't think he looks like ass but they definitely nerfed him. I think it's because they want to showcase more Aya's intelligence and feared that it would get overshadowed by Shelrock's. A bit disappointing, I won't lie. |
 |
| Ahh. The old men crew has joined the fight. Clearly they're going to come out unscathed though. I still wonder how that's going to change things going forward though after this arc ends. |
 |
| Yeah somehow i don't think a tiny bridge and a tiny mote could really keep these literal superhuman/monsters trapped, but I suppose it's the thought that counts. |

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. |
| Te occidere possunt sed te edere non possunt nefas est |
| Very chaotic but in a good way. Love that they were laughing and having fun at the end there. All I wanna see is Shizuku’s moves. |
| oh nice! action packed! lolz i knew somethings-up with the previous upper-cut of Lupin to Tsugaru, it because he ain't serious about the fight! he's holding back! but anywayz looks like there are others who wants chaos/disturbance huh... 4/5. |
 |
| They really turned this into a battle royale with historic figures, this was hella action-packed. Looks like there will be a conclusion to this next episode. |
auroraloose said: 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.

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