Anyone who's curios about the culprit just needs to watch episode 8 again

and seriously suspecting Moritani? that's an obvious no.

The murderer already killed 3 girls prior to this. She looks too calm for killing 3 girls, but "shocked" beyond all reason when she "killed" the 4th? Not possible.

So Kotoura's mother VA is Kikuko Inoue :D just noticed that... I can't hate her now ;)


Kikoku Inoue is Furukawa Sanae`s seiyuu as well.



Furukawa Sanae = Good mother
Kotoura Kumiko = Bad mother

It would appear to be the female cop - simply look at who passes Kotoura on her left ( our right ) - the shirt they are wearing the Elbow and arm and when the vision is done you get a semi distant look at their back white shirt rolled up sleeves .. *shrug*

I agree it's the female cop. Like the earlier post stated with Persona 4. I believe Moritani got framed for the "murder" and was there at the wrong time.

I wish Moritani would distance herself from Kotoura and company. Not only she's a fifth wheel, she's the butt of their jokes! I like her I just wish she would just stop being friends with them.

The female cop look awfully similar to Manabe. I thought she was her mother or something.

After playing Persona 4, you can never rule out newb looking detective as a killer.

Look like Kotoura's mother don't really hate Kotoura completely, there is a chance to reconcile.

God, I wish they would just write Moritani off the show, she's a terrible character and is constantly getting in Manabe's way, who I like. Nothing would have happened had he stayed the night, he is too nice to even attempt assaulting Kotoura or another female.

Moritani isn't the criminal, but there's probably going to be some challenges to get her off the suspect list if the cops discover her covered in blood.

Moritani stop cock-blocking.

My guess on who the criminal is the homeroom teacher from episode 1, he hasn't had any screen time since then, he's angry about that and this is his way of getting back into the show.

I have multiple theories for whats going on the next episodes:

- I considered the detective assistant as the killer because of her wearing the same white blouse as the killer on the previous episode.

- It can't be the man with Kotoura's mom because Kotoura would be scared shitless if that was the case. I'm certain Kotoura reads his nasty thoughts only.

- The club president was the one who spread the rumors to manipulate Kotoura to use her ability.

- Moritani did not kill anyone. Moritani will be accused of murder and Kotoura will most likely use her ability to save her.

- There might be a revelation where Kotoura will experience what the club president's mom experienced except suicide because Kotoura has friends to back her up.

From the detective's conversation at the beginning of the episode, none of the victims are dead (so the culprit is an attacker, not a murderer).
Not sure if the English sub translated it, but the newspaper shown in the episode said the victim was briefly hospitalized and later required 10 days of treatment to fully recover. No victim died.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Kotoura's mother still cares about her daughter a bit so there is still chance there relationship might be fixed again which is a good thing.
It appears she has bad taste in men tho the first one cheating on her and now she is dating someone who seems to enjoy beating high school girls in to hospital.
At least he appeared like the guy walking past Kotoura when she collapsed and Kotoura recognised her face.

This anime is really good.
So far my favorit of winter 2012/13 season.

Ahaha Manabe might be wiser then he makes himself look like.
He did good job at provoking (and testing) Kotoura's mother enough to act and protect her daughter :)
I just wonder Why does not Kotoura read his mind in cases like this one.

BTW> dunno how you guys concluded that Mori is the criminal from her feeling guilty for giving other girl opportunity to start making rumors about Kotoura. If criminal showed already it's either Ko's mom's boyfriend (high prob) or the huge cop girl (in case she act ldump to hide her motives)
