THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
A girl-boy with crows that has art ability who is airheaded + kouhai who wants to get near Kaito added to the series.

The puzzle this time is from an owner's late artist husband. An the puzzle is done by the butler (lol @ Sebastian, like Kuroshitsuji!!).

The girl is more worried about the "partner" rather than the puzzle! lol, and it seems like Gammon fell in love with the girl and tries to help her.

Kaito, inside the locked room with the artist personl, trying to solve the puzzle without the god's help.

The treasures are the pictures of the wife!

Seems like the person in Kaito's memory is the main boss?

It's a TRAP lol. Best trap ever.

Although I was surprised they didn't figure out the roman numerals right away. The moment the letters were revealed, it was extremely obvious they were Roman numerals.... :/

Trap card played..... (Although how did a boy get the name Anna Graham?)

Gammon has good taste, Nonoha is smart, attractive, and athletic. Kaito has both Anna and white-haired boy after him, so maybe Gammon has a chance.

lol at Gammon at the end. he's easily the best character.

Kaito X Anna is official now.



Kaito blushed so he likes Anna and Anna said he loves Kaito and happy
that he met Kaito and even happened to like puzzle by this event.
I think someday Anna will draw Kaito and make a puzzle for Kaito to
solve just like how this ep happened. This time it would be full of Kaito pictures
he drew.

But who would Kaito choose at the end ?

Anna or the shota Cubic who thinks Kaito is awesome or the past friend Luke that
he always thinks about.
There is always other options like Jikukawa who always likes to see Kaito or the red haired
Gimmjow.

First episode I found to be somewhat good.
First the presentation wasn't so ridiculous as before and Anna is the first character I like.

Ending was somewhat funny, but was it necessary for Anna to be a boy? I mean, as a girl, he could've been a popular character, because he acts cute and stuff. Can't see the point.

Much better than the first 3 episode. They actually take the time to solve the puzzle instead of "Oh we are out of time so let use the XXX power to hack the puzzle."

P.S. the painting art of the old lady when she was young were so elegant, I like it.

Actually pulled the wool over everyone's eyes--that Anna took off his shirt at the earlier half of the episode was sort of a hint. Sort of. But then, wouldn't Konoha have seen that while blinding Kaito? Regardless, I think Anna was the episode's real, albeit unemphasized 'til the end, puzzle. XD

Hm...name makes me face palm a bit, but that's sort of the allure of the show is how they make everything about the puzzles (esp. the it'll-give-me-more-appeal club girl, life changing going off how you view them).

I really liked the way that Anna was used to sort of indicate the chink in Kaito's puzzle-lovin' words, though, with the "compensation" lines. It's cool that they didn't just leave it for granted, because the plot's obviously going to build toward Kaito and white-fro's meeting, and since that's where the whole promise has its source, I mean. *shrug* ~.~

Honestly, i think most people watching over the age of 10 instantly recognized it was Roman numerals. Which makes it all the more sadder that it was written as some sort of perplexing mystery that our resident puzzle genius neeeded time to think about.

He figured out the mystery behind the room, the hidden message of the paintings yet came up stumped on the code's meaning even after the fact they were shown that the input system was numeric only.

Well i hate to pour out the haterade and despite how ridiculously poor the puzzles and the execution of thought process have been the show is mildly entertaining. Its a shame though, this could have been the Professor Layton of anime (putting aside the movie of course) but so far it hasn't even attempted to stimulate thought in any unorthodox or interesting manner.

I didn't figure it out...I'm not to good with roman numerals, I mean it isn't every day I go past ten with them, I only know they very basics(1-49 and 100)

I fell for the trap too... ''orz (sorta?)
I believed he was a guy in the OP, then I saw the title of the episode then thought...Oh it was a girl afterall...
Then the ending... :3 Now I shall ship AnnaXKaito!!

Well at least Kaito didn't have to use his trinket to solve the puzzle~! :3

And I was thinking that HE was too careless taking off his shirt in front of a guy !

Gammon guy is funny ! so he's that type of a person who wouldn't accept ANY defeat, huh? And now he's falling for Nonoha??

PS I don't like the way he speaks, though.

Anna Gram like fell out of tree. And the link with animals remembering Mao Halstead from Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu. In the first place I thought that if Kaito will fall her in love, that will be nonsense. But in the end it was relief. That guy wishes with the kiss >.> I don't feel well -.-"
Wou...I never expected Gaimon likes Nonoha O_O it was so funny for his efforts to help her xD And he was just left. Complicated situation O_o

ANA GRAM HAH. It's a trap~ Not as good as Rukako of course.

As much as the letters being roman numerals was easier to work out, I suppose they did it so that the audience could have our 'HAH!' moment of solving it. Which is nice inbetween the retarded puzzles.

Anyway, the whole 'believe in the puzzles, they want to be solved, I can feel them' is so ridiculously what I don't even. I DON'T EVEN.

So sad. I thought at first they broke the mold and actually created a female character that is a genius, too, even if her 'genius' consisted of memorizing certain facts about paintings (sigh), and then FUCK YOU, no female geniuses in MY misogynistic shounen anime.

For those people actually interested in puzzles, you can make a thread in the recommendation forum asking for anime and manga with genuine puzzle solving rather than watch this thing.

Better yet, you can look for old and new adventure games that combine fascinating puzzles with interesting stories. The world of adventure games has settings for every taste and I would be glad to answer any rec requests for adventure games, from old text adventures to the recent action/adventure hybrids. (I can also recommend other problem solving sources of various kinds)

One final word: given his current problem solving record, Kaito would not stand a chance in the world of Myst. Can you?

Man, and I was looking forward to another girl character in the series >.>
No more hopes of that then, all the titled (Einstein etc.) characters are male, so hardly any competition for Nonoha. Guess it's a reverse harem for her, if the series cares.

Well series is interesting and it seems that the main plot is going to start moving along soon :D

Why did Anna have to be a guy...? Very feminine personality, looks like a girl, talks like a girl and dresses like one. He being a guy was just bad, in my opinion. Why not keep that character a girl? Really...

I hope we get to know the reason behind his feminine appearance.
